Chapter 25

Nathan stared at the sumptuous meal on the table before him and darted his gaze to the file Mike was holding. Right now, dinner can wait. He was dying to find out the content of the file.

Mike slipped his hand into his pocket and pulled out a black wallet. He pressed it on the file and passed them to Nathan.

Nathan collected the items and dumped the wallet on the couch beside him. He quickly opened the file and began to fiddle with the pages of the document.

The documents contained statements he couldn’t comprehend so he turned back to the first page and was struck by what his eyes saw on the first page.

With a dropped jaw, he lifted his widened eyes to Mike. “What the hell?” he managed to ask after letting out a gasp.

Mike smiled and crossed his legs. “I knew that you’ll be surprised the moment you find out the list of companies in Alcantara’s possession.

The first page of the file Mike had given to him contained the list of companies they owned.

    Chapter 26Nathan slowly opened his eyes and rolled down the Versace sheet covering him. He laid on his back and let out a clumsy yawn. He slept like a baby last night. His head still hurts but the pain wasn’t as bad as it was when he went to bed last night. He couldn’t wait for the cut to finally heal so that the headaches would cease. Nathan shut his eyes and opened them almost immediately. He quickly sat up and roved his eyes around his large luxurious room. He gasped as the realization of reality dawned on him. He went to bed thinking that the mansion, the file, and the cards Mike had presented to him last night were all an illusion but it wasn’t. Nathan rubbed his drowsy eyes with the edge of his palms and cast his gaze at the edge of his kingsize bed. The file was still there with the wallet containing the cards. He sighed and got out of bed. He was already feeling on top of the world. To confirm that the events that occurred yesterday weren’t a dream, Nathan rushed to t

    Chapter 27“Can you drive?” Mike demanded.Nathan ran his hands through his hair. He had been on a couple of rides with Henry and Charles and they had taught him how to manipulate a car but he wasn’t sure if he could start a Bugatti or Lamborghini. “I’m not sure about this Uncle Mike. I still need my driver’s license to be sure that I can pull this off.” Nathan replied and cleared his throat loudly. Unlike Henry and Charles’s cars, the ones before him must be housing different gear systems thought Nathan.“Well, we can check it out,” Mike said and plunged his hand into his breast pocket. He brought out the key to the Lamborghini and resolved to open the door to the car. Nathan watched with amazement. He couldn’t wait to jump into the vehicle. Mike opened the car door and motioned to Nathan with his head to step in. The excited Nathan mounted the driver’s seat while Mike joined him on the other side. Nathan couldn’t stop roving his eyes around the car. The speedometer was shielded

    Nathan strode to his bedroom with a wide grin. It was a few minutes past 6 pm. In less than 2 hours, he’ll be having dinner with Charlotte. Not only was he feeling nervous, but he was also a bit excited too. After taking a shower, Nathan decided to place a call to Larry. “Can you come and pick me up tonight?” Nathan said immediately after they exchanged pleasantries. “Of course boss. By what time?” Larry asked. Since the dinner was scheduled for 8 pm sharp, Nathan felt that it was better if Larry arrived 30 minutes early because they needed to pick up Charlotte from her house. “7:30 pm Larry.”“Noted boss.”Nathan hung up. It then dawned on him that he was yet to pick a venue for their dinner that night. He decided to check up on some awesome places in the city with his phone. Nathan pressed the phone to his chest and flashed a broad smile. The file Mike had earlier enlisted to him containing the properties he owned had names of a couple of eateries and five-star restaurants.

    Charlotte sighed and decided to follow Nathan. She wanted to insist that they opt for another eatery but she noticed that Nathan seemed confident. “Don’t worry Charlotte. I’ve got everything under control.” He assured her and took the lead. She began taking steps after him. If Nathan was bent on impressing her, she finalized that he outdid himself. She just hopes that he doesn’t get into any trouble. They got to the entrance and met two unfriendly security personnel dressed in a gas blue DZA men’s overall. The one with a scar on his left cheek turned to Nathan. “Do you have any reservations?”The policy of DZA demands that VIPs make a reservation and get a printout before hitting the restaurant because of its competitive nature. If one doesn’t book early, he might not get the chance to eat there and would have to wait for another opportunity. Nathan pulled out his wallet from his pants pocket and drew out his reservation slip. He presented it to the security guard.The security

    Chapter 30Nathan folded his arms across his chest and looked the assistant straight in the face. “Unbelievable!” he spat. Is that how they treat people here? He wondered. “Listen, sir!” Nathan began after clearing his throat loudly. He sat up. “I made this reservation a while ago and came here with my slip. I paid for this. This is my spot and there’s no way I’m leaving it for someone else.”Nathan darted his gaze from the assistant to the door where Alessandro was standing in his bid to prove to them that he knew what was going on. They wanted to buy him off his table and he was aware. The Manager’s assistant groaned in frustration. He was hoping Nathan would jump on the offer of getting a bonus since his reservation was going to be revoked but Nathan had turned out to be a hard nut to crack. “Listen to me, young man. As it appears right now, this space will be handed over to the wealthiest and right now, someone richer than you is offering to pay double the reservation fee.”

    CHAPTER 31Even though Charlotte feared for Nathan, she was glad that he was able to stand up and defend himself against the injustice the assistant and Alessandro were about to inflict on him. Nathan on the other hand was determined to fight. He wasn’t going to sit tight and get humiliated by some rich dude. “Seems like you didn’t hear me right? I will use this device on you if you don’t leave this place this minute.” The security officer reiterated while pointing at the shock device. Nathan stood his ground. “I’m going nowhere!” he maintained. “Fine!”The security officer raised his device and was about to launch it on Nathan’s chest when a husky voice came through.“What’s going on here?” the manager’s voice came on. He had been standing by the door. He began taking steps toward Nathan. He decided to intervene when he noticed that one of the security officers was pointing a shock device at Nathan. “What are you doing? Stop it!” he spat.The security officer slowly lowered th

    Mike ignored the manager and strode toward Nathan. “I’m very sorry Nathan. Please let them make it up to you.”Nathan smiled. “You don’t have to apologize, uncle, Mike. It’s not your fault.”Mike then turned to Charlotte. “I’m sorry that your dinner was ruined, Miss. Please, can the management make it up to you?”Charlotte agreed with a nod.“Give me a second!” Mike said and pulled the manager to a corner.The manager was still bearing an apologetic look. “Please, Mr. Mike. Allow me to make it up to them. We are sorry.”“Of course, you’ll make it up to them. You don’t have any choice after all.” Mike replied with an impish grin.The manager knew Mike had something up his sleeve but he wasn’t bothered as long as he’ll get to keep his job.“You are going to do something for me Mr. Manager and do you know what’s it?”The manager displayed a blank expression.“You’ll take Nathan and his guest to the first-class compartment and serve them yourself,” Mike told the manager.He swallowed and

    Chapter 33Nathan realized that the events that occurred that evening had suddenly sparked some feelings of suspicion in Charlotte which was causing her to interrogate him. She was looking directly into his eyes, waiting for a response. Confused about what to say or do, Nathan ran his left hand through his hair and put on a fake smile. “I’m serious Nathan. Who the hell are you?” Charlotte maintained a straight face. Nathan was still putting on the fake smile. “What are you talking about Charlotte? How could you even ask me such a question? I’m Nathan Smith, the guy you’ve always known.”Charlotte arched a brow. “Really? Because I’m not sure anymore.”She roved her eyes around the first-class compartment and darted her gaze back to Nathan. “We are occupying the best table in DZA, the fanciest restaurant in Rockville city and you think that’s not worth finding out?” said Charlotte. Nathan could see the anxiety in her eyes. He wasn’t ready to tell her about his newfound identity.

    Steve pulled the car to a halt in front of the airport building. Nathan turned to Avery with a smile. “You still want to do this?” He asked with his hand stretched out toward her. She took his hand into hers. “More than anything in the world. I’ve been running around for years and I never told you this but the main reason why I came back to Rockville was to make peace with your soul and then build my brand from scratch now that you’re here, I just want to spend as much time with you as possible, away from the whole chaos and drama. Just the two of us.” Nathan planted a kiss on her forehead. “Thank you so much, Avery.”She smiled. “I’m excited. It’s going to be my first time in Russia and I just can’t wait to explore the city with the love of my life.”Steve cleared his throat loudly. “Looks like I also need to find the love of my life and take her to Russia.”They laughed.Suddenly, Nathan’s phone began to ring.

    Morgan turned to his bodyguards who had been inside the lounge with him all this while. “Call for reinforcements. We’ve been tricked.”Derrick darted Morgan’s attention toward the chip on the table. “It’s a camouflage. It’s all programming shit.” He said and began to take off his jacket. Morgan was already sweating profusely. “I must find the real Alex. I need to kill that bastard today.”“Are you even serious?” Derrick cried out. “We are in a mess. That chip proved that this whole session was recorded.” He took his head into his hands. “I should have listened to Kelvin. This was a bad idea and now, we’re doomed. I’m not even sure if we’re the only ones in this building right now.”“I reserved the whole damn building and apart from the staff, there’s no damn customer here.” Morgan retorted and threw his gun on the floor. “My backup team will be here any moment from now and we’ll get the hell out of here. As for that recording chip, I don’t care about what’s in it or who had access t

    “Now that your girlfriend is safe and out of the picture, let’s talk business,” Morgan said to Nathan’s camouflage who was sitting before him and Derrick. Both men had no idea that the man sitting in front of them was a product of science programmed to function like Alexander Alcantara with a chip buried in his head. The camouflage was programmed to follow Cole’s instructions and ever since he walked into the longue, his words and actions were being directed by Coke from outside. “Why did you kill my parents?” The camouflage asked Morgan. Morgan broke into a laugh. “Seriously? Do you think I have time for this? Do you want me to respond to your stupid questions? You’re doing this to buy time right?”“Isn’t it obvious that you have me under your mercy? If you are going to take me out then at least I deserve the chance to know why you killed everyone in my family.” Nathan replied. “For my brother’s sake.” Morgan quickly replied. “You killed Corrigan, the only person in the world wh

    Nathan stretched his hand toward Avery and held her hand tightly. “You’ll be fine.” He mumbled to her lovingly. She nodded repeatedly.Derrick clenched his jaw and looked away while his bowels continued to heat up with rage. “You’re lying,” Morgan replied. “I gave you ten minutes to come here and according to my guards, you came alone so how did you get to rally troops and station them here?”Nathan chuckled. “I didn’t bring any troops from home. If you and your partner were smart enough, you’d know that this is the Grandiose Hotel and the Grandiose Hotel belongs to the Alcantaras.”Derrick and Morgan exchanged glances. “Shit!” Derrick cussed and rubbed his hair repeatedly. “It didn’t cross my mind.”Morgan frowned. “All I had to was give the manager a phone call before coming in. I told him that if four minutes pass by and Avery does not come walking through the door, he should tell the restaurant security squad to start firing.” Nathan said. Suddenly, Derrick snatched Morgan’s g

    The waitresses returned carrying food trays. They graciously placed it on the table. Morgan reached for the plate of steak and began to devour it like a hungry lion. Avery kept staring at her plate of pasta and meatballs. “Are you okay?” Derrick demanded. “Yeah.” She replied and looked up. “Don’t eat that.” Nathan’s voice came through the chip. She heaved a deep sigh because that was exactly what was on her mind. What if the food was poisoned? She kept thinking. Nathan continued speaking to her. “Leave your bag there and get up. Act normal and tell them you need to use the restroom then you head out.”“I think I need to pee,” Avery announced. Morgan stopped eating and dropped his plate immediately. “But you just got here?”“Yeah.” Derrick agreed with a nod. Avery faked a smile and quickly stood up. “I think I had a lot of water earlier and now, I need to pee. I’ll be back soon.” She said. She was about to turn around when Morgan spoke. “Excuse me?” Avery turned around lookin

    “You look as gorgeous as ever,” Nathan commented while Avery was tracing her way down the staircase. It was time to meet Derrick. He had already dropped the location and had called a while ago to say that he was on his way. Avery was wearing a short black floral dress with black sandals to match. Nathan had insisted that she apply makeup so that Derrick doesn’t sense her insecurity. “Are you sure about this?” Avery asked when she reached Nathan. Nathan took her face into his hands. “You’ll be fine. I promise you with my life.”She smiled. “If you say so.”“Remember, act normal and do as he says. Okay?”“Got it,” Avery replied and walked away. By the time she arrived at the restaurant, Derrick was already inside because he had texted her about three minutes ago that he had arrived. On her part, Avery had convinced him that their meeting was a secret because Nathan was not going to approve. She had taken a cab to get there. When Avery walked into the building, she was stunned by i

    “Welcome, bro. What can I offer you?” Nathan demanded the moment Kelvin walked into his living room. Kelvin marched in and didn’t even look at the couch Nathan was presenting to him. “I don’t think I can sit.”“You look restless. What’s the matter?”Kelvin sighed and faced Nathan. “It’s Derrick. He had been in my place for the past three days and he’s been looking like shit.”“Did you ask you to come here and convince Avery to go back to me?” Nathan asked. He then raised an index finger. “Listen, tell Derrick that if I see him close to my woman, I’ll kill him so he should leave her alone.”“That’s not why I’m here.” Kelvin sharply replied. “Last night, he went on a rampage and drank several bottles of my wine and when I walked into him in my living room, he was half conscious and he said some things.”Nathan abruptly stood up. “What did he say?”“You and I both know that it’ll be difficult for a man like Derrick to change.” Said Kelvin. “It’s not like I’m condemning him.” He quickly

    “He’s coming out shortly,” Daniel reported and sat with the rest of the team. That morning, Morgan’s allies stormed his mansion to talk about the tragic events that were unfolding. It was no news that his biggest warehouse was burnt to ashes. That evening, another one was looted and by midnight, Morgan got information that his security guards were attacked on their way back from the club and 6 perished while two were in a coma. Morgan made his way down the staircase, carrying the weight of his problems. However, he was sober and didn’t display any angry reaction. Perhaps, he was too beaten by the incidents that he had lost his will to react. His Allies looked upon him as he made his way toward them. The group consisted of his friends and partners who had helped him execute shady deals in the past. After he sat, Daniel stood up and cleared his throat loudly. “There is no denying that we all know who is behind the constant attacks. Without mincing words, I’d like to inform you all t

    It was Saturday morning and during the weekends, Morgan plays tennis with Daniel, his assistant. Daniel is no fan of table tennis and barely knows how to hold the bat but every Saturday and Sunday morning, he shows up dressed in shorts with his gears just to impress Morgan. Also, Morgan knew that his assistant was bad in the sport so it gave him an edge to defeat him completely all the time. This morning, Daniel was already seated by the court in Morgan’s house and was waiting for his boss to show up. Morgan had just stepped out of his room and was on his way toward the living room before heading out to your court when his phone began to ring. He frowned and didn’t pick up the call. Even though he was a workaholic, he had made it clear to his workers that none of them would disturb him with work matters except if it was an emergency. The call persisted and the warning bells in Morgan’s head began to ring. What if this particular call was a case of emergency?The call was coming fr
