Chapter 139

Avery turned to Nathan maintaining a sad expression. “My dad is forcing me to manage his company. He’s obsessed with me being heir so he wants me to use the summer break and learn about business management.” She heaved a frustrated sigh.

“You need time I guess,” Nathan said with his eyes fixated on her well-sculptured eyebrows.

She swung her head from left to right. “Not time Nathan. The thing is, I’m not even interested in the whole business thing.”

Nathan sighed. “What do you want?”

Avery turned to him and the sad expression instantly vanished. It was the first time in a long while someone wanted to know what she wanted.

“I want my brand.”

Nathan darted his gaze to her blue eyes.

“I want to develop a company that is into the production of skin products and perfumes. Beauty products, you know?” she said with a smile.

She had sparks in her eyes and Nathan could tell that she was passionate about her dream brand.

“Have you worked on it yet?” Nathan demanded.

“Well,

    Nathan stepped out of the Rolls Royce after heaving a deep sigh. It was past 9 am and he was feeling a bit disappointed even though it was the first time he was turning up late since he became a manager at Phoenix.Last night, he had a bit of a hangover from the party and Larry had to drop him at his mansion. Driving from his mansion to Phoenix was a long journey that took more than an hour. He held onto his briefcase and began striding toward the surveillance unit. Flashes of the event that had occurred at the reunion began to waver in his mind. He smiled when he recollected Kelvin’s face after the hall manager declared his payment successful when his card was inserted into the machine. Kelvin had to storm out of the hall and Nathan knew he must be wondering how much lottery money he’s got left. As for Avery, Nathan had to convince her that it was one of Mike’s credit cards. She still felt that debiting six million was much but he managed to convince her not to worry about a thi

    Chapter 141Flashback!“Are you sure about this?” Dory demanded. Rissa gave repeated nods. “Yes ma’am. I even went through the contract papers. It’s worth 500 million dollars.” She reported. “I heard him with Elaine speaking about it. The company wanted solar systems and some security cameras to be supplied.”Rissa was standing right before Dory in her office and was giving her an update about the proposal Charlotte’s team came up with. Dory clenched her jaw. “Such a huge amount of money was invested and that bastard didn’t feel like telling me about it?” She gave the table a tight slap. Rissa said nothing. “You can leave. Keep me posted,” Dory told Rissa and abruptly stood up. Rissa nodded obediently and left. Dory was pained by the fact that Nathan didn’t involve her in his business dealings. She had told him several times that he was on probation hinting that he was answerable to her but now, he just ditched her and went ahead to sign a contract. She looked at the closed do

    Nathan went through the file. It was the file he got from Mike. It contains the list of companies under Alcantara management. He was elated when he discovered that YALISCO company made it to the list. He also made another discovery. The Alcantaras had 80% shares in YALISCO. He broke into a dry laugh, marveling at the irony of life. By the time he is done with them, they’ll be begging to complete the deal. He smiled when an idea struck him. He quickly went for his phone and placed a call to Elaine. A few minutes later, Elaine showed up in Nathan’s office looking tensed. Sweats had teamed up on her forehead and a part of her face was covered with her hair. “Did you speak to Dory, what did she say?” asked an impatient Elaine. Nathan exhaled and turned to her with a smile. “I think you should take a deep breath too.”Elaine folded her arms across her chest and continued to wonder. Why the hell was Nathan acting as if everything was going according to plan when all things were fall

    Nathan took a quick shower and traced his way to the dining. He was wearing a green tee shirt on loose shorts. He had already picked out the tuxedo he’ll be wearing to the meeting but he felt it was better to get dressed when he was done with lunch.When he arrived at the dining, he was greeted by a food tray, a fruit basket, and a bottle of champagne on an ice pail on the table. Mike was already seated.“That was fast!” Nathan said and pulled the chair out. He sat, facing Mike.“Well, your chef knew you were dropping by and he’s quite efficient. He delivered on time.” Mike replied.Nathan uncovered one of the bowls and grabbed a plate. He turned to Mike. “Want some?Mike shook his head in disagreement. “I’m full.”Nathan began to place some steak on his plate.“How are things going on at the office?”Nathan sighed and went on setting his plate. After he was done setting his plate, he grabbed a fork and turned to Mike.“First of all, I must commend the guys handling the renovations at

    Dr. Lance stood up and faced the group. “What do you guys think about MC Donald’s idea?” Soon, words of endorsement began to fly around the hall. The club members began to stand up and declare their support for the motion. Nathan also found the idea a good one. It would give them a sense of ownership and save the central committee from the stress of running around to find a fitting venue whenever there was a meeting. Dr. Lance cleared his throat. “Well, it is settled I guess.”“Yes!” They chorused. “Motion accepted.”Nathan got a notification on his phone. He checked it and wanted to step out and place a call but he wouldn’t want to walk out of the meeting. His breakthrough came when Dr. Lance announced a thirty minutes recess. He felt that the given thirty minutes was enough for him to drive back home and complete his quest and then return in time before the meeting continues. Nathan was the first to leave the hall but unknown to him, the recess was not the conventional recess

    “Since we don’t have much to deliberate on today, I’ll suggest that we talk more about the building we plan to build and reach a conclusion.” Dr. Lance told the group. He sat down, giving a room to the group so that they could throw in their suggestions. After a brief deliberation, the group concluded that a large hall was the best. Some members suggested that they buy a property and make a big hall out of it while others wanted an already built hall.Dr. Lance allowed them to start giving donations while the club’s treasurer took a record of their donations. Nathan didn’t speak all through the deliberation process. He was okay with the whole discussion and also felt that a large hall would suffice. Meanwhile, Nathan kept his eyes fixated on Kelvin with his nose mask on, it was difficult to deduce what he was staring at but all through the discussion, he was looking at Kelvin. Kelvin didn’t move his lips since the meeting began. He also had his eyes on Nathan all the time. The

    Frederick Tyson was seated in the living room watching the business news at 8 pm when Kelvin walked in with both his hands plunged inside his pocket. “Good afternoon, Dad.” He greeted and was about to take the staircase leading to his wing when his father cleared his throat loudly. “How was the meeting?”Kelvin turned around with a sigh. He sat next to his father. Fredrick grabbed the remote and lowered the volume. “Alex Alcantara got a backslash from the central committee at the meeting,” Kelvin told his father. The statement provoked a smile on Fredrick’s face. He sat up. “Really?”Kelvin smiled. “A supervision was slated for recess and as the club’s president, he was expected to go with the committee and check out the orphanage during the recess but Alex got into his car and left.”Fredrick hummed. “And what excuse did the brat give? I know he was going to come up with a silly excuse.”“Well, he said he had something to take care of during the recess and he wasn’t aware that t

    Nathan continued. “Yes. This is Alex Alcantara. I wasn’t supposed to contact you directly but you leave me no choice.”There were dozens of thoughts fluttering in the manager’s mind. As far as he was concerned, Alex Alcantara had no reason to call him therefore a call from the Alcantara heir could mean that something was off. The manager began to speak and Nathan could sense the way his voice was quivering. “Good morning sir. How may I help you sir?” he managed to ask. “Your company signed a deal with Phoenix a few days ago. You guys were supposed to deliver about 18 Miratel security cameras to the surveillance unit. Half the funds were transferred to your company’s account but you guys decided to back out yesterday and today was supposed to be delivery day.” Nathan explained. The manager was rendered speechless and Nathan didn’t wait for him to speak before he continued. “Your representative said he was going to make a refund. He clearly stated that the deal was called off. Do y

    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. He heaved a deep sigh and turned to Avery. “It’s Charles.”“It’s over.”

    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
