Chapter 68Greg sent more bangs on the door and remained rooted to his spot for about thirty seconds. Again, there was no response. His frustration grew with each passing second. “Shit!” he cussed and curled his lips in irritation after noticing that there was a lock sealing the door. He was so mad that he didn’t pay any attention to the door. All he wanted at that moment was for Nathan to open the door and face him. Before leaving for Nathans’s apartment that night, Greg concluded that Nathan was going to be at home so he decided to turn up at his place unannounced. It wasn’t the first time he had turned up without notice anyway. Greg kicked the door with his left leg in irritation and turned away. He had just wasted about five minutes at the door waiting for Nathan to show up, only to discover that the door was locked and Nathan was not at home. He was hoping to meet with Nathan. They had a lot of things to talk about. With a frustrated sigh, Greg strode to the spot he had p
Chapter 69“I’m good!” Avery mumbled and pressed her purse to herself, refusing Nathans’s offer. Nathan sighed and shook his head. There was no way she was good, alone at that corner. She was just bent on being solo. “Maybe we can sit over there.” Nathan pointed to the last booth on their right. Maybe she needed privacy he thought. “Okay!”He took the lead while Avery followed. They traced their way to the booth and sat next to each other. Henry and Charles were at the bar stand. “So what will you have?” Nathan demanded. Avey sighed and slapped her purse to the table. “I need something substantial.” She then broke into a dry laugh and Nathan was stunned. He had barely seen Avery smile and talk more or laugh like that. “Are you suggesting whisky perhaps?”“Well, that can suffice, or maybe not a drink as strong as you are suggesting.” She replied and crossed her legs. “After that fight, I sure need something powerful.” Nathan chuckled. “You sure do.”Nathan signaled to one o
Chapter 70“So you’re saying that you won’t drive yourself home? Then how are you going to get home?” Nathan demanded with his arms folded across his chest. Avery sighed and gave her forehead a delicate scrape. “The thing is, I sneaked out of the house to come here. My parents still think I’m in my room.”Nathan hummed. “I see!”“So there was no way I could come here with my car. I took a cab and I’ll be hailing one to take me home once I get to the junction.” She replied. “You don’t have to worry about taking a cab,” Nathan said. Avery raised a brow. “I can drive you home.” He told her. Her eyes widened in surprise. Nathan gave a warm smile. “It’s late Avery and quite unsafe for you to trek to the junction by yourself. I can give you a ride.” He said. Avery was rendered speechless. Nathan pointed to the parking space. “Come with me. I’ll take you home. There’s a car down there.”Without uttering any word, Avery began taking steps after Nathan. They got to the parking space.
Chapter 71Nathan groaned and turned to his left. He could feel a hand slowly making its way from his legs up to his chest. Even though he wasn’t fully awake, he could tell that someone was trying to revive him from his slumber.“Wake up Nathan!”“No,” he muttered under his breath and hugged his pillow tightly. He began to receive several taps on his chest. “Wake up.”Nathan opened his eyes slowly and arched a brow. Someone was sitting by the edge of the couch. He couldn’t see the person through the haze that was covering his eyes but he knew someone was seated there.“Good morning!”Nathan quickly sat up and after wiping his eyes with the edge of his palms repeatedly, he could now see clearly.“Mike!”Mike smiled and adjusted his tie.“When did you arrive?” Nathan asked with his gaze fixated on the wall clock by his right.It was barely 7 am and Mike was already in the training room, neatly dressed in one of his exotic tuxedos.“I arrived a few minutes ago so I decided to come strai
Chapter 72Nathan was rendered speechless.“Damn!” He mumbled as the thought of the mafia community wavered in his mind. Not only were his eyes widened in surprise, but Nathan also had a dropped jaw.The list of companies and properties he received from Mike was less shocking to Nathan compared to the fact that his family was ruling the mafia community in Rockville.Dozens of questions began to flutter in Nathans’s mind.How did his family get involved with the mafia world? For how long had they been ruling and was his father the mafia lord?” He wondered. The shocked expression Nathan was displaying pulled Mike’s eyes to his dropped jaw. He noticed a cut on Nathan’s lips. “What in the world? Where did that cut come from?” Mike demanded and began taking steps toward Nathan in his bid to examine the injury. “Just a bruise that I sustained from a fight at the club last night,” Nathan revealed after sighing. The thought of his family ruling the mafia world had clustered in his mind.
Chapter 73Nathan sighed and threw his head backward. Now, his parents were involved in the whole identity thing. Mike pointed a finger at Nathan, looking straight into his eyes. “Lest I forget, you must not reveal your identity at the millionaires club too,”Nathan turned to Mike with a quirked brow. “Seriously?”“Speaking of rivals, a lot of them will be coming for you especially the sons of your parent’s rivals so keeping your identity a secret at that party is essential,” Mike said. Nathan was short of words. “You must win the bidding Nathan.”Nathan fell back on the bed with a sigh. “I’m damn serious Nathan. You have to win the bidding so that you can become president of the millionaires club.” Mike stressed. Nathan was lying on his back on the bed. He turned away with another sigh. Mike strode toward his side and towered above him. “Stop giving me this defeated sighs young man. The Alcantara family always stays on top.” Mike told him. Nathan instantly slipped into deep
There was no denying that Nathan was surprised by the fact that one out of the four guys who wanted to beat him up was now working for him. Such a twist of fate, he thought. Now, Scarface will do anything to protect him. He wouldn’t want to doubt his efficiency because Scarface fought well last night. If he wasn’t drunk, Nathan could bet that he and Charles wouldn’t have been able to take him down on their own. Nathan knew that he had nothing to worry about because he had the finest men on his side. The men slowly lifted their heads.Mike turned to Nathan. “I’ve shared your official phone number with them. They’ll contact you from time to time to see if there are any tasks they can do.”“That’s right.” Don acknowledged. “I’ll also give you Don’s phone number so that you can call him whenever the need arises,” Mike stated“Just give me a beep boss and my guys and I will be where you need us in a flash just like lightning,” Don said. Nathan smiled. He would have preferred to ro
Nathan tucked his phone inside his pocket and began taking strides toward the famous Phoenix pavilion. His classes for the day had just ended while Henry and Charles were left with one more class.He had sent a text message to them, requesting that they meet him at the pavilion immediately after their class.Nathan got to the pavilion, an open space, roofed and surrounded by bars where students visit to rest or hang out. He walked up to an empty round table and settled on one of the chairs. The pavilion had a series of round tables with chairs placed around them.There were just a dozen of students in the pavilion chattering while the rest were going through their phones. After seating, Nathan pulled out his phone and began going through his Instagram feeds while waiting for Charles and Henry to join him after their class.Meanwhile, Charlotte was walking past the Pavilion when she caught a glimpse of Nathan. With a smile, she began walking up to him.“Hey!” she said after reaching th
