What is right?

Nathan clearly didn’t know which route to take. Every possible contingency he played out in his head to keep his friendship with Letha led to him ineluctably losing Rose; that was a nightmare he didn’t want to go through.

First he loved her and then he valued his relationship with her dad. He had entrusted everything about her to him. The safety of her body and also her heart. If he claimed to be her protector he had to guard her from every form of danger, external and internal.

Messing with her heart will break her, making him a form of danger to her heart.

And when her head is left unguarded, she’ll naturally run to someone else to protect it. And it might just be the dude’s son who Nathan had begun to spite for no concrete reason.

His mind drifted to the sad possibility of him and Rose going back to the way they were when they first met. The regular bodyguard and his warden relationship. He snapped out of the thought, it was the worst that could happen, and then swa

    "Arrrggggh" Nathan exclaimed with frustration because no guard was at the glass check point. "You think there's no one in?" Cayden said as they all observed the well lit mansion. "The lights are on dude, are you too daft to see that?" Nicholas said and Nathan chuckled. "Shut up. I know" Cayden said. Soon enough a steward came to the rescue and pulled the gates open, a cranking sound echoing into the night. "Pheww, finally" Nathan said as Nicholas accelerated the throttle. As they drove slowly past, Nicholas paused as Nathan instructed him to do so. Nathan slid the window down and peered at the steward in a black and white apron. "What of the guards?""They are on leave sir, for the meantime."The steward said. "And why Is that?" The man shrugged. "I have no idea Sir" "Great" Nathan sighed, relaxing back into his seat as Nicholas continued into the mansion. They parked in one of the available parking lot when they noticed a yellow Limousine drive in as well. Nathan and the

    Yes I am" Nathan said in a delusional tone, as he was quite eager to hear what he had to say next, holding Rose's arm more firmly and putting up a mischievous smile."And you hail from?" The man asked, his tone brisk, with quite a deep and persistent voice as he tried to garner information about his background."Broken Springs, or so I was told " Nathan said. He noticed the odd look on the man's face and quickly gazed at rose briefly so he could avoid the man's hot gaze. "I heard it's a town known for raising rascals" "I beg your pardon"?Nathan all filled with rage, squeezing the silver slippery cutlery right before him as he gazed at the tan-skinned man."I think it's time to eat" Mr Swack interrupted As one of the steward walked round to open the trays on each side of the dinning table. Rose twiddled her fingers round Nathan's and bringing her lips closer to ears."Please don't let him get to you, he's always a jerk"Nathan put up a big smile on hearing those words as it rela

    He stared at her as she ambled down the school block down to the library, as he stepped out and shut the door of the vehicle, then hurried down to class. The echoing sound of voices of every student as the professor rendered the lecture for the day, Nathan stepped in quietly from the back snuck to his seat so no one would notice his presence, but Letha's voice stopped him from behind. "Hush, latecomer, Guess it's cause of the party that you got all occupied?" She smiled " Oh, Not really, I had a slight headache this morning, I just couldn't get up early""Oh so sorry about that, hope you're good now?" "I'm very much good, Thank you" Nathan replied still in deep thought about why she was still caring after their conversation last night as he gazed at Cayden and Nicholas walk in. They both walked past the front of the class down to the back and quickly sat down next to Nathan" Bro you won't believe who we just saw outside"? Cayden whispered. "Who"? " Your girl Rose, she says

    " Uhh, yes I am" He chuckled As he bent his face and smiled"It's complicated" He laughed as Nathan pulled closer and shook his head with a big smile " When did it all start?" Nathan said quite anxious "It all started back then at the party, seeing her dressed that way brought ignited something in my heart, she's really attractive"Cayden explained. " Oh yes man, she's really attractive but remember not all that glitters is Gold..... you could be pretty much just infatuated " Nicholas interrupted as he fixed his gaze on Cayden" Yes man, that's my earnest fear, I had funny thoughts that came along with my feelings"" Thoughts like"? " Do you think an attractive lady like that won't have other admirers? I don't think she's single" Cayden lamented with a big frown on his countenance as Nathan and Nicholas laughed like they had taken some laughing pills. Nathan unlocked the vehicle, Cayden was still lost in thoughts though he wondered what amused " Not funny guys, it's my feeling

    It was a late evening, as everywhere was dark and quiet that Nathan's car engine was the only thing reverberating noisily throughout the area as he went past. Nathan drove back home as he couldn't help but think about rose and what she had gone through during the ambush, He felt so pissed at himself for not being there to protect her... As he drove past the entrance into the compound, he gazed at Cayden and Nicholas as they hung outside waiting for him to return . He parked the vehicle at the garage and stepped out with a frown on his face " I heard what happened, I'm sorry man," Cayden said pitifully " Hope she's fine? Was she attacked?" Nicholas said anxiously." Yeah she was, they had attempted to kill her if not for the intervention of one of the guards who was brutally injured in the process, if anything had happened to her, I really wouldn't have forgiven myself" Nathan lamented as he undid his tie." Don't be so hard on yourself man, thank God she's safe and wasn't attacked

    Damn! That's bad" Cayden exclaimed as he placed his hands on his head in shock "I've always suspected letha to be nasty. She doesn't have clean intentions when it comes to you and Rose," Nicholas said as he placed his hand on Nathan's shoulders to pat him. " Rose could be thinking the worst of me now, I hope letha is happy wherever she is."Nathan said as he kept thinking about the incident that had just happened . Cayden grinned when he spotted his crush from a distance. He couldn't help but gaze at her. Then he he quickly stowed away and went to her as he had wished to speak with her all these while. This was his opportunity to finally talk with her, He said within himself as he approached her. " Hello Veronica, How are you doing today?" Cayden said as she turned and gazed at him, her brows raised. " Cayden, I'm doing great you?" " I'm good. Can we..uh talk probably somewhere calm and private" Cayden said. She wondered what he could want to discuss in private " Sure, you

    He looked out through the glass pane of the car viewing the pedestrians and passing vehicles on the road till they arrived at school. Nathan drove down to the parking lot and settled at his usual spot. They all came down to head over to their lecture room when Amelia approached Nathan, a big smile on his face. " Thanks for the ride Nathan, I appreciate" " Oh Don't sweat, it's nothing" Nathan grinned " We could hang out sometime perhaps?" Amelia asked, anxious to hear his reply. " Okay that will be fine, just give me a call," Nathan said as he shut the door sensors and headed down to meet up with Cayden and Nicholas. " Bro, that girl is way into you man" Cayden chuckled. " You think? Why do you say that?" Nathan replied. " Are you daft? I don't just think, I know. Because she stared at you all through the ride, she didn't know I had my eyes on her" Cayden grinned. " oh really? Well I suspected all these while with all the action, but I guess I just want to keep playing along

    They later retired to their bedrooms as everyone was exhausted from the experience of the day. Nathan went off to bed first as he needed to be up early to drive Mr swack to the airport. " I need to get to bed now as I have a long day tomorrow," Nathan said to the others as he retired to his room. The next morning, all bright and blooming with the sweet whisper from the birds and warm breeze from the trees. Nathan was up early as expected, having his daily routine exercises and headed to the bathroom to fresh up. He set out dressed in a green simple top and tracksuit trousers with glowing white snickers and headed downstairs to the dining to have some breakfast. Everywhere was serene and calm, the lights all lit . The heater was on, regulating the temperature of the room and the Tv was displaying a particular sporting channel. Nathan opened the fridge and got out some chocolate bread and toasted it, to go with some hot coffee. He was cautious of time as he didn't want to keep

    The End

    Nathan had been living in fear for months, after the last face off. Ever since he had become involved with Mr. Swack and Khosrow's illegal organization he had been having a rethink about things. He needed to bring things to an end and make sure no one was going to be hurt again. Two friends had died. No one else was going down that line. He took a glass of juice from his fridge and downed it. Cayden bounced down the stairs dressed in an all black. He looked ready. "How are you holding up?" Nathan asked. "Ready when you are. We have someone to stop" Cayden replied. Nathan nodded. "Are you calling Rose over?" Cayden took his own juice from the fridge."No, I'd very much prefer that I see after this game of violence is over. Where is Nicholas?" "Right here" Nicholas came down, in ash-brown clothes. "Let's go" They all left the house heading for the cars. Nathan had seen firsthand what Khosrow was capable of, and he knew that he had to stop him before it was too late.For w

"I could tell things were getting tense and I thought changing the subject might help."Cayden nodded appreciatively. He knew he couldn't let his past issues with Veronica get in the way of his friendship with Nicholas and Nathan.But as they walked back to the mansion, Cayden couldn't shake off the feeling that something else was brewing beneath the surface. He had heard rumours about Mr Khosrow's recent attacks on Mr Swack's crew, and he knew it was only a matter of time before things came to a head.The next day, as the sun streamed into his room from his window along side the calm breeze from within, Cayden received a call from an unknown number."Hello?" he answered cautiously."Cayden, it's me, Remik," the voice on the other end said quickly.

    He voiced his concerns to Mr Khosrow who listened intently before reassuring him that everything would be fine. But deep down inside, Remik knew that nothing was ever certain in this line of work.As they prepared for battle once again, Remik steeled himself for what lay ahead. He thought back to those dark days when he was lying in a hospital bed wondering if he would ever walk again.And yet here he was now - ready to take on Swack's empire one more time. It wasn't just about revenge anymore; it was about justice for all those who had suffered at Swack's hands.With renewed determination coursing through his veins, Remik stood up from the table and looked around at his comrades-in-arms. "Let's do this," he said firmly. And with those words ringing in their ears, they set out once again to face the challenges that lay ahead - together as one united force against what they deemed tyranny and oppression.A few days later, Cayden and Olivia were out on a date at a busy restaurant in th

    As they stepped out of the hideout, Mr Khosrow's face was clouded with guilt, and Remik couldn't help but feel suspicious. He knew that Mr Khosrow had done some terrible things in the past to get back at Swack - he just didn't know the extent of it."So, what's our next move?" Remik asked, trying to steer the conversation away from Mr Khosrow's past."We hit them where it hurts," Mr Khosrow said, his voice laced with anger. "Their drug factories."Remik nodded in agreement, feeling a sense of satisfaction that they were finally making progress against Swack and his empire.But as they made their way towards the factories, they came across Nathan and Rose. Nathan had a dark scowl on his face, and Rose looked worried."What's going on?" Remik asked, immediately sensing something was wrong."Nathan told us what you're planning," Rose said, her tone desperate. "You can't do this. It'll start a war."Nathan stepped forward menacingly. "You might think you're doing the right thing, but you'

They quickened their pace and found people looting shops.Remik's heart sank as he witnessed the anarchy in front of him. He thought to himself that how much more they have to face to make their city a peaceful place.Mr khosrow saw the desolate expression on his face and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. "We'll get there, Remik. We just have to keep fighting." Remik nodded solemnly, feeling a renewed sense of determination.As they continued walking, they noticed a group of young boys huddled together in the corner of an alleyway. One of them had a torn shirt and a black eye. Mr khosrow approached them slowly, his hands raised in a peaceful gesture."What happened here?" he asked them gently.The boys looked up at him with fear in their eyes" We were attacked by some bullies who have been threatening us to give up terr

    Remik's heart skipped a beat as he listened in on the conversation. Could this be the answer they had been looking for? A chance to put an end to all the bloodshed and violence?He tried to keep his expression neutral as he continued past the two men, but inside he was buzzing with excitement. He couldn't wait to go back and tell Mr khosrow what he had heard.As he made his way back to their hideout, Remik couldn't help but notice how different the atmosphere in the city felt today.

Hey sweet, ops did I wake you up??" Rose replied." Yeah ... But it's all good. Is it that obvious I'm just getting up?" Nathan giggled. He felt quite embarrassed."

    Cayden was heartbroken as he walked out of the coffee shop. He knew deep down that he still loved Veronica, but he also understood that she had moved on. He frowned, as he walked down to the bus stop to board a bus. His placed his hands in his red jacket and headed back home. On arrival, he walked in to meet Nathan and Nicholas seated on the couch and seeing a movie. The banging sound as he closed the door got their attention. Nicholas and Nathan gazed at the entrance to see who came in." Hey man, Are you Okay?" Nicholas said as he noticed the gloomy countenance.Cayden sat at one of the single couches in the sitting room, his hand on his face and placed his legs on the seat's hand rest." Looks like you had a bad day man," Nicholas said. They gazed at Cayden waiting for a reply." Yeah yeah I had a very bad day... I've lost her guys. It's high time I realize that and move on. I can't keep toiling with my feelings like this" Cayden replied." She didn't accept after all this time o
