Back at the house, Doris was being scolded by all of her family members. It was almost like a usual thing that she wasn't even disturbed. Her mind was focused on something else. Nathan had been hiding his true identity from her, all for the sake of trying to protect her. True, she couldn't hate him that much for trying to be a good and protective husband. But there was more to why he had lied. One time when she had been talking to him, his face hardened and sadness clouded his features. What was he not telling her? Then he had reported to her that her friend Ronnie Anne came around the night before, and he had not been certain that she was the one who had spilled the secret. If it had not been her, who had actually told her of Nathan's secret? And what was Nathan still hiding from her! "We may lose our entire business because of what Doris has done." Doris paused as she heard her name, her mind coming back to reality. She listened to the trash Owen was spewing, oh and she had be
Name One (1): Richard Greens, Ettavile's most loved music idol, son of late influential leader, Henry Greens. Age: 27 years. Favorite topic to discuss: Greek Mythologies.Relationship: Model, Larisa Menzel. Favorite color: Blue. How can he be influential and why must he be in your circle?: His father was a powerful leader in Ettavile. All his friends and colleagues still respect his son, and thus, keeping someone like him around would not only make the auction a success, it would also expand your connection in the city. He was still reading when Tori knocked and entered, a frown plastered on her face. "Are you okay?" Nathan asked. The young woman grunted in frustration. "This is harder than I thought." She confessed, then sat next to Nathan. "Okay, I have sent the information to the board members, announcing the meeting to come next Monday. Then I replied to the news and announced the auction. But," Of course there would be a 'but' on the way."My friends aren't so sure that t
There was something unsettling with Doris that day. She was certain that her mother would be the death of her, and so, after their little family meeting that didn't go as planned, she decided to try something new. To take a dangerous lane down her path. She had called up Ronnie Anne and asked for an audience. To her utmost surprise, the woman gave a direction. "Meet me at the usual bar, noon sharp." Luckily for Doris, there was still time. It had only been a few minutes to ten. For once in her life, she had to think like her husband. Nathan would have a plan, then a backup plan and a backup backup plan if the need should arise. What would Nathan do in her shoes? First, she needed to define her purpose for going to meet her. "Well," she began to say to herself, pretending to be Nathan. "I want to learn more about her intentions. It's obvious that she didn't send me the text that night and the whole evidence!" Okay, fine. She imagined a voice speaking to her calmly. So how do yo
The young man strode in, silently observing his environment. Obviously he'd been worried he'd just been freaking kidnapped! He was actually much more handsome than on TV. Blonde medium length messy hair, clear skin and clean-shaven with well-defined features. Oh the man was cute! He was on a casual polo and a pair of crazy jeans and white sneakers. "You are?" He asked, staring calmly at her as he wondered what was happening. His cell phone had been taken from him, and his representative Clinton was still with that CEO man. Tori couldn't breathe. "Oh hi. I'm Tori Lawyers, secretary to TMN insurance firm's CEO." There, her confidence was back! "The CEO guy," the young man said, "you're acquainted with him?" "Yes. He's my boss." She was nailing it. Here she was standing face to face with her idol, life could never have been better. Only problem was that it couldn't last.Her confidence was only temporary. All she had to do was make the announcement that her boss would love to meet h
When Nathan rushed in, his first mission had been to find his wife and it had been a bit hard to. He disliked the man named Thomas Castiel, and that had happened to be the only one in the room seated gently as he watched some ancient movie with terrible bad color. After a maid had opened the door, Nathan walked in, signaling his presence with a simple greeting, but the man ignored. "Mr. Castiel? Is Doris not here?" He asked, and the man brought his head up to look at him this time. He gestured he took a seat beside him, only gestures without even taking in the liberty of speaking. How rude of him! However, since Nathan had been desperate, he sat down. Besides, that had been his father in law and the best he could do was to obey. Without bringing his face to meet Nathan, the man asked. "Why have you come, you fool?" It wasn't the first time Nathan had heard the man call him names before. He was even used to the whole member of the Castiels treating him like trash! The young man's
That evening, Tori had set up a meeting with Nathan and Richard. There was a special setting created just for the Greek mythology lover, Richard Greens, and luckily for Nathan, he still remembered a little of those myths from high school. He wasn't really a freak of it, but he didn't exactly hate the Greece wide imagination. Nathan hadn't particularly believed in any religion. He only believed in hard-work and good luck. As well as courage, determination and ability to never give up. He also believed in the universe as a whole. There was a being, a powerful force that created, controlled and commanded all forces of the universe. The setting had been done on a little island just a few hours away from Ettavile, one of Nathan's many owned lands, and the room had been decorated with statues of gods of the Greeks. Then, the whole painting and setting had been in such an attractive mystical way that one would feel they were actually sitting on Mount Olympus! The young man was around alr
"The name's Trevor Davis," the young man in a blue suit said. "May the Lord bless our gathering today," with a religious 'God bless me' gesture, he smiled, "why have you called me?"Nathan knew the next name on his list would be the exact opposite of music pop star Richard Greens.Trevor Davis was a board member and a wealthy man at that. He is well respected and cherished amongst the people in the firm, but that wasn't the only reason they loved him.Trevor was an arch enemy of Manuel Alonzo, and since more than half of the company's staff members hated Manuel, they loved this man.Simple politics.However, Nathan knew there was more to the story, and he would get to the bottom of it.He cleared his throat. "Mr Trevor, it is my pleasure to be here with you."The man smiled. "The pleasure is all mine."Nathan sipped on the glass of wine before him. They'd settled at an exclusive bar that evening, while Tori tried to tackle her own mission. Nathan too returned the smile. "As long as i
Evelyn could be calm when it came to a lot of matters. But that particular day, she was losing her mind!Her life was crumbling right before her eyes. Her association and circle of friends was failing already. It was almost as if everyone had known that she was near bankruptcy already. The stupid husband of hers had absolutely nothing, and Owen's business was crumbling to dust already. Still, Doris still won't leave Nathan's side!What to do next? She didn't know. But she had to think fast!She was pacing round the room when she heard a knock on the door. Owen wasn't home and neither was her husband. Thomas barely stayed at home anymore, and she didn't give two fucks! But if it had been either of them, they could easily open the door using their spare keys. The doorbell rang and the knocking continued."I'm coming. I'm coming." The woman grunted.When she arrived at the door, Pedro was standing before her. "You? What the fuck do you want again?""Oh my potato," he said, leaning in for
