Natalia's POV I couldn't bear to look Dad in the eyes because it felt as if he would strangle me. I was afraid and hurt. Why did this have to happen? All I wanted was to grow the company nothing more,why did my good will turn into something bad for me? "Do you even know what the money that you spent was going to be used for?" Dad asked and I kept quiet. Talking would only infuriate him,I knew the best thing to do was be quiet and listen to him even though his shouting was scaring me. All I could do was act like a mouse caught in a trap. This was all Thomas' fault. Why exactly did he leave? Couldn't he just have accepted this child. I bit my lower lip in frustration. "That money was the money that was supposed to be used to launch the new kitchen gadgets that your brother Logan was producing." Dad revealed and I opened my mouth in shock. So that was why the money was readily available. I wasn't aware of this. He shouldn't blame me. "But instead you spent it on a scam co
Natalia's POV I know it would be hard to get myself out of this situation but it was best I try because if I keep quiet my Dad would actually send me to my grandparents. I know he has been trying to get rid of me for a while and this was his chance now. "What nonsense are you saying ?" Dad asked. "I am sorry,I didn't mean to deceive you." I apologized again. "Let your words be clear when you speak Natalia, stop beating around the bush." Dad told me. "Thomas is the one that has been telling me the companies to invest in, he acted like my financial advisor." I dropped the bomb and a deadly silence followed. I had no other way to gain forgiveness than to tell the truth and hope it would mend things. I just want to get this over with. "I tried making you let him stay but you refused." I added. "Natalie I am not quite sure I understand what you are saying." Dad said. "What do you mean by Thomas is the stock broker?" Dad questioned. "Well, you should know from the start that I am
Natalia POVI need to convince Thomas to return back with me,this would be tricky. I don't even know where he is and I don't think he wants to talk to me.I sighed in exhaustion,what have I gotten myself into.I need to calm down and think straight. I need to remind myself that no matter how angry Thomas was at me he still loves me.Thomas has been with me for all these years and helped me without expecting anything in return you will help me again.I just needed to go about this carefully."No matter how late it is, it's best you have told the truth now." Dad said in a calm tone."Now I won't expect anything from you, Thomas child is still here he will return." Dad nodded as he was in thoughts.I think he was putting all his hope that Thomas would return because of his child.My palms became very sweaty as I was scared, I can't tell the whole truth.Dad won't forgive me.What if I don't find Thomas first I need a backup pain."Get back into your room for the meantime, let me think a
Thomas PovSitting on my desk in front of my laptop,the tapping sound of the laptop keyboard was the only sound that filled my room.I looked over what I had written down on a notebook beside my laptop and the words on the screen of the laptop and I nodded in approval.It was correct.I didn't need to make any mistakes as I don't use the laptop I used to work from home to go out even to my office. It has a lot of information I don't want to get out and I don't know why I can't get myself to trust anyone completely after what Natalia did to me.I took my pen and wrote a contact down on my notebook.I need to call this number later and get the information I need.Beep!Beep!The alarm on my desk beside my laptop went off and I taped on top of it and it turned off.It was 5 am already.I sighed deeply as I turned my neck round in a circular motion to loosen its stiffness, I rubbed the back of my neck and sighed.I have been doing research since 3 am. I got most of the information I nee
Thomas Pov A small frown formed on my face at his words."You want me to invest in your company?" I asked curiously."No, I want you to return back to my company." He corrected me and I scoffed."You want me to leave my own company and return to your company or you want us to work together?" I questioned since I wanted to be sure I heard him right."I want you to return to my own company." He confirmed what he said and I could only stare at him in disbelief that such ridiculous words left his mouth." If both our company's merge together and have the name of my company ,it will be better that way, don't you think so?" Gabriel asked and I scoffed and couldn't help the laugh that broke out from my mouth.I slapped my hand on the armrest of the couch as I laughed, I tried to stop laughing but one glance at his face that looked serious made me burst out laughing again.He must be joking.He has to be.I don't know how senseless people can be him asking me to give up my own company and go
Natalia's POVI thought I was a step closer to getting Thomas back home but when I got to Thomas's office and saw Dad there I felt the blood drain from my face.I knew that dad said he wanted to meet Thomas as soon as possible but I didn't think he would come the next day.He never said anything to me about coming here today.I thought that I could come here today so I could buy myself a little time to figure things out and apologize to Thomas but all my plans went down the drain.Dad slapped me across the face immediately he saw me and I was shocked.Thomas' security refused to let me see him even though I had an appointment with him and Dad dragged me out of Thomas's company building.I was still in shock from seeing Dad here and I was pleading for him to let me go.Dad didn't care about any explanation I wanted to give as I was practically dragged into his car and the driver drove us back home as Dad continued berating me in the car and calling me an ungrateful child for humiliatin
Thomas POV;For the fourth time this week I have rejected an appointment with Mr. Gabriel.He has nothing to offer me yet he is telling me to come to work in his company. What type of sick joke was that?Natalia had also tried to set up an appointment but she was rejected,she even went as far as dropping a message for me which I didn't bother listening to.All her words were now trash in my ears.I don't know how Mr Gabriel did it but he got a hold of my new personal number."Thomas I am sincerely sorry for any pain we caused you but you should see things from my own point of view. I was not aware of Natalia's deceitful lies." Mr. Gabriel said feigning innocence.Even though he wasn't aware of Natalia's he insulted me every chance he got."Have you forgotten what I told you when I left your house?" I asked."I told you that I will make you regret what you did to me and there's no way that I will come back to that house or work for you!" I snarled at him"You can gain from my company,
Natalia POV;I was living in fear in my own house.Fear of the unknown and fear of tomorrow.Even though I begged my parents numerous times not to abandon me because of my actions. They are already making arrangements for me to go to stay with my grandparents even though I went on a hunger strike for four days to prove I would rather hurt myself than leave this house.Even though I snuck out of my room to eat at night for the four days I went on a hunger strike I didn't eat for the whole day and only survived on snacks.I was getting really tired from not eating properly.But Dad or Mom didn't care at all about what I did.They did not care for my feelings anymore and my mother was acting as if I did not exist.My older brother Logan was who my parents were focusing on now since I proved to be useless to them.Whenever dad sees me downstairs he would scream at me to get out of his sight and ask me to get out of his house and the next thing I will do is run upstairs to my room , lock
