Nigel and the gangsters were terrified as they winced in pain. The only thought that crossed their minds was to leave the premises immediately, but they were surrounded. Nigel reached for the gun that fell from his hand when he got kicked the first time. He hid the gun, but he didn't have the balls to shoot anyone with it.
"My sister is the CEO of Foden Group and her boyfriend is Luke! If you hurt me, you'll regret it," Nigel shouted, but she ignored him. Nigel has never been in a situation like this before, he always had the upper hand, and most especially, he underestimated Nathan. He thought beating him up would just be a piece of cake.
Nigel decided to risk his life by pulling the trigger on Nathan. He slowly tried bringing the gun from where he hid it.
"What's that you're hiding?" One of the hefty men in a black suit asked the second he saw him. Nigel didn't respond, his ego didn't get him to beg for them to let him go.
"What's that you're hiding?" He asked again, but Nigel didn't answer. The man turned to his colleague and signaled for him to search Nigel.
They searched him and caught sight of a gun with him, they instantly took the gun away from him.
"A gun," He murmured before punching Nigel. The other guys threw punches at him and the gangsters on the floor for daring to hurt Nathan.
Nathan turned to stare at Nigel and the gangsters with disgust. "Don't hurt them too much," He ordered before walking away
"Listen to his orders," the girl ordered the men that surrounded Nigel and his boys.
She turned to Nathan and said, "Come with me to the car," Nathan didn't protest, he was surprised when she called him Mr. Poroit, and ever since, he couldn't comprehend how she knew his last name when he didn't know anything about her.
Nathan was curious to know who she was, so he willingly followed her to the car and asked sternly, "Who are you?" One thing he was sure of was that she wasn't here to make trouble because she helped him deal with Nigel and the gangsters that planned to beat the hell out of him.
"I'm the CEO of Brown Pharmaceutical Corporation and we produce medicine," she introduced herself.
"But somehow, a very important person in the society took our medicine but didn't get better, instead he got worse and to save our reputation we must cure the person” the girl explained causing a frown to appear on Nathan's face.
"Brown's corporation," He thought. The name rang a bell in his ear. He knew the company because he had once saved the Lord of the Brown Family. Nathan realized that they were aware of who he really was.
"You didn't tell me your name," Nathan said as he stared at her. Her face flushed red, and she instantly gazed down at her shoes before responding, "My name is Lily"
Years ago, when Lily's grandfather fell ill, Nathan cured him and because of the joy that the family felt, they decided to show their gratitude by getting their most precious daughter to marry Nathan, but unfortunately, Nathan left without a word.
A frown appeared on Nathan's face the second he heard her name. He was displeased when he heard the name and he tried connecting everything and he got a memory of when he cured the famous old man in the brown family of a rare disease 3 years ago before he left the Poroit family.
"How did you find me?" He asked. He wasn't pleased that they knew his whereabouts now and there was only one person who would go to such lengths just for him to come back home.
"The butler of the Poroit family told me that you're in town and he told me your location," Lily responded, causing Nathan to narrow his eyes.
The butler thought that Lily would be able to persuade him to come back home. It's been 3 years since he left. They were supposed to get married. Nathan vowed not to go back to the Poroit family until justice had been served.
"That was when I saw that those fools were messing with you." Lily gritted her teeth and clutched her fingers into a tight fist as she remembered how Nigel had pointed a gun at Nathan.
"I think we should beat the hell out of them and take them to jail," she said in a rage.
"No, leave him. He's only obeying his sister's orders like a puppet" Nathan scoffed and turned away from Lily. "So you're here to convince me to come back home?" Nathan asked.
"Mr. Poroit, your family needs you. The lord of the Poroit family is dying and they need you back home," she tried explaining. She gazed at him, but Nathan avoided her gaze.
"My word still stands, I won't return to that house if the killer of my parents hasn't been punished" He repeated the same words he told the butler to Lily but Lily was determined not to leave this place without convincing Nathan that he needed to go home.
Nathan sighed because he knew that the butler wanted what was best for him and the Poroit family, but he desperately wanted justice for his parents. He has reminded the butler countless times that he
Before Lily could say a word, Nathan's phone rang, "Isabella" He sneered and answered the call.
"Hello?" He abruptly answered the call.
"How dare you?" Isabella yelled. The moment she got a call from one of Nigel's boys that escaped.
"If you have no reasonable thing to say, then I'll end the call." Nathan narrowed his eyes.
"Don't hang up on me Nathan, don't try it" she warned but Nathan scoffed and ignored her
"Where is my brother? How dare you order those cowards to beat him?" Isabella asked, but before Nathan could respond, he heard Emma's angry voice.
"What did you do to my son, you fool?"
Before Emma or Isabella could mention another word, Nathan ended the call and slid his phone into his back pocket.After ending the call, he turned to Lily who was standing beside him, and asked, "You haven't told me the reason why you chose to find me." A faint smile appeared on Lily's face then it instantly vanished after seeing the stern look on Nathan's face, "I need your help" she replied, causing Nathan to arch an eyebrow"Please come with me to the car," she said and Nathan reluctantly got into the car with her, "The Carbin mansion" Lily instructed the driver and he nodded in acknowledgment"Where are we going?" Nathan asked, with a frown on his face."The Carbin's family mansion?" she replied "No! Why are we going there?" He rephrased the question. Lily turned to him and heaved a long sigh before saying, "My family is in a big mess Nathan and we need your help," She continued, "The Lord of the Carbin family took our drugs and instead of getting better, he got worse and we n
"What's happening to my father?""What's wrong?" Everyone in the room began to panic, except Nathan. He kept his eyes on the Carbin's Lord."Everyone, calm down," He yelled just to get their attention, "Mr. Carbin will be fine," Nathan added. He turned to look at the faces of everyone in the room. He scoffed after sewing the expression on the doctor's face."Please, I don't want to lose my husband. Tell me what we need to do," Mrs. Carbin begged. Nathan didn't utter a word. He noticed the terrified look on Isabella's face before he took a few steps closer to the Lord, who was unconscious on the bed."He was poisoned," Nathan said as he took out a powder from his pocket. This spec powder can cure any poison in the world and it was invented by Nathan. He's the only one who knows its recipe. In the black market, one gram of the powder is worth half a million. People usually call it a magic drug because it works like magic.The room became pin-drop silent and everyone watched Nathan. No o
"No... no... no, I honestly wasn't aware of the poison," Doctor Tony stuttered, but no one listened to him"Save that crap for someone else! We thought that you were an expert, you're just a quack doctor and if not for this young gentleman, then my father would have been dead by now all because of your wrong medication," The first son of the family said in a rage. He was upset and couldn't imagine what would have happened if his father had died all because of that careless act."I'm sorry sir, I wasn't aware of the poison, it seems that it was hidden, please forgive me for my carelessness," the doctor begged"Okay, it's understandable that you're not good enough to save my father but then you tried to stop Nathan from curing my father all because you wanted to save your dignity," He continued with a frown on his face, "That's unacceptable"He turned to Nathan feeling grateful, "Thank you, Nathan, Even after we listened to this hypocrite and stopped you from giving your medicine to my
Lily strolled through her phone and dialed her assistant's number instantly to convene the press conference."Linda," Lily said as soon as her assistant answered the call"Good afternoon ma, I went through Mr. Carbin's file ma and...""We have sorted that, Linda. The Lord of the Carbin family is totally fine now," she informed her assistant."What... What happened ma, it was our drugs, right?" Lily giggled at how curious her assistant was. "You'll find out Linda, calm down, I have a reason for calling you," Lily said"Oh, I'm sorry ma, I'm just excited that we will finally stop receiving threats from the Carbin family," she said, causing me to smile faintly"I want you to convene a press conference tomorrow night at the Brown family mansion, okay?" Lily said."Yes, but tomorrow is the company's anniversary," Linda reminded her"I know. After the press conference, we'll start the anniversary party," Lily responded and ended the call. She turned to Nathan and asked, "I'm sorry for intr
"I live here and my house number is No. 1," Nathan said, causing the salesman to burst into laughter. The laughter was so infectious that the small crowd joined him in laughing."House No. 1 was sold to a mysterious rich man," the salesman informed. "And obviously, it seems like you're a homeless beggar that can't even afford a meal talk less of buying a house," He added"We should call the police," Isabella's friend suggested"Yes, let's call the police, he's a shameless criminal" They all agreed, and the salesman took his phone out of his pocket"Shameless beggar" "I can't believe that he shamelessly said that he owns a house here, someone that doesn't even have a place to have his bath," they mocked him. "I can't believe he imagined owning a house like that. Does he even know the price of it?" They mocked him and laughed.In the community, there were only 100 villas, and the smaller the numbers, the greater the price. No. 1 villa was the most expensive villa in the community. It
Isabella’s friend was beyond stunned, she couldn’t believe what she was seeing so she turned to the crowd and yelled, “Don’t believe this poor church rat, he’s nothing without my friend, I’m sure he just did one or two tricks here”The small crowd whispered amongst themselves, wondering if Nathan was right or not, but seeing the kind of clothes he was wearing made them doubt his claims“He’s the mysterious man that bought mansion number 1,” the administrator said, turning to face the crowd“And everyone here needs to apologize to him, no buts!” The administrator commanded, but the old woman hissed and spat.“Why would I do that? Why can’t he dress the way he wants to be addressed or did he use all his money to buy a house and forget to buy clothes and a car,” she said, causing everyone to murmur among themselves.“I agree, he’s just a poor man,” Two women chorused A smile formed on Isabella’s friend lips as she watched Nathan being humiliated by everyone around themBefore the Admini
"The Lord is dying, he desperately needs your help, anything you want will be granted to you sir," Mr. Timothy informedNathan scoffed as he stared at him in disbelief. When Nathan's parents died, none of them fought with him to get justice. They let him wander and now that they needed his help, they knew he existed"So pathetic!" Nathan said and narrowed his eyes"We need you back to save the lord, please. He's retiring now and we need an heir," Mr. Timothy continued. "You're the rightful heir." "I'm not ready to come back home now Tim, nothing you say or do will change my mind," He said sternly"Another investigation is currently ongoing for the second time and this time, the people involved in his death will be punished." Nathan instantly turned to face Timothy after hearing those words on his lips"Now he has chosen to cooperate," Nathan said. "We all know who's involved!" Nathan said, raising his voice in anger. It hurt him that he didn't have any evidence against them"It's all
"I've gotten everything prepared sir!" He said "Okay," Nathan responded. He casually moved towards the big and luxurious vanity in the room "I want to make sure they pay!" He added and ended the callNathan tossed his phone back to the bed and picked up the hair dryer to dry his hairIn just a few minutes, he changed into expensive Zara pants and a Gucci t-shirt.Nathan strolled out of his room with his phone, walked towards the dining table, and sat on the chair waiting for his dinner to be served...In the poroit villa, all the family members are seen eating at the dining table quietly. Only The Lord and his wife were absent from the table and the head chair was emptyMr. Timothy's clicking footsteps caused them to turn and gaze at him quickly."He didn't come," Janette, Nathan's aunty, asked as she gazed around and behind him but still got no sign of Nathan"No, he said he'll put it under consideration," Timothy responded, causing Philip, One of Nathan's uncles to hit his hand ab
