"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
Nathan wiped off the stains of food on his lips before drinking his bottle of water.Without wasting any minute in the dining hall, he made his way to the sitting room where Henry stood just in case Nathan had an order to give"Is there anything that you'd want, sir? Is there anything that you want me to do for you?" Henry asked"No" Nathan bluntly replied"Ok sir," Henry said while stepping back "Oh, there is one thing though," Nathan said, causing Henry to instantly step forward. When Nathan informed Henry that there was nothing he needed at the moment, Henry smiled inwardly because, to him, it only meant that he was doing his job well."I'm at your service sir," Henry said with his head bowed in front of Nathan"I'm expecting someone, his name is Gabriel. When he comes, let him in immediately and inform me," Nathan ordered"Okay sir, but it's late, when will the person be coming?" Henry inquired“Tomorrow morning.“ Nathan shifted his gaze away from Henry back to his phone and made
The Poroit family was sitting in the dining room for breakfast, a lot of them didn't want to be present but it has been a family tradition that no one can alter because the previous Lord of the Poroit family believed that a family who eats together, stay together"How is my father's health, Timothy?" Janette asked"He's not getting better, ma, I think...""Where the hell is that bastard child? Does he want my father to die before he comes?" Janette said, cutting Timothy off"What did you say, Aunty?" A voice rang from the door, causing everyone to instantly turn to see who it was"Na... Nathan" she stuttered. Derek's mood instantly changed after seeing Nathan. He wasn't surprised, but deep down he hoped that Nathan wouldn't show up"I thought I heard something, Aunty? Are you surprised to see me?" He inquired"No... I'm just overwhelmed," she responded and turned to face everyone else in the dining room and asked, "Aren't we all just overwhelmed?"The room was quiet, no one responded
Nathan ignored them and took a few steps closer to the Lord, then he said,“Have some rest, I’ll be back by evening for dinner,” Nathan informed causing everyone’s jaw to drop in shockEven before Nathan’s parents died, Nathan never liked eating with everyone in the dining room. He was the only one who dared to complain about the old family tradition “O.K.” He coughed and Nathan exited the room with GabrielIn their luxurious car, Nathan scrolled through his phone with a sly smile on his face“Slowly Gabriel, slowly!” He uttered“I know boss, you’ll bring them down one after the other,” Gabriel uttered, causing Nathan to grin“I’ll hit them hard that they won’t bother trying to stand on their feet again and they won’t suspect anything coming their way” The both of them felt neutral, no other word was spoken in the car until they got to a phone shopThe moment that Nathan stepped down from the car, a few people turned to look at him. The news was already flying around the city that h
In the Poroit family mansion, Derek is in his room pacing back and forth when Gwendolyn walks into the room looking worried"What do we do now that he's back? Everything we've planned for will slowly crumble right in front of us," Gwendolyn said stating her worries"Shut up, Woman! Don't wear your worries on your face," Derek said in a rage"I'm sorry, but what do we do now?" Gwendolyn asked"When is Iroh coming back home?" Derek asked. Iroh is his only child. He sent Iroh to school in another country to learn about their ethics and good culture"He said he's coming today, I'm sure he’s on the plane now," Gwendolyn answered"Good! We will continue. Nathan is still a fool, like his father, I'll take him down without wasting time. There's nothing to be afraid of," Derek said and heaved a long sigh. He strolled towards the bar counter in his room and poured himself a glass of wine before bursting into laughterIt was a really dry laugh, and Gwendolyn just stared at him, looking stunned.
