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.
"Oh Nathan, let me finish my food first," Gabriel said, turning to Nathan with a frown on his face, causing Gabriel to instantly stop chewing the food in his mouth "Ok, let's go," Gabriel said, taking the water from the table. He drank from it and covered the bottle of water again as he walked with Nathan into the inner chamberAs soon as they got to the inner door, the two men standing by the door instantly bowed and opened the door for Nathan and Gabriel to walk inThey entered into a very neat, clean, and luxurious room. A man was on his knees in front of them, begging for the boys to stop slapping him"enough" Nathan ordered, causing them to immediately step back away from him"He came to spy on us, sir, when Genevieve checked him. She realized that he was a spy," One of the men said"Call Genevieve for me this minute," He ordered"Yes, sir. " He bowed and left the room to call the manager of the place"What evidence do you have against him?" He asked"He's a spy sir, check his p
"My room in this mansion, except you all concluded that I was dead and then gave the room to someone else," Nathan responded calmly"Oh, I thought I heard something like you got a house, i guess it was a false rumor then," Derek answered"You should stop listening to rumors, uncle, it's bad for your age and reputation," Nathan said and without waiting for any response from him, he left the room leaving Derek angry and full of hate"Did he just call me old?" Derek asked, pointing to himself, causing Philip to burst out laughing"I think you should leave the kid alone Derek," Philip said, causing Derek's blood to boil even more, but he managed to calm himself down by not letting his feelings show"That's the reason why I sent Iroh to school in Korean after his masters. It was all to avoid all these things," Derek said and hissed before leaving the Lord's roomDerek walked into his room with anger written all over his face. Gwendolyn noticed his movement and asked, "What's the matter, ho
In the library, Philip sat in his usual chair, waiting for Gwendolyn. He strolled through his phone while thinking of the ongoing drama. Deep down he knew that things were now going to be different around herePhilip's thoughts were interrupted by the creaking sound of the door. "What took you so long?" Philip inquired"Of all times, Janette saw tonight as the best time for us to have a sister-in-law conversation," Gwendolyn growled and locked the door of the room. She was wearing an animal skin color robe with shorts and a bra as the inner"My sister can be annoying sometimes," Philip said and Gwendolyn disagreed with him"No offense, but your sister is annoying all the time," Gwendolyn said while clutching the hem of her dress and gritting her teeth."Calm down baby, she's my sister, okay?" Philip said as he stood from the chair and walked towards her to comfort herHe caressed her shoulders, causing her to close her eyes as she felt the warmth of his hands on her shoulders"What's
“Yes Dad, no one can become the Lord of the family without getting married first” Janette added, causing the Lord to conflict with himself. He couldn’t change the order of things because of one man, so he turned to Nathan and said,“Nathan, we’ll have to shift the dates then, I’ll shift the company anniversary day by a week,” He paused and turned to everyone present in the room“So Nathan is given two weeks to bring home a wife and get married, then he can be made the Lord on the day of the anniversary,” He added, causing Gwendolyn’s jaw to drop“Why the haste, My Lord? A partner is for a lifetime and one can end up regretting for the rest of his life if he doesn’t get married to the right one,” Gwendolyn said causing Derek to swiftly turn to her reading the meaning of her words but he chose to ignore it“There is a girl that Nathan was supposed to marry three years ago after he saved their Lord’s life and ever since she has been waiting for his return” The Lord continued turning to
Nathan's car came to a halt in front of the company's business sector and surprisingly, there were no paparazzi around"I've already called the heads of various departments for a meeting. They're expecting us at the moment," Timothy informed as they stepped out of the car"Okay," Nathan responded, and they walked toward the entrance of the companyAs soon as they stepped feet on the first floor, everyone present in the room swiftly turned thier heads to face the door. The once crowded and noisy room instantly turned silentNathan got into the private elevator and soon got to the seventh floor where the meeting was held. Nathan trailed behind Timothy, who was already familiar with the place. Nathan's kept his gaze high and as he walked through the hallway, every single person he passed was terrified by his aura. The moment he stepped into the meeting room, everyone present in the room stood to their feet and bowed slightly"Welcome Mr. Nathan," they greeted and Nathan sat on the chair
