CHAPTER 15: THAT MUCH
ปรับปรุงล่าสุด:
2024-10-06 12:45:45As we settled back into the car, I couldn’t hold back my feelings any longer. “Nathan,” I said, a hint of frustration in my voice, “Malachi doesn’t like me. Did you see the way he looked at me?”
Nathan chuckled, a playful sparkle in his eye. “Oh, he’s not supposed to like you. You took his job, remember?”
“What do you mean? Are you actually going to sack him?” I asked, half-expecting a serious response.
He shook his head, a smirk tugging at his lips. “Not at all. I just made him the Managing Director of one of my firms.”
I blinked in surprise. “Wait, what? You’re serious?”

All I want is you CHAPTER 16: INTRODUCTION GONE WRONG
“Mel, I want you to brace up, we are about to enter our first meeting,” Nathan said to me without even looking at me or considering the way I felt.As we walked into the boardroom, the atmosphere shifted immediately. All eyes turned toward us pr would I say, toward me. The room was filled with well-dressed men and women, their gazes sharp and inquisitive, clearly not expecting an outsider.There were familiar faces and, of course, some that I had not had the opportunity to meet. Nathan, always commanding attention, moved confidently toward the head of the table. The whispers started almost instantly, murmurs of confusion barely concealed.He didn’t seem to care, though. Without hesitation, he gestured to the empty seat beside him, the one usually rese

Nathan stood firm, his power and presence radiating through the room, making it clear that no matter what had just been said, he wasn’t backing down. Not for Steve. Not for Katrina. Not for anyone.The silence was thick, and the tension was almost unbearable as everyone awaited the next move, the board hanging in the balance, uncertain who would make the next play.Nathan was unshaken by the chaos that had just erupted. His eyes swept across the boardroom, taking in every face, from Steve’s smug smile to Katrina’s poisonous glare. The shocking effects of Steve’s and Katrina’s accusations rippled through the room. But Nathan was a man who thrived in pressure, and his calmness only added weight to the power he exuded.Clearing his throat, Nathan spoke, his voice cold and unyielding, “Let me remind everyone in this room - -” he paused, his piercing blue eyes locking onto each board member one by one, “ - -I am the majority shareholder. I call the shots. And if anyone here thinks that I’v

Nathan leaned close, his voice low and smooth, almost conspiratorial. "Mel," he said, locking eyes with me, "I want you to find out everything you can about this competition. Get back to me with details."I was about to respond, my lips parting to ask, "Is that really part of my job description?" but before the words could escape, Nathan caught me off guard. His lips brushed gently against my cheek, lingering for a second longer than necessary, and then trailed down, planting a soft kiss on my open chest. The heat of the moment sent a ripple through me, and I could feel a rush of warmth flooding my body. His touch was electric, igniting something deep inside that I hadn’t expected.My nipples stood firm, almost shooting out from the netted bra, held firmly by my white silk shirt. He gently slid one of his hands into my bra and gently scratched the tip of my pointed and firm nipple. It set waves at the angle between my legs as I spread them so that it could find air.“I am not used to

I sat quietly across from Carlos, my heart racing as I tried to gauge his mood. After everything that had happened between us, I wasn’t sure if now was the right time to ask for what I needed, or if it would just push him further away. There was this tension between us and I needed to carefully consider my next words.Carlos, sensing the weight of the silence, broke it first. “Mel,” he began softly, his voice lower and more serious than before. “I only asked you to meet me because…” He trailed off for a moment, as if unsure whether to continue, then pressed on. “Because I miss you. I’ve been thinking about you, about us, and I just - -” His words faltered, but his eyes didn’t. They were locked onto mine with an intensity that made my heart skip a beat. “I want you back.”That was it. That was my clue. He had just given me the opening

I walked into the classroom, and it felt like the air shifted. All eyes turned toward me, their gazes on me like they had seen a ghost, the whispers beginning even before I fully stepped inside. There was a moment of silence, like the pause before a storm, as I made my way to my seat.It wasn’t just my presence; it was my clothes. The sleek designer dress that hugged my curves, the luxury handbag slung over my shoulder, and the expensive shoes that clicked softly against the floor. Everything about me was different. The girl they once knew seemed to have vanished, replaced by someone entirely new. Thanks to my new friend Nathan.I could see the surprise on their faces, some with wide eyes, others with subtle smiles. The guys couldn’t hide their double-takes, and the girls exchanged quick, curious glances. They weren&rsquo

Mr. Davis sat behind his desk, his eyes crinkling with pride as he looked at me. "Mel, if you stay on this path, you’ll graduate as a first-class student," he said, his tone warm and encouraging. "You’ve always had the potential, and now you’re proving it. Keep focused, and the world is yours."His words should have filled me with joy, but instead, they hung heavy in the air, like a weight I wasn’t sure I could carry. I forced a smile, nodding my head as I thanked him. “Thank you, Mr. Davis. I’ll do my best.”But inside, my thoughts were filled with chaos.How was I supposed to stay focused? Lisa’s betrayal still stung, and Carlos, despite everything, still had a pull on me. My father, always drunk, was falling apart, and Natha

As I stood by my desk, my phone still silent with no word from Carlos, a mix of frustration and nerves built up inside me. I had been waiting for his feedback on the assignment, but all I got was silence. It was unlike him to ignore me this long, and I didn’t know how to handle the growing anxiety of it all.Suddenly, Nathan’s voice broke through my thoughts as he called me into his office. I straightened myself and walked in, expecting him to discuss business or give me another task. But when I saw him sitting there, a faint smile playing on his lips, I could tell this wasn’t the usual meeting.“How’s school going, Mel?” he asked, his tone softer than usual, catching me off guard.School? Nathan asking me about school? I stared at him for

I closed the door and turned to face Carlos, my arms crossed defensively as I tried to suppress the rising irritation in my chest."Why are you in my office, Carlos?" I asked, my voice sharper than I intended. "You could have at least answered my calls or replied to my messages."I was not going to take it easy for coming to my office knowing fully well that I was working for Nathan. Carlos knew what he was doing and he was looking for an advantage to get one at me.Carlos shrugged, his expression unbothered, leaning back in the chair. "I don't operate like that," he said coolly, his eyes meeting mine without a sort of remorse. "If you want the information, I’m here. If not, I can walk out of that door right now."

All I want is you CHAPTER 110: A NEW DAWN
Everything had settled into place like the final pieces of a grand puzzle. What once felt like an insurmountable storm had passed, leaving behind a new world, one where Nathan remained the undisputed king, but this time, with order and stability.I had been called back to school, a sign that my life was finally returning to normal, or at least something close to it. The weight of uncertainty that had once loomed over me had lifted, replaced by a newfound sense of freedom and direction. Katrina had received 30% of all the clubs and hotels I owned as per the agreement, securing her future and allowing her to walk away from the chaos without regrets.Nathan, ever the strategist, had made swift work of tying up loose ends. With Don Chappo’s assistance, he had not only removed every trace of the gang that had threatened our lives but had also found a way to put Carlos to good use. Carlos had been given a fresh start—an actual career, a legitimate one—working under Nathan and Don Chappo’s g
All I want is you CHAPTER 109: CHECKMATE!
The boardroom was thick with tension. Every eye was on Nathan, Alex Sommer, Steve, and Uncle Jesse as the battle for control of Cain Corporation reached its climax.Alex Sommer, ever the smooth talker, stood up, adjusting his perfectly tailored suit with an air of confidence. He glanced around the room and smirked, his voice dripping with condescension."None of this matters," he declared, his eyes locking on Nathan. "You can throw all the accusations you want, but it's not enough to stop the change of leadership. The majority of the shares are in my control now. That is all that matters."Blake, Nathan’s sharp and calculating lawyer, was quick to respond. He stood with an easy grace, his expression unreadable."Tell me, Alex," Blake began, "is fraud, not enough grounds to stop another fraud?"Alex narrowed his eyes, shifting his weight slightly."What are you implying?"Blake’s gaze swept the room, ensuring that every board member was listening before he continued."The very people w
All I want is you CHAPTER 108: THE FALL OF BETRAYAL
The tension in the boardroom was suffocating. The air was thick with silent power plays, unspoken accusations, and the weight of the decision that would determine the fate of Cain Corporation. Nathan sat at the head of the table, his posture calm but commanding, his piercing eyes scanning the room. He wasn’t here to beg, he was here to remind them exactly who he was.My only fear was that I hoped he knew the game he was playing. A lot of things don’t favour him at the moment, but I think he can appeal to the Board members so that they can stand by him. A lot of them worshipped him, yet this was a tough call.Uncle Jesse cleared his throat and leaned forward, resting his elbows on the polished mahogany table. He clasped his hands together in a gesture of authority before addressing the board members."Ladies and gentlemen," he began, his voice smooth and practised, "we have gathered here today for an important matter, one that affects the very future of this company." He took a moment
All I want is you CHAPTER 107: THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM
As we stepped into the office, a hushed tension blanketed the room. It was as if everyone had already caught wind of the chaos unfolding behind closed doors. Employees who normally went about their business were suddenly stealing glances at us, some filled with curiosity, others with thinly veiled concern.Nathan walked beside me, his expression unreadable, his steps measured and confident. I, on the other hand, could feel the weight of every stare pressing into my back. This wasn’t just another board meeting. This was a battle. A battle for control, for power, for survival.Blake was the first to greet us, standing just outside the boardroom with an air of quiet authority. He gave us a tight-lipped smile, his eyes scanning Nathan’s face for any signs of hesitation.“They’re waiting for you,” he said in a low voice. “Uncle Jesse, Steve, Alex… they’re all inside. They’ve wasted no time.”Nathan let out a quiet chuckle, shaking his head. “Of course they haven’t.”Blake’s expression hard
All I want is you CHAPTER 106: THE HEAT OF VICTORY
The soft morning light filtered through the curtains of Nathan’s penthouse, casting long golden streaks across the room. I stirred beneath the silk sheets, the warmth of last night’s intimacy still lingering on my skin. For the first time in what felt like forever, I had slept soundly, wrapped in Nathan’s arms. But as I opened my eyes, the weight of reality crashed back onto my shoulders.Nathan was already up, standing by the window with his phone pressed to his ear. His posture was tense, his back rigid as he listened intently to whoever was on the other end of the line. I could only catch snippets of the conversation.“…Yes. Make sure it’s all filed before the meeting… No, I don’t care what Alex Sommer thinks he’s planning,” He paused, exhaling sharply before adding, “Just do it.”I sat up slowly, watching him as he ended the call and turned around. His piercing eyes met mine, but they weren’t filled with the warmth I had seen last night. Instead, they were sharp and calculating. H
All I want is you CHAPTER 105: I WANT YOU
As the warm water cascaded over my body, I let out a deep sigh, letting the steam wrap around me like a comforting embrace. The tension of the past days had been suffocating, and for the first time in a while, I allowed myself to relax.I ran my hands through my hair, washing out the last traces of soap, my eyes closed as I let the water cleanse not just my body, but my mind as well. When I finally opened them, my breath hitched.Nathan stood before me.He was completely bare, his chiselled form illuminated by the dim, misty light of the bathroom. Droplets of water clung to his skin, accentuating every curve of his muscles. His deep blue eyes held mine, dark with something I couldn’t quite name, something raw, something undeniable.For a moment, neither of us moved. The sound of the water filled the space between us, the steam creating a hazy, dreamlike atmosphere. My heart pounded in my chest, my skin prickling with awareness.Then, he stepped forward.His fingers trailed up my arm,
All I want is you CHAPTER 104: WHAT DEAL?
As we stepped into Nathan’s penthouse, the tension from the boardroom still lingered in the air. Nathan’s jaw was set, his mind clearly working through everything that had just happened. I had barely settled onto the couch when the doorbell rang.Nathan didn’t even need to guess who it was. He strode to the door, exhaled deeply, and pulled it open.Katrina stood there, her sharp gaze moving between the two of us before she stepped inside as if she owned the place. She was still dressed in the same impeccable blazer from the board meeting, her posture poised, but there was a flicker of unease in her expression.Nathan shut the door and turned to face her. “Alright, Katrina. Let’s cut to it. What deal did she offer you?”Katrina tilted her head slightly, then smirked. “You seem impatient.”“I don’t have time for your games,” Nathan replied, crossing his arms. “Tell me.”Katrina’s gaze flickered toward me as if debating whether to say it out loud. But then she shrugged and leaned against
All I want is you CHAPTER 103: THE TURNAROUND
As Nathan and I stepped into the conference room, an unmistakable tension filled the air. Every board member was present, their eyes shifting between one another, some avoiding Nathan’s piercing gaze, others openly hostile. But what caught me off guard the most was the sight of Katrina seated confidently among them. She was dressed in a sleek black blazer, her expression unreadable, but there was something steely in her gaze as she met Nathan’s eyes.Nathan’s posture stiffened. He scanned the room, his piercing eyes locking onto each individual before settling on Katrina for a moment. Then, in a voice dripping with restrained fury, he asked, “What is going on here? Who gave the authority to call a board meeting in the middle of the night?”A slow, deliberate chuckle broke the silence.It was Uncle Jesse. He leaned forward, resting his elbows on the polished mahogany table, and clasped his hands together as if he had all the time in the world. His smug expression made my stomach twist
All I want is you CHAPTER 102: BAD OMEN
The revelation that Steve, Uncle Jesse, and Alex Sommer had called for an emergency board meeting sent a chill through me. This wasn’t just a power move, it was a calculated strike, and if Nathan didn’t act fast, he could lose everything.We grabbed our things but instead of moving towards the door, we stood there looking at each other. I wondered how we got here, to the point where we are almost losing everything we hold dear. Our love, my school, and Nathan’s empire seemed to be crashing down with n solution.I turned to him, my voice firm despite the panic bubbling inside me. “Nathan, if they’ve called a board meeting without you, it’s not a good omen. You know what this means.”Nathan clenched his jaw, running a hand through his dark hair as he exhaled heavily. “I know,” he said, his voice laced with frustration. “But what do you want me to do? Sit here and watch everything I built get handed over to Alex Sommer on a platter of gold?” His piercing blue eyes locked onto mine, a sto
