He decided to leave his neighborhood where he grew up in New York and he decided to relocated to California but he stayed in a poor neighborhood, life has not been easy for him because he has no job.Few days after, he got a job application to work as a personal assistant to one of the richest man’s daughter in California, Nathan was happy, he could not wait to go for the job interview the next day, he was nervous and practicing for the job interview because this time around, he does not want to be rejected again.“ I have a feelings that I will get the job” he said speaking to himself, he drank his coffee while while he kept on practicing for the job interview.The following day, Nathan Wilson work so early in the morning and he suited up in black looking clean and handsome, he buckled his shoes spray his cheap perfume and ready for his job interview, few moments later, he got to the company, it was his turned to be interviewed, he was the only male among the ladies that wanted the person assistance job, most of the ladies passed the interview and Nathan heard the HR talking about it to Natalia Ford, the CEO of the company, Nathan stood up from the reception and she stopped Natalia when she was about to go to her office.“ Good morning ma’am” he said and Natalia looked at her from head to toes with a weird eye.“ How may I help you?” She asked.“ I heard the HR talking about the job interview, I meant for the personal assistant and I was told that you were the one that was in need of one and I among the people searching for the job, I am the only guy among all the ladies and I heard the HR saying that almost all of us passed the interview, I hope I will not be rejected, I have been rejected a lot of time but I hope if you can try a guy to be your personal assistant won’t be a bad idea, I need the job so badly and I hope, you won’t reject me” he said.“ I am sorry young man but you will have to wait for your results tomorrow, we already tell all of you to go back home and we will get back you, why are you still here” The HR said.“ You should leave now” the HR said and Natalia stopped the HR and she took pity on Nathan.“ What is your name?” She asked.“ Nathan Wilson” he replied and Natalia turned to the HR.“ How was his performance in the the interview?” She asked the HR.“ It was ok but I guess there was a young lady much more better than he is” the HR replied.“ Well, I will give him a try, he might do better and if he don’t then I will go for the other young lady you talked about” she said.“ But ma’am…..” the HR and Natalia cut him short.“ No but…. Just find out about where he lives. Mrs Nathan Wilson, you can have the job make sure to resume tomorrow by 8 am” she said and she walked to her office, Nathan was happy and could not thank Natalia enough.It’s the following day and Nathan got to work so early before Natalia could got to her office, he was waiting for Natalia, her driver drove in and Nathan was in the entrance and he quickly helped her with her bag, Natalia was surprised that he got to work so early.“ Impressive! You got to work so early” she said.“ Yeah, I had to” he replied.“ Hummm… let’s see how far you can continue this way, this is just your first day at work today” she said and she walked to her office, she enter her office and she seated.“ They are a lot of work to do today, many files to work on” she said and she brought out a lot of files, they both work on the files from morning till late in the night and she offered to drop him home.It’s been weeks and Nathan and Natalia has been working in the files, Nathan has began ti décolore feelings for her but he does not want to think about because he was from a low class.After week, the project, they were working on has been done and Natalia was impressed by his hard work.“ I am so impressed by your hard work” she said and Nathan smiled.“ Thank you” he said and Natalia got into her car because it was already evening and closing time.Few hours later, Nathan got back home and he could get his mind off Natalia, he was madly online with her as he get closer to her each day they meet at the office.“ How can I control my feelings toward Natalia? I have to control it so I won’t lose my job, I can’t afford to lose my job” he said speaking to himself, Nathan was happy that his life was getting better after he got a job because his life was a living hell when he was in New York especially when his foster parents thrown him out on the street, he work on some files, Natalia left on done to prove to Natalia that he was a good personal assistant but his mind was still on Natalia, he can’t get his mind off her but he has no courage to tell her what he felt for her because he will loose his job immediately.“Maybe some days when I become rich I will confess my feelings for her but that will be only if she hasn’t gotten married to another man” he said speaking to himself.Chapter 2Natalia was already back home and her mum was in the sitting room reading her news paper as usual and also sip her juice, Natalia went to embrace her mother, Natalia was looking tired and she seated beside her mother.“ You look so stress and tired, you need some rest” her mum said.“ Yes mum but I already called the lawyer Ana’s my uncle, I have been the CEO for the past years since my dad passed now I can now inherit all my dad’s properties as the only child” she said and her mother smiled.“ You did well,” her mum said and Natalia stood up.“ I will be upstairs in my room to take my shower” she said and she went upstairs to her room ti take her shower, she can’t wait for the next so she can finally have everything her father owns so she can be richest.Few hours later, it was time for dinner and she went down to have dinner with her mother looking happy.“ I can see you look happy this night” her mother said.“ Yes mum, I am so happy because soon, I will be the richest an
Chapter 3Nathan was in his office and he was in a deep thought but he hope Natalia have the same feelings he has for her.It’s was already in the evening and Nathan has already close and ready to go back home and Natalia stopped him and Nathan stood in front of her car.“ Yes ma’am” he said.“ Well, you will have to come with me to my house, I need to introduce you to my mum so we can prepare for our small wedding” she said and Nathan nods his head and he went with her inside the car, they both seated in the backseat of the car, Nathan was stealing to stare at her, Natalia noticed her and she smiles.“ Why are you stealing a look at me? You should stopped. Do not even think further about our relationship because it will end in three months” she said and Nathan smiled and he looked away.Few hours later, they got home, they both get down from the car and they walked into the house, Natalia’s mum saw her with Nathan and she wonders who he was and her mum walked closer to her while she
Chapter 4It’s already the wedding day, Natalia was dressed up in her simple white wedding dresses while, Nathan suite up in black, the guest were just her uncle and other family member, her mum was also dressed up, Nathan and Natalia has already signed their contract wedding behind, the only two and her mum knew about it, they did their wedding in their living where the priest pronounce them as husband and wife, her uncle laugh because she got married to a low class, the rest of the family member were laughing behind, her uncle walked closer her to during the after the party of the wedding with the wine in his hand smiling, Natalia and Nathan were together.“ I thought you said you were going to get married to the most richest but you got married to a poor man not only a poor man but a trash, your personal assistant” her uncle said and Natalia got upset, Nathan felt embarrassed.“The only thing that matters it’s love so it’s better you mind your business, Nathan and I both love each
Chapter 5Nathan’s parents took him to a private estate in a island surrounded by water in a beach front area, it was the most expensive area, he was the only one going to live there with a luxury life, he as turns into of cars, Nathan was happy after he got his new home, he was happy and hugs his parents.“ We are so sorry Nathan that we found not give you the life you deserve in your childhood and this is the only way we can pay you back” his mum said.“ It’s fine mum, I understand and I am not upset with you” he said.“ Thank you for understanding us son” his dad said.“ Tomorrow, we will announce to the world that we found our son and the heir to our properties and now you have taken over” his father said and Nathan was happy because he wanted Natalia and her mother to be shocked, the son of how he turned out to be.Natalia is entier life with her father’s properties and by the time, she decided to go to the man she loved, she met him with tone of girls, she got upset and she went
Chapter Natalia “You made it,” Nathan whispers when I enter the cottage late at night. The dim lights give me a perfect view of his handsome face. His smile draws me in, and I can’t help but return it. My father’s disapproval is the least of my concerns. Of course, the old man would have gone crazy if he knew about the love between Nathan and me. What matter is that I’m here with Nathan, and there’s no way my father will find out. My grin widens when he crosses the distance between us and hugs me.“My love,” he says before planting kisses all over my face. I melt in his arms just like always. We saw each other earlier this morning before everyone in the house woke up, but it feels like it’s been ages since I was last in his arms.“Happy twenty six birthday,” he whispers, that ever-dashing smile of his lighting up the room. I doubt my father has anything special planned for me.“Thank you,” my smile beaming.“I got you something,” he says, his hand hidden behind his back. He reveals
I need you,” I pant when we finally break apart, desperately trying to pull his head back down to continue."I need you, too, my love," he whispers, his words fueling the hunger within me.I want to feel every inch of him, raw and unfiltered, causing my fingers to frantically work at unfastening his loose shirt. I gasp as Nathan s lips trail down my neck, fighting the urge to ruin the shirt.Besides, the reminder that he’s only wearing a few articles of clothing stops me from completely destroying it. Swiftly, I remove the shirt from his body and toss it aside, not bothering to see where it lands as I place my palm on his check. A loud groan fills the air as I caress his fine-toned abs. My Nathan is molded like a god, flawless in every way. He is the sweetest man I've ever known."Please, Natalia you are messing with my control," he whispers."Would that be a bad idea?" I ask."I want to make this moment special. I want to be gentle with you. You are soft and fragile. I don’t want to
You're driving me crazy," he says. I start smirking, but it quickly fades when he swoops down to cover my heat with his mouth.“Ahhh Nathan !” I squeal. He decides to take it a step further, toying with my nub.“Oh, yes!” I cry out as Nathan completely covers my pussy with his mouth. He sucks me as if he’s trying to reach my soul, devouring me while I become a whimpering mess beneath him.“Oh, yes!” The sounds of my screams seem to spur him on. He continues to toy with my nub while sucking. I lose control when Nathan thrusts a finger inside me. I gasp before I see stars, experiencing an earth-shattering orgasm that courses through my body. I shatter beneath him.In a daze, I watch as he raises himself above me. His cock rests against my stomach as I start to recover from the mind-blowing state. Nathan lifts his gaze, searching my face before his eyes fall to my lips. He settles between my thighs, and my legs instinctively encircle his hips. His lips brush along my shoulder as he begin
Look at you. I gave you everything, and this is how you repay me? By being that idiotic errand boy's whore?" He words make me flinch. I want to tell him that he gave me nothing. These are moments when I desperately wish my mother was still alive. Perhaps then, I wouldn’t be trapped with this despicable man who claims to be my father."I'll kill him," he declares, turning to leave. Instantly, I know he’s heading to the basement to get his shotgun.Without hesitation, I rush to stand in his way, blocking his path. I fall to my knees and clasp my hands together in front of me."Please, don’t hurt him. I'll do anything you want. Just leave him alone. It's not his fault, I made him do whatever you think he has done." I plead. My father’s furious gaze pierces through me, filled with pure hatred."I wish you were never born," he sneers, causing me to tense up."Please," I whisper, my voice barely audible."Fine. I'll not allow you to be a cheap soothing like this. It's best if I find more su
“You’re here!” I say, heading toward it but stop when it’s Katy who appears.“You!” she hisses. “I knew something was off. He didn’t kill you!”Before I can answer, she’s on me like a rabid cat. She claws at me, slapping every part of me she can make contact with.Startled, I raise my hands protectively over my face, afraid to hit her back and severely hurt her. As it is, Nathan already hates me for any part I might have played in the death of his father.The woman may be older and weaker, but her strikes are impactful. She shoves against me, slapping her palms against my shoulders and chest, driving me toward the rear of the deck. It all happens so fast that I don’t realize I’m so close to the glass rail until it hits my lower back.“You have to calm down!” I plead.“Why did he have to want you? You look nothing like me! But Leo always liked them younger. Tell me, did you like how he fucked you?”“What? You think I slept with your husb—” Another whack, this time right across the chin
But he saved my life. He risked himself to keep me alive. And fuck it all, I love him! I can’t just sit back and let him die.A chair is pushed and the sound of footsteps come my way. Before they reach the doors, I bolt out the entrance and am already across the street when I hear, “Natalia !”But I don’t stop. Don’t look back. My mission now is to save Nathan Natalia Irun like the Devil is at my heels, not bothering to glance back over my shoulder, because even that simple action could cost me precious seconds.For blocks, I maintain that speed, my lungs burning and the stitch on my side threatening to bring me down.When I’m far enough that I feel anyone following would have lost sight of me, I tuck myself into an alley and wait. After several minutes, I tug my cell phone out and dial Nathan , but it goes straight to voicemail.“Pick up, dammit!” I dial again, but like before, it goes to his mail.“Nathan . You have to leave your house. A man named Steven Kroos is coming. He’s bri
“The hell it is. Do you have any idea the worry you put me through? No calls or texts the last couple of—” His eyes bulge from his skull as he takes in the blood on my shirt. “You’re hurt.” “No, Dad. It’s not my blood. I’m not hurt.” He digs his fingertips into the corners of his eyes as if he’s trying to keep from crying. “I thought I would lose my mind when I found out exactly who you were with. His name isn’t Nathan Manguire . It’s Nathan Carlos .” I rear back in shock that he knows. “What?” “My gut was right, Em. He’s a fucking criminal. The worst kind.” “How do you know that?” From the study, the handsome man who visited the gallery to meet with Dad steps out. Steven Kroos . His icy-blue stare roves over me, and he smiles. “I’m glad to see you’re home safe. Especially after being in the Robertson den.” “Mr. Kroos is the one who tracked down information on Carlos . Nathan is their new godfather.” His eyes narrow on me. “But you already knew that, didn’t you?” Looking betwee
He tilts his head, his eyes raking over my face, searching. “What makes you think that?” “It was in the way he looked at me,” I say. “It’s the same wayyoulook at me. I know you said he loved your stepmother, but I swear it’s true.” “I saidsheloved him. I never said he loved her back.” He glances out the windshield, his hands tightening on the steering wheel. “Is that why you killed him? You didn’t appreciate his attentions?” “He came to the house when my father wasn’t there. I’m not even sure how he got in. But he followed me from room to room and begged me to give him a chance. I asked him to leave, told him that he was scaring me. He decided to grab me and try to kiss me. “I got out of his hold and ran to the desk drawer my father keeps his Glock in and threatened him. He still refused to leave. The moment he took a step toward me, I shot. It was meant to scare him, nothing more. I could never kill anyone. The bullet grazed his arm, but he was alive.” “You didn’t follow him out?
“You cut yourself,” I say. “It wouldn’t have been believable otherwise.” “Why did you do it, Nathan ? Why did you spare my life?” He pulls over several blocks from my house. We sit there in silence for what seems like forever, the only sound the pitter-patter of scattered rain against the windshield. “Why did you save me?” I repeat the question that’s been burning in my mind. “Your mother wants me dead, but you saved me.” Without turning to me, he replies, “Iwanted you dead.” His response is another blow to my already battered heart. But he deserves the truth. “I didn’t kill your father, Nathan . It wasn’t me.” Now he does turn to me and I almost wish he hadn’t. The shadows I’ve wondered about from the start have emerged and they’re darker and more terrifying than I could have imagined. They’re blackened with Nathan ’s fury, hate, grief, and confusion. They tear at my chest, splaying it open. Raw pain fills me at the sight of those beautiful golden eyes looking so tortured, spa
My gaze flicks from her to the elevator and to the rooftop access door, wondering if I could somehow reach either of them. And if I did, are they unlocked? As if from out of thin air, Nathan produces a piece of rope. When he tries to take one of my wrists, I make to get up again, but I’m slammed into the damned chair again. It doesn’t matter how much I fight, he easily pulls my hands behind me and ties them. “You wanted her, there she is,” he says to her, and I notice with at least a bit of satisfaction that he’s panting. I guess I wasn’t that easy to subdue. Nathan ’s stepmother comes toward me, her hips swaying. She sips her wine as she studies me. “You killed my husband.” I don’t bother to respond to her comment. She doesn’t care what I have to say. If she did, she would have asked me if I did it. And if so, why. All she cares about is revenge. The who, what, and why of it doesn’t matter to her. Turning to Nathan , I realize he’s not once asked me either. They’re the same. Part
“Mmm. Is it that or that you have Natalia Kane in your bed?”I stiffen, feeling my heart leap into my throat. She knows my name?“Who I have in my bed is none of your concern,” Nathan says.“It is when that whore killed your father! That’s right,” she adds, “I know it was her.”My heart isn’t just in my throat anymore. It seems to have stopped. Suddenly, my blood pressure drops and every pore in my body releases sweat.“John ” I hear Nathan murmur just as I pull away.There’s walking, the sound of heels clacking against the wood floors. “John was loyal to Gustavo and Leo . Of course he would be loyal to me as well.”“Then he’s useless to me,” he says.“You’ve known it was her for days and have done nothing about it!” she shouts.“It is at my discretion to decide what and when I will do something, Katy .”“The godfather only has power so long as the men respect him. How do you think they will react when they find out that instead of killing her, you’ve been fucking her?”My mind racin
Or maybe I’ll just fuck you until we both die.” Her eyes fly open, and for a moment, there are no walls between us. The pain, betrayal, and lust are bared fully. “Then fuck me,” she finally says. “And maybe we’ll die together.” My mouth is on hers then. I slide my fingers from her cunt and we both work savagely at getting rid of my clothes. All the while, we kiss with a passion that only the dying know. The instant I’m naked, I’m inside her, thrusting, burying my dick all the way to the balls, pulling back out, and slamming home again. Natalia is wrapped around me, arms and legs holding me tightly against her as she lifts her hips up, meeting each of my thrusts. We fuck like we’re drowning and these are our last gasping breaths. Deep and desperate. She fits me like a fucking glove, her pussy tight around my dick, her body molding to mine perfectly. The way she tastes, smells, feels… It all fits me like no one else ever has, and for the briefest of moments, I almost wish I’d neve
I flip it open and freeze, focused intensely on the drawing of a pair of eyes.Myeyes. Only, they’re not the way I’m accustomed to seeing them. They have the same shape, same dark spots on the irises. There’s a deep crease between them. But in the drawing, they’re slightly upturned and crinkled at the edges, and there’s a slight gleam to them, as if I’m smiling.Because I was.Several times, she called my name, grinning so widely when I looked at her that I couldn’t help but smile. She captured those moments.Does light penetrate shadows, or do the shadows drown out the light?I asked that question not long ago. The answer is both. She’s managed to light up my eyes while I’ve filled hers with darkness.Blowing out a breath full of exhaustion, I set the sketch aside. Tired, I shut my lids and must drift off instantly, because a bolt of lightning that rumbles even through the sound barriers I’ve erected around the loft wakes me. Instantly, I glance at the door.Though she has access to w
