-I just went through a few things, I see it as normal," he shrugged, leaving the bags on the table. At that, his eyes shifted to my apartment. I felt a little sorry for him because it sure wasn't a big deal. I imagine Nate would have a super big mansion with lots of employees. This wouldn't even serve as a closet. -I like your apartment," he says, "It's all rustic, comfortable and cozy," he smiled sideways.-You don't have to pretend," I made it clear.He looked at me with a frown.-I'm telling you the truth, I like it.-If you say so... -I shrugged. Sometimes my "if you say so" meant "I don't believe you".-It's the truth. I brought some fast food, a little bit of everything. There's a family pizza, two burgers and fries, I also brought juices. I didn't know what flavor you preferred so I brought some," he showed me the juice bottles, "I brought a bag of popcorn and a few movies for us to watch," he had three discs with some movies on them.-What are they about? -I took them.-Well,
TWO WEEKS LATERNATEThings were going as I had planned, the economic situation in my company was the best, profits and good business were definitely my thing, but there was something more important than that and it was the girl that has captivated my heart, that girl that when I see her shakes all my ground. I had never felt a feeling like the one I feel for Beth, it was something pure and sincere, but there is something that makes me uncomfortable, on one hand I feel that something happens to her every time she sees Nick and that makes me very angry, on the other hand there is that damn document I made with that fool Nick, I bet if she realized what we did she would blow us both away for the way we were playing with her, but I didn't count at the beginning that I would fall in love with her, but well, I'm done and I'm winning. What's done is done and I'm winning that bet.-Young Nate- there was a knock at the door, it was my butler Alfred- I wanted to ask you if you are going to ord
Hours later Grace was gone and Nate was waiting for me downstairs. I felt weird dressed all fancy, it wasn't my style. But it was a very important event and I had to look presentable. Plus my boss would be there and I don't know how he would act or what. I just hoped he would go alone. At least. When I got off, Nate was waiting for me next to his brand new car, but this time he was bringing a driver.When Nate saw me his gaze ran over me from head to toe, I felt a little uncomfortable and nervous because I didn't like being stared at.-Elizabeth, you look beautiful," he complimented me, approaching me and taking me by the waist.-Thank you.-I'm very serious, Elizabeth, I made a good choice with the dress. It looks amazing on you.-Thank you for that, by the way. You shouldn't have bothered. How much did it cost you? I can pay you back...Nate laughed.-For God's sake, Elizabeth... -The driver opened the back seat door for us.-What? -I gave him a dirty look as I got in, "You don't th
-Please get out of here, I mean it," she grabbed her hair to such an extent that her hair was disheveled, "damn it, but I'm starting to hate my life, I'm starting to hate everyone-her tears kept falling, it was obvious how bad she was having a bad time.-I tried to calm him down, it really hurt me to see Nick in that state, nobody deserves to be unhappy in the things he likes the most-it's just a prize rhythm, we both know that you work hard and that the work you have been doing all this time is good, not because you haven't been rewarded makes you less, look at me-I cradled his face putting it in front of mine, take a deep breath, Beth, you have to make him feel supported, enough of so much pain knowing that you want it-you have me!-I didn't know what I was doing, but this time I had to get what was in my heart out. Having this contained all the time was killing me.-What are you talking about?" he frowned puzzled at what I had said, but at least he had calmed down to ask me, "What d
Nate ended the call so I looked at him suspiciously, at first I had been very struck by the way he treated them. I thought that they respected them, but I could see that they didn't. Secondly, the thing that had caught my attention was that the product hadn't arrived complete. Secondly, the thing that had caught my attention was that the product had not arrived complete. What did he mean? That didn't give me that much of a bad impression because it's their stuff plus it's their job, I guess. I thought the boss was Nate, yes. So there's a boss above the two of them?-What do you think? -he asked me, looking nervous. His tie was unbuttoned.-Nothing," I answered, trying to assimilate what the guy had said. What had worried me was about Nicholas' life, he said it was in danger. That did interest me. -Why did he say Nicholas' life was in danger? -I looked at him.-It's nothing important, that's how we usually treat each other as businessmen. When perhaps we don't comply with something, th
I took a cab as usual, but first I took a sidelong glance at the car that was there, you couldn't see anything because of the tinted windows, but I had never seen Nate or Nivk have a car like this.-Please take me to Miller's company," I ordered the driver while my eyes were still on the car, but well I guess it must be someone who also lives nearby.The cab had started and we had been driving for maybe ten minutes, I checked the inside of my bag making sure I didn't leave anything behind, sleeplessness was a key factor for me not to be well for the rest of the day so today it would be a challenge to be on my feet.I craned my neck back and to my surprise the car I had seen outside the building was also coming up behind me. That is if I looked at it even more suspiciously.-Please pick up the pace," I tapped the driver's shoulder as I continued to turn my neck backwards, "I'm running a little late and my boss will be very angry.Immediately the driver accelerated even more, turning th
The guys handed me over to the boss, who grabbed me by the hair and made me get into a boat.-Let go of me, asshole! -I wanted to get away, but it was useless. My scalp was already starting to hurt. I heard some gunshots that made me turn to where Nick and Nate were, I was so afraid for them. Afraid that they would do something to them or hurt them.-Come on, get in! -The boss pushed me, making me fall to my knees inside the boat. He then got in with two more men who held my arms.-Beth! -I heard Nick call me, I looked down the dock and there he was running towards me, other guys were behind.-Nick! -I started to yell at him but one of the guys covered my mouth.-Beth! -I was so close.The boss started the boat, pulling us away from the dock. I tried to break free and tried to scream but I couldn't. Tears rolled down my cheeks. Tears rolled down my cheeks. I was afraid. Afraid because I didn't know what would happen to me. Afraid of these guys.In the distance I saw Nick jump into the
It was very dark, I could hardly see the palm of my hand and those guys were coming after me, the worst thing was that I was running without any special direction, I just knew I had to run away from those guys no matter what.There were dry leaves and many branches, I dodged everything in front of me, the surface was uneven, so much so that I had to run barefoot. I kept running as much as I could, but my strength was also running out.In an unexpected movement I tripped over something and started to roll downhill, colliding with everything in front of me, I could even feel my ribs colliding with a very thick branch which made me change direction. I kept rolling until I fell to the bank of a kind of stream.My body was sore, I touched my side and felt a strong pain, most likely I had a fracture or something like that, but at least I could no longer hear the voices of those guys coming after me. I had to move from the spot, knowing those people for sure they would come for me.I got bac
