Chapter 31

Penthouse

Nathan held his gaze up as the kitchen became as quiet as a graveyard.

The maids bowed their heads in respect and stood still in obeisance.

" What do you think you're doing?" he yelled again and his voice echoed through the walls of the house.

Goodness!! That look in his eyes.

Phew!!

" Honey..." Tracy was going to say but he made her keep shut.

" I want to hear from you," Mr Martins turned to his son and said.

" I don't think I have anything I want to say to you" Nathan said spitefully.

" You think so?" Mr Martins asked.

" You dare to disrespect your mom and you think you don't have..."

" Seems you're forgetting something; she's not my mother" Nathan grunted.

Mr Martin's eyes sparked with emotions which he quickly hid.

" How dare you?" he asked.

A scene was about to unfold and it wasn't gonna look pleasant.

" I should be asking you that. How dare you question me instead of reprimanding your wife and daughter " Nathan fired back, and a hot slap landed on his cheek
