He knows.....
William pov
Getting home I saw the package Nathaniel was talking about. I opened it and it was a picture of I and Jade on our first date. On top was written: I know your secret.
Shit! He knows! Is that why he is intentionally keeping Jade around? To hurt us? Does he know that I was the one who drove the car?
I didn't waste anytime, I rushed to my former work place to check the case again. Was he at the scene? If he was why didn't he say anything?
I asked the police man that was in charge of the case if he saw another eye witness.
" Four years ago the case of hit and run of miss June. At that time, by chance, was there another eye witness?"
" Well all investigation reports at that time, we turned it over to the prosecutors. But anyways the hit and run from 4 years ago, why.... The hit and
.......... William pov " Even though they'll continue with the investigation, the prosecution won't be able to attack openly. However, it'll behoove us to be more careful of incidents that may cause rumors to fly." I explained to Mr King. " Rumors?" He asked. " The thing that represents the most danger to k group isn't the prosecution but Mr Nathaniel king." I said. " Mr William" his right hand man called my name. Mr King used his hand to shut him up. " Keep talking." He says to me. " The opinion of boards of directors about Mr Nathaniel king isn't all friendly. The deteriorating hotel operation has already surfaced, and there is a limit to what Elizabeth Stark can block. They know best about your deteriorating health, chairman...." Once again his right hand man interrupted me.
.......... Third person pov The next day, because of the rumors being spread around about Nathaniel not being a capable president for the hotel, Elizabeth herself arranged a meeting to rid him of his position. The majorities which carried the vote was to dismiss him of his position, of course she was the first to vote. She had to get revenge for him hurting her at the party. " I put you next to Nathaniel in order for you to take care of him." Mr King slapped Jesse. " What were you doing? And what have you been doing to result in this kind of mishap?" Mr King asked referring to the dismissal of Nathaniel being in charge of the hotel. " I'm sorry" was what Jesse could say. " If you say sorry.....does it result to anything?" " Stop father." Nathaniel barged into the office. " It happened while he
Tough... Third person pov Everything didn't seem to work out for Jade, each job she gets to find, her record of being an ex convict gets her fired once she was found out. So she seeked help from William which he was gladly ready to offer. He gave her the amount of money she needed to repay her debt. Jade collected it and thanked him for it, transfered the money to Nathaniel's account and left the city. " do you regret pushing Nathaniel out of his position?" William asked Elizabeth. " If I knew I will regret it why would I start in the first place." She said. " Why did you go that far?" Willam ask her. " Nathaniel... because he has too much, it seems that he couldn't see me next to him." She replied. " If you keep Nathaniel next to you, will you be satisfied?" Willam asked. " Even if I
How could he?.... Jade's POV Any time I get troubled, I hug my dad's jacket that I bought for him, just to feel his presence. This time I ended up putting my hand in the pocket of the jacket. Thing we're inside. Some old candy and a washed out receipt. But I could still make up the words. It was the date of the day he died. I know the shop. I got up and went to my former neighborhood, the shop owner was already closing but I was quick to approach her. " Hey Genevieve." I greeted the woman. " Hi Jade. It's been so long. We didn't see you at all for a while, what are you doing here by this time of the night?" She asked. " This...this receipt is this places' right?" I showed her the paper. " Yes it's ours" she confirmed it. " This is my dad's jacket." I showed her the last ja
