Nate’s POV I did my tie up carefully, making sure not to have a wrinkle in it, and I scrunch my nose up a little and scoffed a little as I realized that I had been doing it with a little too much ficus that was necessary. I turned around and reached for my wrist watch on the bed and clicked it on my left wrist after a few seconds. My hair was almost completely dried off and it had managed to dry up in a really good way. I was taking extra care to get ready tonight when I really shouldn’t, because for one, I wasn’t going to the damn dinner because I wanted to, but because I’m being forced and blackmailed into going, or risk losing my inheritance in an instant. I reached down for my suit jacket, putting it on and inserting my arms into both holes almost immediately.Once I was done dressing up, I stood before the floor length mirror in here and took a good look at myself, the suit fitted my body well and made it seem like my shoulders were even more broader than it is on a normal
Nate’s POV I pushed the door of the car open and stepped out almost immediately, cradling the bag holding the bottle of wine and the hunch of flowers in my other hand as I pushed the door close and locked it before pocketing the keys. They had invited me to their home like my father had suggested, and I was feeling a lot of things as I stood beside my car and raked my whole gaze over the whole house, and it was then that I came to the conclusion that I didn’t know who loved a more extravagant life between this man, and my father back at home.Knowing I had wasted more than enough time and also having it at the back of my mind that I had managed to arrive here late, which sure as hell wouldn’t leave a second good impression this time. With a small sigh falling out of my mouth, I started to make my way towards the small row of stairs that would lead me to the entrance of their house that aaa really damn big.I rang the bell once and politely waited, knowing someone was going
Nate’s POV I didn’t lift up from my spot on the couch after the msn had left the dining room with me being the only one left in it, because I didn’t really want to get a thing into my stomach and most definitely wasn’t looking towards the said dinner tonight. I instead drew out my phone from my pants and started to text my dad instantly.It’s been long since we texted and I mostly ended up ignoring his texts than replying to him, because he’s such a pain in the ass to be very honest. I shook my head a little as I started to type out a text to Jim, ignoring the amount of messages I had met in the inbox before I had clicked on it.He replied after a few seconds, and I had a feeling he’d feel really ecstatic that I was texting him tonight, to think I was only doing it because I needed help with something, if I had no other use for testing him.Dad - Nate, you texted?His reply came in and I rolled my eyes a little as my eyes quickly scanned over it, and I started to type in a r
Nate’s POV “So, Marie, would you like to tell Nate a little thing about yourself?” Her father said in a val voice in the midst of dinner, I meant after we’ve spent almost one hour around the dining table, with them actually eating their food and me fiddling with my cutleries and barely eating a thing. At this point, I was sure that Marie’s brother, Jack, wasn’t going to be coming to the said dinner tonight, which made me relax a little. I could remember asking Marie about it immediately after we’ve both sat down around where her dad had assigned us to.“Uh, we’re about to start dinner right now, aren’t wel?” I had asked in a low voice and Marie had turned around to stare at me instantly, get hair framing her face in a really cute way, and she started to shake her head at me in response to me.“No, he wouldn’t.” She replied and a quiet ‘oh’ had slipped out from my lips before I even realized it.“Yeah.” She breathed out after that and paused for a few moments before continuing. “Dad i
Nate’s POV I lightly mouthed the lyrics that was playing from my phone that was connected to my car’s Bluetooth. It had been a few minutes since I left Mr Scott's apartment and the unease was starting to finally settle down in my stomach, which I was realy glad about. I didn’t try to exchange numbers with Marie and I was glad she didn’t try to get my contact as well, I have no reason to speak to her again because I honestly do not want to give her any kind of ideas like I was starting to get into her or something. I dragged my hand over my face and started to massage my forehead once again, dragging my thumbs over the pulse around my head, using a firm touch to rub into those spots until the pounding in those spots in my head slowly reducer into a low hum.I breathed out a slow sigh as I turned into a corner swiftly before continuing to drive forward, after a little while, something quickly popped into my head, making me curse a little as I started to fish for my phone from where I h
Nate’s POV I made my way out of my car once I had driven into the apartment’s compound and had parked my car in my usual spot in the garage, alongside some other cars. I had two cars here in the garage. It was the rule of the house that you can’t have more than two of your cars parked in here: and so if you’re one of those people that usually own more than that, you’re to find where to put the rest of your cars in, or you can just decide not to rent the apartment to begin with– it’s really as simple as that. I made my way into the lobby and into the elevator as fast as I could. My legs were starting to hurt and my headache had thankfully reduced, which I was thankful about, but then my stomach was starting to churn, and I knew it was because of the fact that I haven’t had dinner this evening yet.I glanced down at my wrist once the elevator had started to move up the floors and saw that it was almost a few minutes before the time moved to past eleven. I carded my fingers th
Nate’s POV “Do we honestly have to do this?” I asked my father in an exasperated tone as I shook my head at him a little. He didn’t even bother to pretend to be fazed by my movement as he slowly gave a nod of his head, right before he carried on with speaking loudly like I hadn’t just spoken up. It was a Monday morning, three days after I had go over to my dad’s friends house to go have dinner with him and his daughter, Marie, and here I was at my dad’s office on a Monday morning, with my immediate cousin sitting on the second chair beside the one I was currently sitting in, and our eyes were both focused on my dad who was standing on the other side of the table.“So, since they were the ones to come here that time and couldn’t even start the damn meeting because Nsth chooses to ruin it before it even started by walking out on all of us, we’re the ones that are going to go over to their company today in order to go get the contracts signed.” Father continued and I slumped down i
Nate’s POV “Nate, I don’t want you to take this personal –” He started to say but I turned sideways to stare at him as I started to breath out in a low voice.“Shut up, Eric.” I growled at him but he didn’t look like he was barely dazed by my words and only paused for a moment before starting to speak once again.“I really hope that you see sense from what I said to you instead of taking it personal.” He breathed out and I pushed out a small chuckle that wasn't funny one bit to my ears one bit as I started to speak. “Shut the fuck up.”“You’re still not getting what I was trying to say, this was exactly what I meant when I said –” He started to say once again but I shook my head and cut into what he was saying.“No, Eric, shut up. Just shut up, shut the hell up this instant.” I said to him in a low whisper, and of course, my father was going to choose that moment to interfere.“Nathaniel!” He said in a loud voice and I dragged my gaze off Eric’s face to turn back around until
