Nathan’s POV
It’s our graduation day. I finally get to leave school and focus on the family businesses. I have so many plans to put into action.Trent’s group of companies are the best in all fields, but there are much that needs improvement, besides, I plan to branch out and build bigger branches in six different countries.I’ve got my cut out for me, I’ve got it all planned out already, I just can’t wait to jump right into it, which is why am super glad that we are finally graduating.I won’t need to split my time between school and work, I’ll focus completely on my work, and more importantly, I won’t need to share my space with these silly gold diggers that keep throwing themselves at me.Girls are so dumb and stupid!I simply can’t stand them. They would do anything to get to the top, I mean anything at all. I’ve seen many devious ways that they employ, just to achieve what they desire. One time, Travis had set me up with girl, getting me in trouble with the council. I had nearly lost all my inheritance to him if not for the timely intervention of my father.Travis is my cousin and rival in the family. His father had tried so hard to unseat my father and take the title as family head and heir to the companies but he never succeeded because my father was always smarter than him.Now he has passed on the trait to his only son Travis and he is now trying to unseat me. But just like his father, his plans always fails because I am always one step ahead of him. He nearly succeeded once and that was because I had been dragged by a stupid whore that he paid to blackmail me.He only succeeded in making me very wary of girls and hating them completely. It’s been more than three years ago that he had tried that to set me up with those whores, but it is still so fresh in my memory and I simply cannot bear the presence of any girl around me, they simply irritate me.I don’t go anywhere without my guards, they always keep the girls away from me. Some had tried to sneak past them a few times but when they got embarrassed and kicked out in public, it finally got stuck in their heads that no woman was allowed near me and they finally least to avoid me completely. They can stare and gawk at me as much as they liked, but they are never allowed to come close to me.It’s been the norm for year’s now, I always hear them whispering about me, claiming that I am gay but am not bothered about their meaningless gossips, as long as it keeps them away from me, am cool with it.We had just finished the main graduation ceremony, we were just heading into the reception hall. As usual, I was walking down with Edward and Carl, then all of a sudden, a girl walked towards us, or should I say towards me.I know her, I mean, I’ve seen her around. She’s one of the scholarship students that my mom’s organization is paying for. There are more than twenty of them in this school but they have no idea that their scholarship funds is coming from my family, and I intend to keep it that way.She is not one of the girls that throw themselves at me, in fact, she has never acted like I existed, which is why I had noticed her in the first place. She is more like a book worm and she keeps strictly to herself, only hanging out with her best friend who is also a beneficiary of my mom’s scholarship.I know she isn’t one of those gold diggers that throws themselves at me, that is why I signaled my guards to stand down as she approached me. I was thinking she had something to say to me or maybe she has a favor she wants to request from me so I stood still and let her approach me.To my greatest surprise, she locked her arms around my neck, pulling her curvy body so close to me that I felt my dick twitch for a woman for the very first time in my life. She rubbed her body against mine so seductively, then she stood on the tip of her toes and brought her lips forward, capturing my lips in hers as she kissed me so passionately, sucking on my lips and my tongue in a senseous manner, causing my dick to harden in my trousers.Damn!I have never felt this way before. No woman has ever made me feel this way. I couldn’t react in any way, my mind was telling me to push her away but my body was telling me to pull her more closer to me and kiss her so hard that her lips would be swollen for days to come.The whole school gathered around us, cheering and applauding her bravery but I didn’t care about them, I don’t even care about my reputation that she is just about to ruin, all I know is that I want this girl, I want her real bad, I must have her for myself, no matter what.I was just about to wrap my arms around her waist and deepen our kiss, then she suddenly broke it off, causing me to feel a warm sensation around my heart as I longed for her lips once more. Before I could pull her close to me, she turned around and ran away, making me feel cold and rejected.Why are girls so cunning and wicked? Why would she come to me when she knows that she doesn’t want anything to do with me. She just stole my heart away and she threw it on the floor and stumped on it.If only she knows that she is the only girl that has ever touched my heart. I have tried to avoid every girl that crosses my path, but not this one, not Hillary. She warms up my cold heart that has remained frozen for a very long time.I sent my guards to go after her and bring her back to me but the silly idiots just couldn’t find her. They kept going around in circles but she was nowhere to be found. It seems like she just vanished into thin air.After letting them search for some minutes, going around the school premises, I finally gave up and left the school angrily. The party no longer interests me anymore. I stormed out of the school premises, throwing away everything in my path, banging every door I passed, including the cars door.I couldn’t stop yelling at the guards, screaming at every little provocation. What the hell has this girl done to me? Why am I letting her get under my skin?For all I know she could be partying and making merry right now, and here I am getting worked up over her. Why is she affecting me so much, why does she have this much effect on me, how can I be acting so childish and skittish because of a kiss, just a kiss, a kiss that seem to have melted the ice around my cold heart.When I got home, I went right up to my room, thrashing everything I could lay my hand on. How could she do this to me? Why did she run away from me, did she suddenly hate me after that kiss?Gosh!I’ll never be able to get that moment out of my mind, it’s forever implanted in my memory and nothing can ever erase it, nothing at all.Still Nathan’s POVAs I sat on my bed thinking about my encounter with Hillary, the door to my room suddenly flung open, thereby interrupting my thoughts, and Ariel sauntered towards me, dressed in a black trench coat. I eyed her suspiciously as she came closer to me.“What the fuck are you doing here?” I asked her in a pissed tone. She is the last person I want to see right now. It’s bad enough that my parents are forcing her on me, now she is also throwing herself at me, it’s so fucking disgusting.She is a young heiress who can get any man she desires, I just don’t know why she is so set on having me. I’ve made it clear to everyone that I am not the least bit interested in her, but she just wouldn’t take no for an answer.I keep treating her like trash, trying to get her to give up on me, but she keeps coming back, sneaking into my room whenever am having a bad day, trying so hard to get me to sleep with he
Hillary’s POVWhen we arrived at OXBy’s, there was a very long queue to get in because this is the best club in the city. Luckily, we have VIP passes, which means that we don’t have to stay on the queue.We walked right up to the bouncer that’s standing outside the door and we presented our tickets. He receive it with a smile, then he moved aside and let us walk through the door.We giggled happily as we walked through the dimly lit hallway, with the music blasting loudly from the other side of the hallway. When we finally got to the heart of the club, I was dazzled by the whole set up of this nightclub.It was when they said that this club was only frequented by the wealthy class. Everything around us screams wealth and power. The owners must be filthy rich to have made this place look this amazing.Am sure that the drinks here would be worth a fortune, but I really don’t care because tonight, am going to have as much fun
Nathan’s POVI watched from the tinted glass window as she walked into the club, dressed in a blue dress that highlights all her beautiful curves, stopping just below her ass. Her dress has a little opening in the front that gives a good view of her cleavage.How did she get in here?The little allowances that moms charity organization gives to them is certainly not enough to get a regular ticket into OXBY’s, let alone a VIP pass.Oh right,I almost forget. My friends had handed free VIP pass to other graduating students. I guess I’ll have to thank them for creating an opportunity for me to see her again. I have been thinking so hard, trying to find a way to meet her once more, but I keep coming up empty.I had wanted to ask my moms secretary to help me search for her address but I thought against it because it would certainly raise a lot of questions from mom, besides, I can’t just show up at her house unexpectedly. I&rsqu
Hillary's POVIt all started right there in the middle of the dance floor, he kissed me so fiercely as we made out passionately on the dance floor. I've never felt such electrifying intensity before. For the first time in my life, I felt desired.I've imagined being in his arms since I discovered my feelings for him. I've dreamt about him every day and night, but being in his arms right now is way better than anything I've ever dreamt of, it felt magical. The world seems to have stopped turning and time itself froze, along with everyone else at this party. Only the two of us existed in this magical world that we have just createdI wrapped my arms around his neck as he lifted me off the floor, carrying me to straddle his hips, then he backed me up against a wall, kissing me as his life depended on it, breaking briefly just to catch our breaths. He stared at me like a predator watching his prey while I gazed into his eyes, with so much love and affection. Our eye
Still Hillary's POVHe offered to clean me up and I let him do it because I was so exhausted."I felt sore all over"He laid me in the bathtub and cleaned me up so gently. After cleaning me up, he ran a quick bath for himself before wiping me dry and carrying me back to the bed. I noticed that the soiled mattress has been changed and a soft and comfy bedspread has been laid on the bed. "I made a mental note to thank the house keeper before I leave."He walked to his closet and got a shirt and a boxer. He puts on the boxers and handed his shirt to me.He had this smile on his face that wouldn't just go away and he kept looking at me in a strange way and I wondered what was going through his mind. He helped me put on his shirt and climbed in next to me and pulled me into his arms. I dared to look up at him and found him staring at me in a tender way which gives me goosebumps all over my body. I've always wanted him to look at me this way, It's been my gr
Ariel's POVI was woken up by the sound of my phone ringing tone, I stretched my hand and reached for my phone, putting it in my ear without checking who the caller was."What?" I yelled into the receiver, not caring who the caller was."Sorry for bothering you ma'am, I thought you would want to hear this." Tony, my head of security spoke through the receiver, sounding skeptical."This had better be good Tony," I warned him sternly. He knows better than to bother me at this late hour."I just got information that your fiance was spotted at OXBY's with a woman." He said in his usual raspy, businesslike tone that leave no room for skepticism. I jerked up from the bed immediately, looking perturbed and astonished."What the fuck are you talking about Tony? Nathan has never been seen with a woman, he is Alexithymic for fucks sake." I yelled at the receiver, sounding so furious as I thought of the implications of this new inform
Nathan's POVGUILTY!!!That's how I feel right now. "I feel as guilty as hell"I mean, What the hell did I just do??How could take a lady innocence on our first day together?That’s so bad!I waited for her to fall asleep, then I’m open my drawer and brought out a pack of my favorite Treasurer cigarette. I got my lighter from the dresser before walking out through the door that leads to my balcony. I have a good view of the city from my balcony and I always love the sight. I stood there and enjoyed the beautiful view while I took out a stick of cigarette and lit it. I’m not a big fan of smoking, but right now, I think I really need it to calm my nerves because I’m slowly going insane. I never knew sex could be so amazing, so terrific. Hillary Futon just made me feel like I’m on top of the world.I've always seen her hanging around with some of her friends. She doesn’t party around or indulge herself in any of the fun games in school, she is more like a book wor
Hillary’s POV“Are you Jealous?” he asked me with a playful smile playing at the edge of his lips and I scrunch up my face in disgust.“No, I’m not, why the hell would I be? I just don’t want to be seen wearing another lady’s cloth, it’s so disgusting, and annoying.” I said dismissively, trying to hide my jealousy that is running wild.“Yeah, sure.” He nods in mock understanding and I glare at him in return, earning me one of his cute smiles that ways makes my head spin in admiration and love.“Not to worry, my love, there is no other woman in my life right now, I mean, none that I care about.”“How about the ones you don’t care about, did you get these clothes from one of them?” I asked back. Wait, why am I even asking all these questions?Surprisingly, he answers with a warm smile. “No love, I did not get these from any girl and I don’t go aroun
Hillary’s POVTwo months…It’s been two months already, I’ve been waiting to wake up from this beautiful dream, I keep thinking that I would be woken by my friends or my kids and they would tell me that I have been dreaming all along. But I was wrong, it isn’t a dream, it’s all true. Nathan is back and he is here to stay. It took me a while to come to terms with this new life, I know I’ve always wanted him to come back to me, but I just wasn’t prepared to have him back. Then again, the way he had found me with another man had nearly driven me insane, I nearly destroyed our future because I thought he would never want me again. I blame myself for listening to my friends, I blamed my friends for pushing me so hard, and then I blamed him as well for being away for so long and for coming back when I was ready to move on with my life. Trust me, the blame was enough to go around, I was just too angry and sad, I could never have thought that Nathan would still want me back in his life. I had
Still Nathan’s POVI knew the exact moment that Hillary set her eyes on me, her eyes widened in absolute shock when her eyes met mine and she abandoned their luggage and dragged the kids out of the reception hall, dragging them back to the car. She knew she had been caught trying to escape and she knows that there is no way out of this, yet she ran. She ran as fast as possible, dragging along our kids who wouldn’t stop crying because they thought they were in danger. I’m pissed off at her for trying to make a fool out of me, I’m so angry at her for putting my kids through all this heartache, making me look like an evil villain in front of my kids. All this rubbish must come to an end today, one way or another, I’m going to set everything right.I have already positioned some guards by her car, they were to make sure that she doesn’t get into the car and try to escape again. Avril stood by the car waiting for her as well, I gave her a job as well, I’m sure she can handle the kids for a
Nathan’s POVOne week and two days…That’s how long I’ve been in Paris. Hillary has refused to see my face or hear anything I have to say. She stays holed up in the house with her kids, our kids. I keep coming back to that apartment, every fucking day, but it’s all to no avail. If she is alone in the house, she won’t even open the door for me but if the others are there as well, they will grant me access into the living room, but Hillary will not be seen anywhere around the house, she locks herself in the room with the kids and she stays in there with them until I get tired of knocking on the door and leave the house. It’s getting more and more hilarious every fucking day. I mean, we aren’t kids, are we?We should be able to settle our differences without acting like a bunch of teenagers, but she just doesn’t want to believe the truth that is staring her right in the face, she still doesn’t want to believe that I am alive, she doesn’t want to have anything to do with me. But she fails
Nathan’s POVI’ve never felt so dejected in my whole life. She practically snatched my kids from my arms and ran the other way, going as fast as she could, trying to get them away from me. I’ve never been so confused in my whole life, I don’t know if I should go after her and try and stop her, I’m not even sure I can stop her because she is so fierce when it comes to the kids, she would never let me take them away from her especially now that she still thinks that I’m a ghost, besides, I do not want to send the wrong message to my kids, I don’t want them to see me as a bad person that is trying to hurt their mom. I watched her walking to the huge gate with her shoes that looks so bad that it was making her limp as she walked. The kids were trying to communicate with her, but she wasn’t listening to a word they were saying and it kinda hurt me because I don’t want them to be involved in this issue at all. It’s not their fault that we are going through such a bad breakup, they shouldn’t
Hillary’s POVI drove back home in anger going to confront Miguel. This time, he has really gone too far. He is not only playing games with me and sabotaging my relationship, but he is also joking with my sanity and this is where I draw the line. I don’t know how he did it, but I know that he did something to make that guy look exactly like Nathan and I won’t sit still and let him drive me insane, I won’t allow that. I drove at a terribly high speed, going above the normal speed limit, ignoring every red light I come across. I got home in record time, I jumped out of the car, then I imputed the security code and went into the house, “Miguel!!!” I yelled out in anger, shouting at the top of my voice.“Come down here you BASTARD!!!” I cried furiously as I ran up the stairs to search for him. I checked his room but he wasn’t there, I searched around the house, going into every room, searching the garage and kitchen, but I couldn’t find anyone in the house, it was completely empty. I sh
Still Nathan’s POV“First, you tried to steal my company and now I catch you trying to screw my wife. Mehn, you must really have a death wish Lawrence. Give me one reason why I should let you live, tell me why I shouldn’t put a bullet through your fucking skull, right now.” I asked him fiercely, pointing my gun to his head.“Y… Y… Wife?” He stammered out in confusion, looking like a lost little puppy.“I said to convince me not to put a hole in your fucking head, but all you come up with that stupid question?” I yelled in anger as I aimed at his shoulder and took a clean shot at him. I did not aim to kill him, I just want to see him in pain as he bleeds in front of me. He screams in pain as he applied pressure to his shoulder, trying to stop his bleeding.“You son of a bitch!” he cursed in pain as he pulled on the tablecloth and uses it to press on his shoulder.“I didn’t do anything, Mr. Trent. Your father made me buy those shares, I have no interest in your fucking company, I never
Nathan’s POVI thought I was going to travel to Paris the next day, that was the actual plan that I had, I wanted to retrieve the company’s shares from that French guy. But Ray got a call from the guy he sent to monitor him and it turns out that he has been informed of my return and he has gone into hiding. I’m sure he didn’t get that information from my dad because my father would never advise him to run like that. If he had gotten the information from my dad, he would not be trying to run away, No. Rather, he would have boarded the next flight to New York City and he would hand over those documents to me without thinking twice about it. I’m guessing he got the information from the guy he had sent over to the company. The guy must have told him about my sudden presence in the boardroom and how I ruined the bidding for the company today. I really don’t know what he told him and I really don’t care, but I know that he has been left his previous location and he is hiding out in an unkno
Hillary’s POVI gave him enough time to come clean, I wanted him to come to me and tell me why he has been trying so hard to separate Lawrence and I, but it seems like he has made up his mind, he has decided to sabotage my relationship at all cost and he chose not to tell me about it. It’s been eight months, I mean eight fucking months and he has been sneaking behind my back, screwing me over, sabotaging my relationship. At first, thought that he was just being protective of me, I know how he has tried so hard to protect me and the kids all this while. I know how he saved my life countless times and I actually talked myself into believing that he is doing all this to protect me, but I was wrong. He is not trying to protect me, no. He is simply trying to ruin my life and make me sad forever.He even delves into arson because of this. He went to Lawrence's house and he set fire to one side of his house, he even went to his company and did the same thing. That fire burnt down a considera
Miguel’s POVMy brother is playing a sick game with Nathan Trent and it’s giving me cause for concern. From what I can see, I can tell that Nathan is a good man who is looking to make a change in his family and in the society. This only makes me wonder why my brother would lie to him about his family and keep their location a secret to him. It is so damn hard to look at Hillary in the eyes and lie to her about her husband, for crying out loud, it is even harder to look at his kids every damn day when I know that I am the reason why they are growing up without a father.It is quite a mystery to see Raymond lying effortlessly to Nathan without second thoughts. I just don’t know why he would be risking this mission, I don’t know why he is trying to ruin it for everyone. We have worked so damn hard to get to where we are today, we have faced many obstacles and yet we came out strong and victorious. But with the way Raymond is handling this case, we may end up losing every damn thing that
