Nate's POV

After I told Isabella to leave and she'd left, there was some sort of emptiness and loneliness I felt within my spirit.

There's more to this feeling and I'll make sure to know what this is.

Not long I heard a knock on the door, and then two of my men entered. Andrew and Damien

Boss, we've got news, Damien spoke up,

We heard that the contract for the building project is going to be assigned to another company.

My guy, Ten, discovered that there was an inside job and there was someone else pulling the strings.

He said, he heard them discuss our plans and procedures for the project but they said something like we weren't capable enough to get the job done.

    Nate's POV.I said I liked her without looking at her.Oh my, did I just say that without thinking?I just told Isabella I liked her to her face.Something must be wrong with me, no, something is wrong with me.Why would I even do that?When I eventually looked at her, I only found her staring at me like she didn't understand a word I said.Huh… you said what?She asked me.I said I like you, Isabella, I like you.I found myself repeating the words to her.What do you mean you like me, you know nothing about me.I'm in a mess already, no, I'm even a mess myself, you can't just add to my trouble, please.I can't handle it, I'm tired, stressed out and frustrated as it is.Before I knew what was happening she was already crying, I was so worried people might hear us and come out of their respective rooms to find me and Isabella in this awkward position.They might think I've done something to her because she was crying so much.

    Isabella's POVI was there lost, staring at this beautiful sight before me.Irrespective of the scars on his body, he is no doubt a fine man.He has a broad chest and chiselled abs and I must say this is the first time I'm taking a good look at him.His face was well contoured, with well-groomed beards, and a light chocolate skin tone. He is divine.There's absolutely no doubt that God took extra time to create this wonderful masterpiece.I said what are you doing here and how did you even get in?I came back to life from the unholy thoughts I was having as I heard him speak to me.Uhm… the door was not locked and, I only turned the door knob and it opened so I entered.I'm so sorry, I didn't know you were in here, I didn't hear a sound when I came in to clean so I believed no one was in.I was so ashamed of myself to even look at him.I knew he saw me drooling over his body.I said all this in a hurry as I was trying to pack up and leave the room.Nate's POVI was startled when I cam

She said I didn't need to feel sorry for her anymore because she had gone past it.That's reliving, she's healed now I guess. I hugged her and She smiled at me and left. I stood up too and went to my room.I wasn't comfortable in the room, it was hot and very uncomfortable. I was also bored to my bones.

The knock came again, even louder this time, then Nate eventually answered.He went to the door then he blocked the other person from coming in or seeing inside. I smiled at the consideration as he thought of me when he did this.It was Damien who was at the door and the way he was speaking to Nate it seemed as though the matter was urgent.I heard him say they should go outside the house to discuss the issue. I was sure he did this for me to have space to leave the study without being seen.I left the study after a few minutes, I opened the door gently so it didn't make any sound then tiptoed to my room.I was glad I made it to my room without being caught by anyone.Nate's POVAs
