While the chaos was going on outside, Baxter was having his usual drink in front of the woman he had tied up, the smell of the cigarette made Bianca so uncomfortable and she was almost puking.The crusty man in front of her had a huge grin on his face, he loved the uncomfortable look on her face.“You want some?” He asked her.“Let me go, you bastard” Bianca hissed in anger, the thought of her five year old daughter walking alone on the streets made her almost mad. How could a grandfather do this to his own granddaughter?“Here” he pushed her cigarette towards her, “it will help you calm down a bit and make your death less painful, you know what I am saying right?”He was still talking when his door pushed open and a certain figure entered looking as angry as he could be. His clothes had patches of blood on it but he didn’t care, he was going to save her no matter what.“Nathan?” Bianca muttered under her breath, this was the last person she was expecting to see right now.The moment
Mrs Hernandez’s forehead creased into a frown when she saw the uniformed men that stormed her house. A look of confusion was hovering across her face as they made their way to the living room where she was seated.“How may I help you, gentlemen?” She asks, “I didn’t know you were come over”This was when her husband and daughter came into the living room when they heard the noise from downstairs.“Permit us for coming like this ma’am” the one who seemed to be their leader said, “but we have a warrant for your arrest”“What nonsense?” Ethan hissed, “how dare you?”“What do you mean?” Vanessa also chipped in.“We received a call from Nathan Hernandez and he is charging you for attempted murder”“What rubbish?” Louisa shot out of the chair, “what are you saying?” An angry look appeared on her face, “why will Nathan even do that in the first place?”“Please let us do our job ma’am” he advised, “you can speak to him when we get to the station”“You can not take her away like that” Ethan wa
Mrs Hernandez was led into the room and the moment her eye settled on Nathan, her countenance changed and she rolled her eyes. How dare he come to her?“You sure have some nerves to show your face here, Nathan” she hissed while lowering herself on the chair in front of him.“I have not come here to exchange words with you Mrs Hernandez” he didn’t even want to smile at all, he was here on a serious note and taking things lightly was not good for him at this point.“You sure have some nerves boy” the old lady gritted her teeth, “I am your mother”“Did you send Audrey's father to hurt her?” He went straight to the point and a look of confusion flashed through her face for a moment before reality struck her, she finally understood where this was going.“What nonsense are you saying now, Hernandez?”m“I will only ask once, mother” Nathan was already losing his cool, “did you have Baxter attack her?”“And what makes you think it is me? For all I can tell, that bitch has a lot of enemies”“N
Dressed in a blue handmaid suit and his hair slicked back beautifully, Nathan sauntered into the room looking all angry and pissed. This was already three days after Audrey was shot and she was still in the hospital while Baxter had already regained consciousness and was seated in the interrogation room right now.The information Nathan had asked Bruno to get for him really pissed him off, Vanessa has been in touch with her father more frequently than usual.“Mr Hernandez” the chief extended his hand for a shake, “we have been waiting for you”“Has he said anything yet?” The big boss went straight to the point.“Unfortunately no, we are still trying to get the information out of him. The old man is as tight lipped as anything”“Can you give us a moment?”“Of course sir”After the chief was out of the room, he pulled out a chair and lowered himself on it before crossing one leg over another.“You should start talking Baxter” he hissed, “who gave you the order?”The old man’s lips curle
After opening her eyes, it was the voice of the two men that filtered into her ears and Bianca heaved a sigh, Nathan always caused trouble wherever he went.“I don’t think you should be here” she forced herself to say and the two of them turned their attention to her.“Bianca” Xavier rushed towards her, “how do you feel? Should I call the doctor? Do you feel any pain or….”“Why are you here, Nathan?” She asked him, “I warned you to stay away from me, right?”“I just wanted to make sure you were fine, Audrey” the big boss answered, “I didn’t want anything else to happen to you”Bianca heaved a sigh as she tried to sit up but stopped herself, Paige was still sleeping peacefully in her arms and she didn’t want to wake her up.“I will take her” Xavier made to gather the sleeping girl in his hand but Bianca halted him.“Don’t worry, xav. Let her sleep” “Fine, I will call the doctor”“Okay”After she nodded, he spared Nathan an angry glance before venturing out of the room leaving the two
Mr Hernandez just finished having a conversation over the phone with his lawyer when his door creaked open and Nathan ventured into the room in all his glory.Dressed in a pair of casual joggers and a T-shirt, he had his phone pressed against his ears while making his way to the bed.“I will talk to you later” Nathan said into the phone before removing it from his ears.“Can we talk?”“What about?” His father inquired, the two of them had not had a decent conversation since the day his mother was arrested. While one was busy trying to keep her there, the other was trying to get her out.The big boss heaved a sigh as he lowered himself on the bed and turned his attention to his old man.“Look dad” he began casually, “I know you are mad at me for what happened and I am not here to apologize for that” Mr Hernandez’s forehead creased into a frown but he didn’t say anything, he knew Nathan to be as stubborn as a mule.“Your wife openly threatened her on live television and a few days after
“Good morning ma’am” Amira greeted cheerfully as Bianca sauntered into the office looking as radiant as ever. Dressed in a pair of maxi skirt that reached below her knee and a white button up shirt which was neatly tucked away into the shirt, Bianca had her hair fall in ringlets beside her and she had a little clutch purse with her.Her recovery was so speedy, two days later she was already in the office.“Good morning Amira” she flashed her and other workers a smile, “what is my schedule like today?”“You really don’t have much work maam” Amira answered while following her towards the elevator, “Mr Xavier already cleared the schedule and you only have a meeting with the designers in a hours time then with the lawyer”“Okay, make sure they here on time, I won’t be staying till the close of work today”“Of course ma’am”After Amira returned to her seat, she began her work and this was when one of her colleagues walked up to her with a cup of coffee.“You seem really close to the boss M
“Here” Vanessa handed him the cup of coffee which made the big boss crease his forehead into a frown. He collected the cup but he didn’t drink it immediately. Rather he left it on the table and turned his attention back on her. One thing was for certain, this woman was in need of something.“What do you want, Nessa?” He asked her while closing his laptop, “I am very busy right now so you have to make it quick”“Can’t I even be nice to my husband?” The lady inquired with a pout as she lowered herself beside him, “I used to do all of this happily, remember? You changed and I also changed too, you even requested for a divorce. Have we drifted so far apart that you don’t even want to be close to me again?”“Cut to the chase, Nessa” he leaned forward with his eyes searching hers, “what exactly do you want?”“First off, keeping mum in prison is a very wrong thing to do. She is your mother and…..“Do you want me to keep you there too?” He hissed, “look Nessa, the only reason why my mother
The door to his office pushed open and she gently sauntered into the room. Xavier, who was busy with a document, immediately turned his attention to her and stood up. He didn’t flash her any smile as usual but part of him was happy to have her back.“Hey, you”“Aren’t you excited to see me?” Bianca asked him, her face also expressionless.“You are finally here” Xavier forced himself to say, “i actually thought you might not come back but here you are”“Are you upset?” Bianca couldn’t help but ask him as he came face to face with her, “why…“Why?” Xavier flared up while raking his hand through his hair, “how can you casually walk into my office and ask if I am upset B? Of course I am” he paused for a moment, his eyes not leaving hers for even a second,“ I am upset and it's all your fault. How could you just discard me after being with Nathan? Do I mean nothing to you at all?“I said we were going to talk about it when I get back, right?” She inquired, “and I am sorry okay? I was just v
Audrey was all set and ready to leave, she was just giving the finishing touches to her hair when her door pushed open and her aunt sauntered into the room with a smile on her face.“I can see you are all ready to leave?” She asked Bianca while lowering herself on the bed.“Yes aunt” she replied, “fashion week starts next week, I have to put the finishing touches to things”“Well” aunt Aurora shrugged, “your flight leaves in an hour, I was hoping you could spare me a few minutes. I want to discuss something with you, child”A small frown appeared on Bianca’s forehead, now she was wondering what her aunt wanted to talk about.“Of course aunt” she walked over to the bed and gently perched on it, “I am all ears”Aunt Aurora heaved a sigh before turning her full attention to Bianca, a look of pain and sadness looming in her eyes.“My dear” she began almost immediately, “don’t you think it is high time you forgive Nathan for what he did to you?”The frown on Bianca’s face intensified and s
The moment Nathan’s car came to a halt in front of the building, he immediately unbuttoned his suit before making his way towards the reception.This was one of the biggest hotels in New York and he was wondering why his blackmailer asked him to be here. Wasn’t this too exquisite?“Hello sir” the receptionist flashed him a smile, “welcome to sugar”“I am here to see Mr Stefan,” he answered.“One second” the lady muttered and began to type away on her system. After a few seconds, she looked up at him again with a smile on her lips.“Yes, he is expecting you. He is by the poolside”With one last nod, he made his way towards the pool and only one man was seated under a nice shade. Nathan knew he was the caller and didn’t waste time in walking toward him but he was immediately stopped by his guards, a gesture that made his forehead crease into a frown.“Let him go,” Stefan said from where he was seated.Rolling his eyes, the big boss walked up to him and he didn’t even bother to hide the
Dressed in a pair of blue tailored suit, Nathan pulled his hair into a neat bun before making his way out of the room. It was a weekend and everyone was at home, including audrey. It was already an hour to his flight, he didn’t want to miss it. As much as he wanted to stay with Paige, he knew Esperanza also needed him.So with that at the back of his head, he heaved a sigh before walking up to Paige who looked like she was about to cry.“Are you really leaving?” Even if she was just a child, Paige had come to love Nathan more than anything in the world. She was not aware of her relationship with him yet but despite that, she loved him more than the world,“I thought you said you wanted to stay with me”Nathan gently cupped her tiny hands in his own hands and pressed a kiss on her forehead, he felt like a groom leaving his wife behind at the wedding alter,“I have to leave, princess” he said after a while, “something urgent came up and I have to go okay?”“But can I come with you?” Tea
It was already past eight in the night when a soft knock resonated on the door of the room and Bianca gently opened her eyes before making her way to the door and when she saw who it was, her countenance changed. What the heck was he doing so late at night? Wasn’t he tired? Her head was throbbing and she just wanted to go back to bed.“Why are you here, Nathan?” She asked him from the door, not bothering to even invite him into the room, “it is already so late and you are here?”“Can we talk?” The big boss questioned, his voice bland and without any emotions, “I can not sleep and I think we should talk”Bianca rolled her eyes to the back of her head and glanced into the room. Her daughter was sleeping peacefully on the bed and she didn’t want to wake her up.“What exactly do you want to talk about Nathan?” She akdes again, “we have been talking without any new words, I am really not In the mood to talk to you”“We can either talk here in our daughter’s presence or away from her hearin
Xavier gulped at her question and he raked his hand through his hair. He was definitely not expecting what she had just said.He raked his hand through his hair as he stood up from his reclining chair and walked up to the large window that served as a wall in his office.“What are you saying, Bianca?” He was completely lost for words.“You like me, don’t you?” She asked from the other end, “I think we should get married, what do you think?“Why are you suddenly saying all this, B?” He couldn’t help but ask, “did Nathan do something? Are you okay? Should I come over?” She heaved a sigh from the other end and he realized she was just stressed out. His heart broke for a split second, he actually thought she meant it but she wanted to use him to get away from Nathan again. The mere thought of him annoyed me to the core of my being.“You know what?” Bianca began to talk again, “it was a mistake” not bothering to wait for his response, she ended the call while Xavier balled his hand into a
Dressed in a pair of black flay pants and a crisp white shirt neatly tucked into her pants, Louisa made her way into the vip room and she was not surprised to see him standing near the window looking as dashing as always.This was the first man she ever fell in love with and even if she knew that nothing was ever going to happen between them again, she was quite aware that Stefan was always ready to do anything for her. Anything at all.With that at the back of her head, she pressed towards him with an expressionless look hovering over her face.When Stefan heard her walk into the room, he immediately turned to her and for a moment he was tongue tied. This was the woman he had not seen face to face for years and she still looked stunning, how he wished.“I thought you were not going to come” he said while taking slow steps towards her“And here I am”Louisa answered, “we should get straight to business”After talking, she slowly lowered herself on the chair in the room while crossing o
A tall looking man was seated on a reclining chair, a cigarette protruding from his mouth while a glass of whiskey is seated beside him.He is well built with his muscles peeking out of his crisp white shirt while his bare chest had a lot of visible tattoos.His door pushed open and another man sauntered into the room before bowing lightly.“Boss” he greeted, “you sent for me”“I have a job for you, Augusto” he turned his attention to the man who had just entered the room.“I am at your service boss” Augusto answered, “just give the order”“Louisa called,” the man announced again and Augusto's forehead creased into a slight frown when he heard the name. This was a name he had not heard for years and suddenly she was back into their lives? How was that even possible! How did she even get Stefan’s number again?“You are surprised right?” Stefan inquired, “I can see the look on your face” he puffed smoke out of his mouth again.“I have not heard her name for years now boss” Augusto respo
It was already past seven in the evening when Nathan made his way downstairs from his daughter’s room. After having an argument with Bianca, he decided to book a hotel for the night and moreover he didn’t want to stay in a house full of women.“Where are you going?” Aunt Aurora, who was seated in the living room, asked him, “I cleaned up the guest room for you,” she added.“Thank you aunty but I have already booked a hotel, I will come back tomorrow to check on her”“Did you tell Bianca you were leaving?”He shrugged as a painful smile appeared on his face,“She wouldn’t care, thank you so much for taking care of my daughter. I really appreciate”“I am doing it for my niece and not you, Nathan” she told him and he nodded at her.“I will take my leave now”Aunt Aurora didn’t bother to stop him, she knew he was going through a lot too. It was not easy for him just as it was not easy for Bianca.“Wait” a voice called out to him and he halted, Bianca was coming down from the stairs and s
