“What wrong did I possibly commit that is not worth your forgiveness, sir? '' Audrey cried out, “I only did what your mum asked me to do and why will I dare to lie to the almighty Nathan Hernandez on my own? I am not that fearless to come to your territory on my own?”“That’s the more reason why you should stay away from me, the more I see you the more I get pissed” after talking, he made to move again.“Nathan” she called almost in a whisper, “I am sorry please” by now the tears she was struggling so hard go contain came bursting out of her eyes, “I know no amount of words will satiate your anger right now but I am telling you the whole truth Nathan, I swear I didn’t mean to hurt you in the way that I did”“But you did and that’s your biggest truth so why am I the bad person if I want to punish you?”“Nat….” The words hung in her throat when Vanessa appeared by the door and she didn’t look happy in the slightest.“Really Audrey?” She sneered, “I just left the room for one minute and y
Audrey held the pillow to her forehead for a while, she didn’t want to listen to what her sister had to say. Accusing her of killing their mother has been a trauma she had to go through since she was fifteen and up to this very moment, Vanessa and her father always used that to torture her and it was the only way they could get through her thick skin.“Why are you shying away from the truth?” Vanessa yelled as she yanked the pillow away from her hand, “you really don’t want to hear the truth? You don’t want to hear the fact that you are a murderer and nothing more”“Stop calling me a murderer!!!” She bellowed and that was when the door pushed open again and this time, Bunny entered.The look on his face changed when he saw the two sisters fighting and his heart broke into a thousand pieces when he saw the tears that were falling out of Audrey’s eyes. She was one among the best people he had seen in his life and seeing her go through these days after her twin sister came back to the hou
“Good morning sir” one of the secretary greeted as she sauntered into the office with a brown envelope in her hand, “this mail arrived for you sir”“Thank you “ Bruno collected it and gestured for her to leave which she immediately did before he turned his attention back to the envelope again.As he tore it open, a white paper peeked out and he immediately brought it out before skimming through it thoroughly and the look on his face changed. This was not what he was expecting, this was…Like the speed of light, he picked up his phone and dialed a certain number. This was big news, he couldn’t keep it to himself.The person from the other end of the line answered the phone on the second ring and muttered a deep husky, “hello”“Good morning boss” Bruno greeted immediately.“Yes, tell me” Nathan ordered, “why have you called so early? Mrs Hernandez is on her way now or is there something you can not handle?”“Not at all sir” Bruno added, “we just received a mail from the Korean fashion we
“Come on in” doctor Bradson ordered as a soft knock came on his office door, it was a hectic Monday morning and the fact that he had to travel to rice island to meet Nathan was still part of his schedule but what could he do? He was very busy and he was sure another patient was on his way to his office.The door gently pushed open and a female nurse entered looking very professional and poise, she looked like someone who knew her job.“What is it?”“Mr and Mrs smith are here to see you regarding their sons surgery sir, they don’t have an appointment but I told them to wait if I can get you to meet them”“Bring them in” Brad added and she gave a nod before walking out of the room.A few minutes later, an old but agile couple sauntered into the room and the doctor had to stand up on seeing them, a smile plastered across his face.“Hello Mr and Mrs smith” Bradson stretched out his hand for a shake, “it is good to see that you are both looking okay”“Of course” the old lady smile back at h
Stuffing the last piece of clothing in her suitcase, Audrey slumped on the bed as her eyes darted across her room. This was a room she has come to inhabit for a month now and she has come to fall in love with the serenity of the room, the memories she made with Nathan in this room and every other thing in between.Her thoughts were interrupted when her phone began to beep and seeing the caller ID, Audrey heaved a sigh before pressing the phone against her ear.“Hello”“Audrey” Bradson’s voice penetrated through her ear, “sorry to bother you at this time”“It is fine doctor, what can I help you do now?”“Actually, the medications I have administered for Nathan, I want you to go to his room and give me the full list of the medications, i misplaced mine in my laptop and I need it for a new research study”Audrey was feeling skeptical about it, Nathan warned her to stay away from him and they even had an argument a while back, she didn’t know how he was going to react to it.“I really don’
The whole staff of Avanti rushed into the conference room, it was an impromptu meeting and everyone wanted to hear what the chairwoman was going to say.After a few minutes, Mrs Hernandez sauntered into the conference room looking all sweet in her white crisp shirt and blue maxi skirt. Her white shirt was neatly tucked into the skirt while her short hair was neatly arranged to fall in ringlets beside her. Mrs Hernandez looked so good that no one could compare.“Good morning ma’am” everyone began to greet as she took her seat but she only ignored them while placing her limited edition Avanti bag on the table.“We should begin” she finally spoke into the mini microphone on the table, “the CEO of Avanti, Nathan Hernandez, my son will be coming back to the country in a few days” she dropped the news and a silent murmur went up from over three hundred people In the conference room.“As we all know” Louisa continued again, “he has been away for a while now because of personal reasons but he
Everyone was gathered around when Nathan’s car pulled into the driveway and he alighted with the help of Vanessa and Bunny while Audrey and the rest were threading behind them carefully.Her head was still throbbing and she felt like she was about to faint but Rose was holding onto her lightly and Audrey felt grateful for that.“Welcome young master” all the workers bowed to him but he ignored them and made his way to the door where his mother was standing with a smile on her face. Even if she was not totally In support of the fact that he was back, she was happy that he was back.The Hernandez mansion has not been the same since he left and finally the glow and shine will return to the house and this was what made her so happy.“My baby” she gently pulled him into her embrace, “it’s so nice to finally have you back”“You literally didn’t want me to come back” Nathan said with an eye roll, “I don’t think you are actually happy to see me”“Of course not” the old lady gave him a light pu
After walking around in the garden for a while, Audrey turned to leave and stopped right in her tracks when she saw Vanessa standing a few feet away from her and she didn’t look happy at all.Left for Vanessa, she would have loved it if Audrey was even allowed into the house but what could she do? Nathan never goes back on his word, especially not to someone who lied to him and manipulated him to a certain fault.Heaving a sigh, Audrey decided to just go without her sister anything. It was not like they had anything to talk about though but Vanessa was in the mood to have a fight, she wanted Audrey out of her sight and seeing her again was already infuriating for her.“Why don’t you leave?” She asked when Audrey got to her? A well mannered woman would have found her way out of this mansion a long time ago after we arrived but you chose to be shameless and remain here. What more do you want Nathan to do to you before you leave?”“Very well then, I will leave and never be back. Is that o
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
