Chapter 31: On Bended Knees

Nathan loved her—or at least, that was what he had told to her.Her stomach somersaulted into fireworks, the fizzy sensation leaping into her insides as if it wanted to burst out. She felt her cheeks warm in a fluster, and her chest tightened in an odd, euphoric manner.Who wouldn’t feel that when the man who just confessed to you was by your side while both of you looked like fools stealing each other's glances as you waited for the elevator to open? Heightening up her uncouthness, Daphne didn’t know if she should at least tell him something or not. He said he would wait for her response, yet Daphne knew in her heart that she already had an answer.It was just more of a matter of how she would tell him.And with that, she gathered all her confidence to face him by pivoting to his side. Nathan noticed her, his hand still inside the pockets as he raised his eyebrows, waiting for Daphne to speak."Nathan, um, about what you said a while ago..." Daphne mumbled, nibbling her lower lip.He

Chapter 32: Attentive Beau

Daphne couldn’t sleep. Her mind was still awake and active, perusing on what Maverick had told her a while ago. Was it true that Tatiana had forged her medical results so that he would believe she was infertile? If that was so, she was relieved to know that his true intention for her was to make her pregnant, give birth to an heir and do nothing more than that. She knew she was beyond that appalling notion, and she was more capable than being his breeding wife, who could give him sons to appease his selfish goals. Be that as it may, she didn’t feel sorry or livid regarding that revelation; as such, Maverick was no longer important to him. Although she had felt a twinge of guilt for him; it didn’t supersede her hovering feelings of betrayal from what he had done. She didn’t want her heart shattered again, especially by the same man who had become the reason for her brokenness.And yet, here again... another man—Nathan, who completely overturned her feelings, which she had already shut

Chapter 33: Bad Beat Luck

Linda Collins was not as inquisitive and perceptive as her daughter Daphne, which was the main reason why she often made impetuous and dubious decisions.

Chapter 34: Robe De Chambre

The minute Daphne left the bathroom, Nathan, who was drinking his third bottle of water, almost choked out. Jolting up from the sofa, he coughed relentlessly when his eyes gorged out of Daphne’s flimsy nightgown."Are you okay?" she asked worriedly as she walked toward him.Nathan waved at her while shaking his head. Damn, this woman was completely oblivious to how he turned him inside out. He definitely wasn’t expecting her to wear something rather promiscuous and so—sultry, that all his mind could think of was to undo that dress of hers and sink his mouth into her luscious lips."I’m okay." He cleared his throat, stood up from the sofa, and frantically walked to his belongings.Daphne nibbled her bottom lips. She wrapped her arms around herself as she trod to where her suitcase was and grabbed her nightly essentials.Then, as soon as Nathan finished unpacking his things, he turned around to head to the bathroom when he found himself gawking at Daphne. He gulped, unfastening his coll

Chapter 35: The Return of the X

The executive meeting started without further ado. Along with the research and development team, the marketing head discussed the new product line that Nathan and his team were planning to introduce to the market next month.There was a solid research background, a tight market line, and potential growth in the segmented market. It was undeniably a well-thought-out plan for the branch to penetrate a specific market that was not yet saturated by the big brands. However, Casper Smith was censured for this. He didn’t like it, and he was adamant about pulling the project out before it could even reach the public.Despite this, Nathan would never back down. He knew he had a concrete plan that could be materialized effectively and would give the branch a chance to be saved from being sold to the market. This was, after all, his brother’s legacy, and he would do everything in his power to realize the dream that his brother wanted for their subsidiary branch."Your project has a lot of risks,

Chapter 36: Of Dilemmas and Enmities

Deanna Smith, the ex of Nathan and Casper’s one and only daughter, was a woman who possessed a stunning, voluptuous body and a strikingly alluring visage. Her cherry red lips were damn seductive, as were the curvaceous arches of her hips and her long, dainty legs, which were not that tall, yet were suitable for her body frame.Daphne couldn’t deny her beauty or unquestionably the aura she emanated throughout the room. Her strawberry blonde hair bounced along her deliberate strides as she walked into the office like it was her runway. Nathan approached her with a spirited, distraught expression on his face and his teeth bared in a snide manner.The minute Deanna reached Nathan, she gave him a sultry smile, while Daphne received a haughty expression. She raised her arms to lift his blue necktie and unctuously gazed at him with every hint to irritate Daphne."Hi, sweetie. Don’t you miss me?"Nathan pulled his necktie away from her while his jaw tightened. He didn’t reciprocate her advanc

Chapter 37: An Empty Room and Silence

Daphne stayed at the terminal while waiting for her flight. The airline attendant had no qualms about changing the time of her flight and was quick to switch it to the earliest flight. She sat there for hours, scanning around the empty halls of the hallway with a few people surrounding her, waiting for their departure. It was already late in the evening and the sun behind them on the glass windows was about to set down.Nathan must have already been in a reunion with Deanna, so he had probably forgotten about her. Besides, he didn’t need her anymore since his ex-girlfriend finally returned. With that, she still couldn’t bear the reality of being hurt again for two consecutive times. Presumably, he must have been happy with Deanna, so Daphne had become insignificant to him now.‘Why am I even expecting him to be here, anyway? He would never look for me and he already had Deanna with him!’ Daphne sniffed, wiping her snotty nose.Truth be told, their relationship was nonexistent in the f

Chapter 38: Seized and Captured

Nathan traipsed throughout the entire area of the hotel to scour the place, hoping he could locate where Daphne was. He’d been looking for her for an entire hour and yet none of the employees had seen her. In desperation to find, he asked his secretary Elliot if he had any news about Daphne’s whereabouts. Gripping the cell phone tightly in his ears, he asked, “You’ve found something?” “Sir, I’ve tried asking the guards and they’ve seen her getting out of the hotel with her suitcase and luggage. It seemed that she might have gone to the airport, considering that even her ticket was nowhere to be found,” Elliot explained, saddened by what happened. His mouth tucked into a pressing line. Frowning, he replied, “Alright, thanks . . .” “Are you heading to the airport? I’ll be on my way to the hotel. We can ask the driver to give you a ride there?” his secretary suggested. Nathan looked at his watch and realized that it was already past four o’clock. She might not be there anymore and m

Chapter 39: To Have the Second Chance

Her eyes popped open at the door as she saw the shadow of the man coming in their direction. She squinted at the figure so that she could get a better view of him. Far away, the mysterious man looked familiar, as though she had known him before.‘Nathan? Is that you, Nathan?’ She mentally asked herself. Her heart soared with happiness, thinking that Nathan had come to save her.Nonetheless, to her surprise, the man was not him. The color of his hair, the shape of his face, and the expression in his eyes were all different from Nathan’s physical appearance. He was shorter, slimmer, and more delicate compared to him, yet these were not the reasons for her astonishment.‘Maverick? How did he find me?’ She asked herself while watching him strut toward them with renewed confidence and valiance.She didn’t know how he found her, considering that the last time Daphne had seen her was when he begged to get back together again in the apartment. How come he was here? How did Maverick know she h

Chapter 40: Hide and Seek

"You're a fool, Nathan! If you think you can bring me down, you're a dunce! I made you who you are today, lad, and if it wasn't for me, the company your father built would be as dead as the herring," Casper mocked, lurching at the edge of his seat, struggling to straighten his back on the sofa board.Nathan’s eyes clawed at him like a sharp dagger. His jaw convulsed unfavorably as his fingers dug deeper into his palms. "I don’t owe you anything, bastard! You lied to my father to get what you wanted!" He stepped forward to the old man and smothered him once more, now tightening his grip on the wide girth of his neck. "It was because of you that my brother is dead!"His thick, shrieking voice echoed throughout the room. Casper tried to take off his hand by hitting him with threadbare force. "Let me go, you crazy imbecile, or I’ll call the police to charge you with physical abuse!""How about I’ll sue you for premeditated murder?" Nathan sneered, scrabbling his nails on the nerves poppin
