Still Nathans POVThis belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    “What do I do if your mom finds out that you have a girl in your house, what do I say to her, how do I even exin this to your girlfriend, you know how crazy she can be, you’ve seen how dangerous she can be when she is upset, I don’t want any troubles Nate, I can’t deal with all this when you are away.” she whined like a baby, pouting like a spoilt bratty child.


    “We’ve talked about this over and over again, my love. Why don’t you give it a rest, I’m not changing my mind, not now, not ever. I need you here, in our house, waiting patiently for me. The thoughts of a beautiful woman waiting for my return would encourage me to finish my task on time and run back home to you. I love you Hiry and I need to be sure that you are fine even in my absence. Nobody knows about this house, my love, no one is going to find out about you. I got this house for us and nobody else knows about it except for you and I. You’ll be safe here, I promise. If anything goes wrong, these guys would take care of it and make sure you are okay, that is why they are here.” I assured her, pushing her hair behind her ears, cupping her warm, soft cheeks on my hand.


    “You should have let me stay with Avril, I’ll be morefortable with herpany. Now I’m stuck in this huge house, with these three Macho men that scare the shit out of me. I hate you for this Nate, I fucking hate you.” She continued.


    “I told you she coulde live here with you until I returned. The guest room downstairs would be perfect for her, I’m sure she would love it. Besides, these three macho men are here for your protection, don’t go having any funny ideas.” I teased her, earning a hard re from her.


    “Come on love, I was only pulling your legs, I trust you implicitly. I know you would never cheat on me. Here, have this,” I told her while handing her my tinum ck card.


    “Look, I know how much you love being independent and all that, but trust me you’ll need this. It has enough money on it tost you for a lifetime, and don’t worry, it’s not being funded by the familypany, it is funded by my other businesses that my family doesn’t know about. Do not fail to use it for anything you need, I mean anything at all. I would be so pissed if I do not see an alert from this card every week, or every day, it’s your choice actually, I don’t really care how often you use it, all I care about is that you must use it, it my money, I mean our money and I want you to use it, always.” I coarse her, speaking in a soft, hoarse tone.


    “What if I run down your ount, I could run off with your money, you know.” She responded with a smirk, making me chuckle softly.


    “I would love to see you try, baby girl. It would take a million years to run down my ount, besides, it would give me great joy to watch you spend my money, it’s all I ever want,” I muttered softly, watching as her face brightened up with a warm smile.


    “Here’s an assignment, or should I say, a task. Felix would take you car shopping tomorrow, I want you to get a car for yourself with that card. I wouldn’t want you driving my car around, It would draw attention to you and it could get you on the front page of the newspapers. I don’t want that now, you wouldn’t be able to handle the pressure from the journalist and my family, not while I’m away. This is a test Hilly, get a car that would suit your new status as Mrs. Nathan Trent. Make me proud of your choice of car, babe, don’t disappoint me.” I warned yfully.


    “Now that you mentioned it, I think I’ll go by the garage and get myself a Volkswagen Beetle, what do you think, would that suit my style and status?” she asked teasingly.


    “I would literally kill you, Hiry. No wife of mine would ride in that junk of a car.” I responded with a light chuckle, causing her to giggle along with me. I dragged her along with me as I drove to the office to attend my meeting with the board and also introduce Rosie as my secretary and Fred, as my personal assistant. She stay in the car, waiting for me as I conveyed my instructions to everyone including Travis who simply sat there and stared at me with a smirk on his face.


    I exined in detail to the board of directors, telling them that I’m still in charge and every decision must be passed by me before it is made. Every report muste to me through Rosie and every contract must be approved by me before it is carried out. As I gave these instructions, I expected Travis to counter my decision or say something to refute my orders, but the dude kept mute and he focused on theptop in from of him, smirking evilly as he ignored me totally.


    Now I’m truly convinced that he is nning something big. His attitude to everything I just said has proven to me that whatever he is nning, it is really big. He looks so confident of his ns and it got me thinking so hard, what exactly is he nning for me and what is he using to ckmail my grandfather. I kept ring at him as if I could find answers to these questions guing me in his face. He must have felt my eyes on him, he raised his head and returned my gaze, smirking even more evilly, if that was even possible. I want to wipe that smirk off his face with a p, I want to punch him so hard until he spills out everything that he is hiding.


    My blood was boiling hot and my anger could be seen in my countenance. I had to leave before I do something crazy, I had to walk out before I get physical with that bastard brother of mine. To think that he could look me in the eyes and smile at me after screwing a girl that is supposedly my girlfriend, how audacious!!! I could strangle him to death and I wouldn’t feel an ounce of regret or remorse. He has no right to do what he did, and someday, when I finally take overpletely, I would deal ruthlessly with Travis, for now, I just have to ignore him and act ignorant to all his evil ns.


    “That would be all for now gentlemen. Our next meeting would be on zoom. I’m terribly sorry for any inconvenience this might cause to anyone, be rest assured that when I return from this trip, everything would go back to normal.” I said with confidence and poise as I stood up and left the conference hall, leaving Rosie and Travis to handle the rest of the meeting. I put across a call to the pilot, telling him that I will be arriving at the airport in a few minutes. He assured me that he just finished doing his routine checkup on my private ne and everything was in order. I called Costello to know if he has any updates for me, but he had nothing new to tell me. He tries to talk me out of this trip one more time, but I insisted on fulfilling my promise to Gramps, after all, the sooner I get this over with, the sooner I cane back to my woman.


    She was leaning on the backrest of the car, sleeping like a baby. I wouldn’t me her, she had gotten little to no sleepst night and it’s all my fault, id kept her awake all night long. I got into the car, shutting the door gently so I don’t startle her awake. I pulled her into my arms, pecking her forehead softly, ying with her hair.


    “How did your meeting go?” she let out in a tiny whisper as she snuggled closer to me, curling herself in my arms.


    “It went well, my love. Better than expected even.” I lied to her. I don’t want her bothering about our family business, she doesn’t have to know that my family is messed up. It would be better to keep all of that information to myself, at least for now. She woke up on the road as we drove to the airport, looking so cute as she scrunched up her face and yawned. I chuckled softly, looking into her eyes with a warm smile on my face.


    “I’ll miss you, my love, I don’t know how I’ll survive without you,” I muttered softly, pulling her in for a heated, passionate kiss. We made out at the backseat of my SUV as the driver drove me to the airport. It was so hard to turn around and walk into the ne, leaving her behind. I kissed away a lone tears that slipped out of her eyes, promising to keep my vows to her. I kissed her one more time before heading towards the ne, with the pilot and hostesses standing in a row, waiting for my arrival.


    The pilot seems fidgety. I don’t know how unnoticed that but I did and it just doesn’t seem right. He is always cheerful and happy whenever he is taking me on a trip, but today, he just seems off. I ignored that little voice in my head that is telling me that something is not right. I don’t want to be seen as a weakling, so I boarded my ne, smiling through the window at Bethany. I blew a mist on the sparkling window, drawing a heart shape on it, waving and smiling at my girl through the windows as the ne took off to the skies immediately we got cleared for takeoff. When we were midair, I brought out myptop and called her on a video call, I just can’t bear to be apart from her. It’s only been a few minutes but it felt like a few months already.


    How on earth am I going to live without her for almost six months, what the hell am I even saying, it could be even more than that. How can I go on without her, it’s definitely going to be hard, so fucking hard, I tell you.


    “Hey, you…”


    “Hey,” she responded with a warm smile. “You just couldn’t stay away from me, could you?” she asked teasingly, causing me to chuckle softly at her words. We spoke for a good few hours, chuckling and giggling like two teenage lovers. I don’t know how long we’ve been on this video call, she had gotten back home, she’s lying on the couch while we spoke on a video call, watching each other’s faces. Suddenly there was amotion on the ne, the hostesses kept moving around in a panic and the engine wasn’t sounding properly anymore.


    “Boss, Something Doesn’t feel right. I need to go check it out.” Noel, one of my security detail said to me before leaving thefy seating area in my private ne. I watched him walk toward the cockpit, that was when I noticed that something wasn’t right. I was on a video call with Hiry, and I’ve not been paying attention to my surroundings. A few minutes after he walked towards the cockpit, he ran out in a panic, holding out a parachute to me and the other two guys that I brought along.


    “Boss, we need to get out of here right now, an aerofoil broke and the pilot is unable to control the ne ornd it, this ne is going to blow into bits within seconds, we need to leave, right now!” Noel yelled in a panicked voice, urging us to grab a parachute, as he hurries and packs my backpack that contains all my important documents and mymunication devices that I am supposed to use in the Caribbean andmunicate with my staffers and family.


    I felt so weak all of a sudden, it felt like a joke or a dream and no matter how hard I try, I still could not fully grasp what was happening. Yes, one heard of nes crashing in the air or blowing up into bits and pieces, but it never urred to me that I could ever be a victim of such. I spend so much money on maintaining this fucking ne, the pilot assured me just before we boarded that everything was okay, how could he have missed this, what the hell is going on here?
