If there was one thing Scott was known for, it was being good at surprising people.The suit Scott had on matched the one he had chosen for Nathan. Dressed like a winter prince, he stood in a blue tuxedo and a white fur coat, holding a black one fur, drapped in one of his arms.Nathan felt like the brothers might share clothes since they were twins, often dressing alike for events. Back in high school, he saw a video of the Hayes twins showing up at an event, looking exactly the same, from their clothes to their hairstyles. The Hayes twins really do like twinnin'!, He thought.Looking at Scott now, he noticed that Scott appeared quite the opposite of what he had claimed earlier.

Nathan’s POVNathan remained outside even after Myla departed, staring at the door in disbelief. It was clear that Myla knew something, and Nathan had to find out what the guy knew. Besides, this was the first time he was meeting Myla, so how did Myla find out that he was Lucas and not Nathan?Myla said that Nathan had told him not to call him Lucas. He had made sure to find out every single detail that he could possibly find out about Nathaniel online and there was no where it was stated that Nathaniel's name was also Lucas. He heaved a sigh, wiping his forehead in annoyance. What the hell was going on? he thought.He moved to go after Myla but stopped when the balcony door opened. Did Myla come back? He asked internally.

Sometimes, he had to pretend that he saw someone interesting to avoid their long conversation." does this ever stop …" Nathan mumbled, grabbing the glass that Scott was holding out of his hand and taking a sip.Scott stared at him, taking back his glass with an eye roll, "... no it doesn't. Who are you avoiding?" He asked, looking behind Nathan.Nathan flicked his gaze to the man who was approaching and jerked his finger, " that man. Big eye balls, short and gray suit."

Scott’s POV‘Can you come to the station, Scott? It’s urgent'That was the text Scott had gotten from detective Hayden, and he had been in the process of returning the text when all hell went loose. His mind was only able to register two things: a flashlight and the crash.He could recall Nathan pushing him out of the car and running, but every other thing that happened after that passed by in a flash.Scott felt a solid body on top of him after the explosion, and it took him a few seconds to grasp that the body that was on top of him, and wasn’t moving was Nathan. He groaned in pain, trying to wake his brother, but Nathan didn’t move. Fear overwhelmed him instantly as he thought that the worse had happened. He didn't want to dwell much on his thoughts.“No! No, No!” he chanted as he tried to move his brother away from him. It took him a few seconds but he was able to move Nathan away.The moment he was free of the weight, he turned immediately to gaze at Nathan’s face, but his broth

Nathan’s POV"He's okay; he just needs to rest, and he’ll be as good as new,” Dr. Maxwell assured Nathan.Nathan groaned, pulling his fingers over his hair. At least Scott was now receiving treatment, and as the doctor had informed him, his brother was fine. Scott just needed to rest so the different drugs Piped into his system could work.He heaved another deep sigh, tilting his neck to lessen the agony he was feeling. When Scott had collapsed on the ground, he had imagined the worst, especially seeing his brother’s blood-soaked face.The man he was before; Lucas, had not known anything about brotherly love because he had been brought into the world alone. He had been alone for as long as he could remember, so feeling the way he felt about Scott at the moment was strange, yet familiar. He knew part of the reason he was feeling that was was because of Nathaniel."It's also better if you rest too. It was a challenging day for you too,” Dr. Maxwell suggested.He shook his head. "I'm fi

Nathan’s POVBeing the owner of a multibillion-dollar corporation was a task; a very demanding task, especially when you were Nathaniel Hayes, whom everyone wanted to meet and strike a deal with.It was as if the news that Nathaniel Hayes was now awake had reached the four corners of the earth seeing as people flooded into the company everyday to seek audience with him.Seeing that Scott was still resting at home and was yet to return to work, every single work load landed on his shoulders; even though he knew that his brother was fully well to return and was only using this as an opportunity to slowly hand over the reins of the company to him.Of course, Samuel was still there to support him, but it was still a demanding task. He knew nothing about running a company and had to learn from the scratch.The elevator dinged, and he stepped out into the basement parking lot.

Scott’s POVNever had Scott ever imagined that Nathan was ever going to ask if he could trust him. Never in his widest dreams did he ever imagine that trust was ever going to be an issue between them.They had grown up together, linked to one another right from the womb. They had done things together that only the both of them knew about, not even their father. So the question had obviously taken him off balance.Scott looked surprised at Nathan to see if he was really serious or joking. When he couldn’t see any trace of humor, he asked in a tight tone. “Are you for real right now? I am your brother, Nathan. And perhaps the only person you could ever trust”.Whatever was in those folders displayed on the screen of the computer had to be a deep secret if Nathan was acting this way. He noticed a conflicting expression pass through Nathan’s face, as if his brother was still considering whether he should listen to someone.Nathan inclined his head to the side in thought, “I know you’re m

Scott's POVIt could be false, since the list was made ten years ago according to the time stamp on the paper.“ Shit!” He cursed, running his fingers through his hair.“ Exactly my reaction when I saw the list…I can’t even remember the names on the list. I don’t know who they are, Scott “ Nathan whispered.“This is all messed up. What if the list is inaccurate and someone gave it to you to spark up trouble and distrust in the company?” Scott suggested. “Maybe you were in the process of investigating the list before the accident happened,” he continued.That could be why Nathan had not said anything to him about the list. Maybe he had been trying to investigate if the list was true. He moaned, raking his fingers through his disheveled hair. This could be nothing to bother about, he thought.They were yet to hear anything from the police investigation regarding their previous accident, and now this was coming up, Scott thought. Was it too much of a coincidence?“What if someone is tryi

Chapter 20
Nathan’s POVNathan woke up with a sense of purpose the next morning. He had half expected that he would sleep through the morning, considering how late he had stayed awake the previous night and finally gone to bed.He had spent the better part of his night going through the videos on the file and attempting to make sense of them. The scenery kept changing in the videos, and he was unable to make sense of what the recorder was really pointing at.Whoever was in charge of recording kept on altering the location and view of the camera. What was the person trying to find out, Nathan thought.Sometimes, the camera was positioned in the hallway, adjacent offices, or even the board room. The location was not consistent, and it was after Scott had called it a night after falling asleep while they were watching the videos that he noticed how late it was.Even after collapsing on the bed, it had taken him a while to finally let go and fall asleep.He massaged his blurry eyes as he climbed ou
