CHAPTER 171
From Teardrops To Billions/Nathan Emorey
Candace was trying hard to keep her happiness to herself as she walked out of the hall. She was pulling everyone's attention towards herself as she walked with a tight smile on her lips, she just won herself a higher respect from the people all because Mr Frost requested a meeting with her. "It's not every day you'll see Mr Frost in the flesh and for him to request a private meeting makes us confused about the relationship between you and Mr Frost. Can you tell us what we want to hear, Miss Candace?" A reporter who stopped her had requested. Candace, not wanting to seem rude decided to speak a few words, "I earned his presence with my hard work and I think anyone could do it and I'm happily married to someone that's not Mr Frost. No, I can't cheat on my husband." And with that said, she continued her journey. She couldn't wait to gist with Collins about everything. She got to where the car was parked and Nathan was not in, she faced one of her guards, "Didn't I inform you to le

Nathan's eyes widened as he read the messages between Vivian and Percy. The conversation was laced with malice and cunning, revealing a sinister plot. Percy: We need to get him out of the picture, mom. That loser is too protective over Candace. It's going to ruin our plans. How dare Candace! My husband did not seal the deal and then some useless girl who isn’t even a true member of the family does it? Collins must go! Vivian: Agreed, sweetheart. Remember the seduction plan? It's time to execute it. If he falls for it, we have all the evidence we need to bring him down. Percy: You think he'll take the bait? Vivian: He's a man, Percy. Men have weaknesses. And of course, no man would ignore those beautiful curves of yours. Play your part well, and we'll have Candace turning against him in no time. Percy: Got it. I'll make sure everything's set up. Once Candace finds out, she'll divorce him, and he'll be out of here without a penny. Nathan's hands trembled with rage and disbelief.

“Now, you might be wondering why I am speaking all of these epistles and being emotional. Well, listen, I have no reason. I was doing some meditation recently, and really, I just have to be thankful to Buddha for raining down his blessings on us.” The whole room suddenly became saturated and everyone clapped in applause. Truly, they had been too caught up in their disasters and hating on each other that they had forgotten to be grateful for the opportunity handed on a golden platter to them. Nathan simply stood there, stoic. He like the little family reunion and hoped it would last, even though he knew it would not. After all of his years walking the thorns of this earth, he had come to the realization that when money and power is involved in any system, there always tend to be problems. Especially when you have greedy people like Vivian and Gerald and Donald and practically all of them! ‘But no, Nathan, not right now. You need to flow along in the joyous moment.’ He said to him

“Alright, mother. Here is my gift for you.” Anita began, pulling out a dark, well decorated box. It was opened and in it was a very beautiful and expensive Gold Lotus necklace. “I ordered it directly from the temple in Nepal and I knew you would love it. Happy birthday, mother.” The pendant which was worth $2.5 Million was a beautifully crafted piece of art. The Lotus flower is a significant symbol in Buddhism, representing growth and spiritual enlightenment. “Aww, my sweetheart. I have been searching for this pendant for many years now. I love you!” Vivian responded, kissing the pendant passionately. Doland and his wife, Racheal were next. They brought out a limited edition leather bag made directly from an amazing artist, Emonda. The bag was specially crafted for her with her name boldly embroidered on it. Its worth was $5 Million. Vivian huged the soft bag and kissed it too, blessing the couple for their generous gifts. The rest of the family kept bringing more gifts for gr

Then, walking round the table, he began pouring the wine into each glass with exaggerated flourish. Nathan noticed that when he got to Candace’s table he delayed a little and did some strange things. But he pushed away any negative thoughts. He was probably being a pessimist. To Gerald’s surprise, the quantity of the drink was really small, compared to what he had imagined. And though he did not show it on his face, he hoped that the price would be worth the quantity. When he got to Nathan’s side, he turned the bottle, but the only thing that came out was a tiny drop of red liquid followed by a hollow sound of an empty bottle. “Oops, I guess Collins is always unfortunate. He did not get to taste the finest wine after all." Nathan looked at the empty glass in front of him and then back at Gerald, his eyes glinting with amusement. "It's alright, Gerald," he said smoothly. "I can imagine the taste just fine. And it smells really expensive" Gerald snorted and took his seat, baskin

“No, sir. I don’t think we have met before. Though you look familiar yourself. Your eyes, they look… Well, perhaps my eyes are playing tricks on me. Forgive me sir.” The waiter said, eager to head back to his work before his arrogant, useless boss arrives and begins to make a scene out of nothing. “Um. No no no. It’s fine. I just feel like I’ve known you in a past life. What’s your name?” Nathan asked, stretching out his hand. The waiter looked at Nathan’s eyes so closely that Nathan knew he was not wrong. The guy hesitated for a while and then shook Nathan’s hand. “I’m.. John. I’m John. My friends call me Johnny.” Nathan felt like this dude was lying. His name was not John because he never remembered having any John in his life. But again, all good. He dipped his hand into his pocket and slipped out his contact card. “I’m Collins, my business partners call me Mr. Frost. You can..” “Oh shit! Sir. You are Mr. Frost? This is unbelievable! I'm sorry I…” “Shh.. don’t draw atte

“I said," What is going on? " What did you do to her?” He asked, facing the other members of the family who were not as worried as he was. But in that moment, as he opened his mouth, it was like thunder from heaven struck, sending lightning bolts to everyone’s body. They had ever seen Collins so upset. “We don’t know, Collins, maybe she ate a bad meal, don’t blame us.” Anita responded, acting concerned. Maybe she was, maybe she wasn’t, Nathan didn’t care. The fact that they did not really show any sign of care itched his eyeballs. “Yes, I mean, it may be her cancer too, she has acted this way before.” Racheal added. “Fuck you, why are you sitting there? Call the emergency ward. Aren’t there any in this eatery?” He roared. But there was none. It seemed like all the medical staff did not come to work today. What?? Why today? Nathan then quickly raised Candace while her body was still shaking. He did not know what had occurred, but if what he was thinking was true, then he vow

Nathan’s eyes widened in extreme shock and disbelief. This is not true. This is.. not true! Nathan quickly composed himself, maintaining the façade. "Marcus, huh? That's a name I haven't heard in a long time," he said, his tone carefully neutral. Marcus nodded, a shadow of sorrow crossing his face. "Yes, Mr. Frost. I've had to keep a low profile. Life hasn't exactly been easy since I left college. It's... complicated." Nathan leaned in slightly, his curiosity piqued. He needed to make sure that this was the Marcus he once knew, the Marcus who was his friend. The Marcus who had been non existent for over 6 years ever since they left college. "Complicated how? You can trust me. After all, you've got nothing to lose at this point." Marcus hesitated, glancing around the hospital waiting room as if expecting someone to burst in and drag him away. He took a deep breath, then began, "Back when I was in college, I had only two friends. Their names were Nathan and Neil.” He began. As s

“What happened to her? Is she fine? What did the doctors say?” Vivian and the rest of the family began running down the hallway towards Nathan who was talking to the doctor. The whole family wasn’t there. There were just Vivian, Anita and Donald and his wife, Rachel. Nathan gave each one of them a dead look, then he charged towards Donald, grabbing him by the collar. His eyes were a fiery furnace and Donald could feel Nathan’s hot breath on his skin. “What the fuck did you guys do? Who poisoned my fucking wife? Who?!” Nathan roared and his veins could be seen bulging from his neck and forehead. He shoved Donald against the wall, his grip tight and unyielding. The rest of the family stared in shock, not used to seeing Collins lose his composure like this. Donald stammered, trying to regain his footing and some semblance of dignity. "I-I don't know what you're talking about! We didn't do anything to her, I swear!" His voice wavered, betraying his fear. Vivian stepped forward,

2 Days Later Nathan was in his office, typing away on his laptop, but even with the fact that he was working, he was not fully engrossed in what he was doing, his mind would not stop going to Candace who was still in the hospital. 'How is she now? Is she responding to treatment? Is her cancer acting up again? Should I call my doctor to treat her?' He kept the million questions going on in his head. 'Let me call the doctor.' He concluded in his mind and put a call to the doctor. "Hello doc, what's up?" "Mr Frost," Nathan could feel the doctor's smile from the way he pronounced his name, "How are you today?" "I'm very fine, but my wife is not," Nathan told the doctor. He didn't even understand why he referred to Candace as his wife, it was simply a contract, and maybe it was for a better explanation. He also couldn't argue that he might have caught some feelings for his contract wife. Afterall, why would he have fought so angrily for her 2 days ago? "Oh, Mr Frost! You're marri
