“Move in with me, Elena” Nathan said quickly, like he didn’t want those words to linger on the air for long.Elena inhaled sharply. “For protection Lena, until we take Uyors and Damien down” he said.‘Now, Nathan was offering safety with closeness’ she thought to herself. The situation is fucked up for Elena because it’s emotional torture. She would stay with him, work with him, dine with him, and now live with him. ‘Thank you karma! For making my regrets a constant in my life’ she thought until Nathan’s voice dragged her out again.“Get in, My new baby is not very patient” he said. He was obviously not seeking her permission. “Okay” she said as she rolled her eyes about his new car.He drove her in his new Mercedes Benz latest edition. The ride was silent as she discovered NFT estates were a little distant.Nate played his favorite song, which Elena still remembered. They used to dance together with it years back ‘Well the journey of torture just began’. Although this wasn’t Nathan’

“How did you like my baby’s comfort?” Nathan asked Elena as they landed in the airport in Espanol as the Spanish airport had been expecting his private jet.She replied with a thumbs-up as they highlighted the jet and walked to the car assigned to Nathan throughout his stay in Spain.Madrid did not ease itself into Elena’s senses. It arrived boldly with an unapologetic sun and glowing warm stone buildings that mimicked ancient empires.Elena felt the sun on her forehead, her body knew she was far from home. Although she had never been to Spain, she knew bits of myths about Spain.The air was thick with citrus, heat, and leaves from a nearby tree. Nathan moved ahead of her as they arrived at the car. “Good afternoon Sir, Mr Romano sends his greetings” The driver said.“Take me to him then” Nathan replied with quiet authority and restraint. He adjusted his sunglasses and his immaculate tailored suit as he entered the car.Elena saw the confidence in his speech, the soil obviously wasn't

She banged the bathroom door as tears trickled down her face. The crowd outside just applauded Nate and Esme and it pierced a part of her soul. She felt she now understood how Nathan felt.Nathan didn't mean for all of this to happen, he was dancing with an open mind and Elena was acting on her soft spot for Nathan.She tried to retouch her makeup with some brushes she brought out of her purse so she could go back outside, but she heard a male voice as one of the toilets swung open.“Hey, you look pale, so pale that that makeup won't be able to hide” He said.“Let me try! And what are you doing in the ladies' bathroom,” Lena replied to the handsome stranger.“Actually, you are in the men’s bathroom,” he said, smiling, as Elena realized she hadn't checked the door signs before rushing into the bathroom.“I guess everywhere was blurry when you walked in,” the man said againand laughed.“Leave me alone!” Lena replied as she retouched her blush.“I am sorry if I made a sensitive joke” he

He called Nathan who said he saw the security alert too. “Why can't Uyors give up?” Kelvin said. “He is in a hurry to get rid of me, elections for the seat of Secretary of Defense, are coming up next year. He needs to be six months early”. Nathan scoffed.Uyors planned to send assassins to Spain, he wanted Nate to die there so that he would not be suspected in any way. Smart but not so smart of him.He didn't know that Nathan was notified of any computer, address, or hacker that tries to hack his location including these news channels and he blocks them as soon as possible.Nathan didn't block this one, he let them come to him. Uyors believed Spain would be easy! No Washington press vultures and no Senate committees asking polite questions with sharp teeth.“It should look like an Accident” Uyors said to his boys whom he personally booked tickets to Spain for.Mr. Ramono found trackers at his estate and he told Nathan during breakfast as he noticed that they were Americans.“Let th

“Why did you do that? General Uyors will end us” the other culprit yelled.“We are dead anyway man! As long as we do not execute the assassin, the General will kill us! Both ways we die” the one that confessed said.“What is your name?” Mr. Romano asked the man who confessed. “It’s Adrien sir,” Adrien said.“And you?” He asked the other, who was more stubborn, to talk.“Do whatever suits you, maybe I should send you back to your General to die. I see you've not had a change of heart yet” Mr. Romano said.“There is no stopping him! He will find us and kill us wherever we are! So if you want to help us then make our death easier, do it already!” The stubborn guy said.“His name is Adam,” Adrien said.“He obviously doesn't pay you guys, your behavior shows that you're living below average. Pickpockets are your major specialty as you landed in Spain. Cameras captured videos of the snatched bags, wristwatches, and other things you stole at the marketplace. Why do you work for him then?” Mr
