Chapter 73: Blueprint
The drive back to the Walters Estate was quiet. By the time Dwayne navigated the armored Maybach through the towering iron gates, it was already Sunday evening. Tomorrow was Monday. Tomorrow, "Oliver Salmon" would walk into Braxton College and begin the slow, methodical destruction of Principal Miller.But tonight, Nathan just needed to breathe.He found his cousin, Bush, in the estate's sprawling east garden just past eight o'clock. Bush was sitting on the low stone wall beside the massive Japanese Emperor Maple, recording something on a phone he had propped against a decorative bronze urn.He was freestyling.He wasn't performing —there was a massive difference, and Nathan knew it. Performing was for the crowds. Freestyling was for the raw work. The work you put in.. the one nobody saw. Nobody but you. It was the rapid, quiet process of generating lyrics, keeping what was hot, and letting the garbage dissolve into the night air. Bush was murmuring into the phone, his eyes half-clos
Chapter 72: De Rock Has A Crack
Nathan sat there in absolute silence for a full minute, listening to the sliding door click shut.When he was absolutely sure she was gone, he placed his champagne glass on the stone deck. He leaned forward, burying his face in both of his hands, pressing the heels of his palms deeply into his eyes.He looked up at the dark, starry Boston sky."Oh God, NO!" Nathan whispered fiercely into the empty air. "Don't tell me you just sent another girl my way AGAIN! You must really hate me, huh?!"Nathan threw his hands up in defeat, the crystal glass nearly slipping from his grip. What were the actual odds? He had come to the most exclusive, shadow-draped hotel in the city just to breathe —to escape the noise of his own chaotic life— and he’d managed to stumble right into the Governor’s daughter.And not just any girl, but a brilliant, jade-eyed pretty firecracker who was headed straight for Braxton College on Monday.His sanctuary felt suddenly very small. If Nina saw him on campus next week
Chapter 71: Oliver Sal Mon
Nina looked down at the glowing screen of her phone, the word DAD flashing aggressively in bold letters. The spell of the quiet balcony was broken.She let out a soft, dramatic groan and rolled her pretty green eyes. "Well, I guess it's time for me to go inside and face the music. He's probably pulling his hair out trying to figure out how his master encryption got bypassed."She stood up from the edge of the pool, the water cascading off her smooth legs. She grabbed a plush white towel from the nearby chair and wrapped it elegantly around her waist.She hesitated for a second, shifting her weight from side to side."Can I maybe... get your Instagram?" Nina asked softly, tucking a wet strand of hair behind her ear. "Or your Snapchat? I'd love to chat sometime. You know, since we're both going to be in the city."Nathan scoffed, a genuine, dry sound escaping his lips. "I use none of those."He wasn't lying. During his years of pretending to be poor, he couldn't afford a phone that coul
Chapter 70: Rich Kid
For a brief second, a flash of bitterness hit him. He wished with all his heart that he had received even a fraction of that from his own dad. If Dr. Sage Walters had given him even a single penny during his years of absolute horror and suffering, he wouldn't have had to beg for scraps or wear shoes with holes in them. Governor Delano was testing his daughter, but at least he was giving her a half-million-dollar safety net to catch her.Nathan pushed the bitter thoughts away. He wasn't that suffering kid anymore.A genuine, highly amused smile slowly spread across his face. This was the very first real smile he had given off since they met by the pool.He cracked his neck left, then right. He opened the digital keyboard on the screen.And then, Nathan began to type.He moved so incredibly fast that Nina could barely keep up with his thumbs. They were a complete blur. He didn't try to stop the rotating lock; instead, he bypassed the lock entirely by writing a rapid, custom script that
Chapter 69: The $500,000 Test
Nathan simply shook his head, keeping his face completely neutral as he took another sip of his champagne to hide his rapidly beating heart.Of course she recognized him!!!!!! The "chicken boy" who had completely disgraced himself in front of the entire world at the DemoDay had gone incredibly viral. His face had been plastered all over social media just a few weeks ago. He mentally cursed himself. He truly needed a haircut and a change of style if he was going to start interacting with high society."I'm not on TikTok," Nathan lied smoothly, not breaking eye contact. "I just have one of those faces. I just needed some time alone tonight. You know, from life. Stress. I don't do much.""Oh," Nina said, looking a bit disappointed but accepting his answer. "What do you do for work, then? To afford a place like this?""I'm just a novice hacker," Nathan shrugged casually. "I'm still learning, though. Doing some freelance work here and there to pay the bills. I could probably teach you a fe
Chapter 68: Jaded?
Nathan stared at the girl for a long moment.She was, without a single doubt, gorgeous. Her body was exactly what the internet would describe as "tea." She wore a simple, elegant dark swimsuit that contrasted beautifully with her glowing, caramel skin. The water from the pool reflected off her perfectly, highlighting the smooth, silky texture of her shoulders. Her black hair was thick and dark, cascading down her back like a midnight waterfall.But it wasn't her hair or her figure that made Nathan freeze. It was her eyes.They weren't your regular brown or black irises. They were a stunning, striking shade of green.Jade. Yes, that was the exact color. Jade green.Looking into her eyes, Nathan’s mind was suddenly violently pulled back to a very specific memory from his childhood. It was many, many years ago, back when he still lived in the grand Walters estate, long before his father had kicked him out to suffer on the ruthless streets.He remembered walking into his father’s private
