Nathan ordered two extra vanilla ice creams, one for himself and one for the woman. He walked towards her, and the moment she noticed the boy beside Nathan, she gently pulled him to the side.

“Please air, don't pick an offence, if my son must have bothered you, He’s just hungry, that’s why,” the woman apologised, her voice trembling.

She saw her son with the ice-cream and she knew he didn't have money to buy something like that, so she assumed that he must have taken it forcefully from Nathan or might have begged for it.

“No, it’s nothing,” Nathan replied, gently shaking his head with a grin.

“Here, have this,” he insisted softly, handing the ice cream he had bought to the woman.

The woman stared at it as if she had never tasted such a thing before. Though she always bought ice cream for her son—who seemed to love it so much, even if it cost her the very last of her money—she herself had never once tasted it.

The woman took it from his hands, hesitated for some seconds before licki

  • Leonard Predatory Instinct

    Laura was certain of what she had done. She didn’t know if Nathan must have already discovered that she had planted a tracker on him the day she made an encounter with him. “I hate that bastard, playing smart on me isn't the best thing to do, but too sorry that I would be the one facing the brutal consequences,” Laura gritted her teeth.After some hours, Laura sat in her room, going through files that contained the Sinclair family asset, searching for any clue about Nathan and how he had gained such an ability to survive a gun shot to his head. But just then… a knock broke the silence as it echoed from the door.“Ma’am, your father wants to see you,” a security guard's voice sounded from outside the door before walking away.The moment Laura heard the word from the security guard, her heart sinked, tightened with weight and pressure, as if the blood flowing into it had been suddenly blocked before it could spread through her body.“He’s back already…” she muttered inwardly, eyes wid

  • Leading Them To Their Doom!

    Henry shifted his gaze to Nathan, who was sitting beside him, he then took a deep breath, laced with panic before speaking. . “The day you saw Sophia, did anything unusual happen? Did she know you were the one?”Nathan was too ashamed to answer the question straight. He couldn’t just admit that he had slept with Sophia, so he found it difficult to speak, not because he can't but because he doesn't want to. Nathan only sat there, staring, unable to form words in his mouth. “Shit…” Henry cursed inwardly, he knew Nathan had fucked things up again. He then reached for the drawer and brought out an object. It looked like a glove—mechanical in design.He slipped it onto his hands, then used it to scan Nathan’s body. That was when he noticed something stuck to Nathan’s chest. It was so small, the human eye would barely be able to detect it, and thanks to the artificial blue light from the glove, which could see micro objects.“This object… It's a tracker. When attached to the body, even

  • She's Stuck In My Head

    Any time Nathan closed his eyes, it felt like Laura was right beside him, breathing softly on his lips, and this sensation was already getting him to lose his mind. “Fuck…”Nathan shouted, gritting his teeth as he bolted upright. “I can’t believe that witch is getting into my head again. After all she’s done to me, I can’t be that foolish to love her again.”Nathan struggled inwardly with the choice, but nevertheless he can't fight it. Moments later, Nathan was seated, and beside Henry stood a tall table with some medical tools and equipment arranged in role. “Why do you need all this?” Nathan asked, staring at Henry, but Henry only grinned faintly. “It’s all for you,” Henry replied calmly. “I want to check a few things about you. I think it’s the right time to show you what you’re really capable of. With these tools here, we can get a deeper insight on what you are actually made for, and this would answer the question you have long waited for.”Nathan only stared, uncertain of H

  • The Touch Of Relief

    The next morning, Nathan’s eyes gradually opened, and to his greatest surprise, he saw Laura seated on the bed, staring at him. Her face was pale, her brows drawn into a frown, and beneath that frown was controlled anger mixed with confusion.Nathan was shocked, sat frozen on the couch as he stared at Laura. “How did I get here? And why are you in the same room with me?” Laura began to panic.She was stunned, the very man she had been sent to kill, the very man that had caused her father to seize the asset she controlled of the Sinclair family, was the one who had just had sex with her. She could remember that overwhelming sensation last time but she couldn't figure out who she was making out with. Laura's rage skyrockets, but all she could do was pull the bedsheet tightly around herself to cover her nakedness.“You bastard! Talk to me! How did I end up having sex with you? I was supposed to hunt you down and kill you—how did you worm your way into me?”Laura’s first instinct was to

  • She Seduce Him

    Nathan, who was trying to avoid any casualties from Laura, stood up and was about to walk out of the bar, but in that same instant, Laura collapsed to the ground unconscious, vomiting everything she had consumed.“Shit…” Nathan quickly rushed toward her and tried to lift her up from the ground, but her vomit spilled all over his clothes.“Fuck…” Nathan muttered under his breath.He couldn’t just leave her there. He had to help her—maybe get her a hotel where she could spend the night, or probably get her some medication, but it wasn't a serious case, just a reaction to the over intake of alcohol. “Ooh, another one fainting again,” the waitress who had offered Nathan drinks earlier, passed by as she said casually, as if this was something they always dealt with everyday in the bar.She then paused, then shifted her gaze to Nathan. “Sir, I saw you come here alone, and it looks like you don’t even know her. Just leave her on the desk, and when she wakes up in the morning, she’ll go ba

  • Love And Drunkeness

    The woman who looked so much like Laura was badly drunk as well and it looks like she had been in the bar since before Nathan stepped in. Her head tilted downward as though burdened by something, as if she had come to the bar to clear her mind.Suddenly, she gradually raised her head, and her gaze caught Nathan who was about to leave. He quickly pulled his eyes away, but she had already seen him, and this made him adjust himself, relaxing back on his seats, trying to fake out a pretense, making it not seem awkward. This made Nathan very curious, and he wanted to leave in that instant, he stared around, looking for an opening to exit but the place was somewhat crowded. And if he didn't leave, he would only mess everything up. On the other hand, Nathan was still on a slightly saver side because of the nose mask he was wearing, so Laura wouldn't still fully recognise who he was, this alone gave him a little relief to remain calm.“I have to keep up with this act, so she won’t suspect I
