"Mom…you don't have to worry…I'll fix this"Nathan coaxed his mother, he didn't have to hide such a thing from her. It turned out she knew about this
"Son…we can't do anything…sooner or later we have to leave from here," his mom said calmly, and Nathan went silent. He very well knew how much the house meant to his momShe raised her children in the very same house. So much happened and now she was being forced to leave,"Please Nate…don't go out causing trouble" she added, placing her hand on his shoulder. Nathan had his back turned away however he felt his mother's warmth. Turning around, Nathan took his mom's hand. She smiled at him. Of course, she was good at hiding her emotions no matter how hurt she was"Mom…we can't just leave…even if others give in…I won't," he said, giving nothing away. This was important. After the incident with his father. His mom had been like this, calm. Someone would say way too calmly. She never showed any weakness which hurt him."She's powerful…as it is…the entire area isn't ours…we live here only by grace," his mom said lowering her gaze, Nathan reached for her face. Brushed a few strands of hair aside. His mom hadn't gotten on with age. She was still beautiful, her movements as graceful as before. Her illness had deducted a few strength from her but even so, his mom had a heart of gold"Even if that's the case…no one will ever take this away" Nathan coaxed smiling. In such a case he would act impulsively however now. He had to protect his family. That was important"Come on" his mom led him to sit down. Nathan carefully lowered onto the bed. It was morning, another day "let's just agree…we can't fight her…and her people ''she muttered hoping her son would understand. Nathan didn't utter a word. His mom was innocent. She was naive too. The same naivety which cost them a lot in her life. The same soft heart put her in trouble and now"Mom…I understand but this…"Nathan didn't even finish when he heard sounds coming from outside. Exchanging glances with his mom, both rushed out of the room and heard more screams. Nathan was the first one to rush down the stairs. More noises came from outside and pushing the door openThe scene which greeted him. Was frightening"Let her go!"He found several men mistreating his sisters."Stop it now!"Nathan growled and tried to stop the men from destroying things. "Brother help me!"Zoey shouted for help. Two men were holding her in place."Let her go…I'm warning you" he snarled when two large men grabbed him, preventing him from getting to his sister. The gate was broken. Uprooted from the ground. There was a bulldozer parked outside. Several men were destroying things and all he did was struggle to get free. His mom rushed forward however he gestured for her to stay backNo matter the desperation in her eyes, he didn't want her to jeopardize her health"Hold him"came to a male voice. Nathan's anger was something he didn't have control over. His eyes shone with rage as he fought to get free. Soon there was a man dressed in a white suit standing before him."Such a wild man…so you are the man refusing to leave from here," the man said, adjusting the large specs covering his face. Nathan scanned him and knew he would snap him in half and feed him to the dogs"Get out of here or so help me…I'll make you pay"Nathan growled. His eyes turned red from anger. The man with specs who was none other than Robert let out a sarcastic chuckle. Scanning his surroundings Robert fixed his suit."The lady wants this place…we gave everyone choices and they agreed…what makes you…so special huh," Robert said, finding the young man quite interesting. His men told him there was a wild man who threatened everyone not to do anything. "I'm bored…call your little boss here," Nathan said lazily, his tone nonchalant as he looked at the petite man before him. He had to say for a powerful lady like Laura, she had a bad taste when it came to choosing her lap dogs"Interesting…it seems you want us…to waste our time here," Robert said walking in front of a fuming Nathan. He was intrigued by the young man. So ferocious,"I use fists...if you all want to get out of here in one piece…call the bitch here," Nathan said, his eyes narrowed shrewdly that even his mother and sisters were shocked at his behaviour. He was held captive yet he was acting like he was the boss. Zoey tried her eye tricks to keep Nathan shut however he was already in a killing mood. Adeline looked at her mom and a man was standing in front of her.. pleading with her eyes for her son to be pardoned"Such disrespect….do you even know who you are insulting!"Robert snarled and surprisingly Nathan started laughing like a mad man. The people around were shocked "Tell your little boys to get their filthy hands…off my sisters" Nathan warned, his expression morphed into a monstrous one. Anyone would adhere immediately however Robert, moved closer to him"What can a worthless person like you do huh" Robert whispered sarcastically and what he followed after was unpleasant"H-how…how dare you" Robert stammered holding his chest area. Closing his eyes, blood trickled from his nose. He was kicked in the gut and landed on the pavement. "Now…let's see…who wants their bones broken first? ''Nathan said, scanning his prey, his eyes narrowed into slits as the huge men started advancing. Robert crawled away from the dangerous scenery about to unfold. The man looked like a beast. He knew any better than. To call his boss to handle the matter.***
Meanwhile, Laura was in a conference room filled with the board of directors. The men and women sat gracefully, as quiet as the entire room was, her eyes darted around. Scanning the shrewd men around her. After coming to the office. She was likely to hold an important meeting"What's the meaning of this?"Laura asked, suppressing anger. The men had their heads bowed, none made a sound nor did anyone dare to look up. Even her brother sat quietly"Who gave you the rights…to make decisions in my absence!" she yelled, accompanied by a slam of her hand on the table, startling everyone, her voice was low, but carried authority, "very well since none of you wants to talk…how about we make some changes around her," Laura said, adjusting her coat. The men and women glanced up and saw a frightening woman. "Since all of…" she started saying, however, the door burst open, and slammed against the wall with so much impact that everyone turned to see who wanted to die early in the morning. Shifting her gaze towards the door. Laura's eyes narrowed wondering who the young man was and why he wanted to die"And who are you?" she asked, tapping her fingers on the table. The raging man glaring at her didn't seem so friendly"Young man…kindly leave, "one of the board members said turning to the man disrespecting their boss. The fear in their hearts knowing their boss was already in a bad moodSeeing how composed she was, her actions tended to be unpredictable "Today…you'll meet your end witch!"Nathan growled and took out a whip. His eyes fixed on the enemy. Laura was stunned at such aggression, such arrogance.Laura Had never seen such aggression from a man. Certainly not in her presence. Such disrespect from a random good-for-nothing little boy"Stop him now!"The d men around who couldn't fight him off shouted for the countless security guards who rushed in to stop the man"You think I'm scared of a witch like you!"The man growled snapping the dangerous whip in his hand like it were nothing..Laura retreated to a corner, shielding her face with her hands "Today. I show you not to toy with people!"Nathan snarled, striking the flexible line on the table hard. The men and women scattered. The black hunting whip combined had a stock with a firm flexible lash. Deadly at best. With each stroke on the table, the men shivered. was he crazy as to beat a woman?How crazy!The monstrous young man taking predatory steps toward their boss"We'll see bitch…how dare you try to take our homes!"Nathan roared. His body hitched muscularly. Laura swallowed hard. Her back connected with the cold wall, and a s
Nathan's eyes narrowed, and his expression darkened. He presumed it was another dayUnlike most times. Carl didn't dare release him. He stayed in the cell the entire night. Who knew what his family was going through in his absenceHe didn't trust those people one bit"T-tell me…how is Mom…did something happen…tell me, "Nathan said calmly, gripping the metal bars tightly. He was desperate to know. Carl was hesitant to say anything which bothered him greatly"You should ask forgiveness the minute lady Laura steps her feet here, "Carl remarked, glancing up at Nathan. The only way for him to know if his family was okay… was by getting out"That's not my concern damn it…how is Mom…my sisters …did…"Nathan was desperate to know how his mom was doing."She's not well… your mom and your sisters…came last night," Carl said lowering his gaze, Nathan's eyes widened. His heart raced"Then does…""It's all over the news okay…I warned you to mind whom you pick a fight with…Lady Laura pressed charges
"You dare!"Nathan growled and struggled to free his hands. His eyes shot with venom seeing how the woman was getting on his nerves. Seeing this Laura smirked."Flog him… break his bones…make sure he bleeds to death…if not then…all of you will suffer?" like a queen Laura gave her final word. Carl nodded and took the whip himself. Standing before a raging Nathan. He knew this was for the best...lady Laura had the final sayNathan didn't argue. His sharp eyes fixed on Laura sitting on the chair again. If looks could kill then Carl was certain the lady would have died. Nathan had never laid his hands on a woman beforeWho knew what he was thinking when he nearly killed LauraWith each strike, the pain burned in his mind before it was even over. Nathan stood still. His hands restrained. The sound each time it landed on his back felt like the plank was being hit against the wall. Tearing across his back as blood trickled downNathan stayed put, his eyes turning red with each strike. Carl st
"What! Laura, are you insane!" As expected her family was shocked to hear what she had to say. Laura sat elegantly with her eyes fixed on her laptop screen. Her dear mother, little sister, and little brother stood before her. Shocked with the latest news she just gave them"Sis… what's all this''Jeremy, her 30 years old brother said giving her a suspicious look. Laura exhaled heavily and shoved the laptop off her lap. "You can't be serious Laura… marriage? It sounds ridiculous" this time it was her little sister Camila who said. Laura scanned her family from head to toe. The only one missing was Trent. Her dear uncle"We talked about this… are you going to bring another man here… oh goodness wake up Laura!" her mother said dramatically. Laura didn't mind as she listened to their opinions. She just told them about her soon-to-be wedding. Yes, she was getting a husband for herself. Smiling at them Laura picked up a glass of juice and took a sip. "Since when did your opinion matter?"
"Hold still damn it"Carl snarled when Nathan didn't sit still but kept moving and throwing tantrums. Of course, Nathan was bound to be angryThe wounds on his back were nothing compared to what lady Laura did. She trampled over his dignity and pride as a man"That witch is asking for it… don't blame me later" if she wanted, she could ruin the world for all she cared. "Stop it okay… this is nothing compared to what she can do… Nate for once stop being stubborn"Carl tried to reason with Nathan. He was as stubborn as hell. "Do you think I'm a toy… what sort of rubbish, if you are her lap dog I'm not"Nathan snapped, he hated that woman and after what she said to him. His hatred for her was even stronger"Is this about the marriage proposal… Why not agree to it? "Carl said and patched up Nathan's back? He would be in pain for a few days. The wounds were deep however Nathan didn't seem to mind"Are you insane… do I look desperate"Nathan now knew Carl was a confused man. How could he say s
"Mom… you don't have to do this okay?"Nathan said, scratching the back of his head. It was another day. He didn't sleep as lovely as he normally did and it was all thanks to lady Laura"I would have loved to give it to her myself… unfortunately the doctor said I need to rest, "his mom said innocently. Nathan was trapped. He woke up early so he could do some work. But now his mom was giving him things to do"She's not a good woman… Why did you trouble yourself… keep this food and flowers here" Nathan said and prepared to leave when his mom stopped him. Turning around Nathan was helpless"Nate… lady Laura is a good woman… she pardoned us… she didn't take our home okay," his mom said cheerfully. Nathan hated to say no to her. However, he was in a hurry to meet one of his friends. The day was crispy. After so much drama, he wanted to loosen up"I don't think so… mom just don't ask me this"Nathan said running his fingers in his hair. His mom was asking him to take the special food she prep
"Why do I feel like… you are that witch…who doesn't want young men to live?"Nathan asked sarcastically, Laura scoffed and shoved a black file at him. Nathan scanned it with vivid eyes. How did he get himself in such a messOf all men in the world, the witch targeted him"Look here… the scene with Harris and Carter… have you forgotten?"Laura said, getting up from her chair. Crossing his legs, Nathan picked up the file "they want to sue you… make you rot in prison" Laura added and half sat on the desk. Nathan flipped the pages from the fail. His eyes narrowed suspiciously"I saved you, Nathan… I shut those old men up with just the snap of my fingers" Laura said, snapping her fingers. Nathan glanced up and met with the lady's mocking gaze. Shifting from side to side. Laura smirked pridefully"Is this how you trap all men… everyone knows what you do… marry men they die… or are you bored of old men and want fresh blood? "Nathan said, glaring at her. Laura let out a mocking chuckle and clim
The Larson family was getting ready to meet the man Laura said she was going to marry.Jeremy was agitated as he paced around in his room. The entire week he had been wondering. Putting little pieces together to solve the puzzle"Could it be… that old fool!"Jeremy muttered, clenching his hands tightly. He didn't know who his sister was marrying this time. She was better off alone. These men she wanted were only after her moneyThinking up here. Jeremy would wait to meet the man. Dinner has been prepared. Leaving his room, he met Camila on his way downstairs"Bro let's just hope it's that old fool," Camila said as they walked towards the stairs. She wasn't going to allow some other men to take advantage of her sister. Laura may be older and more knowledgeable, however, when it came to men she was naive"Let's hope…where's mom?"Jeremy asked wondering if his mom managed to get the money back from her club"Already downstairs… supervising… it's a shame… the so-called son-in-law won't joi
