Rachel had been working hard since the day of that incident, trying to ensure that nothing would make him feel sad. She knew there was a chance that people would take advantage of the situation and want to make everything look terrible. “I know there has to be a reason for everything, but for him to be seen facing someone like that, it means there has to be a way for me to put everything together.” Her mind was scattered, it was in a haze, and nothing was coming through. “If you don't know what to do, then you should take a break.” Rachel turned to the door to see Elena seeing her smile, it was like she was standing there to encourage her. “Elena…” Rachel had a smile on her face. It wasn't clear what Elena was doing there, but she knew it was going to be better with her coming there. “It is good to see you here, and I can see that you're doing well.” Elena walked in, and there was a clear smile on her face, showing that she was relieved to see her there. Rachel was looking a

Nathan was looking at Ben, and he knew that there was no way for him to be lying about anything like that. But then he could only wonder what would have made Cruz even think of going to their house for something like that.“So tell me,” Nathan was looking at Ben, confused, but he wasn't going to let anything hold him back from asking a question. “Why did that man choose your house as the first place to head to?” He was looking at the old man, he knew that there was something he could bring out of him. “I don't know, when he came to the house, it looked like he had something in mind to do, but then I didn't let any of them make a deal with him.” Ben spoke, looking down with a sour look on his face. “That man looks like the devil, and I would rather swim in an ocean filled with sharks than make a deal with the devil.” Nathan was looking at Ben; he couldn't tell what he was going to believe, but he knew better than to let something like that move him. He let out a sigh, knowing

There was no way for Nathan to overlook certain things; he knew that it was going to come down to him doing things for himself one way or the other, but he was going to have to find out what to do with Cruz. "I understand that they are trying to be helpful in any way that they can for me, but this isn't going to be the best way for me to even get anything done." He thought to himself as he walked out of the room, he had in his hands a file that would have given him all the possible information he needed to know what he would be doing next about Cruz. "Thank you, Carl." He muttered as he looked into the file. He wasn't going to stand there and let someone make his life a living hell just because there were things he didn't want to do. "I sincerely don't know what this idiot is trying to do.” Nathan was looking at the plans that Carl had crafted Cruz was trying to use them. On looking at the plans, he saw what he had crafted out. Nathan knew that there was going to be a chance tha

The chief of police was in his office when Detective Darwin, a man placed to keep tabs on Nathan walked in with a worried look. It was clear that he was thinking that Nathan was the one that did it. ”I don't know what I am going to say but it is clear that this has something to do with the fact that he is in this city, I know you might think it is far-fetched but look at this.” Darwin was restless, he had not found anything to put Nathan on the front of the page but it was clear that he knew something and the thing he knew was what had the city in terror. The Chief looked at him and scratched his head, he knew that there was something he could not even understand or even fathom if there was a possibility that he was going to say. “I know you think that this might be his doing but I want to urge you to calm down in the meantime and know that I am going to be doing anything possible to make sure that there is no problem.” The Chief was only protecting his officer knowing who he was t

“I don't know what you think you were thinking,” Elena said, looking at Liu, who had given her the heads up about Nathan’s situation. “As bad as it is, we don't know what that rat Cruz is plotting, you are telling him not to worry much? Are you even okay?” She was looking at him, a bit surprised to hear that Liu was trying to calm Nathan down so he wouldn't attack Cruz for now and risk anything else. “We saw what that bastard could do and the way he was trying to make sure that Nathan would get a bad wrap, and he was almost successful the last time.” Liu was looking at Elena, he knew what she was trying to make sure that they would avoid, but it wasn't going to be ideal if they kept lying to themselves that Nathan was going to be okay, handling all those things by himself. “I know you understand what I am trying to do here, there is no way for Nathan to handle all those things alone and still be normal.” Liu could see what was going to happen if Nathan was left to handle everythi

Cruz was looking at Ben, he was silent, and there was no way anyone could have imagined that someone would be able to see through his act like that. He was looking at the man, and a smile was still on his face. There was no telling what he would have done to even look at someone who would stand the idea of questioning him like that. "If you must know, I don't like him and I want him to suffer as much as possible, so if you have a problem with that, then I am sorry to tell you that your sob story isn't going to cut anything for me." Cruz was looking at Ben, he was bound to think that there was something he would shake out of him, but nothing was going to come out of that encounter. "I want to ask you now, will you help me get what I want, or are you going to let your family fall apart?" Ben smiled. He turned to the little table beside him, taking a bottle of whiskey there. "You know, children like you are the reason parents often have migraines." Cruz rolled his eyes. he had gotte

Ben was looking at Cruz, his blood boiled as he looked at the man. He wanted to hold him and strangle him for the chaos he had brought to the house. "You bastard!" He got up from his chair, walking to Cruz, who seemed to have a smile on his face. "What in the world do you think you are doing here?" Cruz tilted his head as he looked at the man, still smiling. "Me? Well, let's say I want to make sure that nothing is going to happen to your daughter, and I would want to make sure you would be informed." "Did we ask you for information?! You just showed up from nowhere, trying to cause trouble here!" Ben was looking at Cruz as he yelled his heart out; he wasn't going to let him stay there any longer. Ben pointed to the door, looking at the man, he wasn't going to have anything like an insult any longer. "Leave this place!" Cruz was looking at the old man in front of him, who had a smile on his face. "So you are rejecting my help?" He smiled as he walked past Ben, walking to the mid

The Martins were looking at Cruz like they had seen a fool enter their house, and they did nothing to stop him. "Who in the world do you think you are?" Luke walked up to Cruz, and he was looking at the man, and he wasn't going to be letting someone like that come into their home and give them a headache. "Young man, I would advise you to stay away and make sure that you won't come close to me." Cruz was looking at the young man as he walked closer to him. Luke noticed that the man wasn't someone he would be able to handle, and he had already crossed the line with him. "So tell me, are you going to finish what you started?" Cruz was looking at Luke; he wanted to see if he would be brave enough to do something that stupid, but then it looked like he was not going to be able to handle what was going on. Luke took a step back. He was looking at Cruz, seeing that the man in front of him was a crazy one, and if they made a mistake, it would mean that he was going to lose something. "

If there was anything that Nathan wanted to avoid aside from the spotlight, it was the fact that he would need to be protecting the people he cares about dearly at all times. "Liu, isn't there a way for me to make sure that they wouldn't be going for Rachel soon? Those people are relentless," Nathan was looking at the ceiling, they were thinking of ideas to make sure that they would not let anything happen to Rachel or Elena. Liu was going through everything he had, and he was not seeing an opening that would let him see something. "I don't know Nathan, the reporters are on your tail, and another thing is that your wife's identity was somehow leaked." Liu turned to Nathan, he was not sure if he was going to like what he had to tell him. "Cruz must have used it to his advantage after your fight with him at the Petoria Gala, he is not going to let you get far from him in any way." Nathan rolled his eyes. He knew that Cruz was someone stupid, but for him to do that meant that he was
