Accept Me, Again!

“Nat…… Nat….. help…. Help.” I heard her screaming while looking around frantically. Nathan wanted to go to her immediately and pulled her in his embrace to make her feel safe but his feet were completely struck in thick mud, and he felt like drowning deeper with every passing second.“Don’t panic, Cynthia…. Don’t panic… I am coming,” he yelled at the top of his lungs while trying hard to pull himself out of the pool of mud, and his attempts were futile. His feet were mired in thick, unyielding mud, preventing him from reaching her.She was sitting on the ground, completely out of strength. Her eyelids were heavy, but she forced them to stay open. “I am coming to you, love… I am coming to you… ju… just don’t sleep,” Nathan yelled when he saw exhaustion taking over her mind and body.At the same time, some howling dark shadows started approaching her. “Don’t you dare touch her.” Nathan roared at them, threatening them in the process, but all of them snickered while showing their dirty t

No one’s P.O.V.All the reporters continued clicking their cameras furiously as soon as a black limited-edition Maybach stopped right in front of the carpet.The excitement and anxiety had filled the surroundings.The valet immediately stepped forward and opened the back doors on both sides. A shining black leather shoes came out of the car, followed by a long leg clad in a black pant. The reporters felt another wave of excitement cursing through their veins.Nathan got off the car, asserting his dominance over the scene and straightened his suit jacket while standing tall. He extended his hand towards the car, and they saw a slender and fair hand covered in a net glove taking his hand.Nathan helped the lady come out of the car, and reporters got excited when they saw a stunning figure of a women in a royal blue off shoulder gown standing next to Nathan after coming out. The gown had a high slit on her right leg, putting her slender and long leg with high heels on display.Nathan was

Nathan’s P.O.V. (Continued)I only took a few seconds to come back in the same stoic demeanour that I always had during a business conversation like this.“I appreciate that you trust me enough to give this opportunity to me to prove why you should agree to work with me, Mr. Silva.” I replied to him calmly, keeping that very faint smile on my lips.He smiled widely and gave me a curt nod before looking back at Cynthia again.Cynthia also smiled back at him, and then we proceeded with the main topic.I explained my terms on this acquisition briefly to him while trying to make him understand why he chose me instead of Lucas.He said that in a way both of us are alike.I didn’t want to dwell on this point, but I guess he also faced a situation like a face-off with Lucas I had been facing Still, I was glad that he chose me, or else I wouldn’t have found Cynthia sitting in front of me.To my dismay, she always had that professional expression on her face all the time when I conversed with

Nancy’s P.O.V. “What did you say?” I asked Chris, shocked by what he replied to my request for a meeting with Nathan.“You heard me perfectly fine, Ms. Winters. You don’t have any direct business with Mr. Lombart. And all your professional matters are handled by your managers and assistant. So, if there is something that needs Mr. Lombart’s attention, ask your manager or assistant to request an appointment. Mr. Lombart doesn’t think that your direct involvement is necessary.”I knew that Nathan would refuse to meet me, but this bluntness from Chris was unexpected.I stomped my foot in a fit of rage and stormed away.In the past five years, I understood Chris very well. That man was immune to almost everything. The only person who can make him bend is Nathan.So, it was futile to argue with him. It would only escalate my blood pressure, nothing else.I walked onto the escala

Nathan’s P.O.V. (Continued) She gulped hard before looking back at me.“Ms. Williams entered our store first and was browsing when Ms. Winters entered. Everything was…. Was okay at first, but things started heating up when Ms. Winters demanded that Ms. Williams to give up on a dress that Ms. Williams was about to purchase. When…. When Ms. Williams politely declined, Ms. Winters started yelling at her, calling her names, an… and started accusing her f… for seducing me… men.”“It’s not like that, Nathan. She is lying.” Nancy shouted, but I sensed panic in her voice.I glared at her, making her cower immediately.I took a few deep breaths and looked at Cynthia, who still had a grim expression on her face.“Ms. Williams, I.” She raised her hand to stop me as her eyes were now glued on Nancy.“Ms. Winters. I don’t remember meeting y
