LOGINNathan’s P.O.V. (Continued)“That’s right, but he is not targeting you or your business ventures, Natha. Heaven’s Blessings also has a branch in the southern California, remember? And last year, you started an AI venture with New Horizon Technology. You won that bid, and for your information, Hawthorne Technology was one of other bidders for that project,” he reminded me, still pressing the fact that Jonathan Hawthorne is behind them, not me.I nodded while taking a deep breath. He is right.Hawthorne Empire also had business venture in both AI technology and Jewellery design. We crossed paths a few times during bidding for a few projects, but I didn’t remember facing any hurdle from the Hawthornes.“Jonathan Hawthorne is coming here next weekend to attend the bid for southern highway project. Try to get an appointment and hold a meeting with him. Whatever misunderstandings or grudges he has against you or anyone from your family can be solved if you two sit together and talk calmly.”
Nathan’s P.O.V. (Continued)“Do you really think that he can win her heart now when he couldn’t back then when he had all the time in the world?” I asked her sarcastically.“That was then, Nathan. His own stubbornness didn’t let him confess his love to Cynthia, but I had seen him looking at Cynthia. He has always been madly in love with her, and if Ms. Williams can stir your emotions, I am sure that he will surely show some interest in Ms. Williams too.” She wasn’t wrong and the worry in her voice was because of me.Just like a caring mother, she also wants to see me happy, and Ms. Williams gave her a hope that was shattered after Cynthia’s disappearance.“That boy is different from both his parents, Nathan. I don’t know from whom he took his arrogance and self-esteem, but he has changed a lot in the past seven years. I am afraid that he will either try to snatch her away from you, as he hates you from the bottom of his heart or he will do something to make Ms. Williams hate you.” I l
Nathan’ P.O.V.“The kid, Cole Williams. He is a genius, Mr. Lombart. He got full marks in his first exam. Out of curiosity, I took another exam of one level up, and he aced that exam too. It’s our good luck that we got a genius kid as our student.” The principal of the primary school where I arranged Cynthia’s nephew’s admission, Drake Bell, sang Cole’s praises while laughing wholeheartedly.I wasn’t surprised because I knew the academic performance of both his parents and also his aunt. Even his grandparents from both sides were scholars.“I am glad that you took him mid-semester, Mr. Bell.” I replied to him with a faint smile.“I sent you his exam sheets, Mr. Lombart. See for yourself.” He informed me with the same laughter.Getting a genius student is the basic desire of every school, as it brings both honor and more intelligent students to their schools.The competition among private and prestigious schools is not hidden from anyone.So, I knew why he was so happy.“I will ask my
Cythia’s P.O.V. (Continued)He grinned mischievously, showing me a toothy smile, but it only made my heart sunk a little. There was very little about Cynthia Lombart on the net.Cole had a knack of coding, and I know that he is a very curious child.But there is no way that he would do anything illegal, right?“I admitted th… that I browsed about them, and I really found nothing important, but you know that Mom loved watching Billionaire’s drama, right?” he answered mischievously.“O my, Cole!” I exclaimed aloud in relief, holding my chest tightly and glared hard at him in the end.He really scared me to death.“What did I do?” he asked me innocently, giving me a puppy look.I huffed and put my phone up again. So, he just added one plus one, and got the conclusion.I must say that he is a genius, but his maturity was way beyond his age.I looked up when they announced the take off and requested us to switch off our phones and fasten the seat belt.I immediately switched off my phone a
Cynthia’s P.O.V.“You need to take good care of yourself and Cynth, okay? You know very well how careless she is when it comes to her health and eating habits.” I glared at Juliette in disbelief while she continued instructing Cole in a stern voice.“I got this, Mom. You don’t worry.” Cole comforted her confidently and I put my hands on my hips angrily.“It should be my line, Cole, and Julie, it should be me comforting you about Cole,” I scolded both of them, but they just waved their hands at me in dismissal.“Jason.” I yelled while looking at him with a wronged expression; he chuckled and patted my shoulder with a sympathetic gaze.We heard the boarding announcement for our plane. I took a deep breath; my expression changed immediately.It was now the time to say goodbye to my family. I embraced Jason and closed my eyes. Ever since I woke up again after the accident, I have never thought about leaving Jason, my safe heaven.“I am always a call away from you, kiddo. Whenever you want
Lucas’s P.O.V.“I like Cynthia, Dad. She is beautiful and loving.” Celia said to me when I was tugging her inside the sheet.“She is, hun. Now be the good girl that you already are and sleep now.” I patted her cheek dotingly while coaxing her.“But you don’t like her, right?” she asked me again in a sleepy tone while pulling the sheet to her shoulders.I stiffened and pursed my lips into a thin line. “It… it’s not like I don’t like her, hun. She just reminded me of someone.” I replied to her truthfully, but my voice became low in the end.Celia was a keen observer and always noticed things that we usually don’t notice in normal circumstances.“About the lady whose photo you have in your wallet with me?” she asked and I felt a light squeeze in my chest.I kissed her forehead, avoiding answering her question. “Good night, sweetie.” I mumbled, still having my lips on her forehead.“Good night, Dad,” she mumbled, slipping into slumber.I adjusted the sheet on her body one more time and ch
