Nathan walked slowly ahead, confidently. I followed, my heart racing with each step, but my mind was blank. Behind us, I could hear Carlos’ voice rising, desperate and furious.
“Mel! Mel, wait!” Carlos shouted, his voice cutting through the noise of the street.
I kept moving, refusing to look back. I wasn’t going to give him the satisfaction of turning around. Not after what he did.
Suddenly, I felt a force tugging at my arm, and I stumbled slightly. Carlos had caught up, his grip tight and desperate. “Mel, please - -”
Before he could finish, one of Nathan’s guards, who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, stepped in with lightning speed. The guard grabbed Carlos by the shoulder, pulling him back with surprising strength, his expression cold and unflinching.
“Let her go,” the guard said firmly, his voice low but commanding.
Carlos struggled for a moment, his eyes wide with frustration and anger, but he was no match for the guard’s strength. “Get your hands off me! This is between me and her!” Carlos shouted, but his protests fell on deaf ears.
Pachi, who had been watching from the doorway, rushed over, his face filled with concern. He grabbed Carlos by the arm, pulling him back further. “Carlos, let it go!” Pachi begged, his voice strained. “You’re only making this worse. Don’t do something you’ll regret.”
Nathan had already opened the door of his car for me, waiting with an air of calm detachment. I took another deep breath and stepped toward the car.
Before getting in, I stole one last look at Carlos. His face was twisted with anger and helplessness as Pachi held him back, but I didn’t let it affect me. He had made his choices, and now I was making mine.
I lowered myself into the car, and the moment I slid into the seat, I was struck by how luxurious it was. The smooth leather, the pristine dashboard, the sleek design, it was a Benz, and it was the most beautiful car I had ever seen.
Nathan’s office was a masterpiece of luxury. Everything in the office showed taste and class. I concluded he must be from a very rich family. Every detail is meticulously crafted to reflect power and prestige. I couldn’t help but be in awe as Nathan gestured for me to follow him inside.
“Welcome to my humble abode,” he said with a wry smile, his eyes twinkling with amusement. “Let me get some paperwork sorted out, and we will be on our way.”
Nathan had asked that we come to the office before he took me to his planned venue for a little getaway.
I had a plan, one that involved surprising him with a lap dance he wouldn’t soon forget. As we settled into the room, my mind raced with the details of my scheme.
“I was actually hoping to show you something,” I said, my voice mixed with playful anticipation.
Nathan chuckled. “Oh really? And what might that be?”
“Just a little something special and exotic,” I replied, trying to sound casual while my heart pounded in my chest. “I thought it might be fun.”
He raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued but amused. “Last time you tried something like this, let’s just say it didn’t quite go as planned. You remember, right?”
I bit my lip, remembering the awkwardness of our previous encounter. “Yes, I remember,” I said, trying to hide my embarrassment. “But I’m sure this will be different.”
Nathan laughed, shaking his head. “Nope, can do. Why don’t you freshen up a bit? We’ve got a dinner to catch.
I felt a rush of heat at his words. He was so close, his scent intoxicating, and all I wanted was to be closer to him. “Sure, I’ll just... use the restroom first,” I said, trying to keep my voice steady.
Nathan gestured towards a discreet door at the corner of the office. “It’s right there. Take your time.”
As I walked toward the door, I glanced back at Nathan. His eyes were focused on some papers on his desk, giving me the perfect opportunity to execute my plan. Once inside the restroom, I took a deep breath, my mind racing with excitement.
I quickly washed and changed into my lingerie, the soft fabric feeling like a second skin. I applied a touch of perfume, hoping to add a final layer of allure to my surprise. The anticipation was electric, and I could hardly wait to see Nathan’s reaction.
With a final check in the mirror, I took a moment to compose myself. Ready to make my entrance, I stepped out of the restroom, my body alive with the promise of what was to come.
Nathan was still focused on his work as I looked for the switch and turned off the lights, plunging the room into a dim blue glow. I started music on my phone, the slow, seductive rhythm filling the space. Moving with deliberate grace, I approached Nathan, my hips swaying in time with the beat.
My bra was a shallow-cupped bra that exposed most of my boobs to the nipple area while my pantyhose was lightly held by a thin g-string. I was as sexy as I could be.
I carefully placed myself on his lap, my body brushing against his. The sensation was electrifying, a mix of excitement and fear as I began to grind gently, every motion intended to captivate and seduce.
I felt a little uneasy because Nathan’s well-structured and fitted body now looked frail and soft. I thought maybe he was tired and maybe if I loosened myself a bit more.
But just as I began to lose myself at the moment, the lights blazed on with a sudden intensity, shattering the intimate atmosphere. My heart lurched as I looked up.
At first, it was difficult to see, but then it slowly became clear. Nathan was standing by the door, his expression a mixture of confusion and shock. So who was I dancing for?
“What’s going on here?” Nathan’s voice cut through the haze of music, his tone demanding and authoritative.
I froze, my heart pounding in my chest. The realization hit me like a ton of bricks, Nathan wasn’t the one sitting in the chair. The man I had been dancing for, the one whose lap I was sitting on, was not him. My eyes darted around the room, trying to make sense of the situation.
The man I had been so intimate with was now watching us with wide eyes, his face a mask of surprise and discomfort. My cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and I scrambled off his lap, stumbling slightly as I stood up.
“I - - I’m so sorry,” I stammered, my voice barely a whisper. “I thought... I thought you were someone else.”
Nathan’s gaze shifted from me to the man, his eyes narrowing slightly. “And what exactly were you planning to do?” he asked, his voice cold and controlled.
“I - -” I began, but the words caught in my throat. “I was just trying to surprise Nathan with a dance. I didn’t know - -”
The man I had been dancing for, stood up, his face a mixture of confusion and mild irritation. “I think there’s been a mistake,” he said.”
Nathan’s eyes were locked on me, his expression unreadable. “It seems there’s been a significant misunderstanding,” he said, his tone firm. “If you wanted to perform, you should have made sure you had the right audience.”
“I’m sorry,” I repeated, my voice trembling. “I’ll just... I’ll leave.”
“No you are not leaving,” Nathan said, his voice very firm. Turning to the man in his seat, “Steve, please you can leave my office. Never you come into my office in my absence,”
I was so embarrassed that I needed to leave to hide my shame. “I didn’t think you had left the office, I... I didn’t know, please who was that?” I asked, not certain that he would answer me.
“That’s Steve my younger brother, please put on your clothes, and let's leave.” He said with a firm, commanding voice.
I was about to put on my clothes when someone flung open the door with such force that my shock almost took me to the floor.
“Who the hell is this slut, Nathan?” She asked.
Everything had settled into place like the final pieces of a grand puzzle. What once felt like an insurmountable storm had passed, leaving behind a new world, one where Nathan remained the undisputed king, but this time, with order and stability.I had been called back to school, a sign that my life was finally returning to normal, or at least something close to it. The weight of uncertainty that had once loomed over me had lifted, replaced by a newfound sense of freedom and direction. Katrina had received 30% of all the clubs and hotels I owned as per the agreement, securing her future and allowing her to walk away from the chaos without regrets.Nathan, ever the strategist, had made swift work of tying up loose ends. With Don Chappo’s assistance, he had not only removed every trace of the gang that had threatened our lives but had also found a way to put Carlos to good use. Carlos had been given a fresh start—an actual career, a legitimate one—working under Nathan and Don Chappo’s g
The boardroom was thick with tension. Every eye was on Nathan, Alex Sommer, Steve, and Uncle Jesse as the battle for control of Cain Corporation reached its climax.Alex Sommer, ever the smooth talker, stood up, adjusting his perfectly tailored suit with an air of confidence. He glanced around the room and smirked, his voice dripping with condescension."None of this matters," he declared, his eyes locking on Nathan. "You can throw all the accusations you want, but it's not enough to stop the change of leadership. The majority of the shares are in my control now. That is all that matters."Blake, Nathan’s sharp and calculating lawyer, was quick to respond. He stood with an easy grace, his expression unreadable."Tell me, Alex," Blake began, "is fraud, not enough grounds to stop another fraud?"Alex narrowed his eyes, shifting his weight slightly."What are you implying?"Blake’s gaze swept the room, ensuring that every board member was listening before he continued."The very people w
The tension in the boardroom was suffocating. The air was thick with silent power plays, unspoken accusations, and the weight of the decision that would determine the fate of Cain Corporation. Nathan sat at the head of the table, his posture calm but commanding, his piercing eyes scanning the room. He wasn’t here to beg, he was here to remind them exactly who he was.My only fear was that I hoped he knew the game he was playing. A lot of things don’t favour him at the moment, but I think he can appeal to the Board members so that they can stand by him. A lot of them worshipped him, yet this was a tough call.Uncle Jesse cleared his throat and leaned forward, resting his elbows on the polished mahogany table. He clasped his hands together in a gesture of authority before addressing the board members."Ladies and gentlemen," he began, his voice smooth and practised, "we have gathered here today for an important matter, one that affects the very future of this company." He took a moment t
As we stepped into the office, a hushed tension blanketed the room. It was as if everyone had already caught wind of the chaos unfolding behind closed doors. Employees who normally went about their business were suddenly stealing glances at us, some filled with curiosity, others with thinly veiled concern.Nathan walked beside me, his expression unreadable, his steps measured and confident. I, on the other hand, could feel the weight of every stare pressing into my back. This wasn’t just another board meeting. This was a battle. A battle for control, for power, for survival.Blake was the first to greet us, standing just outside the boardroom with an air of quiet authority. He gave us a tight-lipped smile, his eyes scanning Nathan’s face for any signs of hesitation.“They’re waiting for you,” he said in a low voice. “Uncle Jesse, Steve, Alex… they’re all inside. They’ve wasted no time.”Nathan let out a quiet chuckle, shaking his head. “Of course they haven’t.”Blake’s expression hard
The soft morning light filtered through the curtains of Nathan’s penthouse, casting long golden streaks across the room. I stirred beneath the silk sheets, the warmth of last night’s intimacy still lingering on my skin. For the first time in what felt like forever, I had slept soundly, wrapped in Nathan’s arms. But as I opened my eyes, the weight of reality crashed back onto my shoulders.Nathan was already up, standing by the window with his phone pressed to his ear. His posture was tense, his back rigid as he listened intently to whoever was on the other end of the line. I could only catch snippets of the conversation.“…Yes. Make sure it’s all filed before the meeting… No, I don’t care what Alex Sommer thinks he’s planning,” He paused, exhaling sharply before adding, “Just do it.”I sat up slowly, watching him as he ended the call and turned around. His piercing eyes met mine, but they weren’t filled with the warmth I had seen last night. Instead, they were sharp and calculating. H
As the warm water cascaded over my body, I let out a deep sigh, letting the steam wrap around me like a comforting embrace. The tension of the past days had been suffocating, and for the first time in a while, I allowed myself to relax.I ran my hands through my hair, washing out the last traces of soap, my eyes closed as I let the water cleanse not just my body, but my mind as well. When I finally opened them, my breath hitched.Nathan stood before me.He was completely bare, his chiselled form illuminated by the dim, misty light of the bathroom. Droplets of water clung to his skin, accentuating every curve of his muscles. His deep blue eyes held mine, dark with something I couldn’t quite name, something raw, something undeniable.For a moment, neither of us moved. The sound of the water filled the space between us, the steam creating a hazy, dreamlike atmosphere. My heart pounded in my chest, my skin prickling with awareness.Then, he stepped forward.His fingers trailed up my arm,
As we stepped into Nathan’s penthouse, the tension from the boardroom still lingered in the air. Nathan’s jaw was set, his mind clearly working through everything that had just happened. I had barely settled onto the couch when the doorbell rang.Nathan didn’t even need to guess who it was. He strode to the door, exhaled deeply, and pulled it open.Katrina stood there, her sharp gaze moving between the two of us before she stepped inside as if she owned the place. She was still dressed in the same impeccable blazer from the board meeting, her posture poised, but there was a flicker of unease in her expression.Nathan shut the door and turned to face her. “Alright, Katrina. Let’s cut to it. What deal did she offer you?”Katrina tilted her head slightly, then smirked. “You seem impatient.”“I don’t have time for your games,” Nathan replied, crossing his arms. “Tell me.”Katrina’s gaze flickered toward me as if debating whether to say it out loud. But then she shrugged and leaned against
As Nathan and I stepped into the conference room, an unmistakable tension filled the air. Every board member was present, their eyes shifting between one another, some avoiding Nathan’s piercing gaze, others openly hostile. But what caught me off guard the most was the sight of Katrina seated confidently among them. She was dressed in a sleek black blazer, her expression unreadable, but there was something steely in her gaze as she met Nathan’s eyes.Nathan’s posture stiffened. He scanned the room, his piercing eyes locking onto each individual before settling on Katrina for a moment. Then, in a voice dripping with restrained fury, he asked, “What is going on here? Who gave the authority to call a board meeting in the middle of the night?”A slow, deliberate chuckle broke the silence.It was Uncle Jesse. He leaned forward, resting his elbows on the polished mahogany table, and clasped his hands together as if he had all the time in the world. His smug expression made my stomach twist
The revelation that Steve, Uncle Jesse, and Alex Sommer had called for an emergency board meeting sent a chill through me. This wasn’t just a power move, it was a calculated strike, and if Nathan didn’t act fast, he could lose everything.We grabbed our things but instead of moving towards the door, we stood there looking at each other. I wondered how we got here, to the point where we are almost losing everything we hold dear. Our love, my school, and Nathan’s empire seemed to be crashing down with n solution.I turned to him, my voice firm despite the panic bubbling inside me. “Nathan, if they’ve called a board meeting without you, it’s not a good omen. You know what this means.”Nathan clenched his jaw, running a hand through his dark hair as he exhaled heavily. “I know,” he said, his voice laced with frustration. “But what do you want me to do? Sit here and watch everything I built get handed over to Alex Sommer on a platter of gold?” His piercing blue eyes locked onto mine, a sto
