48 - Just promise me one thing
Mercedes could feel her heart still. It wasn't in the plan for Nathan to pick her at the hangar. He wasn't even supposed to be here. She was supposed to have a good time with her mom and brother. Was he breaking up with her? Was that why he sent her away?" If so then why would he entrust her with high company responsibility? It didn't make sense and also didn't add up.
"I can take anything Nat, just spit it," she said in earnestness.
Nathan didn't know where to start from but it had to be from somewhere. "You have to know that the doctors did all they could to save him." Instantly, Mercedes' mind travelled to her brother. But he said he was fine the last time they spoke a few days ago. What could have gone wrong?
"Oliver?" Her heart pleaded against it.
"No, your dad." Relief washed over Mercedes just as the understanding sank in.
"What?...No! He can't be dead. No!" All this while, she had remained strong, taking up the responsibility of fendin

"What is that?" Nathan asked seriously. If it was within his power, he would fulfil her promise. "Make sure he rots in prison for all he put me through. When he found out I was pregnant, he started acting all nice, when in actual fact, every drink he gave me was spiked with something to make me miscarry. Please let him pay. One more thing. It was the same means they used to make Sarah miscarry, thrice till she got tired and got her tubes tied. He works well with Betty." Nathan was horrified at the revelation. His father had been drinking and dining with enemies he thought were his friends but he couldn't feel pity for his dad. Rather, he felt sorry for Clarisse and Sarah. He would make Luke and Betty pay. "Thanks for telling me. I will still do as I want for you to be comfortable," he said and left. He was broken by the time he got back to the penthouse and it was getting late but he drove them to the mansion he had arranged. Having Sarah with him proved wort
Mr President's Wild Obsession 50 - Mr President, on your knees for the woman you love
It was past midnight but Nathan couldn't take his eyes off the woman lying gloriously naked beside him. Events from the first time they met flooded his mind, bringing tears to his eyes. How could he have known that this woman would become a great pillar in his life and hold the key to his happiness, bringing him out of that ice fortress he built around himself? One whose needs and wants mattered to him more than his. One who could make him travel the world or dive into the sea, just to retrieve whatever she wanted. He loved her so much, much to obsession. He had her but he still wanted her to be his, to fulfil her every desire, to give her the joy that she deserved. They finished making love barely an hour ago and she fell asleep but merely staring at her, he turned hard. He didn't want to disturb her sleep but he couldn't resist her as well. He trailed his finger through her spine gently, as if to not wake her. He began placing soft kisses on her back, his hands tra

Mr President's Wild Obsession 53 - The excitement never stops.
When Nathan left Mercedes, he wanted to get Luke arrested instantly but rather went in search of Griffin. No matter how he tried, he couldn't let it slide. Griffin didn't try to get out of the hotel. He just went to the room he had booked to change when a knock sounded on the door. Somehow, he suspected Nathan but knew he had to face him one way or the other. As soon as he opened the door, a strong punch disfigured his teeth, causing his gums to bleed. "You asshole, she won't tell me but I know it's you. The surveillance cameras and CCTV with all investigations point at you. So tell me, why did you abduct my fiance?" Nathan was furious, glaring daggers at him. Griffin wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth. The pain was seething but he endured it like a man. He couldn't be upset because he deserved it. "Your fiance is also my best friend, Nathan," he was remorseful but Nathan wasn't moved. "Just that? Was that why you did what you did? The only thing h
Mr President's Wild Obsession Epilogue

Sarah wasn't able to have a child of her own but she was happy because she was going to have a grandchild. Griffin and Angie got married three months after Nathan and Mercedes did. Penelope stayed in the marriage with Mr Hayes, vowing to be a good wife and enduring her thirty seconds with a grateful heart. Lanre and Clarisse went to visit Luke in prison after they got married two months after Nathan and Mercedes did. Luke was exasperated. He seemed to be the type of man who only saw value in something, only after he lost it. Clarrise seemed to be blooming, which could only be attributed to her peaceful and loving marriage. Luke was in his orange prison uniform, bringing out of him a humbling look in contrast to his usual arrogant self. He sat opposite Lanre and Clarisse in the inmates' visitors room. "I see you m
Mr President's Wild Obsession 1 - Why don't you lock the door first?
"This is the 11th incompetent assistant you have recruited for me in just a month," Nathan seethed. "Fix it," he hissed in his usual cold and arrogant tone. Vincent, his HR manager, was disturbed. "I'm very sorry, Mr President, I will get you a new assistant in two weeks," he expressed, his eyes lowered as Nathan cast a sharp glare at him. Nathan stood from his luxury swivel chair and banged his balled fist on the table, "are you so incapable? You should be recruiting your replacement as well if you can't get me a new assistant now." It was a command, his aura exhumed authority. "I'll be on it, Mr President." Vincent scurried out of his office. Nathan was agitated. This was the 47th assistant he's fired within the first quarter of the year. Vincent got to his office, wiping the beads of sweat forming in his face. He couldn't let his assistant handle this because his job was at stake. The assistants he hired for Nathan Legend were the b
Mr President's Wild Obsession 2 - Hit & Run
She was blacked with fury. All she wanted to do was stomp out of the office without looking back. Yet, she didn't want to leave with a bad reputation. She ambled to the door and locked it. "Good," he purred. "So?" She was eager to leave the shit of a man's office. Mr Hayes has always given her a scare from day one but she has successfully avoided him by leaving no loopholes in her line of work. Yet it seemed that no matter how much one tried to avoid trouble, it always came knocking on her door. Interestingly, it wasn't the first time she was faced with such shameless he-goats. "Don't be in a rush. Aren't you a lady?" He tried to pull her close but she was faster and swerved at him. Her best friend Griffin had done a good job in teaching her how to develop thorns. Like he always said, 'beautiful girls must develop thorns to scare predators away. If roses didn't have thorns, they would be wasted by undeserving people.' Mr Hayes was disp
