Chapter 3

Greg's gaze cut through to his son in anger.

"Who asked you to speak"? He growled out making his son swallow and look down at his feet.

"Look at me when I'm talking to you, do you know who that is"? He growled out walking around the table and standing right in front of his son.

"I don't care about you wanting to get yourself killed but while you're at it, try not to drag me into it" he growled out glaring at his son

Nathan just swallowed before his eyes landed on his sister

"And you" his father muttered looking at his daughter "get ready you're getting married to Spade" he muttered

"But dad I don't even know him" she argued and he just glared at her before taking steps close to her, she recoiled back in fear

"You don't have to know him, you just have to marry him, you don't really have much of a choice"

"Why"? Nathan whispered looking at his father, he couldn't understand why this sudden action taken by his father, they barely even knew the man, hell he bet his father didn't even know the man and he's willing to push his daughter to him for marriage.

Greg turned and faced Nathan

"Well it's none of your business but since you asked, I'm in a debt and as you know the business isn't really in good shape, I need all the money I can get and Spade is ready to offer me more than enough, but he wants something in return" he explained his voice hard and hateful

"So you sold her"? Nathan whispered looking at his father with so much pain

"Watch your mouth boy, I won't hesitate to show you your place right here and right now" he growled out warningly to his son

"What use is a daughter if she can't help her father in need"? He asked no one in particular

Nathan could see the laboured breathing of his sister and the unshed tears she held back, because even if she cried it wouldn't change anything.

Nathan wanted to protest or at least say something, anything but he couldn't, what would he say?

He always knew his father was bound to make such a decision but he never thought it'd be this soon

"Get ready, the next time Spade shows up here, you'll be signing that contract, no questions asked" he said pointing to his daughter before walking towards his desk "now both of you get out of my sight, I don't even know why I called you here in the first place, it's not like I needed you" he muttered the last part out.

Nathan gave him one long last look before slowly following behind his sister as they both walked out of the study.

Instead of going back downstairs, his sister turned and headed straight for her room.

He could hear her light sobs as he followed her, he entered inside her room and she was on the bed sobbing with her back to the door.

"Go away, I don't want to talk" she muttered choking on her own sobs

"Suzy" he let out a deep breath "look I know.... I know how you feel, I just wanna be here for you" he whispered before sitting on the bed

Her shoulders shook as she sobbed, she slowly turned and faced him, her eyes were red and swollen, with tears coming out of them

"How can he do this to me? Nate he sold me to that....that man" she croaked out

"I know Su, I just..... I never thought he'd do something like this, he'd stoop so low" Nathan muttered thinking about it again.

His father knew how dangerous Spade is, yet he didn't care about all that and still went ahead to make such a deal with him.

He didn't even think of the possibility of Spade hurting Suzy, or worse what if he killed her right after marrying her.

"Nate, I can't marry him, I don't love him, I don't know him, I just..... I can't do it" she whispered and he sighed before taking his sister's hands in his

"We'll figure it out together, I won't let you get married to him" he reassured his sister and she nodded sniffing.

"Now wipe your tears, you look ugly" he teased making her chuckle before wiping off her tears with the back of her hands.

"Not as ugly as you do" she mutttered and he just laughed before getting up

"I'll uhh.. I'll be on my way now, I'll come check on you tomorrow" he muttered and her face just goes sad again

"Can't you stay a little longer"? She asked and he just shook his head slowly

"No, I have to be at the office tomorrow morning, I have an early morning appointment" he whispered feeling sad himself, he didn't want to leave too but he had to.

"Okay" she mutttered, he just pulled her in for a hug

"I'll see you tomorrow Su, just take care of yourself okay"? He muttered before kissing her forehead

"You too little brother" she mutttered, he just nodded and got up before walking out of the room.

He wanted to just walk out of the house and try to forget about today but there was one last thing he wanted to do.

He stopped in front of the door and knocked before his father's voice sounded from inside asking him to go in.

He opened the door and walked in, his father was seated in front of the desk as usual, taking his whiskey in a glass.

He took calculated steps towards his father, before stopping in front of his desk

"What do you want"? He spat out looking at his son from head to toe

Nathan wanted to say a lot of things right at this moment but the time wasn't right, he'd only be complicating things if he went overboard.

He balled his hands into a fist and took in a deep breath

"Uhmmm... I..." He paused

"Well, what is it"? Greg pressed irritation lacing his voice

"I was wondering if I could get a copy of the contract" he whispered feeling his nerves going up

His dad just looked at him with disgust before grunting and pulling out the cupboard on his desk and bringing out a copy of the same file he handed Spade earlier on

He stretched it out and when Nathan's hands reached for it, he pulled it back looking at his on

"What do you need it for"? He asked and Nate just sighed out

"I just wanna go through it, to see if there are any loopholes that might affect the company or Su" he muttered and his father just grunted before handing it over to him.

"That's your sister's copy, so I expect to have it back here by next tomorrow" he grunted before picking up the glass of whiskey from the table and drinking it all in one gulp.

Nate took the contract and walked out of the office not looking back or stopping, until he got outside and got into his car before driving away.

______________________________________

Spade stopped his car in front of the club, his club.

Lust.

This was one of his may business which he used as a cover up for his numerous illegal businesses.

To many New Yorkers, it was just a regular club but deep within these walls a lot of illegal and dangerous things were going on.

From trafficking of drugs, to selling and trafficking of guns, ammunition and other lethal weapons.

He got out of the car and walked straight into the double doors, the men in front of the club giving him a curt nod, he barely reacted before walking into the club

Like every other night, it was pretty busy and full of different people, dancing and of course having fun, but there were others that came here for business purposes only, meetings and deal closings.

He walked past the bar and the server there gave him a curt nod, everyone and anyone that knew who he was, feared and respected him, even some of the girls in the club that worked for him, made way for him as he walked past the VIP boot, straight upstairs to his office.

He could hear the loud music getting muffled, the more he walked towards his office, the less the sound got

He finally reached and the man standing in front, in all black and a gun hoisted on his thighs, nodded.

"Boss" he muttered before Spade opened the door and walked in.

"I thought you'd never show" the silhouette sitting on the couch muttered.

He didn't say anything, he just walked directly around the desk and sat on the other side before dropping the file in his hands on the desk

"So how'd it go"? The same man asked and he just grunted

"I'm gonna need you to go through that for me, you find anything, you let me know" he muttered pointing to the file he just dropped
