Chapter twelve
"Two can't play Cupid's game"
" This...This and this"
Nathan nodded absentmindedly as Adriana threw files at him. His mind was still transfixed to what had happened earlier.
The words Boulderfist which he had erect on top of the building for the price of thousand was tossed down like it was nothing. Nathan remembered Thomas' smile as the words Tower were reconstructed in its place.
"Are you even here?" Adriana quizzed seeing he was lost in thought.
"Nothing..."
Adriana questioned no further. She instructed him on what he had to do even if he knew it all. It was part of her torture.
The conference room had been refurbished to meet her standards as it was her new office.
"Don't just stand there...Go and get something doing." Adriana spat clearly irritated.
Nathan nodded in submission and went out.

He expressed."Are you?""It's my job."

"Choose your stand, fight for it.""I think you made the right choice." Mrs Romero honestly answered."Really?" Adriana quizzed, doubting her hearing.She had no idea why she had taken such a drastic step towards her father. She was going to ruin him and for a man.No! You have to fix this.Not that she would have the opportunity to fix her mistake.Nathan was a smart ass and would have a plan of his own to sidetrack hers just in case she failed.Adriana assumed he had already told someone if he hadn't even recorded their conversation and handed it to a trusted friend in his stead already.She was freaking out."Adriana!" Her mother recalled her back to reality." Sorry Mother but that was done in the heat of the moment, I wasn't thinking right."" I think you were doing the right thing."

Nothing interesting had happened apart from the fact that he had paid a Hitman he sent after a blackmailer.The girl Claire was dumb as hell. Threatening to reveal his involvement in murders he had a hand in if he didn't relinquish the company back to the right hands.Nathan!He knew very very that Nathan was a threat now if Claire had even slightly revealed her research to him."How did she even father so much dirt against him?" He said, aside.His phone pealed and he slid the screen to see who.A private number. It better not be the hitman demanding more money."Hello?" Thomas greeted."Hello Mr Thomas." A baleful voice acknowledged."Who is this?" Thomas asked, now relaxed.It wasn't the Hitman so who was it?"Just someone in need of a favor.""What kind

He begged following closely.Adriana turned to face him, her eyes basked in tears."Why me? I've always hated you and I'm sure the feeling was mutual.""For some time, yes but when I was with you Adriana, I felt somethingthat I haven't felt in a long time.""What did you feel?" She asked, more in a hush."I felt loved."Adriana burst into a fit of laughter making her cheeks huge."I've always had fantasies of what it would be like if we met differently, if I wasn't a bitch and you never met my father.""But it can be different now.

She didn't even realize she had slept despite all means she had tried not to.The number you are trying to call is currently switched off.She angrily tossed her phone on the bed. The force made it boomerang back at her. It hit the ground before she could catch it, sending a loud echo in the room that killed the silence."What do I even care?"

The woman dressed in a white shirt stained with Ash and coal.Her hair a mess of black and grey. Sweat making them stick to her forehead.She coughed a little and reached out to her fan which she kept close to keep the embers of wood burning."Coming Mom." A voice rang from outside, soft yet loud like a clarinet.A young girl in her early twenties rushed to the old woman who called for her."Mom, I don't want to cook. The farm is much fun.""Yes.
