NATHANIf he wanted to rob me, he really should have tried harder to hide what he'd stolen.I stared at the wide open space, with the cartons of the smart watches stacked at one end.Over a thousand small cartons, they were at least stacked neatly. I turned to Daniel. "How'd you find it?""With my savvy skills and expertise of course." He said with a wide grin. Someone's spirits were high again. "Come on, Daniel.""Had a police friend of mine track the two men we caught on camera through the system. One of them has been in for something before. It wasn't too hard to find him and get him to revealed where our stolen tech was."The workers trooped past me, carrying the boxes and loading them into the trucks outside. He wasn't nearly as smart as he thought he was, hiding them close to me so I wouldn't think to look here."Where's the thief? Did you get the second one?""Yes. Eventually we found him too.""Anything about why they robbed us?""They insist it's because they wanted to sel

NATHANThere was a wide grin on my face when I saw the newspapers at work the next day.The picture of both of us standing closely together at the award ceremony is absolutely clear. Captured the tension between us in a way that made us look intimate. The story underneath the picture was about Faye, her disappearance and the link between the growth and continual success of Crist holdings and Carver Tech. It was not a far-fetched idea for people to think that I was at that party because I was in talks with the board members of Crist holdings for a partnership. There was already a boost in sales and my company's shares were back up again. I picked up a second paper, just to find the same picture of us from a different angle on the very first page. 'Power couple or Power struggle?'I had to give it to them. Their headlines were superb. The newstory was on Faye. There were speculations about where she'd been for the last five years and why she was not currently by my side, being my

FAYEI had a full schedule today and I planned on executing everything on the list before the day was over.I put a call into my driver and went outside to wait for him to bring the car around. I'd dressed down today, hoping that I would somehow look like the girl that Patrice had loved and cared for.I hoped she didn't turn me away. The car stopped a few feet away and I made my way to it, pulling the door open to enter when I heard someone call my name.I shut the car door and turned around to find Yvonne watching me. Damn. I'd hoped to leave without hee seeing mw. I wasn't heading into the office today and i knew she would undoubtedly have questions when she found out I was absent at work. Now she'd know I'd gone somewhere else. And she'd be right to think it was somewhere i had considered more important than work.Problem was when she finally asked, like i knew she would, i wouldn't have any answers for her. She can't find out what i and Axel have been up to. I smiled and wal

FAYEI tried, but it was hard for me to understand what she was saying.Was it maybe because this narration of events she was giving me differed from what I'd heard before?From what Maya had told me. That lying bitch. "You don't seem to understand, my dear.""I'm having a little of trouble following everything."I folded my hands before me, eager to understand what she was sharing, yet wary of the fact that Patrice might just paint Nathan the wronged one in all this, because she cared for him."How about I tell it like this? The Alpha of a pack and his right-hand man made a deal. That one day their first children would marry. They made sure this happened, even though the two were not in love with each other.""The boy felt the need to carry out pack obligations and the girl really did not have a say. She was not so happy in life, and who could wonder with the father she had? Soon after they were married, they had a son. But the girl suffered from postpartum depression."I nodded occa

FAYE What had I been thinking? That he'd immediately give me the information I wanted? That he'd fall for my little seduction tricks? I hadn't even really tried. My fingers curled into my palms in rage, and I was sure my nails would leave deep little crescent marks on my skin when I looked. I could tell from the sexual frustration in me. There was so much attraction between us, and it really was fucking things up badly. I had to ruin him. Kick him off his freaking stupid high horse and cut him to size. That way they'd know, they'd see what a person became after you made her a monster. I hissed in frustration and trudged to bed, kicking at the covers when I climbed on top. When everything's fell to the ground, I settled a little bit, trying to sleep. The shrill ring of the doorbell rang, and I was startled out of my half asleep state. Only one person would come to see me this late in the night. I got out of bed and replaced the bed covers, picking up a few pillows a
