"Mr Morris" His butler troubled voice made Mr Morris rise from the couch,he had a bad premonition.
What he hadn't expect,was what his butler announced " The man who came along with the young miss earlier 's at the gate causing a commotion. He threatened to pull down the gate if he isn't allowed into the compound" He rushed out his statement, his whole body trembling a little bit and this reaction didn't escape the sight of Mr Morris
He had witness the man's outstanding aura this morning
Mr Morris eyes went wide as if a buzz of electricity just hit him hard, he could 'nt even get back on his feet
FLASHBACK+
Nathan stepped towards Mr Morris whispering in a deep and cold voice
"Dare mess with my woman one more time, you will watch the cortez business group go bankrupt with just a blink of an eye.. mark my words...."
Back To Present -
Nathan's words echoed in his head for the fifth times
But Mr Morris was stubborn,he would face him head on.. he'd sense the man was someone powerful still he wouldn't just let a moment like this slide off
He wanted nothing less than a business deal with the Luke family
"Let him in...." He uttered, the butler nodded momentarily probably a multiple times before dashing out , leaving Mr Morris to himself
Even the effect of the air conditioner in the living room wasn't enough to calm his stubbing heart as sweat started to form on his forehead
His legs were weak but he just wouldn't give such a great opportunity he'd finally succeeded achieving. Not at all
After all, there's always a risk in life
Right?
Outside the gates of the mansion,in the dark of the night. Nathan drove his car at full speed into the compound of the Cortez family
The household staff started to flee out of fear
The butler nearly peed on his pants when Nathan majestically came out of his car. The cold breeze brush his blonde black hair to the side and those dark blue eyes darkened even more giving him that kind of look like when hades was emerging from the underworld
His coat swayed in the air like sharp blades, sharp enough to slash through any soul who dared to block his path
"Where's Mr Morris?! " Nathan Scott 's cold voice rolled out and the butler felt a massive foam of electricity passing through his entire soul as he trembled with fear
He could barely hold himself from passing out
He tried to hold himself by gripping the edge of his suit " He's in the... the... living room,sir.. sir," He stammered, his head lowered, to the extend of almost touching his knees. There was no way he would make eye contact with this man before him.
Seeing the turtle called a butler, Nathan rolled his eyes at his reaction before he walked past him.
The butler slowly calm down, his heart raising as he tried to relax, releasing the breath he'd been holding for so long
For once he preferred staying outside than staying in the same roof with this man
He wouldn't survive it
The two maids by the door didn't wait for Nathan to get near before they opened both sides of the door assiduously,they each hid at the back of the door and waited for him to pass
He was like a Devil making fear grip each of the staffs and their breath held anxiously
Stepping into the living room, Nathan 's face tightened the moment his gaze landed on Mr Morris, his eyes deepened with his striking features that seem sculpted by the gods and his noble noble, powerful aura that filled the living room with a icy temperature
Mr Morris who had build up his courage to meet Nathan could no longer feel his bones, his face was drained off colours. Although he was sited on a couch he couldn't feel the morale surging through him again. His hands gripped the edge of the couch for support
He could feel the piercing eyes of Nathan Scott on him
Standing a few feet from Mr Morris, Nathan 's dangerous voice rang out " Don't you dare mess with Mr Morris !!! Where the hell is my wife?? , Bring her out this instant!!" No smile on his face,he was damn serious
His words laced with a powerful aura that made Mr Morris heart shaken
His stubborn daughter had went ahead to marry this man without his consent
"She's engaged to someone else..." Mr Morris managed to speak while his eyes were on the cold floor not daring to meet the metallic dark eyes of Nathan's
Nathan snorted coldly,as he matched towards Mr Morris,he sat on the couch facing the old man, his legs crossed elegantly imposing the Devil he was
Making Mr Morris shivered in fear on the chair he was sitting on
It was as if his whole body was paralyzed at that point
No ounce of smile was on Nathan's face, his lips moved into a thin line and his eyes looked down on his wristwatch and in a flash back to Mr Morris face "Mr Morris, you should know how better it would be for you not to be a hero, you ain't" His eyes blazed with anger, His cold demeanor like that of a wolf ready to pouce on Mr Morris
At this moment,Mr Morris lips quivered. He could barely raise his head up,he could feel the hard gaze of Nathan's on him even if they were just a few centimeters away
"My daughter's the future of Cortez business group, marrying into the Luke family is for her and the family benefits...she'll have a better life there.." He said almost in a whisper as he speak his mindset. His voice stammering
Mr Morris eyes widened in surprise at the next statement Nathan said " Don't you dare use my wife as an access for your gain Mr Morris! I warned you, don't blame me for being rough. One more minutes here without getting what I came for,it'll double your consequences...
"Where's my wife " He asked impatiently
His tone ice cold, and dark
Mr Morris felt his heart wavered. He couldn't bear standing in the presence of Nathan 's, especially with his eyes glued on him like a hawk
"She's in her room upstairs " He shuttered nearly out of breath
He wanted to call for his butler
"Don't bother " Nathan cut off sarcastically"I'll get her myself..." He added bluntly standing up" The keys, room no? ...
"Third,by the first floor..." Mr Morris sentence skipped as he walk towards Nathan lending him the keycard
Nathan Scott stared at him up and down,he brushed passed him like a gust of wind making Mr Morris staggered backwards
He had wasted enough time here and there was no way he would 'nt teach this man a lesson
Having the guts to keep his wife hostage
He's so dead for
Nathan stride through the stairs. His eyes landed on the third door when he arrived at the first floor
The two bodyguards at the door could only give him space at that instant
Nathan drew one a dirty look demanding
"Her phone...."
In haste, the guard brought it out and without being told, scurried away.
The door clinked open once Nathan slid the keycard in
He pushed the door open with his palm and the door open
Julie who was already on the verge of tears suddenly sighted the familiar sight of Nathan
Her familiar scent swept into his nose when he spotted her on the bed before stepping into the room
An unknown smile of relief cross his face
Julie sniffed, her once worried face full of hope as she couldn't help but rush from her bed before he could even approach her. Her body crashed into his firm chest in embrace
Her face buried on his chest
Nathan stayed stiff for a while his eyes flashing with relief - too quick to catch
"It's okay now" His deep , somewhat feel with warmth voice reached her eyes, making her skipping heart finally relaxed "Don't worry ,am here..."
His chest was warm and solid, and the steady, powerful heart beat emanating from him was reassuring
Julie Cortez eyes were watery.
He actually came
She 'd lost all hope when her phone was snatched from her reach.
There was no way to call him
But here he was, and for once she didn't want to let go
Nathan lifted her up, holding her tightly in his strong arms
Or rather
In a bridal style
"You'll feel better this way" His calm and steady voice, though slightly cold,provided a strong sense of security
Julie exhausted nerves finally gave in, unable to resist
Nathan Scott matched out of her room,he didn't even glance at Mr Morris and the others as he carried Julie away
Especially the surprising gaze of Natalie and May
May Cortez mouth was open agape
She was just inside her room enjoying the drama of Julie downfall
However her heart swelled with envy. She 'd once pictured herself as the daughter in law of the Luke family and not her stepsister
But she knew so well her impossible it was
Still, one thing remain clear
She was his favorite woman in bed and moreover their marriage was just for business
That was her thought until she sighted the glamorous car of Nathan driving in from her open window
Her eyes darted to the his familiar figure
May couldn't believe it
How did Julie end up with such a rich guy?
A gloomy expression was on her face , as her face darkened momentarily,a plan slowly foamed in her mind.
Reaching out for her phone just in time. She took a photo of both Nathan and Julie at the door step
The maids and security guards stepped away as they gave space for Nathan to pass. He stepped out of the house
He got near the car and with a swift move, opened the front seat door with one hand
Nathan placed Julie on the seat
Her eyes drawn to his face, hovering dangerously close
Julie heart raised,her lips pressing together in a vain attempt to maintain her composure
"What are you....." Her next words trailed off when Nathan placed his finger on her lips
Her mind screamed for a distance but her body felt trapped in the pull of his presence
"We're in a car....." The words accidentally slipped out her mouth in a foam of protest
Nathan watched her reaction,a smirk curled on his lips before he finally whispered leaning closer " Seatbelts..."
"Seatbelts " His word made Julie snapped back to her senses
Her cheeks instantly burn red in embarrassment when she finally realized he was lowering the seats so she would relax her back
Julie Cortez could hardly meet his gaze
She was so embarrass ,she'd mistaken the whole thing
Aah , she wished she could just disappear right now
With a smirk still on his face, Nathan slowly backed away closing the door
He got into the car .....
Immediately Nathan car majestically drove off the compound
Mr Morris phone rang
The moment he picked up,
His legs instantly lost balance
His whole body drained off energy
