“However, he had a party last night and I thought there’s something I thought you should see,” His assistant said, handing a huge envelope to him.
Pay It Tenfolds
“What is it?” Daniel asked gruffly, accepting the envelope from his assistant. He was still in a sour mood and was not ready to deal with trivial issues, especially with Lukas being nothing but a stumbling block to his plans.
Hence, when he pulled out the documents from the envelope, the first thing to slip out and fall on his lap were photographs and he picked up one of the copies staring at the photograph of his son, Lukas carrying a woman who seemed to be unconscious in his arms.
Whoever took the photograph must have been aiming not to get caught because what he managed to capture was the back view of Lukas and the unconscious lady’s brunette hair cascading down.
Vexed, Daniel lifted a brow at his assistant, “What the hell is this?” his tone showed that he wasn’t one bit impressed by the information.
“It’s just…” The assistant found himself stumbling over his words, “I-I just thought.. You would want to know… you said, you needed to know about Lukas… Y-your son is supposed to be with his fiancée… Clara is not the one in the picture -“
“Just stop!” Daniel waved his hand, silencing him with the gesture, tired of his blabbering. Nobody told him that his fucking assistant was a stammer until now.
Daniel rubbed his forehead, easing the headache. He looked at his assistant with furious eyes, “Who told you that I’m interested in the women Lukas fucks?”
Even if Lukas denied it, Daniel knew he and his son weren’t too far different. Women were expendable and were needed for their pleasure, which is why he had turned a blind eye to his son’s sexual rendezvous. He was a man and needed a release. However, what Daniel wouldn’t condone is any woman trying to wrap her tiny claws around his son’s weak heart and try to destroy the engagement between him and Clara.
The only thing Daniel needed at the moment was for Lukas and Clara to get married first and give him a son, after that, he didn’t care how many mistresses or concubines his son kept. Clara would come to know later in their marriage that men are polygamous in nature and her role there is just to keep the family together even if Lukas sticks his dick in more than one pussy.
…..
That was the only reason Daniel hadn’t dealt with his assistant yet for bothering him with this nonsense – he needed to know if this bitch is the reason Lukas has been going against his plans lately. If that was the case, then he had to step in and get rid of her for good before it escalates. He wouldn’t let his son commit the same mistake he almost did with that woman.
Hence, with a bored expression, Daniel decided to go through the rest of the pictures, and in less than a minute, he jerked off his seat with lightning speed, his eyes as wide as the moon, with his hand trembling as he stared at the picture.
His assistant caught his sudden interest in the photograph and began to explain, “I thought it was strange but your son Lukas has been quite involved with the girl lately. So I did some more investigation before coming here and I came to discover that she has relations with Elijah, the mercenary who cost us our men in that incident a month ago.”
Unfortunately, Daniel was not even listening to his explanation, his eyes fixed on the young lady in the picture. Even with the red hair, the resemblance was uncanny, Natalie. Or would have been her, because there was no way that the woman he loved years back would be this younger, even with surgeries, it was impossible.
Unless it was her child.
A chill washed over Daniel as realization dawned on him, Natalie had a child and he didn’t know. Of course, it was like Natalie to keep important stuff like this from him so he doesn’t know and use it against her. He must have had her during that time she ran away from him before her death.
“Who is she?” Daniel didn’t even know when the words left his mouth and the assistant looked at him as he finally lost his mind. He had been explaining about the girl all this while, wasn’t he listening.
Daniel then pulled out the background check his assistant did on the girl and began to read through the document. The first thought that came to Daniel’s mind was that the child was his and his son Lukas had been fucking his sister.
However, as Daniel read down, he found out the date of birth didn’t match, and judging from his jagged memory, that meant that Natalie was already pregnant and gave birth to her before he caught onto her hiding place and brought her back once again. Right after he had her, more like forced himself on her – the only memory he regretted having.
But what do you expect? He gave her his heart, the whole of it! And what did she do with it? She had to go fall for that lowly being? What was his name again? He couldn’t exactly remember. But Daniel had been hurt raw and left bleeding, the first time he gave out his heart and he got what in return, huh? So he wanted to inflict the pain back.
Getting her friend Penelope pregnant hadn’t been in the plan, but he never regretted having Lukas. Perhaps, Lukas was the reason he had broken out of her charm and decided she wasn’t worth his attention. Thankfully, she saved him from the guilt and ended her own life.
However, Daniel didn’t know how to feel seeing that Natalie had a daughter and she was together with his son, Lukas, wasn’t fate funny?
Suddenly, Daniel began to laugh, like full-blown hysterical laughter as if he had lost his damn mind. But it gurgled to a halt in the end and his expression turned deadly.
Even though Natalie’s dead, she ruined him, what makes her think then that he would go easy on her daughter? Whatever sin she committed against him, her daughter would pay it ten folds.
From The Beginning
Many years back…….
“I told you it would be quite a sight!” Natalie admired her room as soon as she arrived while Penelope screamed so loudly her ears almost burst.
“Geez, I knew I did the right thing by joining you on this vacation!” Penelope kicked off her slippers, raced past her to get to her bed, and began to jump on the bouncy bed.
“Don’t forget me!” Natalie let go of her luggage and joined her friend to bounce on the bed until the both of them were tired out of their minds.
Exhausted, both young women stared up at the ceiling, a smile lingering at the corner of her lips.
Suddenly, Penelope turned to her, grinning, “I have to say, you’re quite smart.”
“Haven’t you heard, Mama says I’m as cunning as a fox,” Natalie laughed, meaning that as a joke.
The vacation was a family trip planned outside the country and though it was Natalie’s idea, what her family didn’t know was that she had an ulterior motive behind it. It was all a plan she made to see her boyfriend she had made over the internet.
Edward.
…..
That was his name.
And though Penelope thought it was unrealistic to fall in love with a guy she hasn’t seen face to face, Natalie knew otherwise. No one understood her like Edward, definitely not her father who was usually away, planning his campaign for his second tenure as governor, and her mother, of course, helping him out.
Of course, Natalie understood how much her father’s political aspirations meant to him, and she was not going to stand in the way of his dreams, but that was all they ever talked about these days and she had never felt neglected, especially with her elder sister joining her father’s office as well.
Her sister Lyka had never wanted anything to do with politics and wanted to be an artist, but papa would never hear of that and offered her a more “responsible” job in the government house – where he could have his eyes on her. Also, mama said, her sister would help papa with his campaigns as well, and having family members in various positions of power would help in the long run. Mama’s words, not hers.
Unfortunately, while her elder sister, Lyka was the obedient daughter, Natalie was the black sheep of the family. After her mother’s failed attempt to make her prim and proper, she gave up on her, leaving everything else on fate. But Natalie knew her mother was simply waiting for her youngest sister to grow up, so she could suffocate her with her aristocratic nonsense. It was quite sad that her younger sister Dorcas is a tomboy and she wished their momma all the luck.
“What if he’s after your money? Everyone knows your father’s face, Natalie, ” Penelope argued, while she unpacked and at the same time, sorted out the clothes she would wear for the date later in the day.
Penelope was here as an escort and she would help convince, more like, lie to her mother that they were going for a tour when in reality, it was a date. Natalie already informed Edward that they were in the city and he was making all necessary arrangements to meet them.
Natalie sighed, “He’s not after my money, Penelope, because he has his. Edward is from a rich family. Also, people know my father’s face only back in the country, we’re in a new place now, chill your ass, bestie. “
But Penelope was too concerned for her own good and even though Natalie was older by two years, she always acted like the oldest.
“That’s what he told you, Natalie! You don’t even know whether it’s true or false. Moreover, he’s five years older than you, would you imagine what your parents would say if they heard that?”
“My parents wouldn’t hear that because they won’t find out and you would keep your mouth shut else you’d stop being my best friend. Also, who says I’m going to see Edward blindly? I might be in love, but I’m not stupid,” Natalie says, lifting a pepper spray in her right and a taser in her left hand.
“If my one true love doesn’t turn out to be who I make him to be, then I’d zap his ass. At the moment, what we have to do is find out how to see Edward without a bodyguard following us.”
Of course, the girls had a plan for that.
