“She received her mail here and paid rent, sir, that means even if you just were joking by throwing her out and rescinding your part in her schooling for payments, you have cost her a semester if not more at the university.” Nathan said, “I did have to learn about different laws for business school though I already knew a lot of them because of my father and the company. You know the one. Akechi industries?”
“I have heard of it.” The older man said as he looked at Nathan and then realized that he wasn’t just talking. Nathan was going to exact his revenge on the man who hurt her. The older man could see as well that Nathan was going to enjoy it as well. “I am sure we can work something out without it going too far.”
“Oh no, I think you may have misunderstood me.” Nathan said with a grin forming, “You will be hearing from the family lawyer. There is nothing for us to work out. Also, if
Days turned into weeks and then turned into two months. Nathan was happy to be done with school for the time being. He enjoyed his time at work even though he worked closely with his father. He loved coming home, though. She was always doing something in the house and finding things to make or do. She was really talented with sewing as well. For a simple girl, as she called herself, she had made him a new shirt, and he thought the cut and style of it was the best he had ever had.He had thought of bring up the fact she could do so much more than just be a nurse if she wanted to be. Though when he pulled into the driveway, he saw that her car was there, but so was another that he didn’t know. The make and model were of someone he would know most likely. He thought maybe Christian had gotten a new car.As he walked into the house, though, he knew something wasn’t right. Kathleen was nowhere to be found. “Kath
“I will handle this,” Maverick said as he dropped the phone call, and soon enough, he arrived. He looked at the sorry excuse of a man his brother had become and wanted to kill him. “What do you have to say for yourself?”“I wanted to test that little morsel your son has upstairs. I thought maybe he would be more of a team player than you ever were.” The man spat out. “I mean, he has his own version of his mother, a simpleton and whore.”Maverick didn’t miss a beat when he punched his brother square in the jaw, and the man flew to the floor. He looked up to the man who had hit him and started to laugh. Nathan wanted to do more than that as this man before him not only insulted his mother but Kathleen as well. His uncle stood up and then looked at the two of them standing before him. “What would people say if they knew half the secrets of the family? The dark sex we all are prone to. The fact we li
He went upstairs after he called a locksmith to check on her. She was still fast asleep. He looked at the time and knew it wasn’t like her to take a nap for this long during the day. She was normally up and about for a few more hours, and then they would play some and then fall asleep normally in a blissed-out state. Though he had noticed, she seemed more sluggish in the mornings, and she was tired throughout the days as well. He thought maybe he was asking too much of her making love to him every day for the past two months.“Two months.” He said to himself as he looked at her. He remembered when before his youngest brother Mark was born, his mother was always tired. He looked at her again. He knew that he had to be the answer. “Sweetheart, wake up.”“You’re home?” she asked as she blinked her eyes open. “What time is it?”“Still early. Baby, we have t
“Nathan, I’m pregnant.” She said.“So?” he asked, “That isn’t answering my question.”“Nathan.” She said as she looked at him. “That wasn’t part of the plan.”“Okay.” He said, “Plans change. If you are thinking I will tell you to do something with it, you’re dead wrong.”“But.” She said.“Say you will marry me, Kathleen.” He pleaded. “Then there will be no question of our child or how much I want to be with you. Or how much I love you.”“Nathan.” She said, “I love you too.”“Then say yes.” He said again with a dramatic sigh.“I will marry you.” She said, and he smiled as he kissed her.“When did you find out?” he asked as she looked at herself.“Yesterday.” She said.“Why didn’t you
Three hours later, standing on the same beach, he knew that his parents had just under twenty-three years ago, the priest pronounced them husband and wife. He kissed her with more passion than even he thought was possible as one of the people there took a few pictures of the two. He and Kathleen signed all the papers, and then he knew they were official. They were married.Kathleen was now exactly what she always was in his mind. His wife. His partner. His other half. He smiled the entire way home as he laid her head on his shoulder. “You know how we have to be a little more gentle for a bit. I think, though, when we get home, I will make love to you until it is morning.” He said softly in her ear. She smiled as she looked at him.“I think that would be nice.” She said back, and the two kissed the rest of the flight back on the private plane for the company. He just held her close to him as well. He was now two things
Nathan woke up from what he would consider a short nap. He had felt her give way, and then he collapsed himself. Though he knew he had to get to the office, he didn’t want to leave her right after he had married her. He kissed her cheek. “I love you, honey.” He said, and she smiled in her sleep and blinked her eyes open. “I have to go in and deal with my father; otherwise, I would stay at home in bed with you all day.”“I know.” She said as she smiled at him. “Come home when you can.”“I will.” He said, and he got up and went to get dressed in one of his suits. He would at least look the part when he got there. He honestly didn’t know how his father was going to be this morning. Not many people told him no. He had not only done that he acted impulsively and married Kathleen. This was going to be an interesting morning meeting.The
“I have to say you really are, dad.” Nathan laughed. “But you and mom will have a grandchild soon enough.”“That I wasn’t expecting.” He said as he sat back in the chair. “Go home, Nate. Ask her and then call your mother either way. I might hold off on telling her about the newest addition.”“Why?” Nathan asked.“Because your mother is happy with being a mother. I am not sure she is ready to be a grand anything.” Maverick chuckled. “However, I did tell her about last night, so she is concerned. Not just for you but Kathleen as well. Maybe it is time they meet.”Nathan Akechi walked into his house to find his wife showing his mother around the house. “I was supposed to call you,” Nate said as his mother put out her cheek for him to kiss. He did without hesitation. He looked at Kathleen, who seemed okay with the fact his mo
“Are you doing this because you want to or because my mother asked you to?” Nathan asked later as they were in the playroom finishing up with each other. This was the time they both knew there was nothing between them. This was a place of honesty and nothing else.“Because I want to, Nate.” She said as she looked at him. “I don’t regret marrying you the way we did last night, but your mother or father is right.”“With?” Nathan asked. She untied her wrists and helped her step down off the platform.“The fact that I am not from your world. The fact we are married doesn’t mean too much to them. With this wedding, your parents want to show everyone that we are as strong as them.” She said, and she found herself wrapped in his arms.“You know, though, in three months, this guy will be making his appearance through your clothes?” Nath
