Young Master Returns for his Abandoned Wife
“You abandoned me in the middle of the night! You left me alone for five years!” Maya hissed as he lifted his hand to touch where her slap had left its mark. “I left to protect you! I left because I love you!” Nathaniel protested in a futile attempt to defend himself. —————————————————— Five years ago, Nathaniel De La Rue found love and a new life in Arlington City, but his past soon caught up with him and forced him to leave behind everything he had built, including his beloved Maya Miller. Now, Nathaniel is done running. He must confront his past to protect those that matter the most to him. After fighting for his right to live and accepting his rightful place in the De La Rue family, he finally returns to Arlington City. However, upon his return, Nathaniel finds that his world is not the same as he left it. Maya, the woman he loves, is engaged to another man. His best friend now works for the man who stole Maya from him. Furthermore, the woman who had cared for Nathaniel like a mother is being abused by her husband. It’s as if he has to start from scratch. But things have changed. This time he has the De La Rue Family by his side.
Will You Accept Just Lunch?
Emilia was seated next to Angel in Nathaniel's living room, hunched over several documents.
It had been a week since Angel arrived and they had already increased security around all the members of the De La Rue family. They also coordinated with the families of those closest to them.
"Are you sure you can trust these men?" Angel asked as she pointed at a list of names.
She had asked Emilia to contribute a few men to work covertly.
"Yeah, they don't have bad blood with the people you want protected," Emilia said as she scanned the names for probably the sixth time since she placed the list on the table.
"Good," Angel hummed and nodded. "This is a complicated game we are playing."
Emilia couldn't help but agree, it was complicated.
Mixing the underworld and the ordinary world was not something they did.
Nathaniel had placed each of them in their own roles for a reason, it never ended well when those two worlds mixed.
