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.

Nathaniel quickly caught everyone up on the matter surrounding Clarisse Rue. It didn't take long since there wasn't much to say.

"Fuck!" Ryan hissed to the side.
"Give up yet, kid?" Nathaniel asked, tilting his head to the side.
He was honestly amazed at the level of focus Ryan had when it came to his work. The young man hadn't lifted his head since the task was handed to him.
"No, but if you guys could bloody shut it, I'd be able to focus better," Ryan hissed.
"He gets temperamental," Nico shrugged. "Mind if we use an empty office or something? Or maybe we should go home first."
"No, I need access to their network and this laptop…" Ryan said as his eyes assessed the laptop he was typing on. "It's like nothing I've seen."
"Glad you like my little project," Ezra chuckled. "That's all me and no Nathaniel."
