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.
Useless Babysitters
Since neither Nathaniel nor Maya were VIPs to this event, they took the side entrance, successfully managing to avoid the red carpet that Katerina had to unfortunately take.
Eric, who had grown up partially in the limelight, had willingly accompanied his mother. He promised Gabriel to see him after they walked the flashy carpet as Eric called it.
"This might be one of the last events we get to attend as just Nate and Maya," Nathaniel said as he planted a kiss on Maya's head as they watched from the side.
Katerina looked like a natural and her son looked like he was born to be adored by the masses.
"How so?" Maya asked as she looked up at him.
"When I finish my mission there won't be reason left for me to keep my identity a secret," he confessed to her.
"Oh," she said, choosing not to share her thoughts on the subject.
