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.
Aftermath
"I made a promise long ago to myself that once you learned about who I am and about the perils of being with me that I wouldn't hide our relationship from the public," he told Maya as he sat next to her, holding her hand while Gabriel played with his toys across the room.
Her son had been so behaved the whole morning that Maya was starting to worry that the little child had a plan.
It wasn't that Gabriel was a problematic child, as a matter of fact, he had always been well-behaved, but Maya couldn't help but worry that Gabriel had a plan of his own.
She knew that even as early as now he considered Nathaniel to be his father. He also probably noticed how she treated Nathaniel differently when it came to Gabriel's questions about having a father.
Maya's attention returned to Nathaniel as he gently stroked her hand.
"What do you plan to do now?" she asked.
