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.
The Trial
"Are our men in place?" Nathaniel asked as he sat in the backseat of his car while they drove to pick Maya up from her office.
If Nathaniel had his way, Maya and the rest of his family, would be nowhere near today's events. But they were all as stubborn as ever, insisting that they should be there for Nathaniel as he had always been for him.
The thought warmed his heart just as much as it made him worry for their safety.
"For the fifth time today, yes," Clark grumbled as he sat in the driver's seat.
"And our lawyers—"
"You asked this too many damn times, Nathaniel," it was Jay's turn to grumble as they arrived at the driveway of Miller Industries' office.
"Then answer my question, asshole," Nathaniel hissed as the door opened and Maya slid into the seat next to him.
Nathaniel quickly pulled her into his arms and pressed a passionate kiss onto her lip.
