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.
Christian Hamel
"Maya, Katerina," Nathaniel said as he joined his girlfriend and friend at their table, with him was Christian Hamel who looked a little bit nervous.
Nathaniel didn't know if Christian was just a very good actor, or if he was genuinely nervous to meet Maya and Katerina.
The earlier encounter didn't help either. He had come as Cassandra's date, something Nathaniel hadn't asked him about just yet.
Nathaniel had focused on discussing with him the plan and what he needed from Christian. He didn't bother asking about Cassandra.
He had done as many background checks as possible on Christian and there was nothing to indicate that he had met with Cassandra prior to that night. So Nathaniel simply brushed it off as an unfortunate coincidence.
"Nathaniel, we were wondering where you had run off to!" Katerina said as she pointed toward an empty seat between Eric and Gabriel.
"I'm assuming the boys decided on the seating arrangement?" Nathaniel asked.
