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.

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 Threat of Xander Hall
"Where is he now?" Magnus De La Rue asked over the video call.
Nathaniel nodded to his sister, giving her permission to answer.
Emilia De La Rue stood up, based on her attire, a pair of jeans and a tank top with a leather jacket over it, Nathaniel assumed she had just returned from one of their Mafia bases.
"He's still outside of the state of Franklin," Emilia reported, her voice steady and firm. Nathaniel couldn't help but feel proud with how his sister commanded everyone's attention in the room.
"That's too close for comfort," Magnus told his grandchildren.
"We know," Nathaniel said with small nod. It was too close to Maya, to Gabriel, to his mother, to the twins. They were the people he so desperately wanted to keep away from Xander.
"He is being monitored by our people day in and day out," Emilia told her grandfather in the hopes of assuring him that everything was well. "He won't be able to make a move without us knowing."
