Chapter 8 N.. Nathan kane

Retribution could be a peace giver. The Jones and Queens were now enjoying their victory.

Ethan and Mabel were already engaged and they were also able to scoop the "Couple of the year award". It is a privilege to the revered couples. Their names were mentioned in high esteem.

Ethan may not be the most powerful and influential person in the Liberty University and the surrounding Universities but definitely he will be on the list. His fame and popularity now went beyond Liberty University.

It can only get better for the two families; the Jones and the Queens whose alliance brought positive feedback. Their business has grown tremendously. It was like the disappearance of Nathan had opened the door of more money, opportunities and power.

The news of the boy that assaulted or that attempted murder as the authorities and the two families reported has died down like a wave.

It is now a thing of the past. nobody knows what happened all they knew was that all of a sudden they stopped searching for him.

In all Nathan was always on the wrong side of the story. He was abused and abused. He was quite famous but for the wrong reasons.

Mabel Queen as her friends always teased her is now having the life she always dreamed of. Their family was rich but the alliance and friendship with the Queens made them better.

Nathan was a thing of the past for her although his last stare on her before he fell off always makes her feel bad. The Nathan stare was so heavy, it was like he wanted to pour his heavy laden heart to her.

She was behind the two men; Ethan and his brother Luiz when they shot him. She watched as he writhed in pain.

Up to now she couldn't discern how she felt when they shot him because definitely she wasn't unhappy but still was not really happy. 'Relieved' that must be how I felt she thought to herself.

"Girl what are you thinking?" Zara asked carrying a package

She jostled Mabel from her thoughts.

"Nothing, nothing I'm fine" she lied.

"Are you sure because I have been calling you and yet you didn't answer"

"Sorry I didn't actually hear you" Mabel commented as she tries to cheer up

Zara looked at her and continued " the delivery guy brought this for you" she handed her the package.

"Hmmm Ethan, he won't stop spoiling me with gifts" she then opens the package.

"Awwwn so beautiful " Zara complimented with her two hands on her face as Mabel brought out a beautiful necklace.

"Please dear wear it while coming for our dinner Ethan your love" she read out the typed words in the package and then smiled shyly.

"oh! she is blushing, lover girl"

"What are you wearing to the dinner by the way?" Zara added

"I don't know but let go shopping " she replied

"Shopping it is!" Zara shouted with ecstacy.

"Ough! ough! ough!" a patient coughs

"Doc.he is awake!" shouted a nurse

"Have you checked his pulse?" The doctor asked the nurse while wearing his stethoscope.

After running some checks he smiled.

"He is getting better, keep me posted on any development " he left.

"Sir please this way" a man respectfully directed.

A strong built man around his late seventies surrounded by his secretary and guards marches into a magnificent building.

The staff and individuals inside the building bows whenever he passes by them. He must be a prominent person.

He then enters a wide beautiful room that could house about hundred individuals comfortably. His guards stayed outside the room behind the door while his secretary and personal guard entered with him.

The room, called the Conference room, had a rectangular arrangement of seats and a very long immovable table. The room had an intimidating aura and view.

Individuals were already waiting for him, they stood up immediately and bowed as he sat down and they followed suit.

The man that welcomed him earlier outside the building stood up and made some opening speech before sitting down.

The man listened as the individuals seated with him presented.

"Sir we are worried about your deteriorating health" one of them said

He continued

"We would like to know your plans on how to manage the situation. this organization requires someone that's able and young."

Though the man didn't like the man's manner of approach he was still telling the truth. He is now an old ailing man.

"Sir if i may" a lady asked, seeking for permission

She was given the go ahead so she proceeded "Sir here are some experienced and intelligent individuals that can fill your shoes" as she passed it to him.

This annoyed the old man. He wasn't happy with their reports but still they were right since something needs to be done.

"I have heard you guys and I will give you my feedback," he said .

As he stood to live all the board members raised in respect and bowed.

Grii!Grii!! The man's cell phone rings.

"Sir! he is now awake" the caller spoke

"ok I will be right there" he replied as he left with his escort.

He arrived at the Kane Castle, a very huge and beautiful building.

Without any doubt it is regarded as the most magnificent and outstanding building in the Swiss country. It is a testament of the work of architecture, art, science and design.

Every structure in the building was in its own league, a place where even the gods could dine happily. It is like paradise on earth.

It is equipped with every facility ranging from pool, tennis court, gym, basketball pitch, snooker court and many others.

A look into the garage will surely send one to the wish world. Fleet of cars lined up. There were so many that one could mistake it for a car selling shop. Vintage, contemporary and future cars could be seen. It was a sight to behold.

Entering inside the building one will surely confirm that what he saw outside was just a tip of the building's greatness. It is outstanding and stunning.

Kane's Castle is officially called Olympus, named after the building where the Gods of Greek mythology reside. The building is used as a reference in school, building companies and many other sectors. It is rumored that the portrait of this building lies in the country's presidential villa.

"Welcome sir" the doctor greeted as he bows to the man

He went where the patient lay and sat beside him. The patient was just staring at him.

He held his hand passionately and asked "How are you doing son?"

"Am ough! ough! ough!" he coughed

"Easy, easy son" the man pats him.

"What's your name son?"

"N...N..Na.. Nathan" he weakly replied.

"Welcome back Nathan" he said with a face masked with beams of smile.
