Writer's P O V
Nathaniel got down from the plane he boarded down to Washington DC on Wednesday 6pm. He suddenly had business contracts to sign with a man he has been trying to win over so he shifted coming down to Washington until he was done with everything. Luckily, he finished up with everything last night and couldn't wait to come down to Washington.
He was so nervous, yet he wanted to confirm all the possibilities that he might have impregnated Isabella without knowing as soon as possible.
He boarded a taxi which took him to the nearest hotel where he booked for a VIP room. He also looked into acquiring a penthouse during his stay in that hotel.
Early the next morning, he was going to approach Isabella with a business deal. He was very sure that Isabella won't recognize him so he won't have to be nervous in talking to her.
He plans to become very close to her through their business deal and then possibly get all the information he can get from her and more.
As Nathaniel rested in the hotel room, he hoped and prayed that everything goes smoothly.

Early the next morning, Nathaniel woke up and wore one of his black suits. He brushed his hair and got hold of his suitcase.
He came out of his room and locked the door, the female hotel worker saw him and gapsed out at how good looking Nathaniel was but Nathan wasn't looking her way. He came down and stood in front of the hotel, soon his phone rang and he picked up the call.
"Where on earth are you, man?" He asked the caller. "I'm parking right across the street. Oh, Nate, I can still recognize your handsome face." The caller replied.
Nathaniel looked up and across the street to notice a 2020 Mercedes-benz E 450 cabriolet.
"Ptt, Jay you still haven't changed even after having three kids." Nathaniel mocked as he walked towards the other end to meet up with Jay.
He got into the car and they both greeted each other.
"So long man. I heard everything from Paul. You only thought of seeing us because of your girl. Damn it." Jay smiled at him.
Nathan scoffed and asked. "My girl?"
"Yes, I heard you have two kids with her man, here I was thinking you'd never get married with your handsome face." Jay teased.
"Oh please, you should stop listening to Paul. He became delirious lately. But man, how much is this baby you are driving?" Nathan asked examining the car.
"It's worth a fortune man, so if you crash it, you're gonna be getting 10 of this as replacement." Jay warned.
Nathan shook his head. "You know I'm worth more than this man. Don't embarrass me. And get out, I need to head over to Queen's company." Nathan said as he pushed Jay out of the car.
Jay laughed and went down from the car.
"So, we'll be meeting later tonight right?" Jay asked as he stopped a taxi.
"Yeah man, see you later." Nathaniel answered as he turned on the engine of the car.
Jay closed the door and Nathaniel went over to the driver's seat.
With the aid of the GPS, he drove himself to Queen's empire.
He was so grateful that his two childhood friends, Paul and Jay are both based in washington. He had informed them both that he'll be arriving and he'll be sleeping in a hotel even tho they had both asked him to come over to their house.
Taking that they both had women staying with them, Nathaniel didn't want to disturb them.
Paul has a girlfriend who is staying with him and Jay was married with three kids.
He had only asked Jay to lend his car to him during his stay there.
He got down from the car after parking in the garage. He buttoned up his shirt properly and inhaled deeply before going into the company.

Isabella didn't want to leave her kids alone in the mansion, she wanted to spend all day with them but she had agreed with her mother, Felicity that she will resume work on Monday. As she prepared to go, promising to come back around 2:00 at noon, Kendra walked behind her to her car.
Isabella entered her car and Kendra followed her into the car.
"What is it, sweetheart? I already told you..."
"I want to go with you mom. I promise I won't disturb, I've always seen the Queen empire on television. I want to have a look around. I won't do anything wrong, I promise." Kendra pleaded.
Isabella thought for a while and nodded.
"I could give you some work to do. You aren't five, so get in." Isabella agreed.
Kendra made to get in but Isabella stopped her.
"What is that outfit you're wearing? Go change into something better, Ken. You aren't going for a party. You are heading to the office." Isabella probed.
"Really? Isn't it good enough?" Kendra pouted staring at her gown.
"It's not. Go change. I'll give you 7 minutes." Isabella promised.
"Okay, I'll go change now." Kendra agreed. She turned and ran back into the Mansion afraid Isabella might leave her.
She found a similar gown to the one Isabella is wearing and put it on. She went to her set of heels and picked out the one she thought matched her dress.
She ran back out and to the garage to see Isabella still waiting for her. She quickly opened the back sit to enter but surprisedly saw Kendrick sitting beside Isabella.
"You're coming with us?" Kendra asked while getting in.
"I figured out that I'll be bored by myself." Kendrick answered her.
Kendra sat down at the backseat, she packed her hair up nicely just the way Isabella packed hers.
"Really? You wanna look exactly like mom?" Kendrick gawked at her.
"Yes, what's wrong with that? She's my mom." Kendra eyed her brother.
"Well, the workers might mistake mom for you and vice versa. Just be careful." Kendrick warned as Isabella drove out from the mansion.
"I think she looks great like that." Isabella supported Kendra.
"She's trying to imitate you." Kendrick rolled his eyes at his sister who in turn rolled hers back.

Isabella called the securities at her company to make sure that there was no reporter around. She doesn't want a case whereby she and her kids will get surrounded and forced to answer questions.
She knows the reporters will still have questions to ask despite the fact that she answered all questions in the last interview she had.
She came down from car after driving to the garage. Kendrick was the second to come down followed by Kendra.
"Come here," Isabella pulled Kendra closer and cleaned off the excess make-up Kendra had applied on her face. She also adjusted her dress and nodded.
"You are okay now." She told and turned to look at Kendrick.
"Don't look at me. I'm not like some kid, I can take care of myself, mom." Kendrick groaned as he made his way to the front door.
Isabella giggled, Kendra frowned as they both followed him from behind.
The securities wanted interrogating Kendrick both paused when they saw Isabella and someone they thought to be her twin sister.
As Isabella got closer with Kendra, they got more confused as to who is who.
"Why aren't you opening the door for my son?" Isabella questioned.
"Yes..we..madam..." The head guard stuttered as they opened the door.
Kendrick smirked at them as he walked into the magnificent looking company where the workers were busy going about, some were just coming to work and some were busy chatting.
Immediately they all sighted Isabella and Kendra, they all started rushing down to their offices.
Isabella's secretary rushed towards her.
"Morning ma'am, welcome back." Her secretary smiled and greeted, turning from Isabella to Kendra.
"Yes. Did my mom call?" Isabella asked.
"No ma'am. Are these your kids?" The secretary asked looking from Kendra to Kendrick who was already moving ahead.
"Yes Maltida, have the board members ready for a meeting in an hour time. Inform my mom that I'm back to work and compile my work together. I'm leaving early today." Isabella informed as they walked slowly towards the elevator.
Nathaniel who was busy trying to get an appointment with the receptionist took his attention to the door when the workers started running to their offices. He is a boss himself and he understands that that only happens when he walks into the building.
His jaw dropped opened when he saw the younger version of Isabella and the older version of her.
"Oh my geez! Boss came to work with her kids." The receptionist exclaimed also staring at Isabella.
Nathaniel lost focus on what he was doing, he kept staring as Isabella and Kendra walked side by side along with her secretary to the elevator.
He didn't even realize when the receptionist called to his attention.
"Can I...can I get an appointment with her today?" Nathaniel turned back to her after Isabella had vanished.
"No sir, you can't today. I'm sorry." The receptionist smiled at him. She secretly admired his cute face.
"Oh fuck! Tomorrow then?" He asked.
"Um...I'll see to that, sir. I'll see to that I promise." The receptionist promised still enjoying the view of his godlike face.
