"So man, how did it go?" Paul inquired staring at Nathaniel who was sitting across the table in a bar.
Nathan sighed and adjusted on his sit. "It didn't really go well, but we are getting closer," Nathan answered.
"You mean you weren't able to speak to Isabella? You didn't see her?" Paul asked in amusement.
"I thought you planned on getting to her through business. They didn't give you the audience?"
"Yes, I went as an individual person. I don't want to involve the company just yet. I'll involve the company when I finally meet and see her reaction. I want to see if she'll be able to recognize me." Nathan explained.
"I don't think she'll be able to recognize you. You have changed a lot, man. Damn! You look more handsome than ever, growing old is working well for you." Jay teased at the end.
Nathan rolled his eyes at him. "You still haven't been able to change your nasty way of talking, huh."
Jay laughed. "Well, I remain me I guess."
"So, what are your main plans now? What will you do if Isabella recognizes you and then chase you away? I still don't think she has forgiven or forgotten you, I mean...you are the father of her kids. I'm sure when she looks at them she'll always think of you." Paul reasoned.
"Yes." Nathan nodded remembering exactly how Kendrick looked. He looked exactly like his younger self.
He shifted on his sit again and lifted the drink in front of him, he made to drink from the cup but paused, remembering the last time he drank alcohol, it was the night he raped Isabella. Ever since, he stayed clear of it, afraid he'll cause havoc again.
"I'll try to win her back. I'll explain things to her and if she still doesn't forgive me then I'll have to get to her through the kids. They won't be so hard to win over, especially the girl." Nathan smiled at the clear picture of Kendra.
She looked so beautiful and innocent, just like the young Isabella.
"Look at that smile on his face. How are you so sure they don't resent you? You think Isabella will allow them see you?" Jay scoffed.
"Well, I have no choice. I know it's hard and facing Isabella is also kind of hard for me, man. I'll just have to try and be a man, I have to apologise for my mistakes now that I've found her. I mean I never knew she got adopted and changed surnames, I would have found her earlier." Nathan reasoned.
"Yeah, let's not be negative, Jay. I support and wish you luck on that." Paul informed, raising his drink for a toast.
Nathan and Jay both lifted their glasses but Nathaniel ended up dropping the drink.
"You still don't drink? Even till now?" Jay asked noticing what Nathaniel did.
"What do you think? He is still very much afraid. He might end up raping another Isabella." Paul was the one who replied this time earning a laughter from Jay and an eye roll from Nathaniel.
He knows Nathaniel won't get mad at him, they do that to themselves all the time.

Nathan prepared and left for Queen's company the next day. He requested from the new receptionist that was on desk to see Isabella but he was told that Isabella hasn't arrived yet. He then asked to know where Isabella lives but the receptionist couldn't disclose the location.
"Sir, I don't know where she lives. Only her secretary does, you can go ask her." That was the receptionist way of making Nathaniel go away. With the right description, Nathaniel went up to Isabella's office to see her secretary on sit.
The secretary, Maltida stood up from her sit in awe. She thought an Angel just entered the floor. She stared at him with her mouth widely patted open and watched as he approached her.
"Hi, you're Isabella's secretary right?" Nathaniel asked bringing out his card.
"Yes handsome...I mean, yes sir," Maltida patted her cheeks to wake up from her dreamy state.
"Okay, can I get her home address, please?" Nathan requested.
Maltida looked down at the card he showed her.
"Um..I'm sorry, but I can't. A lot of guys also do that," Maltida replied looking sad.
"It's against our working..."
"I know, but I really need to know where she stays. I have business with her, I'm an old friend and just want to surprise her." Nathan explained while smiling a little.
Maltida blinked feeling nervous, his handsome looks made her feel so nervous.
"Um.." she looked down and back at him.
"We could grab lunch together today, if you don't mind." Nathan added giving her that sexy look.
"Okay. Okay. She stays at.......!"
"Okay thanks. And I'll appreciate if you don't tell her about my visit." Nathan requested with a smile before dropping down his card for her.
"You can call me for lunch." He added before walking into the elevator.
Maltida lifted the card and kissed it. "Oh he is so so handsome, you have won yourself a handsome guy, Tida." Maltida exclaimed feeling so excited.
Nathan left the company and got into his car, headed for Isabella's mansion. He had purposely did with he did with Maltida to get Isabella's home address and since Maltida is Isabella's secretary, that means she'll know a lot about Isabella's private life. He was going to ask her all about it when they meet for lunch.
He literally killed two birds with one stone. One of the many advantage he gets for his good looks.
He drove for 38 minutes before getting to the estate where Isabella stays. He started looking for the particular mansion after that, and since all the houses there looked so much alike, it was very difficult for him to find her mansion.
He kept looking and looking, getting confused now and then until he sighted Kendrick and Kendra walking into a huge gate.
He immediately parked the car and jumped down from the car. Before the securities could lock the gate, he yelled Kendrick's name.
Kendrick looked back and saw him.
"What was that?" Kendra turned to Kendrick and questioned.
"You go inside, I'll be with you shortly." Kendrick told her before walking to the gate.
Open it, he told the securities. The two guards looked at each other.
"He might be a bad person, sir." One replied.
"I know him, open it." Kendrick insisted.
The guards opened the gate to see Nathaniel still hopefully waiting for him.
"Hey" he called looking back at the closed gate.
"Hey, I got your address but it was difficult finding this particular building." Nathan said.
"But what are you doing here? You're here for my mom? She left for work not too long ago." Kendrick explained fixing his fingers into his trouser pocket.
Two girls about 17 and 16 of age that were passing by, waved at Kendrick and exclaimed. "He is so handsome." The younger one complimented.
Nathan turned to look at the owner of the voice, the two girls also saw him and they became a little scared.
"See, it's his dad. Let's go, he might scold us." The older one pulled the younger one and they left.
Nathaniel turned his attention back on Kendrick. "Do you mind if I speak to you for a moment?" Nathaniel requested.
"Yeah sure. Those girls already think you're my dad," Kendrick chuckled thinking of it as a crazy idea.
Nathaniel walked Kendrick across the road and stopped.
"I actually have a thing to ask of you. You see I'm not just anybody to your mother, I..I used to really like her because she was always this beautiful and bright, she is fuçking intelligent too. And now, I really want to meet her but in a special occasion and you could help me arrange that, can we meet up tonight?"
"You could help me win her heart, you know." Nathaniel requested.
Kendrick stared at him for a while without saying a word.
"What?" Nathaniel asked.
"Have we met before? I mean, before the company and stuff. Have we met before that?" Kendrick inquired.
"No. Why do you ask?" Nathaniel answered.
"You look really familiar. Way too familiar to me. It's weird." Kendrick reasoned.
Nathan just chuckled, grateful that Kendrick still hasn't figured out where the familiarity came from.
"Can you type in your number here? I would really love that." Nathan once again asked, extending his phone to him.
Kendrick suspiciously took it and typed in his number. "You look like a good man, in a normal day, I wouldn't give my number to strangers, I'd rather punch them in the nose." Kendrick smirked.
Nathaniel chuckled. "You made a good decision today then. I'll chat you up later, you should be able to make up your mind before 8pm tonight. Thanks for seeing me. I'll make it up to you." Nathan rounded up and started leaving.
Kendrick stood there and watched him as he went into the car he came with.
He looks so familiar. Where have I seen him? Oh fuçk! He looks really familiar. Kendrick scratched the back of his neck as he went back to his mother's mansion.
