Nathans p.o.v
I stand in my penthouse apartment in L.A. looking out over the city as I do every single time I come here.
I bought this apartment on my 18th birthday. The only reason I bought this apartment is because of the large windows that act as a wall, and in this apartment you can see all over the city.
I gritted my teeth and whispered
" Where the hell are you?"
I have been searching for her for 4 years now and for 5 years I have not thought of anything but her. My biggest fear is that I will never find her again. I will never forgive my father if I don't see her again.
I could feel my anger coming, not only on my father but on myself to, I should have just been honest and told her who I really was, my plan was to tell her who I was, but we still had a week back, but I had never thought we would suddenly be home from Italy at full speed.
I had a huge quarrel with my dad that day. I needed just 15 min more with her, to explain to her what happened but my father had been called home to England. instead I left her in ignorance completely heart broken. I sighed,
" f**k" I screamed out over the city with my hands clasped in a fist.
Tomorrow I have to be present in my cousin's club. It's just the last thing I want to do, to be near sticky plastic dolls with eyes that only see money and power.
But being the son of the biggest mafia in England, I had no choice, it was my duty.
My best friend Steven, who is also my right hand in my business, looked at me resignedly, the day after, when he had come to pick me up.
" Did you not sleep last night Nathan?" He asked me.
" No," I said in a deep dominant voice, which should tell him that he might as well not stick to me. He put his hand on my shoulder, gave a sigh and said. " Jesus you look like s**t Nathan."
" Thanks," I answered.
We arrived at my cousin's club several hours before the doors opened to the public, we had business to arrange first.
Later in the evening when we were all done with our negotiations and future plans, it was time to celebrate our greatness. Not something I'm a fan of, and I certainly have no intention of attending the celebration either, but they will get my presence.
My cousin showed us the way to the vip suite, the only good room in the whole place.
Just like in my penthouse apartment, this vip has a whole wall of glass, here the guests just can't look into the vip suite, but we can see the guests. My plan tonight is to move the good comfy big armchair in the corner out to the glass wall so I can sit with my back to the guests, and the front facing the club guests who can't see me, and here I will sit and spend my time letting my thoughts lead me away with my queen.
I pushed the armchair out to the middle of the window and sat down. I leaned all the way down so my head could rest on the backrest. I put my arms on either side of the armrest. I looked out over the guest, closed my eyes and saw her in front of me in my mind. I can hear my cousin asking Steven what's wrong with me. And I clenched my fists, ready to snap, but I quickly relaxed again when I heard Steven answer him that it was probably best to give me some space.
A little over an hour later I am greeted by a pair of cold fingers sneaking up over my chest, and a warm breath whispering in my ear. " I must satisfy you, you look like someone who can use it,'' she whispered in a sensual voice. As I open my eyes my imagination disappears, the video in my head of me and hailey is gone. An irritation filled me, I clenched my teeth together and with clenched fists I loudly said with a deep and dominant voice." If you don't get her away from me in 3 seconds, I will kill her myself"
"1" ....
"2" ...
My cousin removed her just in time.
I looked out over all the club guests again just like I did before, I put my head back on the backrest and just as I was about to close my eyes and welcome my imagination, my eye caught something at the door.
Hailey? In a split second, my whole body has changed position. I now sit on the edge of the armchair with legs spread, my whole body bent over myself and my arms on my knees. I focused my gaze on her and locked it.
" Hey Nathan what's up," Steven said while squatting next to me. He must have noticed my reaction.
" It's hailey," I answered. without removing my fixed gaze
He looked at me and followed my gaze, " Are you sure?"
"Yes" I answered him with a sharp tone, still not removing my gaze from her, they had now moved over to a sofa group, she is sitting half with her back and half with her side to me, she in no way looks like she wants to be there, the man next to her put his arm around her shoulders. I clenched my fists, and my jaw, but my eyes still focused on just her.
"Calm down Nathan," Steven said with a low voice.
" She is mine and no one Else can touch her." I snarled at him still full focus on her, my eyes were locked, anxiety of losing sight of her and out of her life again.
" I want 2 men near their table so I can hear what they're talking about, immediately" I snapped. " Of course, I'll be back in a bit, '' Steven replied. And got up and walked out of the room with his phone in his hand.
I felt a little shock when hailey turned around and looked me straight in the eye. but that's not possible, to look in here from down there, I thought. she turned around again, but not long after she turned around again with her gaze directly on me.
She can feel me I thought immediately and took myself in shaping a small smile but my sanity quickly came back to reality when she for the 3rd time turns around and finds there is nothing.
She moved closer to the i***t next to him and he seemed to enjoy it. His face showed it all, when he looked over at his friend smiled and meanwhile he gave a sign and 2 SEK after his friend was talking to her friend. My phone buzzed in my pocket, I answered it.
"What? "
"The friend and his girlfriend are leaving now, '' said the voice at the other end, it was Jonathan, one of the men that Steven had put down near them to listen with.
Idiot, I thought to myself.
" Yes, I can damn well see that, I'm not blind," I snarled at him, he became quiet, " something else useful I can use," I asked him. "no" he answered and I hung up, Steven has come back and is now squatting next to me again.
" Are you sure it's her?'' he asked me.
" I have no doubt," I responded. Still eyes fixed on her.
Steven took out his phone and showed the picture he and all my men had got of me and Hailey from our vacation 5 years ago. It was the only picture I had of her, a selfie I had taken of us with my phone at the time.
" It does not look like her," he said.
" It's her,'' I said again with a sharp tone.
I know she does not look like herself, she was only 15 then when the picture was taken I was 17 myself, she is 20 years old now and in 20 days exactly she will be 21. Her body has changed markedly. She is beautiful, she even dyed her hair red.
" That's why you could not find her," I said in a low voice.
" What?" He said
" Because she has changed so much" I answered him.
The 2 friends they were with are long gone, and the i***t next to her has turned up the charm for full blown, he is trying hard to be allowed to taste what's mine. I groulded and gritted my teeth. Luckily, however, she did not allow him, which I appreciate, she had shaken her head a few times, removed his hand if it moved too high up. The i***t got up to pick up a few drinks for them.
She turned around and stared at me. She kept her gaze until the i***t was back and disturbed her.
" That was intense," Steven said followed by a question: " do you think she knows you are here?"
"No" .. I said "she can feel me just like I can feel her," my eyes are still locked on her, she is tired now I can see it in her, what happened I thought, it went fast.
A lot of noise a little to the left of them removed my focus from her for only 1 min but that was enough, she was gone and the i***t was not to be seen anywhere either. "f**k" I screamed out loudly.
" Find her" I groulded loud .... "now!"
My brain was running on high pressure. Was it her boyfriend, what happened to her 5 years ago? Is she happy without me, can she ever forgive me, does she still love me, am I still hers?
Had she been drugged by the i***t, yes that is why she got tired so quickly, now it makes better sense, I was already at the entrance to the club I could not spot them anywhere I exclaimed a loud aggressive roar. Then my phone buzzed in my pocket.
It was Steven," did you find her?'' I answer before he could say hello.
" They are in the hotel next door but I do not know what room they are in." He replied
" I'm there now." I answered him and hung up. And then I stepped forcefully in the door with heavy quick steps till I stood in front of the reception.
" Which room are they in?" I asked the lady, aggressive. She looked a little scared, I felt a little sorry for her. She just fits her job but I do not care right now I have only one purpose. Find hailey before the i***t does anything to her.
"I ... I don't know, I saw them just walking towards the elevator, the girl could not even walk, she was apparently too drunk."
I clenched my hand, leaned my face down towards her, leaned slightly over the sideboard, I squinted my eyes together staring at her " she is not that drunk by 2 beers."
Her gaze hardened and she sank the club in her throat she could feel.
" I want to see your surveillance room" I ordered
"But .... It's just poli" ....
I interrupted her with my fist when I slapped it on the table before her. Then a loud slap echoed in the storage hallway.
" Do you have any idea who I am" I exclaimed hard and cash
" Ehmmm ..... No" she answered
I squeezed my eyes together. I looked at her while in a low voice I said " I am Nathan silvarto. So I ask for the last time where the f**k is your surveillance room." She looked pale and scared and with a nervous hand she reached out and pointed towards a door a little further away.
"Thank you" I said and walked towards the door. While I called Philip.
Philip is my hacker, my computer techniques and my eyes to see and observe when I can't, it took him About 6 min to get over here, he was not with us tonight he was actually on another task but I need him right now. nothing is more important right now than finding haley ...
It took him no less than 5 min to find the room they went into.
Room 1015 here we come.
