Chapter 195 I’m Not So Sure… 

Nathaniel sank back into the sofa, fatigue etching itself onto his face as he gestured impatiently at everyone. Leave, all of you!” 

Xavier and Hudson promptly exited the office. Freya, appearing as though she had just been roused from a dream, rose slowly in a daze and began to shuffle towards the door

Just as she was on the brink of leaving, Nathaniel’s voice halted her

Freya!” 

Freya swiveled to face him

Their eyes met, each unable to decipher the other’s emotions

Mr. Morgan?Freya’s voice was unnervingly composed

A heaviness settled in Nathaniel’s chest, prompting him to draw a deep breath. Once the East Saeville drafts are finalized, I’ll escort you to Porejimo.” 

Freya’s grip on her bag tightened ever so slightly as she flashed a small, reassuring smile. Sure!” 

Nathaniel had anticipated more from her

He was beginning to feel unhinged

This version of Freya terrified him. He would have preferred if she had cried, screamed, or even cursed him upon sight. Her calm demeanor in his presence was suffocating

You may leave now.” 

Freya nodded and turned towards the door

We have a dinner engagement with the lady from Andala Corp tonight. You can freshen up at Newport Villa, Hudson will pick you up later.” 

Freya paused in her tracks. She nodded once more, then exited

The door clicked shut, leaving the office in silence

Nathaniel ran a hand over his face. He rose to his feet pacing towards the newly refurbished floorto- ceiling windows

Time seemed to rewind to three years prior. 

He could almost see Killian’s bloodshot eyes boring into his soul, desperate to drag Nathaniel down 

with him

Yes, he had been standing right here. Nathaniel hadn’t anticipated George’s presence in the building

The Gomez family had declared bankruptcy, and all staff members were given a month’s leave. The building was virtually empty, save for a few security guards, but it seemed George had been lurking there too

Who knew what that fool had been up to, skulking around. He might have witnessed Nathaniel and Killian’s final confrontation

Nathaniel hadn’t said much. He remembered Killian questioning his true identity

He had claimed to be the son of Zander Morgan. His mother was Valeria Flores

To his disgust, Killian hadn’t even mentioned Nathaniel’s father’s name once, even on the verge of death. He had only inquired about Nathaniel’s mother

Nathaniel had endured a childhood of agony and trauma to reach this day, and he was determined to claim what he deserved

If his guess was correct, Killian had loved Valeria wholeheartedly

Killian had the audacity to ask Nathaniel about his mother’s wellbeing, so he had told him the harsh truth
