Young Master Returns for his Abandoned Wife
“You abandoned me in the middle of the night! You left me alone for five years!” Maya hissed as he lifted his hand to touch where her slap had left its mark. “I left to protect you! I left because I love you!” Nathaniel protested in a futile attempt to defend himself. —————————————————— Five years ago, Nathaniel De La Rue found love and a new life in Arlington City, but his past soon caught up with him and forced him to leave behind everything he had built, including his beloved Maya Miller. Now, Nathaniel is done running. He must confront his past to protect those that matter the most to him. After fighting for his right to live and accepting his rightful place in the De La Rue family, he finally returns to Arlington City. However, upon his return, Nathaniel finds that his world is not the same as he left it. Maya, the woman he loves, is engaged to another man. His best friend now works for the man who stole Maya from him. Furthermore, the woman who had cared for Nathaniel like a mother is being abused by her husband. It’s as if he has to start from scratch. But things have changed. This time he has the De La Rue Family by his side.
Through it All
"Are you really fine with this?" Nathaniel asked as he pressed his forehead on Maya's.
The doctors had already come and gone, changing Maya's bandages and checking on the stitching. Luckily it hadn't torn with all the excitement over the news.
"Yes," Maya responded with a nod. She could see the worry in Nathaniel's eyes, this wasn't something they had talked about again, but at the same time they hadn't done anything to prevent it.
"It's not in our plans," Nathaniel whispered.
"It's not, but that doesn't mean I don't want to have more children with you," she said as she felt her cheeks heating up at the confession.
"Children," Nathaniel hummed, his thoughts clearly floating to the idea of Maya and him having their own family, a dream they once shared. "How many?"
Maya chuckled as he asked.
"I once told you just one," she confessed.
