440 Pay It Tenfolds
“What is it?” Daniel asked gruffly, accepting the envelope from his assistant. He was still in a sour mood and was not ready to deal with trivial issues, especially with Marcel being nothing but a stumbling block to his plans.
Hence, when he pulled out the documents from the envelope, the first thing to slip out and fall on his lap were photographs and he picked up one of the copies staring at the photograph of his son, Marcel carrying a woman who seemed to be unconscious in his arms.
Whoever took the photograph must have been aiming not to get caught because what he managed to capture was the back view of Marcel and the unconscious lady’s brunette hair cascading down.
Vexed, Daniel lifted a brow at his assistant, “What the hell is this?” his tone showed that he wasn’t one bit impressed by the information.

“Just stop!” Daniel waved his hand, silencing him with the gesture, tired of his blabbering. Nobody told him that his fucking assistant was a stammer until now.
Daniel rubbed his forehead, easing the headache. He looked at his assistant with furious eyes, “Who told you that I’m interested in the women Marcel fucks?”
Even if Marcel denied it, Daniel knew he and his son weren’t too far different. Women were expendable and were needed for their pleasure, which is why he had turned a blind eye to his son’s sexual rendezvous. He was a man and needed a release. However, what Daniel wouldn’t condone is any woman trying to wrap her tiny claws around his son’s weak heart and try to destroy the engagement between him and Clara.
The only thing Daniel needed at the moment was for Marcel and Clara to get married first and give him a son, after that, he didn’t care how many mistresses or concubines his son kept. Clara would come to know later in their marriage that men are polygamous in nature and her role there is just to keep the family together even if Marcel sticks his dick in more than one pussy.
.....
That was the only reason Daniel hadn’t dealt with his assistant yet for bothering him with this nonsense – he needed to know if this bitch is the reason Marcel has been going against his plans lately. If that was the case, then he had to step in and get rid of her for good before it escalates. He wouldn’t let his son commit the same mistake he almost did with that woman.
Hence, with a bored expression, Daniel decided to go through the rest of the pictures, and in less than a minute, he jerked off his seat with lightning speed, his eyes as wide as the moon, with his hand trembling as he stared at the picture.
His assistant caught his sudden interest in the photograph and began to explain, “I thought it was strange but your son Marcel has been quite involved with the girl lately. So I did some more investigation before coming here and I came to discover that she has relations with Elijah, the mercenary who cost us our men in that incident a month ago.”
Unfortunately, Daniel was not even listening to his explanation, his eyes fixed on the young lady in the picture. Even with the red hair, the resemblance was uncanny, Natalie. Or would have been her, because there was no way that the woman he loved years back would be this younger, even with surgeries, it was impossible.
Unless it was her child.
A chill washed over Daniel as realization dawned on him, Natalie had a child and he didn’t know. Of course, it was like Natalie to keep important stuff like this from him so he doesn’t know and use it against her. He must have had her during that time she ran away from him before her death.

Daniel then pulled out the background check his assistant did on the girl and began to read through the document. The first thought that came to Daniel’s mind was that the child was his and his son Marcel had been fucking his sister.
However, as Daniel read down, he found out the date of birth didn’t match, and judging from his jagged memory, that meant that Natalie was already pregnant and gave birth to her before he caught onto her hiding place and brought her back once again. Right after he had her, more like forced himself on her – the only memory he regretted having.
But what do you expect? He gave her his heart, the whole of it! And what did she do with it? She had to go fall for that lowly being? What was his name again? He couldn’t exactly remember. But Daniel had been hurt raw and left bleeding, the first time he gave out his heart and he got what in return, huh? So he wanted to inflict the pain back.
Getting her friend Penelope pregnant hadn’t been in the plan, but he never regretted having Marcel. Perhaps, Marcel was the reason he had broken out of her charm and decided she wasn’t worth his attention. Thankfully, she saved him from the guilt and ended her own life.
However, Daniel didn’t know how to feel seeing that Natalie had a daughter and she was together with his son, Marcel, wasn’t fate funny?
Suddenly, Daniel began to laugh, like full-blown hysterical laughter as if he had lost his damn mind. But it gurgled to a halt in the end and his expression turned deadly.
Even though Natalie’s dead, she ruined him, what makes her think then that he would go easy on her daughter? Whatever sin she committed against him, her daughter would pay it ten folds.
