ADOPTED HEIR **Meeting Kendrick**
Writer's P O V
Nathaniel remained in Queen's company hoping to see Isabella again. He wasn't so sure he could just approach her randomly so he wanted them to meet through business.

Soon, he saw the lady that looked so much like her younger self with her twin brother. Nathaniel concluded in his mind that they must be his kids seeing his exact picture on the boy's face.
He palmed his face and looked away from them when the Kendra looked towards his direction. He just can't approach them either when he doesn't know what to say. The truth is, Nathaniel is not really prepared to meet his possible kids.
He's way too nervous about everything. He took deep breaths when he saw Kendrick coming back alone.
Okay. I can't delay things, I only have a month to win them over. I must win them over in a month time. Maybe I should just meet him. Let me talk to him. He might not recognize the resemblance. Nathaniel encouraged himself before taking steps to approach him.
Kendrick got stopped by a worker who handed him an envelope and told him some things. Kendrick turned back and made to leave the company before Nathaniel's voice stopped him.
"Excuse me, young man." Nathaniel called and sighed.

Kendrick stopped then turned to face him.
"Hi. Who are you?" Kendrick asked equally taking steps closer to him.
"Um...I happen to be your mother's old time friend. We schooled together in Buford Wyoming, that was where I also grew up before my dad flew me out to Portland."
"Okay..how can I help you?" Kendrick asked examining him.

"Um..I just want an appointment with her but it seems so hard. I heard recent news about her and came here to look for her. Do you mind linking me to her?" Nathaniel requested.
"Um..you see, my mom is really busy right now and I don't think she'll be able to see you. But I'll make sure to inform her about you. What is your name, sir?" Kendrick promised and asked.
"Um...I'm Nate. Nathaniel Mikealson by name." Nathan extended his hand for a handshake in which Kendrick took and shook him back.
"Kend. I'm waiting here." Kendra shouted attracting everyone's attention.
"Oh, that's my sister with her loud mouth. I better go," Kendrick turned and made to leave but Nathaniel stopped him.
"Can I ask you what your name and age is?" Nathaniel questioned.
"I'm kendrick. I'm 18." Kendrick answered before running off to meet Kendra.
"Who was that?" Kendra asked Kendrick when they both entered the car that was going to take them to the mall.
"Just a man. A man who seems a bit familiar, yet I'm not sure I've met him before." Kendrick shrugged in responds.

Isabella was busy working on the files that needed her attention after sending Kendra off with Kendrick. She realized Kendra was no use being in the office with her. She just walks around touching everything that called to her attention.
So she got rid of her by asking Kendrick to take her shopping, she also asked for her personal driver to drive them both.
A knock came to the door followed by a push.
"What? I already asked Vincent to give you guys the amount you'll need. What is it again?" Isabella groaned as she continued working without looking up.
No reply came and that made her pause her work, she lifted her head to look at the figure that was standing and watching her.
"David. What do you want?" She groaned again and returned to work.
"I've see your kids. I saw them while coming into the company. I couldn't really believe it when I saw the interview. You must have gone through a lot with those two cute kids."
Isabella had to pause her work again. She looked up at him.
"You didn't tell me about this anyways. I thought we were friends, Isabel. I kinda feel betrayed by your actions. You should at least consider my feelings for you." David said looking pitiful.
Isabella sighed. "I'm sorry that I didn't inform you, David. I just didn't think it was nece...I'm sorry." Isabella apologized.
"It's okay. I'm not that mad at you. I was even planning a surprise birthday party but thought you didn't need it after the interview. I mean...your joy must be full after being reunited with them." David reasoned.
"Indeed. But I'm still sorry." Isabella apologized again.
"Your mom picked me as your suitor. I kind of convinced her that I'll become a good husband to you and she agreed to marrying you since I've known you longer than anyone else." David informed.
"David, I'm not getting married and you know that. I have my kids now and all I wanna do is to concentrate on them and the company. It won't work between us." Isabella simply told him.
David chuckled. "I knew you'd say that. But I'm ready to win you over and I'll start with your kids. I'll start by winning your kids over." David grinned.
Isabella shook her head and returned to her work.
"Let's go out on a date tonight. Treat me to a dinner." Requested David.
"No, I'm going out with my kids. Sorry, I can't." Isaac answered him.
"It's an apology dinner. Apologize properly. I'll forgive you completely after the dinner. You should at least consider how I feel." David pressed.
"I thought you said you weren't that mad at me, David. What is your problem?" Isabella groaned.
"Just agree that you'll go on a date with me either today or tomorrow." David kept pushing.
"Okay. Okay. Tomorrow then. I promise I'll treat you to a dinner tomorrow. Happy now?" Isabella rolled her eyes as she promised.
David chuckled and went to stand behind her.
"Now, that's my girl. You won't regret it. I'll make it really fun. We can even go to the cinema from there and to the..."
"David. David. I won't go anywhere else with you, just the dinner and that's all. So don't you get your hopes up." Isabella interrupted.
David chuckled again and took his hands to her shoulder.
"Stop it. Stop it David. I will call the securities if you touch me again." Isabella frowned at him.
David giggled and left her. He walked to the door and stopped.
"Tomorrow then. I'll be at your house by 7 to pick you up. Bye." He left the office after that and went down to the floor.
Oh his way out, he saw Nathaniel pacing upward while some female workers were busy admiring his handsome face.
Nathan's face looked a little bit familiar to him but he concluded that he haven't met him before. At that, he walked out of the company.

After an unsuccessful attempt to meet privately with Isabella, Nathaniel returned to his hotel room after spending hours at the company.
He settled down on the bed, his eyes remained on the ceiling as he recalled the moment Isabella stepped into the company with Kendra.
She looked so much different from her younger self. She was now taller, slender and looked like a model. She was a bit chumby when she was younger tho with bright eyes and cute cheeks.
He chuckled at the remembrance and blamed himself for spoiling the little relationship they had. If he didn't raped her then things could have been different between them. He might have probably married her and had one or two kids with her. Kids that they will both train and love together.
He groaned and tossed about on the bed. He recalled the moment he also spoke to his supposed son. He could see his younger self in him even tho he still wants a DNA test to confirm it all.
And the girl? Oh, she was so so beautiful and also looked cute. He could have bonded a lot with her if they had grown up as one big family.
Nathaniel shut his eyes close full of regrets. I just ended up spoiling everything. He thought to himself sadly.

Nathaniel's ringing tone woke him up, he sat up on the bed and pulled his phone out from his trouser pocket.
He answered drowsily into the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hello, Nathan. Where the hell are you? Why haven't you been replying my text messages?" He heard Paul yell into the phone.
"I was asleep man, I'm sorry." Nathan apologized standing up from the bed.
"When are you getting here? Come over John's Liquor bar, Jay's here and he is also waiting for you." Paul announced.
"Okay. I'll be there. Give me an hour or so. I don't know how far it is but I'll be there as quick as possible." Nathaniel answered standing up from the bed and going into the bathroom.
He washed his face and changed his dress before going down with his car keys.
With the help of the GPS in Jay's car, he was able to get there safe and quick.
