ADOPTED HEIR **Nathaniel**
Writer's P O V
2.00pm. **Portland.**

Nathaniel sat behind his big vice president desk working on some files, he was trying to finish his work fast and leave the office when his secretary rushed into his office with an iPad.
"Sir, you need to see this." Daniel said.
"I'm not interested, Dan. I told you I wanna go home early." Nathaniel groaned at him.
"No sir, I think you really need to watch this interview." Daniel insisted.
Nathaniel paused what he was doing and looked up at Daniel, he looked into his face to see whether he was being serious or not. Daniel held a serious look on.
"Give it to me." Nathaniel demanded.

Daniel handed over the iPad to him.
"What's these?" He asked looking at the paused video.
"Just watch it. It's about a lady named Isabella Asher Queen who is really popular for her success in the business line." Daniel explained.
Nathaniel played the video reluctantly and started watching the interview.

The lady looked really familiar but he doesn't know when and where he met her. He kept watching the interview, slowly he started becoming interested in all she was revealing about herself.
He sat up on his seat and continued watching it.
"What?" He muttered and paused the video.
He looked up at Daniel in disbelief.
"She...she..??" He was confused.
"Yes sir, she is the lady you asked me to find. She is Isabella Asher Queen and lived in Buford Wyoming, she left Buford Wyoming the same week you left and you've watched her interview. She actually got raped on her fifteenth birthday, she got pregnant and had twins. A boy and a girl. Her story is really fascinating, why did you ask me to look into her again sir?" Daniel explained and asked.
Nathaniel ignored his question and played the video from the start. He watched and listened to the interview again and the pictures of her twins that were released.
He looked at the girl picture very well and gasped.
"She is just like Isabella when she was young. She's her lookalike." Nathaniel mumbled.
"Yes sir," Daniel chipped in.
He equally zoomed in the picture of the boy and looked at it very well. He scoffed, closed his eyes and opened it again.
Why does the boy look like me? Am I crazy or am I hallucinating things? Nathaniel wondered.
"Daniel," he called.
"Yes sir." Daniel answered.
"Don't you think he...he looks like me?" Nathaniel asked.
"I also think so. I think the boy really looks like you, I was really doubting it but Beatrice was the one who confirmed it and that's the reason I ran here to show you. Could it be a coincidence sir? How does the boy really look like you?" Daniel wondered.
"How old did she say they are again?" Nathaniel asked, his mind was already all over the places. He was beginning to get nervous too.
"Sir, they are 18 now. They turned 18 just yesterday." Daniel supplied.
"And she said she got pregnant because she was raped on her fifteenth birthday?" Nathaniel asked again to be sure.
"Ye..yes sir. What's wrong? Why are you suddenly shaking? Your hands are shaking sir... should I..should I call for a doctor?" Daniel asked, alarmed.
The iPad fell off from Nathaniel's hands, he gasped and covered his mouth.
"Sir??" Daniel called again.
"Give me a minute, Daniel." Nathaniel requested.
"Really? Are you sure?" Daniel asked.
"Yes, please." Nathaniel confirmed.
"Okay sir. But should I call for a doctor? You don't seem fine. You were okay this morning. What's wrong sir?" Daniel asked getting more scared.
"Daniel just get out. Please!" Nathaniel damanded, yelling a little bit.
"Okay. I'll...I'll go." Daniel shook his head and started taking steps backwards until he got to the door. He opened it and closed it.
Nathaniel immediately lifted the iPad. He went straight to the net to goggle more about her.
She got adopted? He asked himself as he read more about her.
As he read more about Isabella Asher Queen. He felt his chest tightening up. He felt he was suffocating so he lossened up his tie.
The door bursted open and Rachel walked in.
"What is it, Natty? I heard from your secretary that you are not feeling well..." Rachel paused her question when Nathaniel immediately stood up from his seat.
He grabbed his things and left his office immediately. Daniel who was waiting outside his office for him went after him.
Rachel stood where she was fazed. She wondered what was wrong with him.
After wondering for seconds, she shook her head and went out from his office.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel took the elevator down to the garage. He got into his car and immediately drove out from the company without listening to his secretary who was running after him.
Within 25 minutes he got home. He pulled off his shirts and searched for Paul's number.
Paul picked up the call after the fourth ring.
"Hello!" Paul shouted from the other end. He was in a noisy restaurants with his friends.
"It's me Paul. I really need your help right now." Nathaniel said into the phone.
"Wait. Let me move to a quiet place." Paul shouted back to him.
He heard Paul's voice again after five minutes.
"Hey man. You decided to call me today. What's up?" Paul asked from the other end.
"It's me Paul. I need your help urgently. I need you to confirm something for me. No, I need you find out about someone and her current whereabouts." Nathaniel requested.
"Okay. Who's that?" Paul asked.
"Do you remember Isabella? Isabella the scholarship girl who is very beautiful and intelligent?"
"Yes. I do. I was even about to inform you about the current news I heard about her. I heard she got adopted by a rich lady, the lady made her the heir to her company. That's queen's company man. Yo! She's made it in life. I think her stars are so bright." Paul remarked.
"So, it's true? I was trying so hard not to believe the net. Did you know if she has any kid? If she's married or not?" Nathaniel asked again.
"Well, I don't know that. I'll just find out for you man. But you're being unfair you know, you chose work over us everytime. Now you've heard about this girl you crushed on, you decided to call. You're being totally unfair man." Paul scolded.
"I'm...I'm sorry. But I also think I'll be meeting you guys very soon. Please find out her current location and also tell me about it. Find out everything, you can go to Queen's empire to find out the main truth. Thanks, I'll owe you." Nathaniel concluded and ended the call.
He sighed and laid down on his bed.
His mind flashed back to the past.
*Flashback*
"Mom, what about Isabel? You still didn't find her?" Nathaniel asked his mom through the phone.
"I'm sorry dear. I'm really sorry but the girl left town. I tried reaching out to her grandma but I failed. I'm really sorry." Nathaniel's mom replied him.
Nathaniel groaned out sadly.
"So, I didn't get to apologise to her for my actions. I wonder what she thinks of me now, mom. She must really hate me. She'll see me as a devil whenever she remembers me. I really wanna apologize for what I did to her." Nathaniel groaned out bitterly.
"Well, you might get the chance to one day. I believe you will son. You shouldn't work yourself up, listen to your big brother and do everything he tells you to do. Don't forget your big brother always report everything you do to your father? I don't know why he is always on your father's side." His mom groaned out in displease.
"Anyways, face your book for now. Start afresh, forget all about Buford. Maybe tomorrow you'll finally get what you're seeking for." Nathaniel's mom advised.
"Alright mom. I'll see you during Christmas then. I've missed you so so much."
"I've missed you too son. I'll see you during Christmas. Always take care of yourself. Goodbye."
"Goodbye."
The call ended.
*Flashback ends*
I should have tried harder. I should have kept on looking for you on my own. I can't believe this. I hope what I heard is not true.
I hope...I really hope I didn't get you pregnant that night. Goodness, what am I going to do?
What will I do if that turns out to be the truth? What if I really have two kids? Two kids who are 18 for goodness sake. What am I going to do?
How on earth am I going to start things? I doubt you'll even forgive me. How will you forgive the man who got you pregnant at a tender age and also left you immediately. He didn't even apologize for his actions. How can you?
Oh Lord! I hope it's not true. I really hope it's not true. Nathaniel thought sadly.
24 hours later.
A call came into Nathaniel's phone and he picked it up at the second ring.
"Hello, it's true man. I found out, she got pregnant and gave birth to twins. It's all over the net man. I heard she got pregnant when she was 15, could it be..... OMG! Nate! You might be a father!" Paul informed and exclaimed from the other end.
