ADOPTED HEIR **Heartbroken**
Writer's P O V
7:00pm on the dot Nathaniel got a message from Kendrick informing him that they were about leaving the house. Nathaniel replied and thanked his son for the message.

They had already planned everything out, Nathaniel got really nervous because it was also time for him to move to the restaurant he already reserved for them.
He clasped his hands together and inhaled in sharply, he was more than nervous.
"Hey man, calm down. You look like you are about to die," Jay said to him from the sofa of the hotel room he has been staying at.
"You don't understand how I feel, J. I don't know how she is going to react, I hope she doesn't react harshly in front of our kids. I'm more than nervous, maybe I should just change the plans." Nathaniel suggested not sure.
"Hey, man. It's been two weeks already, two weeks, you have the remaining weeks to get her. Now man up, even if she hits you, just take it in. My mind is telling me she might do dangerous things to you." Jay advised and teased his friend.
"Stop it. You're making me more nervous. Let's go," he stood up and grabbed his wallet. Jay stood up with him and they left the hotel room.

They got out to the parking lot, Nathaniel turned to look at Jay. "Do I really look okay, J?" He asked.
"Of course, your physical appearance is perfect. You just look too nervous, you are even sweating. Geez! Calm down." Jay laughed.
Nathaniel dabbed the little sweat off his face and got into his car.
"No matter what happens tonight, remember there is still hope. If you later, you know need a drinking or talking buddy, you can call me or Paul remember that." Jay advised again before going into his own car.

He started the car and drove out from the hotel. Nathaniel also did the same, he drove to the chinese restaurant. He had booked a VIP room for them.
He parked in front of the chinese restaurant and waited for a text from Kendrick.
He waited nervously for 30 minutes before getting a text.
*Dad, you can come in now. The waiters are done serving the meal.* He read.
His nervousness only increased, he breathed in and out. He also cleared his throat before coming down from the car.
He went to the waiter there who recognized him and escorted him to the room he booked.
Nathaniel thanked the waiter and he left. He stood outside the door for two minutes before opening the door of the VIP room slowly.
All eyes turned towards the door, Isabella was expecting to see the waiter she asked to change the drinks but surprisedly saw another man.
Kendrick and Kendra adjusted on their seats properly before focusing their attention on their mother. They watched her reaction.
"Who are you Mr?" Isabella stood up on her feet to ask. She was a bit confused, why wasn't he speaking up and just staring at her.
She felt like she has also seen him somewhere but wasn't too sure. So she asked again. "Hello, who are you?" She asked a second time.
"Um...mom." Kendrick called making Isabella turn towards her son.
"He...he is our dad." Kendrick revealed.
"Yes, he is dad." Kendra also shook her head. For a minute, Isabella just kept staring at her children puzzled.
"Your dad?" She whispered the question.
"Yes...our..our dad, we found dad." Kendra stuttered getting scared herself. She didn't picture the meeting of her parents like these.
Then Isabella slowly turned to look at Nathaniel who had his head a little lowered. Words couldn't form in his mouth, and he also doesn't want to say something that will make her really mad.
Isabella observed Nathaniel's facial looks, she turned to look at Kendrick. Just like that, she moved her head to compare their resemblance.
Then a scoff escaped her lips, making Nathaniel lift his eyes to stare at her.
Isabella shook her head twice.
"Kids, I'll be back. I want to use the restroom," she announced and immediately walked out of the room with her purse.
Kendra and Kendrick immediately stood up. Kendra reached for her dad's hand. "Dad?" She called.
"Don't worry. I don't want you guys to get involved again, I don't want her getting mad at you guys too. I've gat these." He assured the both of them before leaving to follow her.
He saw her asking a waiteress the way to the female restroom and immediately followed her as she rushed away and luckily caught up with her.
"Isabel," he called holding her by the hand. Isabella pulled her hand from his, she glared at him before continuing her journey to the restroom but Nathaniel wasn't hearing it. He grabbed her hand again and this time received a slap on his right cheek.
"Do not touch me again!" She warned and continued going. Luckily for the both of them, there were no one in the corridor. It gave Nathaniel courage to seek her out again.
He ran past her and went to stand in front of her.
"Isabella, please wait. Listen to me please." Nathaniel pleaded blocking her from moving forward.
"Get the hell out of my way now!" She ordered.
"I will, but just listen." Nathaniel nodded.
Isabella stopped walking, she stared straight into his eyes waiting for what he has to say.
"Look Isabel, I'm really sorry for what happened in the past. It's me Nathaniel. I.. know I offended you and I've come to seek your forgiveness for forcing myself on you years ago. I know you hate me but please give me a chance to talk things out with you. To really explain what happened that night."
"I regretted what I did a lot and...."
"So? What if you are the father of my kids? So?" Isabella questioned, her gaze hard.
For a second, Nathaniel fell shut of words. Isabella made to leave again but Nathaniel blocked her way again.
"Wait, please..." Another slap landed on his left cheek this time.
"Get out!" Isabella yelled at him, furious. She pushed him out of the way while cussing.
Nathaniel took his palm to his forehead, he was heartbroken and felt like disappearing from the world at the moment.
She had stared at with with extreme anger. He watched as she entered the female restroom and shut the door close.
Isabella rested her back against the door breathing faster than usual, she wasn't believing her eyes and ears.
Her lips shook as tears gathered up her eyes. Is that really him? She asked herself.
She closed her eyes as a wave of dizziness hit her. She took out her phone and messaged Kendrick.
*Take your sister and leave after you're done eating. There is an emergency at the company, I need to leave.* She texted and put her phone into her purse.
After resting inside the restroom for a while, she opened the door to see Nathaniel still there, she ignored him and went straight for her car that is parked outside.
She got in and drove down to her company. She texted a driver to pick Kendrick and Kendra up when they were ready to leave. She came down from her car and ran into the company.
The securities were surprised to see her back at the company when it's passed working hours. But as the Boss, they let her in without questioning her.
Nathaniel who had also followed Isabella down to her company parked outside. He came down from the car and opened the message he received from Kendra.
*Dad, are you okay? Are you with mom? Is she mad? Is she okay?*
Nathaniel replied with. *You guys should go back when you're done, and yes I'm with her.* He texted back before inserting his phone into his trouser pocket.
After distracting the security men by throwing a stone another way. He sneaked into the company and went up to Isabella's office knowing fully well she's be there. For one thing, he was glad that there was no one inside the company.
He stood outside the door of her office which was slightly opened and looked in to see her truly in. She was seated with her head resting on the table and he could hear her sobs.
She continued crying for minutes and Nathaniel continued watching her. Watching her cry broke his heart into a million pieces, being the cause of her tears he wished he could just rip out his own heart.
Slowly, he squatted down to the floor and palmed his face. The memories of what he did to her, how he forced himself on her clouded his mind.
He kept whispering his apologizes hoping she'll hear it and forgive him. He paused when he heard something break inside her office.
Alerted, he stood up and ran in to stop her before she harms herself.
Bastard!! Idiot!!! Isabella kept cussing as she threw away all the paperwork that was on her table.
