The red glow of the sunset was fading, and dusk was setting in.
As the light atop the mountain gradually dimmed, Nathaniel felt the cold evening breeze brush against his face.
He stood on the mountaintop, looking calm and composed.
The sound of the five helicopters grew louder.
Even though it was deafening and intimidating, Nathaniel remained still, quietly waiting for them to land.
Moments later, the doors opened, and Elliot, dressed in a dark military coat and boots, descended the steps with a stern expression.
Almost instantly, the two men's gazes locked from afar.
Following close behind, Lionel also stepped out.
When he saw Nathaniel, he let out a sigh of relief, thankful that Nathaniel had not run and had come to meet them, indicating there might be more to the situation.
Of course, Lionel was mostly glad he would not have to face a harsh punishment.
"Elliot, this is quite the display. You're here with the top men of your bureau, all armed. Anyone would think I'm a criminal if they saw this," Nathaniel said with a devilish smile.
Elliot's gaze was intense, uninterested in small talk.
He cut straight to the point and asked, "Did you bring Nana here?"
Nathaniel flashed a faint smile, and his tone was calm.
"This isn't my place. I just found her."
His tone became more meaningful at the end of his sentence, with a hint of mischief in his eyes.
"Elliot, I was lucky to find her before you this time. If she chooses me now, will you let her go?"
Elliot's brow furrowed, his eyes filled with rage.
His murderous intent flared as he stormed forward, grabbing Nathaniel by the collar.
"If you dare to think about that, I won't hesitate to make you experience the living hell of a high-security prison again," Elliot growled.

The readers' comments on the novel: Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson)
The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
