Let Me Stay The Night

Christina felt her stomach lurch. “What happened to him?” she asked with a trembling voice.

The call from Rayne’s end had a lot of background noise, and the signal was bad, making it hard to hear her voice. “I don’t know how to explain it either. You should look up the internet but don’t take it to heart, no matter how horrible the comments are. Just trust that Nathaniel can sort it out. I’ve got to keep an eye on the runway now. Call me if you need anything.”

As soon as the call ended, Christina launched the browser to find Nathaniel’s rumors as the top ten trending searches.

A comment read: The world of the wealthy has always been crazy, but I never expected someone as calm and composed as Nathaniel to have psychotic tricks up his sleeves. He’s totally shattered my worldview.

The next netizen wrote: I remember Madison had been working as Nathaniel’s assistant for years on end. She even attended various events as his female companion. He’s really cruel for throwing her into the psychiatric hospital just because she did not like his wife.

Another netizen wrote: You guys are outdated. I have a friend working at the psychiatric hospital, and he says Madison’s dead. Apparently, she was abused before she died. In fact, it was a miserable death, but all the evidence was erased.

The next comment read: He’s right. I can vouch for him. When Madison was dead, Old Mrs. Taggart went looking for Mrs. Hadley but got carried out of the ward. Rumor has it that Nathaniel locked her up.

One comment read: Madison’s death must have something to do with that man. I’m hearing more and more bad things about him this year.

The rest of the discussion on the internet criticized Nathaniel for being heartless, drowning out the netizens that voiced their doubts.

Christina closed the browser and dialed Nathaniel’s number. The call connected almost instantly.

“What’s wrong, Christina?” Nathaniel sounded calm.

“I saw the news on the internet. Are you all right?” Christina was gripped with worry. She couldn’t help it despite knowing Nathaniel would not be affected by the rumors.
