RAINBOWALL - [MAXNAT] FANFIC

CHAPTER 3 - RICH PEOPLE 💸

Why do rich people always assume that ordinary people are obsessed with money ?

Max: Yes, money is important , but the way they use it to solve everything is completely unacceptable ! Some people don’t need money—they just need a proper apology. “Max said angrily”

Max: If that person comes back, don’t you dare show him the CCTV footage. Make sure the other staff know about this too !

Raff: That person’s name is Natha... 😶

Max: I don’t care what his name is 😡! One more thing—never tell him that I’m the owner of this café !

Raff: Understood , boss... 😖

At Nath's graduation party...

The event was in full swing, celebrating Nath’s graduation. However , he didn’t look happy. His mind kept replaying what had happened at the café earlier.

MC: Let’s welcome Mr. Natha , our graduate , to deliver a speech 👏🏻!

Nath didn’t hear his name being called until his assistant leaned in and whispered to him.

Leo: Mr. Natha , it’s your turn to give a speech now. 😶

Nath: Oh... snaps back to reality.

After finishing his speech, a man approached him—NETH EYDEN JACE , his older brother and one of the CEOs of their family company.

Neth: Hey, congratulations , bro. “He placed a firm hand on Nath’s shoulder”

Nath: It’s funny , isn’t it ? The ones who organized this party for me aren’t even here 😌.

He was referring to his parents , who were currently in England on business.

Neth: You know how busy they are. This event is their way of showing they love you.

Nath: Neth... stop. Can’t you take my side for once ? I’m tired of this. I studied in New York for years , and they only visited me once. Once !

Neth: But don’t forget—Mer and I always visited you.

Nath: Exactly. Always just the two of you. I came back thinking I’d finally see them , but instead ? Tomorrow’s headlines will highlight this event as "The youngest son of one of the richest families celebrated his graduation—without his parents in attendance" And what do I gain from that ? Nothing.

Neth: Nath, smile. There’s a camera on us. We’ll talk about this at home.

Nath longed for his parents' attention, even though he constantly clashed with his father. His brother and sister were the only ones who ever truly looked out for him.

At home ~

Neth: Nath, you already know that growing up in our family isn’t easy. Mer and I had to learn about the business from a young age. We never had time to ask for attention. Just like you , we felt the same neglect—but we had to endure it. This business has been passed down for generations. We’re the ones who will take care of it after our parents step down.

Nath: Don’t lump me into that. I never agreed to be part of this so-called legacy. I studied business because they wanted me to—not because I wanted to.

Mer: What are we talking about here ?

MEREDITH EARIN JACE , Nath’s older sister, had just walked in.

Neth: Same old argument 🙂.

Mer: Come here , my beloved little brother. I need a hug.

She pulled Nath into a warm embrace.

Mer: Congratulations on graduating from NYU. I’m sorry I couldn’t be at the ceremony—my flight was delayed. I really wanted to celebrate with you today. ☹️

Nath: It’s okay , Mer. Thank you for coming back. How long are you staying ?

Mer: Three days... ☹️ I have meetings in Rome after that. But let’s make the most of it.

Mer knew Nath was upset about their parents, but the only thing she could do was give him attention—to make sure he didn’t feel alone.

Nath: Alright , sis.

Neth: Nath... I need to talk to you about something. And I know you won’t like it , but I have to say it.

Nath: Then don’t say it 😌.

Neth: I need your help managing a new company we’re opening. I can’t handle everything on my own. I can’t be in multiple places at once.

Nath: How many times do I have to say this ? I don’t want to be involved in our family business !

Neth: Nath ! I’ve already struggled enough waiting for you to graduate. Managing everything alone has been exhausting. You’re the only one who can help me !

Nath: Ask someone else in the family. Or better yet—tell our parents to come back 🙂.

Neth: Nath , everything you have now is thanks to this family’s wealth ! Don’t you feel even a little gratitude ? Can’t you at least help me ?!

Nath: I don’t want to hear this anymore. “He turned and walked into his room , slamming the door behind him”

The real Nath ~ Nath wasn’t the obedient son the world assumed him to be. He was stubborn. He resented how his brother and sister followed their parents’ orders without question. He didn’t want to be like them.

Neth: Mer... please talk to him. You’re the only one he listens to. 🙂

Mer: I’ll try, but you know it won’t be easy.

Neth: I don’t care if he hates me. But no matter what , he has to agree to this.

Mer: Don’t say that. Nath doesn’t hate you. You know he’s hot-tempered. This won’t be easy , but I’ll talk to him.

Mer tries to talk to Nath...

Mer: Nath ?

Nath: You can’t persuade me like last time.

Years ago , Nath had a massive fight with their father over studying in New York. Mer was the only one who convinced him to go , and the next day, the news of the Jace family's youngest son heading to NYU was all over the media.

Mer: I’m not here to persuade you. But... Nath , please think about it. I’m begging you.

Nath hesitated. He couldn’t ignore his sister’s request. He didn’t want to be a bad younger brother. He still remembered when Mer’s fiancé cheated on her—how she locked herself in her room , crying for days. Since then , he had promised himself that he would always protect her , that he would never let her cry again.
