I'm adding my own side plot to the story, where Nolan is the central character. At most I will make vague references to the main plot. Patrick, maya and the kutners are my ocs hope you enjoy.
Emily was off to a good start Lydia was down for the count, her humiliation had been very public and painful. Nolan had immortalised every moment for posterities sake, It was truly a pleasure to witness. Granted he wished that Amanda had taken her fathers advice and enjoyed her life but guilt was a strange all consuming monster. She had lost faith in David now he was dead, they could not reconcile. So Emily Thorne was born to make things bearable for Amanda Clarke.
But that's not the only story that I want to share, like any truly evil entity it's destruction is wide spread. The Clarks were destroyed by Victoria and Conrad Grayson, but there were many others who suffered to maintain there position in society. However the only other story that interests me is Maya's. She lost it all, but unlike my dear revenge crazed friend she considered her biggest enemy her greatest ally, but not for much longer.
Patrick Grayson was the only child of Conrad's first wife Ellie who had died in a mysterious car crash, (duh duh duh) Victoria had previously been the family nanny. He was the epitome of all things upper crust and apple pie. But this wasn't what put the elder Grayson on my personal hit list. It wasn't even the fact that he married my own childhood sweetheart Maya Kutner, though that was the weekend I almost hired a hit man.
No the reason Nolan was hell bent on destroying this particular adversely was because he was in on the manipulation of Maya. Rafe and Georgina Kutner had been equal partners in Grayson global. If Conrad was the public face of the company the kutners were the brains. Both families had been extremely close, that was until David had been implicated. Suddenly the atheist family from Goa were hard line extremists.
Why do they keep the daughter then? Amanda was brainwashed and discarded, wouldn't that have been easier? No not when you want to control your company, and your crafty former partners entail a 36% voting block to their child. It's reported there were so many conditions in the will that even Conrad's legal dream couldn't find a loophole.
So they brainwashed her in a different way only that their family could be trusted, every one else was expendable. They drugged her that was the worst part, Victoria sat by as a child was broken down and re built. Nolan was pushed out of her life and at the time they were both grateful for the excuse. But now nolan was ready, he would take a page out of Emily's play book. It was time to look out for the only other person he cared for.
