4. Tristan

I walk off with Johnathan as I hear "is there really more that happened that day?"

Tristan's POV

Thomas, Sarah, and I head over to the airport to pick up Trina. All of us hated the fact Carlos never changed his will. It forced us to contact her so we could let him go. I never wanted to see her again after she cheated on me with Michael.

At first, I didn't believe him but when he told me when to be at her house and I saw with my own eyes I was broken. I couldn't believe she would betray me in that way.  Of course, my family found out and all turned their back on her even my twin brother who was her best friend.

Even her own family was not happy that she cheated on me. So, we were not surprised when Carlos threw her out since we all knew about what Christina did to him. We couldn't believe she would cheat on me after seeing what her mom's cheating did to her dad.

We only found out after Christina took off when she was released from the hospital after having Alex. It was brought to light because both Carlos and Christina were O+ while Alex was O-.  We had asked Sarah along to prevent her from trying to make us hear her story.

I was stunned when I saw her walking up looking gorgeous it took my breath away. There she was in all her glory 5'5" her dark brown hair cascading down her back.

I let my eyes sweep up and down her body and notice the nice button-down shirt covering her torso that does very little to hide her well-developed bust and toned abs. Leading down to a tiny waist and long legs covered in slick black slacks.

On her feet are three-inch heeled boots that only make her legs look longer. I kept thinking damn she couldn't look any better. I shook my head and glanced at the individuals walking close to her and notice how they interact. It is obvious they know each other.

It wasn't until I saw the tall young man walking beside her that threw his arm around her shoulders it hit me. I am still in love with Katrina Garza.  As the three of us approached them we saw this man bow and heard him say "Miss. Garza, I will be your driver while here in Mcallen my name is Manuel Gonzalez.

Know that Mr. Packston said there is no hurry for you to purchase a new vehicle, as a matter of fact, he informed me that since you will be running the office he would prefer it if I drove you everywhere since the company does have an image to uphold." 

I stood there watching them and listening "thanks Manuel and please call me Trina." "I can't mam you will be my boss along with Mr. and Mrs. Hernandez."  I was going crazy because his voice was familiar but I couldn't see his face since his back was to us.

She laughed and all I could think about was how much I missed her laugh. "Manuel you will find that even though Lucy here is from the UK both me and Juan are from the area.

I went to school in La Joya and Juan here went to school in Mission." I couldn't help but think that is where she went and why her grandparents left her their house. I missed whatever he said or did that caused her to say "yeah, I know a Coyote and Eagle friends."

"Yeah, but Mr. Packston..." "Stop right there Mr. Packston is just my boss besides he is very happily married. I do not believe in cheating and I hate lying.

Since to me cheating and lying go hand in hand I believe only jerks cheat and only assholes don't listen to find out the truth."  I couldn't help but think ouch that was definitely a dig aimed at me. I hear the guy behind her "Trina you are too much.

You wait I have several old friends I will be in touch with and Tony will be just a distant memory." Tony who the hell is Tony. Wait, what the hell the guy is going to fix her up but what about the guy with her.

I must have really been lost in thought because the next thing I know the other three individuals climb into the car and it is then I notice it is a fucking BMW. What the hell does she do for a living to warrant a BMW?

I had to shake my head when I realized I was about to lose her as I see her start to climb into the car.  I yell out "Trina!" She turns and glares at me "do I know you?" Oh, she is going to play this game.

"Yeah, it's Tristan." "Oh, sorry the only Tristan I know is dead." I watch her climb in and that guy Manuel closed the door bowing so I can't see his face "please leave Miss. Garza alone I am not only her driver but her bodyguard and Packston industries do not need their most valuable employee harassed."

I watched Manuel climb in as I stared dumbfounded at the car as they pulled away. What the hell she has her own bodyguard.  What the hell does she do for a living? I also want to know why she said I was dead.

I look at my brother "Tom what exactly does she do for a living?" "I have no idea. The only thing I know is that Linda and Alex found her through a friend of her's from school after she left.

They contacted her to demand that she sign over the house but she refused like she deserved anything from the fucking family. She deserved to be left in the fucking gutter like the whore she is."

I look at him "does she look like she has been living in the gutter?" Sara speaks up "I hate to tell you both this but that girl has money.

The shoes she was wearing and the bags she was caring were all Louis Baton. As for her clothes that are straight off the Paris runway. Whatever she does for a living has her loaded."

I shake my head as we head to my old Jeep. I can't believe she would leave her family to suffer if she was living high on the hog. I also can't believe she looked me in the eyes and told me I was dead.

Then it hit me, we disowned her as far as she was concerned she no longer had a family. I called the family since they wanted to make sure she signed the paperwork and disappeared again to tell them that she already had a ride and from the sounds of it she wasn't leaving anytime soon.

The only thing that keeps running through my mind is that it sucks I don't have a gorgeous girl hanging from my arm to rub in her face and make her feel like shit. But unfortunately, no girl has ever worked out for me.

I could never figure out why they all ended up calling me an ass and leaving me. It always happened after I told them about Trina.  At first, they were so sympathetic but then they would turn on me.

So, yet again I am in-between girlfriends and I have to deal with Trina with that guy on her arm.  I must have zoned out when I heard Tom "Bro are you with us or not?"

I turn and look at him "What Tom?" "So, you think she turned into some kind of cougar because that other guy that made sure he stayed close to her looked really young."

"I don't know." We had just made it home and were relaxing when Linda and Alex walked in "that bitch has a fence around the house now and her fucking driver stopped the car and wouldn't move so we couldn't get in to talk to her.

When we yelled at her she walked up and asked us who we were as if she couldn't recognize us and when we told her she looked us straight in the face and..." I turned and looked at them "let me guess she told you that you were dead."

They looked at me "how did you know?" "She said the same thing to me." It took a while but eventually, Alex's friend called to let us know she was there.

We all rushed to make sure she signed the papers and left us the hell alone. She wants us to be dead so be it.  As we walked into Carlos's room I notice her holding his medical chart and hear her say "I will not be turning off my father's machines.

I will, however, be transferring him to Rio Grande Valley Transplant and Neurosurgical hospital." My mom speaks up "you can't do that."

She turns and glares at us "I was informed you would not be here." Alex spoke up "Well, we had someone watching...wait who gives a fuck you are not moving dad bitch."

Watching her look at her little brother I almost fell over at the cold glare while she said "well last I checked you are not even his son so shut up. As for the rest of you, as you all have said I am dead to you so I do not have to listen to you all either."

She turns to the Doctor "I will be moving my father." She didn't even pause before picking up her phone and started talking as soon as the person on the other end picks up "Juan send the bus to pick up my father I want him placed on the 5th floor.

I will be calling Dr. Bunoka to evaluate and perform his procedure." "Yes, there is still a chance and even though I could care less if this bastard lives or dies I took an oath."

"Thank you, Juan." "No, if they want to see him I will not ban them but if they start shit with me..." "I can't promise you that. Now tell that wife of yours to get her ass here before I lose my temper."

Linda speaks up "we can't afford that hospital or doctor." She spins around "well I don't care and it is a good thing I can. You all may think I live in some rat-infested hole in the wall but believe me, I don't need any of you or your help." 

Doctor Rochester tried to help us by reminding her that she was sending Carlos to a private hospital and even brought up the fact the Doctor she was transferring her father to is the best doctor in neurosurgery.

She acted as if she didn't give a shit about what the doctor said. It wasn't long before the young guy and the woman walked in and gave us death glares before walking up to her.

The young man wraps his arms around her and I was ready to rip his arms off until I heard "mom are you ok."  "Yea, we are moving your grandfather to the hospital."

"Oh, are you getting Uncle Hikaru to look at him?" Wait for what? Uncle is she that close with this Doctor? "Yep, hopefully, your Uncle Juan will get ahold of him."

Boy sounds like she built her own family while she was away. I soon feel my mom nudge me and whisper "son, he looks just like you even has your eyes."

It was then I looked at him closely and see what she means it is just like looking in a mirror. I know I always had that feeling with Tom but once I looked at his eyes I saw the difference but this time was different.

His eyes were the same shade of green as mine. I clear my throat "excuse me? You're her son?" "Yes, and why do you care?" "Uhm, who is your father?"

This young man looks at me and smirks while Trina shakes her head as he opens his mouth "you are, asshole and before you say anything I don't care about any of you. As far as I am concerned I only need my mom." 

To say the least I was stunned. I had a son I didn't know about for sixteen years and Trina kept him from me. As she starts to walk away I grab her arm "WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T YOU TELL ME."  She glares at my hand "don't touch me and think really hard and maybe you will find your answer now sod off."

I couldn't believe she spoke to me that way. I watched her talk with her friend and her bodyguard and hear them talk about that guy fixing her up with a guy that is supposed to be hot.

As I watch them get into the elevator and head down it hits me I am going to lose my son. I take off running I need to know why she never told me.  I finally make it to her car and I watch her glare at me and ask "what do you want?"

"Is he really my son?" "Yes, and don't worry I don't need shit from you. Now leave me alone remember you all seem to love to remind me I am dead to you so that means so is my son."

I watch as she slams the door closed and then it hits me that is why I never got to be a part of my son's life. It is all my fault we made sure she never had a chance to speak to us and even told her she was dead to us.

I soon see my mom storming across the parking lot. "Mom what are you going to do?" "Make sure that bitch pays for keeping my grandson from me. She should have...
