Nathan’s POVTravis knows I’m back in town, and that is how I want it to be. I don’t want it to seem like took him unawares, I want it to be known by everyone that I made my presence known when I got into town. The news of my return was all over the television, I made it my mission to take interviews and attend public functions to give the reporters something to write about. I was waiting for the deal day, the day he wants to sell the company. The date is fixed and the bidders are all ready to drop their bids and purchase our family's company, my company. I’m waiting for that day, I want to give him a taste of his own medicine, I have a special package waiting for him.A few days after I finished dealing with Ariel, I had a long talk with my mom and Caitlyn my kid sister, I had to make it clear to them that we can no longer ignore the fact that dad has another family. I made it quite clear to dad that he needs to keep his other wife far away from my mom because I don’t want any situat
Still Travis POVFor the past week, Travis has been changing the location of the meeting, trying to throw me off his trail, but kept up with his plans and I have been informed that the meeting later moved back to the company. A lot of his clients had issues with the constant change of location and they voiced out their grievances, that was why he had no choice but to move back the meeting to the company’s boardroom. I made no attempt to meet with him, I tried as much as possible to avoid being seen always but I never let him see me, I have never set my eyes on him since I got back. He must have heard about Ariel's case, I made sure the news got to him because I want him to know that he is next.On the other hand, My search for Hillary has come to a dead end. She did a good job in covering her tracks, I mean even Raymond couldn’t find out her whereabouts. I guess she must have been planning it for a very long time, that is why it had been so easy for her to run away without leaving a s
Nathan’s POV“W… Wh… Why are you here?” He stammered out, trying to regain his composure, but I saw right through him and I know that he is scared. I love that…I love seeing this look of fear in his eyes and I love the fact that I am the reason why he is this scared. His eyes keeps straying to the other side of the table and I followed his gaze and saw that my uncle is there as well. This is so perfect, every fucking traitor in the family is right here at this table and I couldn’t have asked for a better audience. I need every one of them to witness what will happen today, it would serve as a lesson to anyone who ever tries to go against me in the future. “You don’t have to create a scene here son, whatever it is that you want to discuss with your brother, I’m sure you can find him later and have this meeting with him. It doesn’t have to be today and it doesn’t have to be right here in this boardroom. I promise you, son, we would resolve any issues you are having with your brother
Travis’s POVI thought I have everything under control, but I didn’t see this coming. I had no idea that Nathan had turned into a terrible monster. My God, how can he be so mean, did I do this to him, did I turn him into this heartless creature that acts ruthlessly and without remorse?I haven’t had time to ask Robert for details, all he told me was that Nathan had escaped from the island and he assured me that he was working on a plan to get the job done so I didn’t ask too many questions about it, I simply ordered him to speed it up because I want him gone as soon as possible. I never would have thought that the table would turn and Nathan would have an edge over me. As I sat there staring at the lifeless body of Robert Schwartz, all I could ask myself is “Who created this monster, what on earth did they do to him on that island that made him so tough and way more smarter than I would ever have imagined.If only I had listened to Ariel when she told me to run as fast as my legs coul
Nathan’s POVI could see the fear in his eyes as he begs for mercy, I know he regrets his actions now, but I also know he is as scared as hell. I must confess, a part of me wanted to listen to his pleas for mercy, I was a little touched by his apology but I couldn’t let him go so easily. If I show any form of weakness in front of them, they will take me for granted and they will attempt another revolt. Every often, I keep turning to my father and his son, glaring furiously at them, making them nervous. I want him to think that I am coming after them as well, I love seeing that fear in their eyes, it kind of makes me feel good.I know it sounds weird, but that is just the truth. I want to make a statement with my actions today, I want them to stay the hell out of my way, I need them to stay in line because I won’t show any mercy to anyone that goes against me, not even if they are family. I ignored my father as he tried to pleas on their behalf, I guess he still thinks that he still ha
Miguel’s POVMy brother is playing a sick game with Nathan Trent and it’s giving me cause for concern. From what I can see, I can tell that Nathan is a good man who is looking to make a change in his family and in the society. This only makes me wonder why my brother would lie to him about his family and keep their location a secret to him. It is so damn hard to look at Hillary in the eyes and lie to her about her husband, for crying out loud, it is even harder to look at his kids every damn day when I know that I am the reason why they are growing up without a father.It is quite a mystery to see Raymond lying effortlessly to Nathan without second thoughts. I just don’t know why he would be risking this mission, I don’t know why he is trying to ruin it for everyone. We have worked so damn hard to get to where we are today, we have faced many obstacles and yet we came out strong and victorious. But with the way Raymond is handling this case, we may end up losing every damn thing that
Hillary’s POVI gave him enough time to come clean, I wanted him to come to me and tell me why he has been trying so hard to separate Lawrence and I, but it seems like he has made up his mind, he has decided to sabotage my relationship at all cost and he chose not to tell me about it. It’s been eight months, I mean eight fucking months and he has been sneaking behind my back, screwing me over, sabotaging my relationship. At first, thought that he was just being protective of me, I know how he has tried so hard to protect me and the kids all this while. I know how he saved my life countless times and I actually talked myself into believing that he is doing all this to protect me, but I was wrong. He is not trying to protect me, no. He is simply trying to ruin my life and make me sad forever.He even delves into arson because of this. He went to Lawrence's house and he set fire to one side of his house, he even went to his company and did the same thing. That fire burnt down a considera
Nathan’s POVI thought I was going to travel to Paris the next day, that was the actual plan that I had, I wanted to retrieve the company’s shares from that French guy. But Ray got a call from the guy he sent to monitor him and it turns out that he has been informed of my return and he has gone into hiding. I’m sure he didn’t get that information from my dad because my father would never advise him to run like that. If he had gotten the information from my dad, he would not be trying to run away, No. Rather, he would have boarded the next flight to New York City and he would hand over those documents to me without thinking twice about it. I’m guessing he got the information from the guy he had sent over to the company. The guy must have told him about my sudden presence in the boardroom and how I ruined the bidding for the company today. I really don’t know what he told him and I really don’t care, but I know that he has been left his previous location and he is hiding out in an unkno
Hillary’s POVTwo months…It’s been two months already, I’ve been waiting to wake up from this beautiful dream, I keep thinking that I would be woken by my friends or my kids and they would tell me that I have been dreaming all along. But I was wrong, it isn’t a dream, it’s all true. Nathan is back and he is here to stay. It took me a while to come to terms with this new life, I know I’ve always wanted him to come back to me, but I just wasn’t prepared to have him back. Then again, the way he had found me with another man had nearly driven me insane, I nearly destroyed our future because I thought he would never want me again. I blame myself for listening to my friends, I blamed my friends for pushing me so hard, and then I blamed him as well for being away for so long and for coming back when I was ready to move on with my life. Trust me, the blame was enough to go around, I was just too angry and sad, I could never have thought that Nathan would still want me back in his life. I had
Still Nathan’s POVI knew the exact moment that Hillary set her eyes on me, her eyes widened in absolute shock when her eyes met mine and she abandoned their luggage and dragged the kids out of the reception hall, dragging them back to the car. She knew she had been caught trying to escape and she knows that there is no way out of this, yet she ran. She ran as fast as possible, dragging along our kids who wouldn’t stop crying because they thought they were in danger. I’m pissed off at her for trying to make a fool out of me, I’m so angry at her for putting my kids through all this heartache, making me look like an evil villain in front of my kids. All this rubbish must come to an end today, one way or another, I’m going to set everything right.I have already positioned some guards by her car, they were to make sure that she doesn’t get into the car and try to escape again. Avril stood by the car waiting for her as well, I gave her a job as well, I’m sure she can handle the kids for a
Nathan’s POVOne week and two days…That’s how long I’ve been in Paris. Hillary has refused to see my face or hear anything I have to say. She stays holed up in the house with her kids, our kids. I keep coming back to that apartment, every fucking day, but it’s all to no avail. If she is alone in the house, she won’t even open the door for me but if the others are there as well, they will grant me access into the living room, but Hillary will not be seen anywhere around the house, she locks herself in the room with the kids and she stays in there with them until I get tired of knocking on the door and leave the house. It’s getting more and more hilarious every fucking day. I mean, we aren’t kids, are we?We should be able to settle our differences without acting like a bunch of teenagers, but she just doesn’t want to believe the truth that is staring her right in the face, she still doesn’t want to believe that I am alive, she doesn’t want to have anything to do with me. But she fails
Nathan’s POVI’ve never felt so dejected in my whole life. She practically snatched my kids from my arms and ran the other way, going as fast as she could, trying to get them away from me. I’ve never been so confused in my whole life, I don’t know if I should go after her and try and stop her, I’m not even sure I can stop her because she is so fierce when it comes to the kids, she would never let me take them away from her especially now that she still thinks that I’m a ghost, besides, I do not want to send the wrong message to my kids, I don’t want them to see me as a bad person that is trying to hurt their mom. I watched her walking to the huge gate with her shoes that looks so bad that it was making her limp as she walked. The kids were trying to communicate with her, but she wasn’t listening to a word they were saying and it kinda hurt me because I don’t want them to be involved in this issue at all. It’s not their fault that we are going through such a bad breakup, they shouldn’t
Hillary’s POVI drove back home in anger going to confront Miguel. This time, he has really gone too far. He is not only playing games with me and sabotaging my relationship, but he is also joking with my sanity and this is where I draw the line. I don’t know how he did it, but I know that he did something to make that guy look exactly like Nathan and I won’t sit still and let him drive me insane, I won’t allow that. I drove at a terribly high speed, going above the normal speed limit, ignoring every red light I come across. I got home in record time, I jumped out of the car, then I imputed the security code and went into the house, “Miguel!!!” I yelled out in anger, shouting at the top of my voice.“Come down here you BASTARD!!!” I cried furiously as I ran up the stairs to search for him. I checked his room but he wasn’t there, I searched around the house, going into every room, searching the garage and kitchen, but I couldn’t find anyone in the house, it was completely empty. I sh
Still Nathan’s POV“First, you tried to steal my company and now I catch you trying to screw my wife. Mehn, you must really have a death wish Lawrence. Give me one reason why I should let you live, tell me why I shouldn’t put a bullet through your fucking skull, right now.” I asked him fiercely, pointing my gun to his head.“Y… Y… Wife?” He stammered out in confusion, looking like a lost little puppy.“I said to convince me not to put a hole in your fucking head, but all you come up with that stupid question?” I yelled in anger as I aimed at his shoulder and took a clean shot at him. I did not aim to kill him, I just want to see him in pain as he bleeds in front of me. He screams in pain as he applied pressure to his shoulder, trying to stop his bleeding.“You son of a bitch!” he cursed in pain as he pulled on the tablecloth and uses it to press on his shoulder.“I didn’t do anything, Mr. Trent. Your father made me buy those shares, I have no interest in your fucking company, I never
