Nathan’s POV
Everyone was acting so strange, it felt like the whole world was going insane and the only sane people left was Hillary and I. First, my father would stop coming up with different suggestions on how I could run the company from the Caribbean.Gramps wants Travis to be in charge while I’m away, but I fought against that arrangement. Travis can never be trusted with running the family affairs, not when I’m still I’ve and breathing. He has been after me, for as long as I can remember, Travis has been searching for a way to bring about my downfall. If given the chance, he could burn down the company, just to keep me from running it. My gut feeling says that he has something to do with my sudden travel, but I ain’t gonna pay much attention to that. I’ll be back soon and everything would go back to the way it used to be.I have made all necessary arrangements to ensure that Travis doesn’t make any rash decisions while IStill Nathans POVGosh, how did I get to be so lucky?Hillary is just so perfect.So irreplaceable.She makes me feel so complete. I’m so excited to get back home to her. This would be our last night together, I would be leaving for the Caribbean in the morning. I’m going to be spending a couple of months there, so I would like to make it a special night, I want to make it a night that she’ll never forget.When I got back home, I found her sitting on the couch, watching a comedy series on tv, giggling so happily. This is a sight to behold, I’ll never get tired of seeing her this happy and relaxed in my house. How I would love to have my kids giggling this way, watching the happy smiles on their faces as they gladly welcome me back home from work. That is a life worth living. “Hey babe, how was your day?” she said with a bright smile, walking over to me as she walked her hands around my neck, her legs going around my waist. I wasted no time in bringing my lips down to hers, kissing her
Still Nathans POV“What do I do if your mom finds out that you have a girl in your house, what do I say to her, how do I even explain this to your girlfriend, you know how crazy she can be, you’ve seen how dangerous she can be when she is upset, I don’t want any troubles Nate, I can’t deal with all this when you are away.” she whined like a baby, pouting like a spoilt bratty child.“We’ve talked about this over and over again, my love. Why don’t you give it a rest, I’m not changing my mind, not now, not ever. I need you here, in our house, waiting patiently for me. The thoughts of a beautiful woman waiting for my return would encourage me to finish my task on time and run back home to you. I love you Hillary and I need to be sure that you are fine even in my absence. Nobody knows about this house, my love, no one is going to find out about you. I got this house for us and nobody else knows about it except for you
Still Nathans POVI was wasting too much time, I don’t even know what to do right now or how to react in this kind of situation, I’ve never been in such a situation, never in my life, I am not prepared for this. There is absolutely no way that someone can be ready for something like this. Noel was yelling at me, trying to get me to snap out of this reverie, but I just couldn’t get myself to think straight. I thought I was strong enough to face any challenge that comes my way, but not this, certainly not this.“This is not the time to try and figure out what went wrong, we have to get the fuck out of here!” he yelled furiously, yanking me off the seat, shaking me vigorously to try and bring me back to reality. The other guy splashed water on my face, and that fucking did it, I got pulled back to reality, it felt like I was in a trance all along. I quickly grabbed my parachute from his hand and dashed towards the exit, going as fast as I p
Hillary “pick up the Fucking phone Hillary …”“Hilly, what is going on, why aren’t you picking?”“Bethany, this isn’t funny anymore, you are scaring the shit out of me.“Pick up the fucking phone goddammit!” Avril yelled into the receiver, dropping several messages into my voicemail. She has been trying to take me out and cheer me up, but I’ve been avoiding her and rejecting her calls. I don’t want to cheer up and hang out with friends, I want to see Nathan, I want to know how he is faring. He has to man up and tell me if he doesn’t want to be with me anymore, he has to let me know so I can move on with my fucking life.It’s been five days since Nathan left, five fucking days and I haven’t been able to reach him. Our call was interrupted while he was still on the plane, I guess they experienced a turbulence of some sort. I couldn’t reach him after that call and he hasn’t tried to call me either.I’m itching to show him my new car, it’s so fucking beautiful. I got myself a red Porsche
Still Hillary’s POVThey had nearly caught me before I got to the estate. They came so close to my car, scaring the shit out of me when they rolled down the glass window of their car, pointing a gun at me. I ducked on time before they pulled the trigger, but I could still hear the sound of the bullet swooshing past me, going out the other window. I stepped on the gas pedal once more, going at a ridiculously dangerous speed limit, trying so hard to get out of their gunfire. I was so glad when I saw the gate a few feet away. They couldn’t enter this estate, I watched them park a few miles from the gate, watching me as I drove through the gate. I slowed down my car, waiting to see if they would follow me in, but they didn’t. I tried alerting the security guys at the gate, begging for their help, but they didn’t believe me, even with the bullet marks on my car. I has to drive off in anger when they asked me to drive back to the precinct and file a formal rep
Nathan’s POVTwo months and two weeks…That’s how long we have been in this God forsaken island. At this point, I don’t think we are going to make it out alive. The bad guys are not ready to give up on their search for us, or should I say for me, I think their boss ordered them to bring me back either dead or alive.We keep maneuvering this island like a bunch of criminals, trying to evade their eyes and get away. But they never gave me a chance to escape, they blocked off every route that we can use to get off, they keep pushing us deeper into the island. We have not been able to find anyone in this island, the only people in this island are those guys with guns that wouldn’t stop chasing us.I have been trying to keep up with my grumpy helper who never passed on any chance to abuse me and tell me how much he hates me. He said he is stuck here with me, I have no idea what he meant by those words, and I would love to find out
Hillary’s POVI was so devastated by the news, it’s all a lie, it’s just not true, how could this happen to Me, how could he be dead, he is such a good man, so damn perfect. Why do bad things always happen to good people, why is my life so unfortunate and miserable?First, it had been my parents, they hated me so much that they couldn’t bear to bring me up themselves, they had to dump me in an orphanage, leaving me to my fate. I have struggled to get to where I am today, I thought my life is becoming perfect, now I’ve lost the only person that has ever shown me true love and compassion. He had loved me with all his heart, he had shown me how beautiful life can be, now he is gone, leaving me all alone in this house. Am I a magnet for bad luck, why is all this happening to me?No, No Way.I’m not going to listen to anything they are saying, I just won’t believe it. He had promised me that he is coming back for me and I know
Nathan’s POVThe next few days were like a living hell for me. I broke a few bones and I lost a tooth that day. My whole body is covered in bruises and it hurts so bad. I could not move any part of my body for the next few days, I would never have survived it if not for Ray.Raymond Hartford…That is his name. I’ve heard of the Hartford’s, I know the role they play in our family, I had no fucking idea that I was going to be given my own personal Hartford. My dad never told me, neither did Gramps. If Ray had not mentioned his name to me, I would never have known that he is from the Hartford family.Many years ago, several generations past, my great grandfather had adopted a young boy named Richard Hartford. He was visiting the orphanage like he always does, then he spotted Richard, sitting by himself, crying his eyes out because nobody wanted to adopt him. As a fifteen years old boy, he was already past the age to be adopted and the orphanage was looking for somewhere to
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
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 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
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
