Nathan’s POVI flipped through one of the files that Ray handed over to me before we left the house this morning, I just got back from the Caribbean two days ago with Gramps and two of my uncles, and my first stop is at the courthouse because I need to make my return official, I had to clear every death record that they had on me and after that is done, I’ll have to go over to our house and meet with my parents. With the testimony of the elders and my grandfather, the records were cleared and it was announced to the public that I was back and alive and that I survive the plane crash. Gramps and my uncles took the next flight to the Caribbean while I drove over to meet with my parents. I don’t know why I’ve been avoiding them all this while, they have heard the news of my return from the numerous news stations and they must be feeling hurt and pained. I guess I’m not yet ready to see their tears, I just can’t get look them in the eyes right now. A part of me hates them for giving up on
Still Nathans POV“Where the hell have you been, son, why didn’t you come home sooner, you had us all so worried, your mother was so sick and worried about you. I missed you so much, we were all so worried about you.” My father told me excitedly as he pulled me into his arms for a bear hug. We all moved inside the house as my dad kept asking me so many questions while mom kept clinging to me as if I would disappear again.“You scared the hell out of me, don’t you ever do that to me again. I thought I would never see you again, we all thought you were dead, we held your funeral, and we buried an empty casket. I kept waiting and praying for your return, I was so hurt when they found your remains, I felt so shattered and broken, I wanted to take my own life, I just couldn’t bear it.” Mom complained and sobbed at the same time, looking so disheveled and ruining her beautiful makeup. I held her into my arms and pecked her forehead, hugging her tightly, trying to reassure her that everythin
Ariel’s POVHow did it get so crazy in just a matter of minutes, how on earth did I get here, why did I let it get so messy, how on earth did I let this happen. I thought I had it all figured out, I had my plans set out already and it was going to work, I mean, everything was going perfectly fine, just the way id planned it, then he came back home and he fucking ruined everything for me, he ruined all my plans and he did not even blink or break a sweat while he did.Recap…I heard he had escaped from the island where Travis had him trapped. I knew he was back, I got the report from my boys, it is reported that he is in the Caribbean, that is the first thing he did when he got back home, he finished the task he had set out for in the beginning, he went to the elderly Trents to take his rightful place as head of the family. That is how I know that Nathan is the smartest, he has always been the smart one, but I was too stupid to see that. I betrayed him and supported Travis in destroying
Nathan’s POVIt all happened eight years ago…My dad was still the chairman of the company and I was still the irresponsible son who doesn’t care about the family's business. I never really cared about everything happening in the family, I guess that was why I didn’t notice the dispute between my mom and dad. If I had paid attention to the affairs of the family, I would have realized that something was not right between my parents and I would have at least tried to make things right between them. But I was too stupid and selfish, I only cared about my own life, that is why my family nearly fell apart, my parents were on the verge of having a divorce, and I never noticed, not even for a second.Dad was cheating on mom…That is how it all started. Mom told me the story amid tears, she told me how she noticed that the bond they shared was not as strong as my father was spending too much time outside the house so she did what any curious woman would do about it, she had him investigated a
Still Nathans POV“I knew you would come back to your senses Nate, I guess you now know that you would never be able to get rid of me easily. You are mine Nathan, nothing is going to change that fact, the earlier you come to terms with that, the better it would be for everyone. I’ll suggest you start by apologizing to me for cheating on me with that bitch, then you can get me out of here so we could begin preparing for our wedding. You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting for this day, our wedding is going so huge, it’s going to be the talk of the town for the next few months, I have it all figured out, I’m going to personally send out the invites, I want everyone with a strong background to be there, it will be aired on national TV the press would be there, everyone will be there, it’s going to be so perfect, I want to be the…”“You will never marry my son, you hateful woman.” My mom let out angrily, interrupting her endless blabbering. Gosh, she is so damn stupid. She had smiled
Hillary’s POV“I’m not doing it Becks and you two can’t make me.” I told her pointedly when she held my hand to stop me from walking out of that French restaurant, then I turned around to leave her presence once more. Gosh, it’s so annoying when they both team up against me, it’s even more annoying now because Miguel is not around to speak up on my behalf. He is the only one that understands me these days and he always stands by my decision, he doesn’t force me to go on dates like these two crazy friends of mine. I can’t believe that they would set me up on a date with Lawrence Delaney, why can't they just accept my decision to be alone. The worst part of it all is that they tricked me, they fucking tricked me. Avril told me she was going to take the kids out so I can have a few hours to myself, then Becky came over and suggested that we both hang out at the new fancy French restaurant in town. I jumped at her request without thinking about it. I have always wanted to check out this
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
