Nathan’s POV
Eight months, Two weeks, And two days…That’s how long I’ve been stranded on this island with no chance of escape. It still feels like a dream, I mean, one day, I was living a perfect and enviable life and the next thing I know, I’m stranded on this island, being hunted like an animal.After my near-death experience with those guys, I pleaded with Raymond to teach me how to defend myself, I want to be able to fight them off even when Raymond is not available. He cant come running to save me every time, when things get tough, I want to be able to stand and fight off these guys, I wan’t to hurt them as much as they have hurt me.At first, he refused to train me, he said he was trained to serve the Trent's, not hitting them repeatedly in the name of training. I had to force him to do it, I practically ordered him to do it, threatening him to do it or forget about serving the Trent. I know, I shoNathan’s POVFive days,That is how long we have been hiding out in this fucking camp. The plane did not come as we expected. They did not keep up with their usual time, they are breaking protocol for the first time since we got trapped on this island. I don’t know why this is happening now, it is so unexpected, we never planned for this, and now we are stuck here in the camp of our enemies. I don’t know if this is merely a coincidence, I have no idea why it is happening this way, I was so sure that we would get out of this island three days ago, we had everything we needed to escape. Our plans were foolproof and we have started implementation already. Five days ago, we left our hideout and snuck into the camp of the Schwartz brothers. We had already mapped out their campsite the day before, we know the layout of the surroundings and their schedule. It was so easy for us to sneak in and hide in their midst, hiding in plain sight. We hid in their storehouse that is built underground,
Travis’s POV“I played my part Travis, I did everything you asked. You have no right to push me aside this way, you can’t do this to me. You need me, Travis, you know you do. One word from me and the whole city would be at your doorstep seeking justice for Nathan. I won’t let you get away with this, I won’t let you trick me this way, I’ll fucking kill you?!” Ariel yelled furiously as my boys kicked her out of my house. The slutty bitch!She actually thought that we are now partners, she had the effrontery to walk into my house and demand for Nathans shares in the company, she actually wants me to hand over everything that Nathan had to her, can you believe that, I mean, is she fucking high on drugs or something. What on earth would make her think that I would ever hand over my inheritance to her, I fucking planned it all, me and no one else. Although I’ll have to admit that she had played a big role in convincing his family and the public that he is dead indeed. I watched her carry h
Hillary’s POVParis…The city of love.That is where Miguel took us. He actually took a broken-hearted woman to the city of love, isn’t that ironic?Well, it is not his fault, per se, he had not intended to bring us to Paris. When we left New York City, he had made plans to bring us to Canada. He got us out of New York safely, his contacts were legit and they didn’t betray us, we were snuck out on time and we did not encounter any setbacks along the way. For almost two weeks, we did not get attacked by Ariel's boys, it seemed like they had given up on me and we got excited about it because we thought that we have finally escaped them. All the same, we still kept a low profile and stayed in hiding for almost one month. We hid in a secure warehouse that Miguel claimed that it belongs to his family. After one month of peace and quiet, Miguel decided to move us into a more comfortable house. His family also happens to own a house in Canada and he said we would be safe if we stay there, an
Miguel’s POVI don’t know why I picked Canada, I have never really liked that country, I’ve lived in Canada for a very long time and right now, it saddens me to say that I like anything about Canada anymore. Besides, I can tell that the girls don’t like it here anymore, they hate it as much as I do but they can’t complain because they trust me to protect them and they believe that I must have a good reason for bringing them here. I could see the curiosity in their eyes when I brought them to the warehouse that our family uses for training. They looked at me in shock when they saw the equipment in the warehouse, I had to lie to them that my family has a security company that also specializes in training new recruits for the government or private sectors. They had bought my story and they settled in nicely while I went out to buy supplies and at the same time I got the word out to the elders of the Hartford’s, briefing them on our mission and the situation of things. Just as I expected,
Hillary’s POVWe were quite surprised when Becky and Miguel came back and started packing up like some deranged lunatics. If I didn’t know better, I would have thought that he was just trying to get us rattled off for no must reason but trust me, I know better. If anything, he even looks rattled off, he looks so disheveled. I could only imagine what he has seen to make him look this way. He didn’t explain it clearly to us, he only asked us to pack up all the important stuff because we are leaving in a few hours. This is not the first time that we are being attacked by Ariel’s goons, but this is the first time that I’m seeing him so rattled off and stressed out over the matter. It almost looks as if there was something else bothering him, but that’s not remotely possible, I mean, what could be more important than our lives, what could be more important. Could it be that he now regrets his actions, does he want to turn back and leave us to our problems? If that is the case, then I’m coo
Nathan’s POVTwo weeks,That is how long we have been on the run, trying to make it out of these islands. I thought getting out of the island is the end of my troubles. Turns out I was wrong, our problems have only just begun. We had to struggle so desperately to stay alive. The people in charge of this mission are professionals indeed. They placed some thugs on all the islands nearby. They know I’ll try to escape someday so they had everywhere blocked in an effort to keep me trapped. You would be surprised at the number of thugs that were paid to kill me, you can’t even begin to imagine the kind of weapons these guys were carrying. It’s nothing short of a miracle that we had made it out alive. It’s all thanks to Ray and the little training I got from him while we were still trapped on that unknown island. But I still have a lot to learn from Ray, I still hesitate while pulling the trigger, and I still hold back from killing anyone. I only shoot to incapacitate my enemies, I don’t sho
Still Nathan’s POV“Hi Gramps, did you miss me?” I muttered softly when my grandfather got into the living room. I’ve been waiting for him all morning, I snuck in here with my boys very early this morning, we took out all the guys on the premises and we did it quietly so as not to wake anyone, especially my grandfather. I won’t disrupt his sleep, no. I’m going to sit here and wait for him to wake up from his sleep. It’s 5:30 am, the whole household is so quiet because everyone is still asleep. In a few minutes, the housekeepers will be wakened up by their alarms and they will start their chores. My grandfather is always the first to wake up, it has always been his habit for as long as I can remember, that is why I know that he will be the first to wake up today, and that is why I’m waiting for him in his private room where he performs his usual morning meditation, that is always how he starts his day. But not today, it’s definitely going to be different for him because today is his da
Hillary’s POVParis, France, Almost three years later…..“I’ll take care of the babies, Hills. Go in there and have a shower, you stink girl.” Becky told me jokingly, snatching Gemma from my hand, cooing and cuddling with Gemma. Gerald is playing with some toys in the toy room, although they are just two years old, they are already exhibiting different characters. Gerald is so independent and creative, he always prefers to stay on his own and play with his toys, he hates being cuddled or pampered like a little child. You would never know that he is only two years old because he always acts all grown up and matured. On the other hand, Gemma is the complete opposite of her brother, she can never sit on her own, she clings to everyone, I mean everyone. You can never see her playing with her toys on her own, she is always seen with one of the grownups, and all she ever does is giggle and talk all day. The worst part of it all is that she expects you to understand everything she is say
