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
Nathan’s POV“I thought you were the better grandson, but you are more despicable than your brother, Travis. You are not the Nathan I used to know, you are a poisonous viper a dangerous creature. Your brother was right, you should have died on that island, you should never have escaped. You think you have it all figured out, you think you can defeat Travis and lead the family, but you are so wrong, Nathan, you will die trying and you will die in a very painful way. That is my only desire, I wish to see you shoot yourself in the foot, I wish to see you burn. You disgraced me and our entire family, you brought my secret out in the open, you ruined my relationship with my childhood friends and you didn’t do it for the family, you did it for yourself, you only did it to get back at me for choosing to take side with Travis. You never bothered to ask yourself why I chose Travis over you, you never thought of the reasons why I decided to give you up and support your brother. For one thing, T
Raymond POVIt has been three years and six months since the plane crash. At first, I thought we were never going to make it out of that island alive because Nathan was such a lazy foul that just wouldn’t follow my instructions. He tried getting away from me and he almost got us killed, more than once. Damn, it was so difficult to work with him and I nearly considered the idea of leaving him to fend for himself while I get myself off that fucking island, but I banished those ideas as quickly as they came, I couldn’t fail in this task because my families good name was at stake, our honor needs to be restored and Nathan was our best bet at recovering everything we lost when the elderly Nathan kicked us out of the family. I’m glad I did not abandon this mission, I’m glad I did not disappoint my family and my brother, Miguel. It gives me great joy to look at the man that Nathan Trent has become and I must admit that I am super proud of him. Not only does he know how to defend himself, but
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
