Chapter 71
Nathan had to call a cab and leave his car at the mansion because he felt too light-headed to be able to drive, he brought out his phone and dialed Gia’s number, he willed himself to calm down as he waited for her to pick up. “Nathan? What’s up?”She asked in a cheery voice which would have been okay if he hadn’t just heard the biggest news from Sebastian, something that Gianni must have known and kept away from him, that would be the reason why she had not been worried that the DNA might not be positive. She knew all along that Sebastian was his real father and kept it away from him. Even thinking about it didn’t make it sound right to his ears because if Sebastian was his real father, not only Gia but his parents lied to him. Everyone did and he didn’t want that to be the truth, he wanted Gianni to tell him that she helped with the outcome of the result. That would make his day better, it would be better to be a fraud at this point than to find out his whole life was a lie, his han

“So, you knew all along but you chose not to tell me, you kept me in the dark and lied to my face? How could you Gianni? I fucking trusted you, I told you everything, everything, I have not been hiding anything from you but you hid the biggest truth away from me, tell me why you did it? Why? Were scared that if I found out that Seb is my real father, I would ask for more and take from your inheritance?”Nathan yelled at her. She looked hurt by his words but right now, he didn’t care, he was hurt too, she betrayed his trust, and he had every reason to be mad at her and every reason to think that was her motive for not telling him anything. “Wow, you really think I am that kind of person too? What do you both even take me for? Some kind of gold-digger? What? I was scared for inheritance? I fucking divorced your dad and I never lied to you, yes, I didn’t tell you that Seb was your real father and I have my reasons for that and it was all for you, I never once thought about me,”She fire

Gianni bit hard on her nails as she waited for the person on the other end of the phone to pick up, she was pissed and at the same time sad that Nathan could think so little of her after everything she did for him, after everything she was still trying to do for him. He didn’t even have a little faith in her because if he did, he would have given her the benefit of the doubt when she had told him she had her reason for not telling him that Seb was his real father. he had a lot to learn and not knowing his true identity would make him more eager to work harder, not like she didn’t believe he could work hard while knowing Seb is really his father. She had every intention of telling him but she wanted to make sure it was the right time but that never came, now he doesn’t want to talk to her. “Pick up, come on,Gianni let out. she needed to calm down, there was no point in getting all worked up because of what happened because that wouldn’t change a thing. “Hello? Alex? Why haven’t you

If only Gianni had told him. If only she hadn’t lied to him. If only his mom had told him. Nathan gave up thinking and finally walked into his house some minutes after ten pm. He did his best not to make any noise as he walked upstairs to his room. He didn’t want to wake his sisters up. once in his room. He took a bath and laid on his bed with his arms over his forehead. He didn’t have too much to drink and his long walk home could have made the alcohol go out of his system but he felt like he was drunk. Drunk but not drunk enough that he could forget what had happened earlier. There was no way to erase everything that happened from his mind when everything directly affected his past and everything he knew. Not just his past. His future too. “Nathan? Are you okay?”Noa asked, walking into his room, he sat up on his bed. He might have not been as quiet as he had wanted if he had been able to wake Nora up. He didn’t want to worry her with his problem. “Nora, did I wake you up? I am so

“What are you talking about, Nora? How would you know that?”He questioned. “Mom kind of spoke about it, she didn’t talk at length but she told me you had a different mom, I didn’t think too much about it then but when the news of you being Ulmer’s son broke, I finally understood,”Nora knew? That was all Nathan could think about, Nora his younger sister knew that the parents he thought birthed him weren’t his real but he was the only one who didn’t know. He was the only one too dumb to know. “Why didn’t you tell me, Nora? I thought we told each other everything, I thought we were siblings who get along?”Nathan let out. He couldn’t be mad at her because she was young, it wasn’t her fault but he had no one else to be mad at. “Mom told me not to say anything to you, she made me promise not to ever speak about it, she said it only once when she was out of it, it was the anniversary of her sister’s death and she was mourning, I didn’t want to put her in a position where she would have

Nathan left the house for the first time, three days after he found out Sebastian was his real father, ready to put everything that happened behind him and focus on the future. Finding out made him even more determined to be worthy of everything he would get from Sebastian. He still had no intention of calling Gianni or even meeting her because she broke his trust and he was allowed to be mad at her. She didn’t call him again after the first day. Maybe she finally accepted that he wasn’t ready to speak to her. Sebastian on the other hand continued calling him nonstop. The past three days were spent doing absolutely nothing. He didn’t take Sebastian’s call but he sent him a text that he would see him when he was ready. After that, the old man didn’t call him again. The only other person he spoke with aside from his sisters for the three days was his contractor who was handling the hotel matters. They were making a lot of progress that Nathan was proud of. By their pace, the hotel will

“I know you just made that up, I saw Sebastian two days ago and he didn’t say anything about the DNA report, stop making things up,”Pedro responded. “Why will I lie about something that you can easily find out? if he didn’t tell you, that’s because he might not see it as any of your business. You can always just ask him,”Nathan told him with a laugh. The look on Pedro's face was comical. He was in disbelief and Nathan watched as he took out his phone and dialed a number that he assumed belonged to Sebastian. He spoke on the phone while glaring at him. Nathan stood there waiting for him to be done because he knew he was in for a rude awakening. He saw when he got the answer he was looking for. “So? You got your answer, right?”Nathan asked when he dropped the call. He almost burst out laughing at how Pedro looked. The news really shocked him. He was still in disbelief. “I don’t believe it, I am sure you did something to the report,”“You think I did that? Do you know how many time

“You know what? Say whatever you want, Pedro. It won’t change the fact that I am Sebastian Ulmer’s only true heir and soon-to-be chairman of Ulmer’s holding global. One thing is sure, once I take over, you will have no place in any of my company. Better keep that in mind. Sebastian is old and dying, and before he does, I would have taken over, I will make the decisions then and you won’t benefit from anything,”Nathan warned him and meant every word he said. He got to Pedro who frowned deeply. Nathan turned and walked away without a backward glance even when Pedro continued talking and shouting after him. When he entered his office, everyone suddenly went silent. He knew they had been talking about him but he didn’t give them any audience, he just walked straight to his table and sat down, opened his laptop, and went straight to work on what he had left behind a couple of days ago. He worked in silence until it was time to attend a team meeting. He waited until everyone else had left

Even though he said he would be meeting with Sebastian, Nathan changed his mind and instead just went home after work. What he did do after he got back home was call the older man who picked up almost immediately as if he had been waiting for his call. “Son, how have you been?”He asked. Nathan still couldn’t get used to the fact that he was really Sebastian’s son. He had no one to go to for answers. He still didn’t know how his birth mom and dad fell off. How they even met in the first place because clearly, they were worlds apart. “I am calling to let you know that I am doing fine,”He told him. “That’s good to know, when can I see you, son? You just left that day and I haven’t seen you since then,”Sebastian asked. “Yeah, I know. I had some things to sort out. when I am good, I will come see you,”Nathan told him. There was a moment of silence and then an audible sigh from Sebastian before he spoke again. “Okay, take your time. I will be here when you are ready,”He hung up t

Nathan still stayed four whole days away before he finally decided to go see Sebastian in his mansion. He called him that morning that he would be coming over and asked him to be the one to tell his director that Nathan would not be at the office. Seb had agreed without hesitating. “It is so good to finally see you after more than a week of waiting, I am sure you will have questions,”Sebastian said when Nathan walked in. The old man looked like he aged a lot in the last couple of days. He was seated in his living room. He was right about him having lots of questions because he sure did. “Good morning, sir,”Nathan greeted as he didn’t forget his manners. “Good morning, son, I was so happy when you called earlier that you would be coming to see me.”He said and gestured for Nathan to take a seat which he did. There was silence in the room. Nathan had a lot in mind but he didn’t know the first thing to say or the first question to ask. He hated the feeling so much and Sebastian must
