“Why will I do that? You guys are my family,”

“I know, but your life would have been easier if you had just let us go into foster care,”

“Don’t ever say that Nora, I won’t ever send you guys to foster care, now it is not even needed anymore, but even if I still have to work my ass off to take care of you guys, I still would not have let you guys be taken away from me,”

Nathan told her.

“Sure, but where is Annie? I haven’t seen her around. shouldn’t she be here seeing that you are hospitalized? I mean that’s what girlfriends do right?”

She asked. Nathan had not even thought of Annie since yesterday, he didn’t need to.

“We broke up Nora, she is not what she claimed she is,”

Nathan informed not wanting to go into details about what the said woman did to him, hopefully, he never sets his eyes on her again, he knew she would regret it if she knew just how much wealth he is about to get control over, he hasn’t even started yet and he already has so much to his name, she will definitely

How he and his sisters were able to survive in this place was beyond him. He smiled when he remembered he won’t have to live here or even need to come back here if he doesn’t want to which brought him back to the actual reason he was here in the first place, Trent, that fucker made his life hell and he would make him pay but first, he needed to pay up what he owed him and he was feeling generous so he may as well pay off the debt of his former neighbors, it would be his parting gift to them.

    “Are you playing with me right now or have you finally lost your mind? Which one is it?” Trent asked, throwing the cigarette he held at him, Nathan looked at it and stepped on it, looking up at Trent. “It is you that has lost your mind, just calculate everything that we all owe you and stop wasting my time,” Nathan responded. “And if I do that, how will it convert to money, I am sensing you want to be beaten so bad, you are asking for it, this is how you whore of a mother behaved until she met her miserable end.”Trent said. Nathan felt his temper rise at the mention of his mom, he hated Trent so much for reminding him what they had done to her. He had to remind himself severally that he was not here to fight, that he had better things to do than fight with Trent. It took a while but he finally composed himself enough to look at Trent. “I will make you pay for what happened to my mom, you, and everyone involved, but it is not today,”He said Trent who started laughing, the other

    “I am guessing by that look that you have seen it, in that case, you let these people be, don’t ever bother them or I will come for you, either way, I am coming for you,”Nathan said and turned to his former neighbors who were all staring at him in shock, no one expected him to be able to pay and he wasn’t surprised by their reaction. “I paid off all your debts so you can work hard not to be indebted to bastards like this, I hope you all have a great life,”Nathan said before turning to the landlord. “I will pay back what I owe you, just send your bank details to me, also, I will have people come to take those stuffs, but if there is anyone who needs them among you all, then you can have it,” He informed pointing at his old properties. “Did you win a lottery or something?”The landlord asked already typing what Nathan assumed was his bank details, and yes, the text came in a second later, Nathan sent him the money he owed him and wave his phone at him. “Yes, I won the lottery and

    “You finally came, you said forty minutes, it has been more than one hour,”Gianni scolded when he entered the living room. “Sorry, it took a longer time than I predicted, sorry for keeping you waiting,” He apologized and took his seat. “It is fine,”She responded. He noticed she looked sad and was almost in tears. “What happened Gia?” He asked sitting opposite her, she smiled. “You are the only person that has called me that since I got here, only my family calls me Gia,” “For real? Your family doesn’t live here? I thought Johan is your cousin?’ He asked confused. “Yup, he is but he calls me Gianni or Anni,” She informed. Anni sounded about right but it reminded him of a certain someone he would rather not remember so Gia it is. “What about your other family?”he asked even though he knew he should just ask why she wanted to see him, there was actually no need of knowing who her family is. “They all live in Italy, in fact, until Johan came down to Sydney after graduating

    Nathan woke up early the next morning and took a warm bath, after which he got ready, it was the first time he was wearing a suit in a long time, the last time he had worn a suit was five years ago during a college seminar, he stared at his reflection in the mirror and was satisfied with how he looked, he ditched his usual rough edge bangs for a slick do so that his hair was out of his face, it was foreign seeing his forehead without the bangs after a long time. He looked more mature and just like a real businessman, he was ready to face a group of greedy men whose only interest is to line their already full pockets, he had his mind mainly on Pedro, that man has done enough and should be stopped, he hated that even with everything he has done, he keeps getting richer, and if he let him win again, that would just be adding more “Not this time, he will not get it this time,”He said and smirked at his expression in the mirror. After he finished dressing up, he went down for breakfast a

    “Who might you be? Because I am sure you are not really the son of our brother, not a single resemblance to him,”The one Nathan assume to be the most daring of them asked, aside from Pedro of course since he was obviously the leader. “Are you sure? Or maybe you are blinded by the fact that you wish I will never be found and now you can’t accept that I am here,”Nathan said with a smirk. They were beyond threatened by his presence in the room and were all looking at each other waiting for who will speak first, he didn’t rush it and gave them all the time they need to collect their thoughts, they were in for a ride with him. “You can’t be my uncle’s son, because that son doesn’t even exist, it is the medication that he is taking that is making him make shits like that up,”Pedro let out and Nathan laughed. “Right, and you know that, how? Anyway, it is up to Sebastian to determine whether I am his son or not, and not you, now let’s not push our luck here by assuming things,”Nathan a

    “What are you saying? That’s your money everything in there is yours, the only reason I am aware is that the card is connected to mine but I already unconnected it this morning so you don’t have to worry about me knowing how much you spent and you don’t have to worry about it running dry ei9ther because for every million you use, I good ten more million is entering,”Gianni disclosed which got Nathan wondering just how much wealth he was going to be in control of when he finally get named as the heir by Sebastian, he had an idea but also had reasons to believe it might be more than he ever imagined. “Right, I am still not used to it,”He responded and she laughed. She dropped him off at the hospital, she wanted to come with him but he had told her no, he wanted to have time with his sisters and he didn’t want them to be uncomfortable, she understood him and left with her driver after he told her to make sure to call him if anything else happens, he didn’t have to meet Sebastian until

    “You are right, do you know that good things happened to me once I broke things off with her,”he told her and realized it was true, even though bad things had also happened to him after he broke up with her, the good things that happened overpowered the bad. “Right, now you are seeing the light, in fact, I will prefer you be with someone like the pretty lady you work for that with that witch, I disliked her so much,”Nora let out. She did a pretty good job hiding her dislike because he never would have thought she did if she had not mentioned it, it never crossed his mind until she had because Nora had always been nice to Annie when he was around. “Nora, Gianni is married, and you never even made me know that you didn’t like Annie,”he said. “Aha, I keep forgetting who the pretty lady is, about your ex, she was the only thing that made you really happy, I saw the way you were with her and didn’t want to ruin it because you deserve all the happiness in the world, I figured you know

    “I had to trap you,”“Yeah and now I don’t fit in any of my clothes,”She lamented.“That’s why you have mine. Plus, your mom was super proud of me,”“Why won’t she? When you helped her fulfill her biggest wish. They are arriving tomorrow. My brothers are going to give you a piece of their mind,”Nathan pretended to shake in fear but he had no fear. His brother-in-laws were cool people and they treated him nicely. In fact, he recently signed a deal with her oldest brother. “They like me too much to scold me.”He reminded her. She rolled her eyes. “Are you coming with me or do you still want to be locked up here? You have been here all day,”She lamented. “I am done now. And by Monday, I will finish the last job I have to do and you will finally have me to yourself,”He assured her. “I wish. Next week is going to be very busy for us.

    “Nathan, calm down. it’s just speculations right now and I am pretty sure if they are taking him to the mental hospital, he would still not be released,”Nathan honestly hoped that it was just speculation. Pedro was a terrible person who doesn’t deserve a second chance because if that fucker was given a second, third, and fourth chance, he would still do the same thing. He was rotten beyond repair. “I hope they don’t try to free him because that would not go well for any of them,”Nathan let out. Every other person that has wronged him was already paying for their crimes. Trent, Dylan, Dan, and all of Dylan’s men. Pedro won’t be any different because he did some many wrong shits. “Aren’t you supposed to meet with Alec today?”Gianni asked. Yeah, he was supposed to meet with Alec to discuss plans for the new resort in Greece but he said that his oldest daughter had the flu so he couldn’t make it. “We postponed. Callista has the flu,”He informed her. “Oh, poor child. I hope she get

    “My brothers found out because Luna informed them that she saw something. They came and saw me crying during my engagement ceremony. He hit me that night and there were bruises on my arms. I had to tell them and they took action immediately,”She revealed. Nathan had so much respect for her brothers. They couldn’t be at the ceremony today but they sent their best regards.“Juan hacked into his system and deleted everything. I couldn’t believe I was finally free after two whole years of living in fear that if I did anything wrong he might expose me. In Venice, having your sex tape leaked could ruin both you and your whole family’s reputation,”Nathan knew how bad it could get. That was one of the things Dylan used against his victims.“Please tell me he went to jail,”“Sadly, no, I didn’t report what happened as I didn’t want to expose myself and my family to that kind of attention. I locked myself away and Luna was the few people who made sure I was okay, I met your dad shortly after

    The event started immediately and Nathan followed through as the various directors gave different speeches and a live band performed and soon, the Vice President took the podium. Nathan knew he was next. He thought he would still feel nervous but he got over it when his name was called. He stood up with his head held high. The whole hall erupted in loud clapping when he walked to the podium and stood in front of the mic. He smiled. “Hello, good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for honoring the invitation and honoring me tonight. My name is Nathan Montgomery Ulmer. The chairman of Ulmer’s Holdings and the founder of Kay Royal Hotels.”He introduced. A lot of people didn’t know him as the founder of the new chains of hotels that have been making headlines lately and he saw the shock in their eyes. “I know, I know. a lot of people are not aware yet but I actually founded the Kay Royal Hotels a couple of months ago. The hotels though already in business will be officially launch

    “Are you ready? There are a lot of reporters outside the venue and we have to walk the red carpet,”Gianni reminded him when their car came to a stop in front of the venue that they were using for the ceremony. It was one of Ulmer’s Event centers. The biggest event center in the city. The same event center that Pedro had almost sold to Dylan as part of his payment for the favors he did for him. Nathan pushed the thought of the criminals out of his mind and focused on the present.“Yes, I am ready.”He told Gianni as their car door was opened and the flashes of cameras almost blinded him. He got out of the car and helped her out. He didn’t let go of her and together they walked the red carpet. Waving at reporters. They stood for a few media photos before they walked into the main auditorium.There were no interviews because they made sure to inform the reporters who would be present that they weren’t granting any.The auditorium was already packed full when they walked in.“Our seat is

    “Mr. Chairman? Mr. Chairman? How are you feeling today and what have you been up to recently?”Nathan laughed when Nelly placed a mic in front of him when he got down the stairs. She had a new interest. She no longer wanted to be a doctor or an actress. She wanted to be a reporter and she has been going at it all week. Waiting for him to show up and then asking him questions. He liked the session too so he made sure to answer her questions each time.“Hmm, I haven’t been up to much, recently but today is my inauguration ceremony, that’s all for today.”Nathan said with a smile. It has been a month since Sebastian made the announcement and everything after that had been good for him. Pedro was arrested the same night. When Nathan woke up the day after the attack, the news of Pedro’s arrest had been everywhere. Even the news about his attempt to get everything from Sebastian by kidnapping him was also revealed. Sebastian said he gave the go-ahead for the news to be published. As expec

    “Hey, ladies,”Nathan greeted them when he walked into the movie room.“Shush! We are trying to watch a movie,”Nora scolded him. he placed his hand over his mouth and quietly went to sit with Gianni who smiled at him. he spent the last hour speaking to the police because they had a few questions for him. he even offered to go to the police station if they wanted but they said there was no need for that. He answered all the questions. Retelling everything that Pedro had told him on the phone. Including when he had admitted to being the one who punished his father down the stairs. Thankfully, Nathan had their conversation recorded so he sent the recording to the police. He was reassured that Pedro would be arrested soon. Nathan focused on the movie his sisters were watching. “Hey, how is your dad?”Gianni whispered beside him.“He is fine. He went to bed early because of the stress of today and I am now the chairman,”He announced proudly and watched her eyes widen in shock.“That’s

    Sebastian answered a few questions that the reporters had most of which were about what Pedro had said in the interview he did a few weeks ago. Sebastian answered the questions and debunked everything that wasn’t true. Concerning the Dylan issue, Sebastian told the reporters that it had nothing to do with him as he didn’t consider Pedro one of his own anymore. He was also asked if he would try to save Pedro’s company or buy him out and to that Sebastian had answered that he had no interest in doing any of that but his son might have interest and they could hear it from him directly or wait to find out after the purchase has been completed. Nathan laughed when Sebastian looked his way and whispered “Help” Nathan took that as his cue to take over the meeting. He took the mic from his dad and smiled at the cameras. “MY old man has had enough. If you guys have any other questions. You can ask me. Thank you to everyone who made time to be here for this meeting and to those who are watch

    “You are fighting a lost battle and you know it. you keep doing more shit and locking yourself further into the dark room. There is no saving you and honestly, I don’t want to. Just know the only reason you got to this point was because Sebastian still saw you as family and wanted to give you as much chance as possible but not anymore,”Nathan told him. not like he expected Pedro to listen to him. if he was going to listen, he would have stopped the minute he found out the DNA test proved that Nathan was indeed an Ulmer. There was no stopping and this time, he was going to jail. “Everything would have been okay if you didn’t come into the picture. I made a mistake. It should have been that bitch. I should have picked her instead and finished her off. By then I won’t have anything to lose. She was the reason you came into the picture. Don’t fucking think this is over. It will never be over until I get what rightful belongs to me,”Pedro promised and before Nathan could say anything el
