“Dad, I am so glad that you are awake, please don’t scare me like that again,”Nathan told Sebastian when he finally got the chance to speak with him. his sisters hadn’t let him say anything for the past thirty minutes since they arrived in Sebastian’s ward. They finally gave way for him and Gianni to say Hi to Sebastian and said they were going to get something to snack on. The old man looked like he aged twenty years since the last time Nathan saw him. It made him so mad and made him want to destroy Pedro and everything that mattered to him. “I am sorry, you had to cut your trip short because of me,”Seb said. “We were already going to leave anyway, we would have been on our way by the end of tomorrow,”Gianni said and Sebastian turned to her.“Gianni. You came,”He said. his lighting up. Gianni walked close to his bed and took his hand in hers. “Of course, I came.”She said, “I thought Pedro managed to talk you into leaving my son, Pedro is crazy, don’t listen to anything he sa
“Why should it bother me? Not that it is any of your business but my woman and I have no plans of hiding our relationship. Both of our parents are aware and they are in support of our relationship. Former marital status or age isn’t a problem for us. I love and she loves me. That’s all that really matters,”Nathan answered. There was silence in the room after his answer. He didn’t mind the silence. He gave them time to take in what he had just said because he meant every word and he didn’t need to explain the kind of marriage that his father had with Gianni. “The chairman, what is his stand with everything that has been going on? And we heard he is currently in a coma again. Does that mean his health is still not stable?”A reporter asked after a long moment of silence.“The chairman is not in a coma. He was resting yesterday and I went to see him this morning. He sends his greetings and soon I am sure he would have something to say to everyone,”Nathan answered. They seemed to be sa
Gianni couldn’t stop smiling as she watched Nathan speak on TV in his father’s hospital room with his sister seated near her and her smile grew even more when he was asked about their relationship and he answered. Not just his answer but the way his eyes filled with love for her when he spoke. It warmed her heart so much and at the same time, she felt stupid for even believing for a moment that Nathan didn’t love her. She was glad she decided to come with him, glad she didn’t stay back in Venice, it would have been a bad idea. Pedro had tried to come between them and she almost let him but then, she had a rethink. Pedro has never liked her or wanted her to be happy so listening to him would only mean she wants to be unhappy that’s why she chose not to let his words ruin what she had with Nathan and she had been right. “I am glad I gave him the push that he needed,”Sebastian said and Gianni turned to him. the sly old man. “I told you not to tell him how I felt about him,”She said
Nathan took a sip of his whiskey and went right back to typing away on his computer. He has been up since 12:30 am and it was now past 3:00 am but he was still working. It was the weekend after all and he would have all day to sleep. He needed to finish what he had been up to all week and be done before the weekend was over so that he could move on to the next thing on his list. The stuff he had gone to check out the other when he left the office early turned out to be a great idea because now, he was well on his way to acquiring one of the properties that housed some of Dylan’s gangs. It had come as a crazy idea after the exchange with Dylan. Nathan wanted to make him angrier. Drive him crazy because the resort definitely drove him crazy. That’s how he found out who it was that had been on to him. Nathan didn’t care that he now knew who he was. It was what he wanted anyway, for him to find out who he was by himself. He was sure he finally spoke to Trent who had told him who he was b
Nathan remembered that day very clearly and remembered how he had frozen when they related the news to him. He didn’t know how he was able to walk to his apartment or how he got the cab to take him home but he somehow ended up at home and found his little sisters crying with people surrounding them. It had been the hardest day of his life because he couldn’t even cry. He had to arrange for her body to be taken from where she died and when he saw the state she was in, he had cried his heart out. He knew they killed her but back then, he couldn’t do anything. He had been so scared of what they would do to him and his sisters. Especially his sisters. He could still remember what Trent had told him that day.“You should know that your mom wasn’t able to finish paying her debts, if you don’t want your sister to suffer the same fate, you better pay up,”Nathan had nodded and sniffed back tears. Back then, he dared not react in a way that would annoy those people. Nathan shook his head to c
“Thank you, Dad, for working so hard and trusting me with everything,”Nathan said. Even though he has been cool with Sebastian since he found out he was his real father, this was the first time he hugged him this close and he made a mental note to do it more often. “No, thank you for being a good son. If you weren’t so hard-working and determined, I would never have considered doing something like that. Even though you are my son, you would have not been allowed anywhere near the company if you weren’t the way you are. I am so happy that my son is someone who loves business and wants the company to grow more,”Sebastian replied, patting his back softly. They stayed like that for a few minutes before they broke the hug.“Dad? Can I ask you something?”Nathan asked. He wasn’t sure Sebastian would tell him but he wanted to try. “Ask away,”“What did Pedro tell you on the night that you collapsed that got your blood pressure up?”Nathan asked him. He heard Sebastian’s intake of breath
Nathan didn’t know how he expected Dylan to look like when he had made the decision to come and see him but whatever his expectations could have been, it was not the way he had met Dylan. The once-feared man who created so many bad memories for many people walked into the place. He was handcuffed even though there was a transparent wall separating them. He looked like he aged twenty years in the one week since he was arrested. All the arrogance he used to have was gone from his eyes now. He looked pitiful and if Nathan had not been at the receiving end of his cruelty more times than he could count, he might have felt some pity for him. Right now, he didn’t feel any kind of pity for him. In fact, he didn’t feel anything at all. Not satisfaction of finally seeing him locked up or resentment. He felt nothing. “What do you want? Who the fuck are you and why do you want to see me?”He said had a sharp mouth. Good for him. He needed to hold on to something because his bad days were far fro
He got into his car still angry as fuck and drove out of the place before he changed his mind, go back, and keep hitting Dylan until the bastard meet an end that was at least similar to what he did to his mom. His mom. He couldn’t stop the tears when he thought of the things those bastards could have done to her. starving her and forcing themselves on her. Nathan wiped his eyes multiple times but it was no use because the tears just kept coming out on their own.“AAARRGGGHHHH!!!”He yelled in pain, hitting the car steering. It was too much. He needed Dylan to pay more. Needed to see him hanging upside down with his dick chopped off and fed to him. He wanted the same thing to happen to all the people who had a hand in what happened to his mom. He could barely see because his eyes were blurred by the tears that kept streaming down his face. He hated them so much. Hated Dylan so much. Hated how it took so long to finally get him off the street. Hated that the bastard spent years getting
