The next couple of days saw Nathan falling into a pattern with his sisters, he still needed to recover so Gianni had advised him to spend the remaining days until Seb returns to recover properly, he spent his mornings with Nelly who was doing so much better now and afternoons after Nora returns from school was spent playing games or watching movies, it gave him so much joy seeing his sisters happy and having the best of life. Their life has been so much better in recent days than he can ever imagine, they woke up when they want to and food is ready for them, not just any kind of food but the best kind, made by a well-trained chef, what more, Nathan didn’t have to worry about college for the both of his sisters because as soon as he could, he went to the bank and deposited huge sums into two accounts for Nel and Nora, that will see them through college and any other education they will like to get, not to mention Gianni had given both of the girls their personal cards that they could u
“Ahem,”Nathan sighed remembering that he had his own issues to deal with. “Why? Did you think about the meeting again? Don’t worry, it will be as easy as ABC, don’t fret,”Gianni encouraged. “I really wish it will go as easy as you claim,”he answered. “It will, don’t worry,”She said and focused on driving, the rest of the drive was in silence, Nathan did his best to not have any thoughts about the meetup but when the gate of the huge mansion opened, his heart skipped multiple beats. “We are here,”Gianni announced. He wished he could share in her present excitement but one look at how huge the house was made him anxious all over again, a man that was good enough to amass such great wealth cannot easily be fooled.Nathan's mouth fell open when he got out of the car, it was like he stepped into another world, for start, the expansive mansion was a stunning sight to behold, with towering columns, a sweeping staircase, and numerous balconies overlooking the rolling hills, the house
“That’s so sad.”He commented. He looked around, hoping Gianni would show up because it was about to get awkward in the room with just the two of them and the old man looking at him like that. “Gianni, tell me you majored in business but couldn’t afford to finish?”The old man asked. He seemed to be taking breaks between questions to either gather his energy or he just wanted him to feel relaxed before asking the next question. “Yes, I was almost done but my mom passed so I couldn’t finish,’’ He revealed hoping the old man would assume the mom he was referring to was his aunty. “I see, so what are your plans now that money is no longer the problem?”He questioned further. “I already registered to take my post-graduate exams and I have every intention of going further after that.”“That’s good to know. How well is your business handling skill?”he asked. Nathan paused for a moment to consider the question before answering, he didn’t want to fumble before the man. “For now, I read
After the meet-up with Sebastian, Nathan got called to resume work at Ulmer’s holding three days later, as Gianni had said, the old man wanted him to have practical learnings and the best place to do it was at the company, today was his first day at the office and he couldn’t conclude if he was nervous or just excited. It has always been his dream to work in a corporate organization, in fact, his biggest dream had been to be the one to lead the company, this wasn’t the way he envisioned his dream to be like but right now he doesn’t really care, all he knows is he gets to work with like-minded and intelligent people, he was sure he would learn much more about running the affairs of a company, he would know the department he will be working with once he arrives at the office. He decided to wear something that screamed his readiness to work, so he picked out a well-tailored black suit, a white, long-sleeve shirt, a navy-blue tie, and a pair of oxford shoes. He styled his usual messy ha
“Thank you,”“You are welcome. If you don’t mind me asking, are you related to the chairman?”James asked and Nathan hesitated for a moment before nodding. “Yes, is there a problem with that?”Nathan asked. “No, not at all, it is just, that explains a lot, anyway welcome and I hope to see you around. Your superior will be here soon so feel comfortable here while you wait,”James said and excused himself. After he left, Nathan sat there waiting for whoever the superior was, he thought of calling Gianni to find out but decided not to, his reason being that she might still be in bed since she doesn’t have to work. A lot of young people around his age and some older than him passed by the lounge while he waited for the superior, none of them acknowledged him but he could tell that they were all curious to know who he was and he was curious too to know them. Even though James had said his superior would arrive at any minute, Nathan sat there bored for more than an hour but no one spoke
After the introductions to the members of the marketing department of the company, Nathan was assigned an office, he never expected to be given a special office but guessed the chairman’s son’s privilege was already working for him. His office was big and spacious, the windows were transparent and he could see the outside from his office anyone who could look up to the ninth floor of the tall building would definitely see his office, there was a huge table close to the window and three chairs, a shelf that mainly contains books that he assumed were business books, and also a couple of files were sitting on the table. Nathan walked into the office and breathed in the fresh smell that he has always dreamed of, this place was perfect for him and he wanted to start work almost immediately. He couldn’t contain his joy and did a little happy dance. He felt embarrassed and stopped after a moment. “You have made it Nathan, now let’s work hard and hit the top soon.”He encouraged himself. H
Barely a week after Nathan started working at the office, he got told he would be given a project by his team leader. No, he never expected it to come so fast but according to Demon, his team leader, it was the chairman’s order and he was to work on the deal on his own. Nathan almost thought he had been joking but right now, he was staring at the mail that confirmed the project, and all files related to it were already sent to him. Yeah, the week barely started but it was definitely going to be a long busy week for him. They didn’t even let him rest before sending the mail to him. It still felt like they made a mistake but the mail was addressed to him and the file on his table had his name on it. “I can do this,”He told himself as he dropped his bag and sat down. The advantage of having his own office was that he didn’t have to deal with anyone, as long as he wasn’t required to meet them because it would have been hell of embarrassing for people to see him go through various stages
“I don’t do much, I am only just learning, my team leader, gives me past projects to go through, and I write and audit them and send them back to him, he makes necessary corrections and sends them back, I am also given some fresh projects to look into but this is the first time that I am to work solo, okay not solo, with you on a project and I am super excited to share what I have learned since I started working here,”Nathan excitedly recounted to her. “Wait, how are you so happy to get a job that might stress you out already? You barely even started working here, like one week, that’s how long you have been here, I am just curious to know,” She questioned, removing her hands from his table and crossing them over her chest. If only she knew how nervous he was. ‘’I am excited but also nervous, I know I will do well and I like to work. This has been my dream since I was young, I went to business school because I was interested in becoming a guru in business,”He recounted to her and
“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. We have the wedding rehearsals and other things. I don’t think we will have time for each other until after our wedding. I am having a bridal shower,
“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
