“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

    Nathan stared at the email he just got wondering if the sender had made a mistake, he hasn’t even submitted a proposal, he was still working on it and planned on calling to schedule a meeting later once he put some finishing touches to his proposal, so how did they already get his proposal and why does it look like they don’t want to continue the business. Nathan dialed his number but it went straight to voicemail. “Hey, Nathan, what’s going on? Why are you frowning so early on a Monday morning? I know working sucks but cheer up, just two weeks ago you were excited to work here,”Gianni said as she walked into his office. Even though she was given her own office with bigger space and better furniture, the woman refused to stay in her office, instead, she spent the three to four hours she spends in the company in his office. People were starting to look at them weirdly but Gianni seemed not to care. He didn’t care either and that wasn’t the issue on the ground right now, he had pressi

    Nathan drove to the address that Alec had given to him. He got there in less than thirty minutes, the office complex was small compared to Ulmer’s Holding but it was still bigger than most one-person owned company, he read a lot about Alec over the weekend too, and found out the man was a self-made billionaire who has businesses in a lot of countries and was always looking for new ways to expand. The current project that he was working on was related to Alec's influence in Greece. Sebastian was planning on expanding to Greece and Alec had a great advantage as he owns a lot of properties in Greece so Sebastian wanted his help and in exchange, Nathan proposed that he can get a stake in the company once it is established and also, they can work together to improve his influence in Australia since he wasn’t that big here yet. He hoped he would be able to convince him to take them up on it. Nathan aspires to be like him. Yes, he would not be able to do that now seeing that he had a mega st

    Nathan didn’t see or hear from Gianni for the rest of the week, he wanted to call her but he didn’t. reason being that he wanted her to see the fault in what she did by not letting him know before submitting the proposal even though he found out it wasn’t her fault that the deal almost fell through, he still hated that she didn’t let him know before doing it even though he knew if she had not, Alec would have believed Pedro’s words and he would have lost for real. He wanted her to see the wrong that she did so even though he hated not talking to her and the fact that her absence in the office was felt, he still didn’t call her. Instead, he focused on working hard. He spoke with Alec a couple of times over the week and they both agreed that after Alec returns from vacation, he would go with him to Greece to find a good place to set up the new business. “Nathan, I am sorry,”Gianni said walking into Nathan’s office. Nathan looked up from what he was doing, it took her seven whole days

    Nathan decided to spend the weekend at home with his sisters. after he started working at the company, he had limited time to spend with them, they all left together for work and school in the morning but by the time he returned from work, they would already be in bed. Not like his sisters were complaining but he used to have time for them, times when he asked them questions about how their day went and what they have been up to and he wanted to do that again. He was seated by the pool watching his sisters do their own thing when his phone rang. He picked it up when he saw who it was, thinking that she just wanted to say hi. “Hey, Gia,”He said in greeting. “Where are you right now?” “I am at home,”He told her sensing that everything wasn’t okay by how she sounded. “Nathan, can you please come to the mansion right now? Seb is having a crisis and he wants to see you, you have to hurry,”She informed. Well, so much for spending the whole day with his sister, he got up and picked u

    Nathan spent the remaining of the day at the mansion. He was sad about how everything went down and was worried for Gianni. On top of that, he had to donate his blood because the doctor said he needed fresh O rhesus negative blood and that was his blood type. He didn’t mind donating if that would help the old man out. When Nathan finally arrived home after making sure Gianni would be okay on her own, he found his sister, Nora waiting for him even though it was quite late. “What are you doing awake? It is late,”He told her as he sat down tiredly. The stress of today and what played out drained all of his energy that he just wanted to sleep and wake up when everything was okay again but things didn’t look like it would be okay any time soon. “I was waiting for you, I need to know something,”She said, folding her hands against her chest. “Okay, what do you want to know?”He asked. “Nathan? Is it true? You are Sebastian Ulmer’s son?”Nora asked. Of course, he should have known she

    Nathan informed her. He was so tired of Pedro and how the sick greedy man was handling things at the head office and he wasn’t the only one, everyone he interacted with has been complaining, the bastard even went as far as firing directors who told him he was going about things wrongly. Nothing anyone says was good enough for Pedro, if Ulmer doesn’t wake up soon, he might run the company down. Nathan was sure he wasn’t only doing that at the head office, he was sure the greedy man was doing greater damage at their other subsidiaries, Nathan hated that he couldn’t do anything because his hands were tied. He barely had any power in that place to even be in the meetings with the executives and he badly wanted to be there. “I don’t care what he does with the company Nathan, Seb put him in charge so he would deal with the lose once he wakes up, in fact, I have to tell him that, maybe if I did, he would wake up faster, he won’t want the company he built to run down by his cousin,”Gianni s

    The rest of the week saw the company going through a major negative change. Nathan watched people who he worked with get relieved of their jobs and sent home and they were replaced by unserious people that he didn’t even know where Pedro got them from. The most painful of them all was when Pedro told director Christian to retire, it was off-putting and he had to step in and remind him he had no such power but Pedro had told him to fuck off and Christian told him not to worry about it. It was Monday again, two weeks since Sebastian went into a coma and the company stock had dropped by thirty percent. Nathan found out that it was the first time in years that the company would experience such a huge loss but Pedro refused to see the errors in his ways. Refused to listen to anyone and kept changing things. Even the people that didn’t get fired didn’t like coming to work anymore. The café was shut down because the fucker fired the workers there. According to him, the company had no money

    “Wow, woman, I must say, you surprised me in there, I wasn’t even expecting you to show up at the office,”Nathan let out as soon as they got into their office. ‘‘I had to come, we have more pressing issues to talk about and I didn’t want to talk about it on the phone. At her words, the smile on Nathan’s face vanished. “What are you talking about?”He asked. “There is this guy, his name is Nicholai, he has tried a couple of times to work with Sebastian but he refused. Last night, I overheard Pedro talking with him. I know he is the one because Pedro was speaking in Russian and I can understand Russian too. He was talking about a deal and I don’t know what it is about but I know it will not be good,”Gianni disclosed. Nathan knew Nicholai. The man was a known mafia and a criminal that got away with his crimes because he is rich and his family had a huge influence in Russia. He wasn’t surprised Pedro knew someone like that personally. “Wait? Is that why you suddenly decided to retu

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
