Nathan decided to take the rest of the weekend off and spend time with his sisters since it had been a while since he last had a one-on-one talk with them, he got to know the little things they have been up to, Nora told him about her upcoming activities in school and he promised her that he would be there, Nelly, on the other hand, was just glowing and was all smile, recounting how the mean girls in her class were now trying to be her friend now that she was richer than them. They talked about watching him on the TV and he felt so much pride when they told him they were proud of him. He called Gianni to find out how Sebastian was doing and she told him he was recovering well, he wanted to go see him again but he didn’t want to old man to ask him questions that he couldn’t give answers to since Gianni said they shouldn’t talk about what happened while he was in coma with him just yet, he hoped they could talk about it soon as he didn’t want Pedro to be the first to tell the old man w
Sebastian was so tired of sitting on his hospital bed doing nothing but letting time pass, he knew even though he was awake now and the doctors saying that he was recovering, he did not have much to live; He didn’t want to live the rest of his short life just being hospitalized but Rekha has refused to let him have what he wanted, it was like the young woman was keeping him here and away from the outside world to shield him, like he was some child. “Crazy woman,”He mocked. She left a while ago after nagging him for hours when he told her he would like to be discharged. He had a lot that he needed to put in place before he finally leaves the land of the living. He knew that day was closer than the doctors were saying and has long accepted that. Now that his son was finally found, all he needed to do was do right by him and give him an inheritance that would be huge enough and make up for the struggle that he went through growing up just because his mom and her sister decided to be st
“Nothing happened, they just ganged up against me, everything was going smoothly and then, they woke up one morning and decided to call a meeting, it was your will so I had to respect it,”His will was used against him by the people he thought would have his back. He couldn’t believe Rekha of all people would do that to him. “What nonsense, how could they, they never spoke a word to me either,”he let out. “Maybe because they expected you to go back to coma, maybe they don’t want you to know, they didn’t even report that you were up and okay, the only reason I found out was that I came to get my tooth fixed and saw your doctor who told me you were awake, they are doing everything to keep you silent,”Pedro let on. It made sense; why else would they have kept everything away from him and also, why would the public not be made aware that he was awake, he was sure his coma would have affected the company’s stock and every other thing and the news of his return would have set all doubt
“I will let you rest, just know that I am always here to help and all you have to do is call for me,”He nodded and Pedro walked out. He closed his eyes and went over what he had talked about with Pedro. He couldn’t believe so much happened while he was away for such a short period. What would happen once he was dead? Would the two of them divide everything he owned between themselves while mocking him? He just couldn’t believe Rekha had the mind to do such a thing to him after everything he did for her. She walked in at that moment, he opened his eyes and just seeing her smile made him mad, how could she smile like that to him after everything she did behind his back, she was one deceitful woman who had the best poker face to hide behind. “Why are you frowning? Did you miss me?”She asked; coming to hug him on the bed. He wanted to push her away but he resisted; what had he been thinking, why else would a young woman like her marry him, he deluded himself into thinking she was doing
“Whatever Pedro told you; I don’t care what he said, all you need to know is that he made those things up and he is trying to get us against each other, you better not believe him,”Gianni let out. “I didn’t ask you to explain, I want to see the young man, call him,” Gianni glared at the old man, this was the first time that she was genuinely mad at him ever since they got married, the fact that he believed she and Nathan were having an affair so blindly, just shows he has little or no trust for her whereas she trusted him. She couldn’t believe she has lived in constant fear that he might not make it and now that he was back, instead of being grateful for what they did for him, he was listening to Pedro of all people, that fucker that didn’t even wait for him to pass before he started running down his company, Gianni was damn sure he made up other lies to cover up the reason he was thrown out of the company. “Just call Nathan and stop looking so angry, you can just say nothing is h
Nathan looked to where his phone was kept, he wasn’t expecting to get a call from Gianni since it was Saturday, he expected to rest. Seb was still at the hospital and she was spending all her time with him. He took the call. “Nathan, Seb wants to see you,”Gianni's voice echoed over the phone, she sounded very pissed. “What’s going on?”He asked, already on his feet. “You will have to find out by yourself when you come around, meanwhile, the old man is talking a whole lot of nonsense so you might want to brace yourself,”She answered. He didn’t like how she sounded and the fact that she wasn’t telling him what happened straight up didn’t help either. “I am on my way,”He answered and the call ended. He was alone as his sisters both went out with their friends, he went upstairs to his room to change, still wondering what would have made Gianni pissed and why she said to brace himself, did he somehow find out what happened? Even if he did, he had no reason to be mad at them, if anyt
“So, are you finally going to tell me what kind of relationship you have with my wife?” Sebastian asked when it was just the two of them, Nathan stared at him in confusion wondering why he would even think he had any other kind of relationship with Gianni, it was just so not what he expected Seb to be worried about but apparently, that’s what he wanted to know. “I already told you what kind of relationship we have, I don’t know what else you want me to say,” Nathan responded firmly. “I have proof that you both are intimate,”Nathan stared at him, maybe the old man wasn’t okay yet, maybe something messed with his head because what kind of evidence would he possibly have to prove that he and Gianni had an intimate relationship? Nathan wanted to laugh in his face and call him a joker but the old man looked too damn serious for it to be a joke. “I want to see the proof,”Nathan told him and watched as the old man brought his phone out, typed a few things, and then passed his phone to
“Oh, this is about occupying your office? That’s the damage I have done? I thought you were going to state all the wrong business decisions that I have made but I bet you have none because the person you took his words from is the same person whose mess I was trying to clean up, I might be a novice but one thing is sure, I do my best and you can ask the people you employed because they can all testify that I did a pretty good job for a supposed novice,”Nathan fired at him. “I don’t care right now, all I want is for you to stay away from my company, I own the company and I make all the decisions pertaining to my company,”Sebastian responded. Nathan decided that there was no point in still engaging the old man, he already picked a side and nothing he was going to say would make him change his mind. “Right, it is your company, do whatever you want with it, I am out of here,”Nathan said the parting words and walked out of the room without a backward glance, he wanted to look for Gian
