Despite his position in the office being limited, Nathan didn’t mind at all, for one, it gave him more time to focus on his own business idea and the people he shared office with were super nice to him, willing to help and give input when he asked. His life in the office was going just fine and his baby project was looking okay, he had a meeting with the people who would do the reconstruction today and that’s what he was going to spend his lunch hour doing. He got out of the elevator and instantly wished he had listened to his instincts and gone to get coffee like he had wanted to. Now he was standing face to face with his number one enemy. Since he resumed work in the office two weeks ago, Nathan had made a point to not encounter Pedro, not like he was scared of him or anything like that, he just didn’t want to deal with him physically and he has been successful until now. The older man stood in front of him and each time he tried to pass by him, he would block his way. Nathan let o
Nathan put whatever happened with Pedro that morning at the back of his mind, the last thing he wanted was to let him in his head when he had better things to do with his time. He did his usual work, attended a team meeting and after that, it was his lunch break. He had to postpone his meeting with the contractor because he had some errands that he had to run in the office that he couldn’t postpone. “Thank you for choosing us for this, I promise you that you won’t regret it,”Nathan said to the client whom he had come to see. The meet-up went better than he had thought. When his superior had called him and told him to go see the client, he had been skeptical about going as he didn’t want the client to lose interest because of him. Turns out, he had nothing to worry about because she was ready to work with them. “No, I should thank you for explaining things so well and being such a gentleman. It is a good thing that they said yes when I asked for you,”She said; Nathan looked at her
“What I am saying is, I can help you, Pedro hasn’t changed much, aside from the fact that he blew up after scamming a lot more people, I won’t let him win this time,”She said in a firm voice. “Thank you for reaching out to me ma’am, it means a lot,”Nathan told her. He might not know when or how he would need her help yet but he was sure the time would come. “There is no need for thank you, I am only doing it to get some kind of personal closure, I don’t mean that I am using you for that, what I mean is that I will get a lot of joy if Pedro fails in his plans.”She told him and he nodded. “Still I want to say thank you, I will be sure to let you know when I need your help, can I have your contact please?”He asked politely, this was even though she looked young, was way older, and could easily have given birth to him, how she had a sister younger than him kind of baffled him but he didn’t want to be nosy, if it pricked his interest enough, he would ask Grace. She gave him her cont
“You are scared for nothing Nathan, that DNA result isn’t going to be a problem, let him do it a hundred times and he will keep getting the same result, once the result is out, he will know just what kind of clown Pedro is,”Gianni answered. She always sounded so sure about the whole DNA thing; it was as if he was the only one always worried about it. “You sound so sure, I am telling you that he used a different doctor and that man doesn’t look like he can even be bought over, when I asked for his contact, he brutally refused; stating that he had no business with me, that was harsh and then he just left like that,”Nathan explained, remembering how the doctor had looked at him as if he was some kind of sinner. “Why don’t you believe me when I tell you that there is nothing to worry about, everything is taken care of already and nothing will change, you are his son and that’s finally,”Gianni told him confidently. “I wish I could have your kind of confidence, Gia but I can’t, I have
Over the next two weeks, Nathan was on edge, he expected the result of the DNA to be out anytime and he knew once that happened, his secret would be out and Sebastian would know he was a fraud, he could already picture the outburst and everything, every day, he woke up thinking that it would happen but nothing happened. As Nathan didn’t want to lose out once the results were released, he made the purchase of the building he wanted under his mother’s name and also paid a huge sum that would cover the renovation and every other thing else, he didn’t like slashing money in a spare account but he had to, just in case the old man seize everything that he gave him once the result are out. Even though Gianni told him not to worry, he was still a hell of worried that he might not be able to show his face in public for a while once the results were in, and at a point, he was scared that Sebastian might even send him to jail, he spent a good amount of time during the two weeks of waiting just
“What the fuck did you just say to me?”He barked out, charging out of his seat. “The same thing you said to me but the reverse because I have a father who has money, meanwhile, I can’t say the same for you, boy,”He repeated. The guy was foaming and was clearly looking for a fight which Nathan wasn’t ready to give him. “I dare you to say that again in my face, I dare you,”The fucker yelled. Nathan stepped away from him, ignoring his outburst. “Rather than trying to pick a fight with me, you should take what I said to heart and work hard, so your kids can at least enjoy some privilege,”Nathan said as parting words and exited the place before things got out of hand. He wasn’t about to fight someone in the company. That would not be good for his image. Once he got back from lunch, his superior called him and Mark to his office because someone had snitched about them almost fighting to him and he queried them. Nathan didn’t feel the least bit apological even when Mark made it seem a
Nathan had to call a cab and leave his car at the mansion because he felt too light-headed to be able to drive, he brought out his phone and dialed Gia’s number, he willed himself to calm down as he waited for her to pick up. “Nathan? What’s up?”She asked in a cheery voice which would have been okay if he hadn’t just heard the biggest news from Sebastian, something that Gianni must have known and kept away from him, that would be the reason why she had not been worried that the DNA might not be positive. She knew all along that Sebastian was his real father and kept it away from him. Even thinking about it didn’t make it sound right to his ears because if Sebastian was his real father, not only Gia but his parents lied to him. Everyone did and he didn’t want that to be the truth, he wanted Gianni to tell him that she helped with the outcome of the result. That would make his day better, it would be better to be a fraud at this point than to find out his whole life was a lie, his han
“So, you knew all along but you chose not to tell me, you kept me in the dark and lied to my face? How could you Gianni? I fucking trusted you, I told you everything, everything, I have not been hiding anything from you but you hid the biggest truth away from me, tell me why you did it? Why? Were scared that if I found out that Seb is my real father, I would ask for more and take from your inheritance?”Nathan yelled at her. She looked hurt by his words but right now, he didn’t care, he was hurt too, she betrayed his trust, and he had every reason to be mad at her and every reason to think that was her motive for not telling him anything. “Wow, you really think I am that kind of person too? What do you both even take me for? Some kind of gold-digger? What? I was scared for inheritance? I fucking divorced your dad and I never lied to you, yes, I didn’t tell you that Seb was your real father and I have my reasons for that and it was all for you, I never once thought about me,”She fire
