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
Gianni bit hard on her nails as she waited for the person on the other end of the phone to pick up, she was pissed and at the same time sad that Nathan could think so little of her after everything she did for him, after everything she was still trying to do for him. He didn’t even have a little faith in her because if he did, he would have given her the benefit of the doubt when she had told him she had her reason for not telling him that Seb was his real father. he had a lot to learn and not knowing his true identity would make him more eager to work harder, not like she didn’t believe he could work hard while knowing Seb is really his father. She had every intention of telling him but she wanted to make sure it was the right time but that never came, now he doesn’t want to talk to her. “Pick up, come on,Gianni let out. she needed to calm down, there was no point in getting all worked up because of what happened because that wouldn’t change a thing. “Hello? Alex? Why haven’t you
If only Gianni had told him. If only she hadn’t lied to him. If only his mom had told him. Nathan gave up thinking and finally walked into his house some minutes after ten pm. He did his best not to make any noise as he walked upstairs to his room. He didn’t want to wake his sisters up. once in his room. He took a bath and laid on his bed with his arms over his forehead. He didn’t have too much to drink and his long walk home could have made the alcohol go out of his system but he felt like he was drunk. Drunk but not drunk enough that he could forget what had happened earlier. There was no way to erase everything that happened from his mind when everything directly affected his past and everything he knew. Not just his past. His future too. “Nathan? Are you okay?”Noa asked, walking into his room, he sat up on his bed. He might have not been as quiet as he had wanted if he had been able to wake Nora up. He didn’t want to worry her with his problem. “Nora, did I wake you up? I am so
“What are you talking about, Nora? How would you know that?”He questioned. “Mom kind of spoke about it, she didn’t talk at length but she told me you had a different mom, I didn’t think too much about it then but when the news of you being Ulmer’s son broke, I finally understood,”Nora knew? That was all Nathan could think about, Nora his younger sister knew that the parents he thought birthed him weren’t his real but he was the only one who didn’t know. He was the only one too dumb to know. “Why didn’t you tell me, Nora? I thought we told each other everything, I thought we were siblings who get along?”Nathan let out. He couldn’t be mad at her because she was young, it wasn’t her fault but he had no one else to be mad at. “Mom told me not to say anything to you, she made me promise not to ever speak about it, she said it only once when she was out of it, it was the anniversary of her sister’s death and she was mourning, I didn’t want to put her in a position where she would have
Nathan left the house for the first time, three days after he found out Sebastian was his real father, ready to put everything that happened behind him and focus on the future. Finding out made him even more determined to be worthy of everything he would get from Sebastian. He still had no intention of calling Gianni or even meeting her because she broke his trust and he was allowed to be mad at her. She didn’t call him again after the first day. Maybe she finally accepted that he wasn’t ready to speak to her. Sebastian on the other hand continued calling him nonstop. The past three days were spent doing absolutely nothing. He didn’t take Sebastian’s call but he sent him a text that he would see him when he was ready. After that, the old man didn’t call him again. The only other person he spoke with aside from his sisters for the three days was his contractor who was handling the hotel matters. They were making a lot of progress that Nathan was proud of. By their pace, the hotel will
