“Wait, who draft this contract? Do you have a legal team or you made this yourself?” He asked even though he already figured out what her answer will be. “My dad is a lawyer and he helped us, but Gianni wrote the contract herself,”Johan informed. Looking at him now, Nathan realized he looked pretty young, maybe around his age or younger but he didn’t want to ask about his age because it had nothing to do with what was going on, Nathan realized he had a lot more to do, these three were not even ready for what they set out to do and if they are going to win and keep the vultures from taking from Sebastian, he had to take the lead, and that’s if they let him. “Okay, I think we need to start over because this won’t do, let’s say you have successfully found me, Sebastian long lost son, now what do you think will happen? Do you think Sebastian and his relative will just accept me just because you say I am related to him?” Nathan asked, looking at the three of them, oh these people were
Nathan sat on his own after the doctors came to check on him. He did a lot of research about the alleged son of Ulmer and yes, he did fit everything, if he didn’t know his dad, he would have even believed he was Ulmer’s son, the alleged son was born in the same year as him and was more of a one-night stand result, Nathan knew he couldn’t be the real son because his mom had been married to his dad when he was born, they were two years into their marriage when they had him. He closed his phone and got out of bed after about thirty minutes and decided to go see his sisters as they may already be wondering where he was. “The things money can do,”He thought out loud while walking down the hallway that lead to where Nelly was kept, he looked around, this looked more like a hotel than a hospital, he knew this was a VIP area but still, he would never have considered using a hospital like this ever, not when they didn’t have insurance, surely, he would never have been able to pay the fees eve
“Why will I do that? You guys are my family,”“I know, but your life would have been easier if you had just let us go into foster care,”“Don’t ever say that Nora, I won’t ever send you guys to foster care, now it is not even needed anymore, but even if I still have to work my ass off to take care of you guys, I still would not have let you guys be taken away from me,”Nathan told her. “Sure, but where is Annie? I haven’t seen her around. shouldn’t she be here seeing that you are hospitalized? I mean that’s what girlfriends do right?” She asked. Nathan had not even thought of Annie since yesterday, he didn’t need to. “We broke up Nora, she is not what she claimed she is,” Nathan informed not wanting to go into details about what the said woman did to him, hopefully, he never sets his eyes on her again, he knew she would regret it if she knew just how much wealth he is about to get control over, he hasn’t even started yet and he already has so much to his name, she will definitely
Nathan parked the car he rode at the entrance of the house he used to live in, he got out and looked around his old neighborhood, this place held so many bad memories for him and it screamed poverty. How he and his sisters were able to survive in this place was beyond him. He smiled when he remembered he won’t have to live here or even need to come back here if he doesn’t want to which brought him back to the actual reason he was here in the first place, Trent, that fucker made his life hell and he would make him pay but first, he needed to pay up what he owed him and he was feeling generous so he may as well pay off the debt of his former neighbors, it would be his parting gift to them. He locked the car and walked into the apartment gate, as expected Trent was there and all his former neighbors were outside too, Trent was threatening them, Nathan look to the side of the gate where he had kept the properties he will no longer be using, looking at them now, they looked like a heap of
“Are you playing with me right now or have you finally lost your mind? Which one is it?” Trent asked, throwing the cigarette he held at him, Nathan looked at it and stepped on it, looking up at Trent. “It is you that has lost your mind, just calculate everything that we all owe you and stop wasting my time,” Nathan responded. “And if I do that, how will it convert to money, I am sensing you want to be beaten so bad, you are asking for it, this is how you whore of a mother behaved until she met her miserable end.”Trent said. Nathan felt his temper rise at the mention of his mom, he hated Trent so much for reminding him what they had done to her. He had to remind himself severally that he was not here to fight, that he had better things to do than fight with Trent. It took a while but he finally composed himself enough to look at Trent. “I will make you pay for what happened to my mom, you, and everyone involved, but it is not today,”He said Trent who started laughing, the other
“I am guessing by that look that you have seen it, in that case, you let these people be, don’t ever bother them or I will come for you, either way, I am coming for you,”Nathan said and turned to his former neighbors who were all staring at him in shock, no one expected him to be able to pay and he wasn’t surprised by their reaction. “I paid off all your debts so you can work hard not to be indebted to bastards like this, I hope you all have a great life,”Nathan said before turning to the landlord. “I will pay back what I owe you, just send your bank details to me, also, I will have people come to take those stuffs, but if there is anyone who needs them among you all, then you can have it,” He informed pointing at his old properties. “Did you win a lottery or something?”The landlord asked already typing what Nathan assumed was his bank details, and yes, the text came in a second later, Nathan sent him the money he owed him and wave his phone at him. “Yes, I won the lottery and
“You finally came, you said forty minutes, it has been more than one hour,”Gianni scolded when he entered the living room. “Sorry, it took a longer time than I predicted, sorry for keeping you waiting,” He apologized and took his seat. “It is fine,”She responded. He noticed she looked sad and was almost in tears. “What happened Gia?” He asked sitting opposite her, she smiled. “You are the only person that has called me that since I got here, only my family calls me Gia,” “For real? Your family doesn’t live here? I thought Johan is your cousin?’ He asked confused. “Yup, he is but he calls me Gianni or Anni,” She informed. Anni sounded about right but it reminded him of a certain someone he would rather not remember so Gia it is. “What about your other family?”he asked even though he knew he should just ask why she wanted to see him, there was actually no need of knowing who her family is. “They all live in Italy, in fact, until Johan came down to Sydney after graduating
Nathan woke up early the next morning and took a warm bath, after which he got ready, it was the first time he was wearing a suit in a long time, the last time he had worn a suit was five years ago during a college seminar, he stared at his reflection in the mirror and was satisfied with how he looked, he ditched his usual rough edge bangs for a slick do so that his hair was out of his face, it was foreign seeing his forehead without the bangs after a long time. He looked more mature and just like a real businessman, he was ready to face a group of greedy men whose only interest is to line their already full pockets, he had his mind mainly on Pedro, that man has done enough and should be stopped, he hated that even with everything he has done, he keeps getting richer, and if he let him win again, that would just be adding more “Not this time, he will not get it this time,”He said and smirked at his expression in the mirror. After he finished dressing up, he went down for breakfast a
“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
