The Return Of The Secret Billionaire Chapter 40.
Earlier that day, before the gala… Nathan was lost in thoughts. He'd just had the same nightmare he always has, about him and his family going out, then an accident occurring.He woke up startled again, but he decided to be strong about it. He breathed out a heavy sigh. One day, he would finally be able to uncover memories of his parents. Someday, and he prayed it would be soon.But at that moment, he needed a plan to defeat Manuel. And fast.Isabella was the next on his list. He tried for a special way to meet the important highly dignified woman. Tori came in, knocking first before turning the knob to open the door. He was used to it anyway."You look like crap!" The woman yelled out, then took her seat."Thanks." Nathan forced a smile. The environment was bright, the ray of light brilliant and filling the entire room. He wished he could think clearly."So, what's your plan?"He knew she would ask that question sooner or later. He'd hoped later, but sadly, Tori was also the inquisit

Present Day... At The GalaManuel could never have expected such a downfall to occur to him. Nathan was up there receiving awards and praises and he had even managed to trick him into bringing all of his important guests. Silly bastard Tori! She tricked him good! Now for sure, the CEO would be quite popular all around town, and that could only mean one thing... Nathan Anakin's connections will grow.He couldn't speak, laugh nor cry. The betrayed man was numb.Minutes later, he couldn't take it anymore, so he turned towards the entrance and wished he could disappear just by staring at the mighty doors. And since he couldn't, he walked.Oh he walked so fast that one might even say he had been running.That was when Nathan sighted him. Before he began his other plan, he had to see Manuel first.His other plan being that he would make friends with all of the important people at that Gala. He wouldn't even need to try hard because friends would locate him!Instantly, he called out. "Mr Ma

Friday morning came with the chills. It wasn't like Nathan wasn't used to it anyways. December weather always came in cold but then soothing in some kind of way.He had just woken up from his nightmares again. This time, it was what happened after the car accident. Him, his family had all survived; his dad, mom and someone else. Who was that someone else? Fernando never mentioned whether he had any siblings!Oh it was a confusing nightmare of a dream for him.Doris entered, opening up the curtains. "Rise and shine love," the woman said cheerily. Nathan groaned at the harsh light that almost blinded his eyes. "How are you up so early?" He asked, and Doris only smiled. The time was just quarter past five! He could still sleep an hour more. "We need to talk. Here," she said, handling him a cup of Joe. At least Nathan was glad for that. He sat up. "Thanks," he muttered, inhaling the fresh breath of black unsweetened coffee. "What about?" Doris sat beside him on the bed. "I have been m

Daniel Santino frowned, watching as Manuel spoke so confidently. "Which is why I want you to support me. The donation I made was only a token," Manuel said proudly. Daniel was one of the few important members of the board members, and if he were to side with his arch nemesis Nathan Anakin, then that was the end for him! "Fourteen years being among the board members, and ten years being a staff member of TMN insurance firm, I respect you good man." Daniel rolled his eyes in disbelief. He hated his presence with the old man. He disliked Manuel but if there was anything he detested more than the old man, it was his hatred for politics. He didn't belong to any party because he believed in the idea of being a lone wolf. They were at a coffee shop where Daniel took his early morning cup of Joe, and it was only because Manuel had known of his schedule. He would soon be changing his place of relaxation. That particular spot wasn't a safe place anymore. "Can you hear me, Mr Santino?" Mr?

Evelyn Castiel had been prepared that day. Everything Pedro had told her made sense now. Standing face to face with almighty Manuel Alonzo had been exactly everything she had expected to find in the old man.Well, Manuel wasn't that old. He stared angrily at his plate of meal as if it had somehow offended him just by existing, and soon Evelyn began to fear that his gruesome stares would shatter the piece of glass into pieces.He was on a fine attire and although his hair was starting to bald at the tip, he was still much handsome than his brother, Pedro. No wonder Pedro always felt intimidated by the man."So, are you eating?" She didn't really know what to ask so she said that instead. "Your meal, you haven't touched it at all.""Thank you." The man muttered, his eyes not leaving the meal in front of him.This creepy habit soon made Evelyn fluster with anger. She had dressed really nice and sexy! With that red dress that revealed hourglass curves and fair skin that would make any man

The day went on much faster, free from stress. Isabella's party had helped him gain so much fame and recognition, and he was too happy to even be busy. Tori on the other hand, had complained that there had been too much work here and there. She said that his fame had brought more clients who trusted the firm for their good work. It was good news for them, still, it had been a tedious day. They were still discussing when there was a knock on the door. Tori rose up to check who it was. Standing before her was no other than Trevor Davis. He wore a dark color suit and brown shoes, and his hair had been neatly gelled as if he'd been going on an occasion. Though Tori couldn't tell whether that was the way Trevor normally dressed or not. She never really put much consideration into him and had been quite surprised when Fernando had included his name into the confidential list. "Mr Trevor," she said, half smiling. He didn't return the smile. What a pervert! "How may I help you--" "The last

Doris saw the message, a fake apologetic text from one of her cousins, Talia, and she wondered what in the entire world would have made her leave such a message. -Dear sister, I am sorry for the crash of your marriage. I hope you find a better husband.-What! How dare her! Talia Imadel was a little sister to Doris! And she dared open her filthy mouth to spew such nonsense? It wasn't her fault at all. When they were still wealthy, she never even dared speak to her like that. She had been feeding Talia's entire household when their family hadn't suddenly gone bankrupt. Doris decided to keep her cool. It wasn't until she saw the second message that she began to fume with rage. -Check the family group messages.-Immediately, she switched apps and went straight to see for herself the nonsense her cousins and uncles and aunties might have been spewing. Soon enough, there were at least a hundred messages of hurtful words being said to her and her husband. How dare these people speak to

Nathan arrived home that night, tired and slightly angry. How dare Thomas open his mouth and spew such nonsense? Doris was already waiting for him. "What's the matter?" The woman jumped up and rushed forward to meet her husband the instant he stepped in. "Are you okay?" Nathan managed a smile, kissed his wife on her forehead and then made his way over to the couch. She followed too, taking his bags off his shoulders. "Nathan?" He knew he would have to tell her. He'd hidden enough from her already. "It's your father." He said at last, and Doris listened quietly. "He asked that the dare changed. That you shouldn't become the family's CEO again," Her brows ceased. "But it won't be me again, it'll be our unborn child." She said, "He doesn't want that either." Nathan explained. "He wants to be the family's CEO, you see." Doris wasn't surprised. Her father was partially a greedy man, but it was always for a cause. "Perhaps he has his reason?" Nathan couldn't believe his ears. "His re

He glanced at his watch and frowned. He was late. He picked up the pace, almost running in an attempt to beat time. He had promised his lady that he would be on time and now he was running late.He finally got to the main road and took his place at the bus stop. After waiting for almost two minutes– two extra wasted minutes of his time– a taxi arrived and after a brief negotiation, they were on their way.His phone rang out from his coat pocket and he already knew who would be calling. "I know, I know, this isn't what I planned either. I'm sorry.""You were supposed to be here ten minutes ago!" She complained over the phone."I am really, truly sorry honey. I'll be there in three minutes… five minutes top.""Get here in two minutes!""I'm in a taxi, I'll be there soon." After he hung up, he noticed the cab driver staring at him through the mirror. "Wife's troubles huh?""Yeah.""I can relate. My Mrs is always stressing me out. But there's nothing we can do about it.""Yeah." He repl

"Yes?""I am detective Sam Rogers, and with me is my partner.""James West." They introduced themselves and showed him their badges."How may I help you fine officers?""Mr Thomas Castiel, you are under arrest for the crime of murder on Mr Anakin's late parents.""Are you serious? You are arresting me?""Yes sir. Please sir, I would advise you to come with us quietly to avoid any embarrassment.""Officers, what is going on here?" Evelyn questioned as she walked in.""Nothing ma'am, we would just like to invite your husband for questioning at the station.""Station? Please, what is going on here?""Calm down ma'am, you'll know his offense when he gets to the station.""Do you have any idea what of you're doing? You had the audacity, you had the guts to come into my house….and arrest me?""I'm afraid so. I would also advise you to limit your words sir, because anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law.""Court of law, what the hell are you talking about?""Ju

Frost grew over the windows even as the duvet kept her warm. Isla watched the ice-crystals grow for a while, allowing her brain to be empty, content to exist and be. The morning would bring the beauty of the ice for sure, that crunch under boot and the bold greeting cold air brings. Yet between now and watching her breaths rise as new white-puffed clouds there will be a very cold night. The kind that only stops at the doors of the well-made houses. The cold weather that seeped through any thin cloth to drain the soul, instead feeds the soul of those well wrapped in warm layers of well insulated fabrics.It was the same type of coldness that reached into one's bones, as if their heart were a door left wide open to the icy wind, slamming only to open again. The only thing to do would be to keep moving, keep heading toward home and the steady warmth of the hearth. There was a lot on her mind that night. And she even tried her best to get Nathan off her mind. She wouldn't just stop thinki

Evelyn met with Regina that day. Not for anything else besides their main discussion. She had purposely visited Regina and had the meeting scheduled at her house. She loved being a wedding guest. It's as if rockets have been lit beneath the soul. There is such love right out in the open. Everyone feels free to let their happy flags fly. Cynics are silent at last. Birdsong becomes the music of the quiet reflections. Souls are united. To have an invitation to such an event is a blessing indeed.She saw the woman from afar, shivering in fear. Fear of what though? Well perhaps it was because the head of the Queens was right at her house! She gave a satisfying grin at the moment and continued with her discussion. "Well, so you see why it is important for us to meet up?" She said, a satisfying smile working its way over to her cheeks. Her face had been plastered with bright heavy makeup. Again. Just on purpose. She ignored Regina's shivering and continued. "So we can discuss the wedding

Nathan is alone, thinking about his life when Doris enters. She tries to confront him, but he just wasn't buying. He was terrified of a whole lot of things. The emotion of our reunion sealed as a perfect photograph in my soul.He had felt so very angry. He'd felt so deeply bloody angry with the universe, with God. Yet that is so unfair. Everything he had struggled for is exactly what he asked to do. He had en route to achieve what he set out to achieve. The pain that was to come with it, the brutal brutal suffering of his soul was necessary. There was no other way to learn what he had learned. The anger is because he want to be with her. He want to be with you so much but he had to keep his own counsel, his own direction with only the influence of the divine ether that came to the artist. Artists would get that. They've felt what he felt. But there must come a time, a day, a moment when he would get to say he'd done what he set out to do. He really hoped so. Because that was when we g

Nathan opened the door for Tori to go in and she smiled at his portrayal of a gentleman."Thank you." "You're welcome."She walked in with a small bag in her hand."Here let me help you.""Oh no it's fine, I got it." She replied smiling."I don't like the idea of inconveniencing you in this way."Tori had insisted on following Nathan home after he dropped her at her place. She claims she couldn't leave him alone and let depression take over him."Mr Anakin, I'd like you to know that I have no secret agenda behind this, I just want to make sure you're okay by all times." Tori explained."Why are you saying that? I know you have no hidden agenda Tori.""Then let me be with you in such a crucial time sir… as a confidant." She said with so much sincerity in her tone.Nathan sighed, "as you wish."Now they were together in the apartment, Tori had insisted on preparing dinner but he plainly refused, he still had his mind on Doris and he wondered what kind of things the abductors would be

The door of the station pushed open and barging into the room was Evelyn with the other important women of Ettavile as her minions.Her heels made loud noises as she strolled confidently into the D.P.O's office."Ma'am you can't go in there." A police officer stopped her."My daughter has been kidnapped and I know who did it so move!" She yelled at him, pushing him away from the entrance.Inside the office was Nathan and Tori who had rushed back to the station after their conversation with Evelyn."I know who the culprit is! Which station is it?" Evelyn yelled at Nathan."Uhm, I can't seem to remember the name… the huh.. the one located just at the end of delmer street.""Be there by the time I get there.""Wait what?"Evelyn hung up the phone then faced her group members."We're going to the police station ladies.""What for?" One of the women asked."To report a little rat."Nathan jumped on his feet and picked up his jacket."What's going on?" Tori asked."We have to go back to the

They had no other option than to meet Doris and her husband. The gang stole Drew from us a piece at a time. Every week they pushed him slightly further until not only did he have no morals, he thought that way of thinking was a desirable freedom. His family, we who truly loved him, became his enemy. He looked at us like we were vile to him. Then one day I found him shaking in his bedroom, crying like the sun had been stolen from the sky, his hands slick with another's blood. That's the last time I ever saw the real Drew, in that moment of remorse. After that he sunk so low into his new m.o. that no-one got close unless they were bringing news of the next gang order.Nobody joins a gang without being a lost soul first. No-one goes to a monster for guidance unless it's their only option. Yet I can't underestimate this gang boy, however young he is. Until the head of any serpent is removed, you ignore the body at your peril. Given his youth he is perhaps more reachable than an older boy

Owen has nothing, he talks to his wife. He called his mother, they agree to beg Nathan and Doris. Incels, if women were robots then you could push their buttons and make them dispense sex in the way a coffee machine gives coffee. They aren't robots, or fem-iods, or foids, but people. Your hatred of women shows up in who you are, thus at an instinctive level, below the conscious brain, women will fear you. This fear is there to protect them from having sex with a man who does not love them. Women are people. Their "sex" is a form of bonding with the one they are in love with, male or female. People also tend to love a person who loves themselves, who is at ease with who they are. So maybe work on yourself? Build empathy instead of entitlement and hate? Personally, I only have sex with a guy when I love him. Not a robot.The "Incel" according to the Oxford Dick-tionary of "we know everything about you assholes who hide behind fake names and avatars," is short for "Incompetent Celibates
