Underrated Son-In-Law Chapter 39: Confession.
Natalia's POV I know it would be hard to get myself out of this situation but it was best I try because if I keep quiet my Dad would actually send me to my grandparents. I know he has been trying to get rid of me for a while and this was his chance now. "What nonsense are you saying ?" Dad asked. "I am sorry,I didn't mean to deceive you." I apologized again. "Let your words be clear when you speak Natalia, stop beating around the bush." Dad told me. "Thomas is the one that has been telling me the companies to invest in, he acted like my financial advisor." I dropped the bomb and a deadly silence followed. I had no other way to gain forgiveness than to tell the truth and hope it would mend things. I just want to get this over with. "I tried making you let him stay but you refused." I added. "Natalie I am not quite sure I understand what you are saying." Dad said. "What do you mean by Thomas is the stock broker?" Dad questioned. "Well, you should know from the start that I am

Dad said in a calm tone."Now I won't expect anything from you, Thomas child is still here he will return."

Thomas PovSitting on my desk in front of my laptop,the tapping sound of the laptop keyboard was the only sound that filled my room.I looked over what I had written down on a notebook beside my laptop and the words on the screen of the laptop and I nodded in approval.It was correct.I didn't need to make any mistakes as I don't use the laptop I used to work from home to go out even to my office. It has a lot of information I don't want to get out and I don't know why I can't get myself to trust anyone completely after what Natalia did to me.I took my pen and wrote a contact down on my notebook.I need to call this number later and get the information I need.Beep!Beep!The alarm on my desk beside my laptop went off and I taped on top of it and it turned off.It was 5 am already.I sighed deeply as I turned my neck round in a circular motion to loosen its stiffness, I rubbed the back of my neck and sighed.I have been doing research since 3 am.

Thomas Pov A small frown formed on my face at his words."You want me to invest in your company?" I asked curiously."No, I want you to return back to my company." He corrected me and I scoffed."You want me to leave my own company and return to your company or you want us to work together?" I questioned since I wanted to be sure I heard him right."I want you to return to my own company." He confirmed what he said and I could only stare at him in disbelief that such ridiculous words left his mouth." If both our company's merge together and have the name of my company ,it will be better that way, don't you think so?" Gabriel asked and I scoffed and couldn't help the laugh that broke out from my mouth.I slapped my hand on the armrest of the couch as I laughed, I tried to stop laughing but one glance at his face that looked serious made me burst out laughing again.He must be joking.He has to be.I don't know how senseless people can be him asking me to give up my own company and go

Natalia's POVI thought I was a step closer to getting Thomas back home but when I got to Thomas's office and saw Dad there I felt the blood drain from my face.I knew that dad said he wanted to meet Thomas as soon as possible but I didn't think he would come the next day.He never said anything to me about coming here today.I thought that I could come here today so I could buy myself a little time to figure things out and apologize to Thomas but all my plans went down the drain.Dad slapped me across the face immediately he saw me and I was shocked.Thomas' security refused to let me see him even though I had an appointment with him and Dad dragged me out of Thomas's company building.I was still in shock from seeing Dad here and I was pleading for him to let me go.Dad didn't care about any explanation I wanted to give as I was practically dragged into his car and the driver drove us back home as Dad continued berating me in the car and calling me an ungrateful child for humiliatin

I was not aware of Natalia's deceitful lies." Mr. Gabriel said feigning innocence.Even though he wasn't aware of Natalia's he insulted me every chance he got."Have you forgotten what I told you when I left your house?"

A YEAR LATER Thomas's POV I was in my office looking over some files when I stopped to suddenly stare at the picture frame of Grace and I on my desk. She told me to keep it in my office so she could brighten my day anytime I felt weak. Remembering her words made a smile form on my lips. I was glad I met Grace and I was even more glad to have her as my girlfriend. She did more for me than I asked of her and she never expected me to do anything in return, that was how she showed me she loved me. Even if meeting Natalia made me go through hardships at least I met Grace and I would never want to change the past if it meant not meeting Grace again, that was how much she meant to me. Life takes drastic turns now and then all we need to do is brace up for the impact. That's what I did and I was glad I have gotten to this point where I feel confident and loved. I finally got the company back to its former glory and I told Mr Gabriel and Logan that this was what they couldn't do. Mr

Grace said with a sweet smile and for the first time her smile sent shivers down my spine.Grace never fakes a smile but this time I don't understand why this smile made me uncomfortable."Grace, what are you doing here?" I asked in confusion.I was only planning on seeing Thomas here and I wanted to talk to him,there was no way he would see me in this bad state and not help me."I thought you were going to do your job immediately when you came here, I didn't think you would be

She asked when her eyes landed on me."Jane, behave yourself,it's Grace's boyfriend." Her mother scolded her.I don't actually see anything wrong with what she asked, since she saw a strange man in their living room.Her eyes immediately lit up as she smiled and ran up to."Brother Thomas?" She asked curiously as she sat beside me on the couch."Yes." I smiled and she giggled."What took you so long to come to our house? I have wanted to meet you for a long time." She pouted."You wanted to see him for a long time, did you get to know him first?" Grace's Mom asked Jane who giggled."It's a secret." Jane said as she winked at her mother."Brother Thoma
