The Billionaires Desires novel Chapter 2

You think you are brave and smart, Nathan, but you are nothing, I mean nothing. Just because you managed to escape this time, it doesn’t mean that you will be lucky enough to escape him the next time he attacks you. You stupid, stupid boy. I had great hopes for you, I had so much confidence in your abilities. And what did you do? You let yourself to be fooled by your cousin, you let that idiot to outsmart you. Now you come back here to threaten me about secrets that you know nothing about. You disappoint me, Nathan, You disappoint me.” He let out mockingly, making me fold my knuckles tightly as the anger threatened to overcome me. I can’t believe that he would mock me with something like this, how on earth could he be so evil. It feels like I’ve never really known him, I could have sworn that my grandfather could never hurt a fly, he always acted so strictly and disciplined. He always spoke about having good morals, always encouraging us to uphold our family values. Who would have thought that he would turn out to be a hypocrite, who would have thought that he would be the one to bring shame and disgrace upon our family and destroy our bond. The worst part of it all is that he feels no remorse for what he has done, he still acts all high and mighty, looking unfazed. But all that is going to change right now because I am about to break all his toughness, I’ll make him regret all his evil deeds today.

“Well, you are right about one thing Gramps. I know nothing about your secrets, which is why I invited some special friends of yours to this meeting. I believe that they know all about your secrets.” I told him sarcastically, gracing my face with a smirk when I saw the thoughtful look on his face. It’s obvious that he is trying to figure out what I’m talking about, wondering who I had invited for our meeting. I won’t ruin the surprise by telling him who I had invited, I’ll rather sit here and watch. I want to see the reaction on his face when he realizes that I’m about to ruin him completely, I want to know the exact moment when he realizes that he is completely ruined. I nodded at Raymond, signaling him to bring in our guests. He had been standing by the corner all this while, letting me do all the talking. He smiled softly before turning to open the door behind him. As soon as he opened the door, the elders filed into the room one after the other, going to take their positions at the other end of the room. I can see that they weren’t happy to be here, my boys had practically forced them to come here and I’m glad that they obliged, I wouldn’t want to be forced to hurt someone today. My grandfather looks unbothered by their appearance, he knows that he has them wrapped around his finger, and they would never speak up against him, let alone force him to admit to his mistakes. I pinned my gaze on him, waiting for the shock to hit him hard. 

I knew the exact moment when it hit him, I watched as the color left his face simultaneously, he looked as whites a ghost when his eyes landed on his childhood friends that he had betrayed many years ago. I had personally gone to visit uncle Conor and Auntie Elsa in their huge mansion that looks like a castle. I went with my guards and a lawyer, I don’t want any surprises, I can’t let them ruin this mission before it even begins, that is why I went with a lawyer. We signed an agreement before I started speaking, I wanted this meeting to be confidential and I wanted them to let me handle this case in my own way. They signed the agreement when I promise to help them find their daughter. After signing the agreement, I then told them the truth about their granddaughter's disappearance. I told them why my grandfather had done it and I told them how he tried to help them get her back but it was too late because the girl was nowhere to be found. The agreement was that they would keep it hidden until I find their grandchild. I know it’s hard to ask, but he is still my grandfather, I can’t let him get arrested for kidnapping. When I told them how my cousin Travis is blackmailing my grandfather with the truth and how they both tried to get rid of me, Elsa had insisted that she would come with me when I talk to Gramps about it. I had wanted to refuse her request, but I thought it would be much better if I give my grandfather a taste of his own medicine, and let him see go betrayal hurts. 

“What is happening here, what have you done Nathan, what have you done?” Gramps yelled at me, but I wasn’t listening to him anymore, I was simply enjoying the show. Elsa walked forward to where my grandfather stood looking like a ghost and she landed a resounding slap on his cheek, hitting him so hard that his face turned the other way.

“How could you hurt me this way, how could you?” she yelled at him as tears flowed down her cheeks. He knew there was no need to deny it anymore, now he knows that I know the secret he is hiding. He sobbed softly as he fell down to the floor, sobbing his heart out, regretting his mistakes and apologizing for them. At this point, the other elders in our family became curious, so I spilled everything to them as well. They looked so furious as they found out that he had tried to kill me just to hide this secret. They were so damn disappointed, I know he has lost his respect in the family and he has lost his title as head of the family. This time, I wasn’t waiting for him to hand it over to me, no. This time I’m taking it forcefully because it belongs to me, it is mine. All that is left is to learn the secrets of our family and get the blessing of the elders and learn everything they have to teach me. When I’m done with this training, I’m heading straight back to New York City to reclaim everything that was taken from me, and also to find my wife.
