The Billionaires Desires novel Chapter 92

Still Nathans POV

“I knew you would come back to your senses Nate, I guess you now know that you would never be able to get rid of me easily. You are mine Nathan, nothing is going to change that fact, the earlier you come to terms with that, the better it would be for everyone. I’ll suggest you start by apologizing to me for cheating on me with that bitch, then you can get me out of here so we could begin preparing for our wedding. You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting for this day, our wedding is going so huge, it’s going to be the talk of the town for the next few months, I have it all figured out, I’m going to personally send out the invites, I want everyone with a strong background to be there, it will be aired on national TV the press would be there, everyone will be there, it’s going to be so perfect, I want to be the…”

“You will never marry my son, you hateful woman.” My mom let out angrily, interrupting her endless blabbering. Gosh, she is so damn stupid. She had smiled triumphantly when my mom and I walked in through that door. She was kept in the interrogation room because she insists on being innocent of every accusation that I made. She had called in a bunch of guys in suits that she claimed were her lawyers, They sat across the table from her, but when we got in, they stood up and went around the table, standing beside her while my mom and I occupied the seats they were previously sitting on.  I was called in by the arresting officer, he claimed that her lawyers were filing for bail and the judge would be willing to grant her bail because I haven’t testified yet. 

They have all the evidence already, but it is not enough, they need me to come in and testify against her in person. I told him to stall the bail process because I’ll be there in a few hours, I just need to handle a few things at home first. I already had it in mind to go down there and pay her a visit, I guess this is a good time to go down there and rub it in her face. Yeah, I know. You think I’m being petty right?

Well, it wouldn’t be much fun if I don’t rub it in, would it? 

It’s not really necessary but I’ll do it anyway. You can sue me if you want to, but trust me, I’m going over there and I’ll show that bitch that there is no need to fight the inevitable. First, I went up to meet my father, I can understand how he would be feeling right now, I can’t even begin to imagine how he would have felt all those years ago. It would have been so difficult for him to look into my mom's eyes every day, knowing full well that she had been the one to order the hit on his family. I wonder why he had listened to his other wife when she told him not to leave mom, he must love her so much for him to pass through all this heartache and continue living in this house with mom, watching her every day as she went about her daily activities, pretending like it never happened. I never wish to be in his shoes, I never want to live a life full of lies and deceits. 

“How are you holding up dad?” I asked him when I entered his room. He is standing by the window, looking out the window. I’ve never seen him this broken in my entire life, he has always been so strong, so tough. Who would have thought that he would be brought down to his knees by women? It’s just so hilarious.

“I’m fine son, it’s not me you should be worried about, I’ve known about this for years, I’ve learned to live with it, I’m just so glad that the truth is finally out in the open. Now I won’t be forced to live with her anymore. That is by the way son, I know how hard it must be for you two to find out that your mom is capable of Arson and Murder. How are you guys holding up?” he asked me.?

“I'll survive dad and I’m sure Caitlyn would be fine, she is with mom downstairs and she looks okay, I’m sure she would be fine, I mean, she is not a kid anymore, right.”

“Right, you are so right. You know I always seem to forget that you guys are no longer kids. I always tend to confuse you two with my other kids.” He let out with a warm smile. I guess he feels relieved now that he is able to talk about them in the open. 

Come on son, don’t get me wrong here. Of course, I’m super excited to have you back, we all missed you so much. But I just want you to get your priorities right, Nate. You have to understand that things are not the way it was before you left, everything has changed. While it is true that you have a family and a home to return to, there is no company for you to return to son, it’s all gone. Your cousin Travis was not able to manage the company, just like I’ve always known. He has sold off everything the family owns, even the company is up for sale. I’ll suggest you dig into one of your trust funds and get take out some money and start up a business.” He told me firmly, making it sound like a suggestion when his tone of voice shows that he is not leaving any room for argument from my side. He is making a decision for me, just like he has always done before I went missing. I guess he forgot that I never take it too well whenever he tries bossing me around. I guess it’s time he realizes that I’m not the Nathan I used to be.

“If you had always known that he would be able to run the company, then why did you let him run it, why didn’t you try to do anything to salvage the situation. That is not even my concern right now, but ill advise you to back off. It is my decision to make dad. I can choose to fight the company or I can let Travis do whatever he wants with it. But that is entirely my decision to make and I have it all figured out. Why don’t you keep your nose off my business, you don’t want me to see you as an enemy, do you?” I asked him with a smirk, looking him deep in his eyes. He looks a bit nervous, or maybe I’m becoming too paranoid to think straight.

“Of course not, son.  Why would you even say that? I’m only trying to help, I don’t want you to get your hopes too high.” He told me, smiling softly to hide his nervousness.

“Well, since you are so eager to help, why don’t you call your other wife and tell her to meet us at the station.” I retorted.
