Chapter 59 You Are A Father
Still Nathan’s POV
“First, you tried to steal my company and now I catch you trying to screw my wife. Mehn, you must really have a death wish Lawrence. Give me one reason why I should let you live, tell me why I shouldn’t put a bullet through your fucking skull, right now.” I asked him fiercely, pointing my gun to his head.
“Y… Y… Wife?” He stammered out in confusion, looking like a lost little puppy.
“I said to convince me not to put a hole in your fucking head, but all you come up with that stupid question?” I yelled in anger as I aimed at his shoulder and took a clean shot at him. I did not aim to kill him, I just want to see him in pain as he bleeds in front of me. He screams in pain as he applied pressure to his shoulder, trying to stop his bleeding.
“You son of a bitch!” he cursed in pain as he pulled on the tablecloth and uses it to press on his shoulder.
“I didn’t do anything, Mr. Trent. Your father made me buy those shares, I have no interest in your fucking company, I never did. Please take your documents and just get the hell out of my house, I don’t have any issues with you.” He let out in a pained voice, brushing off the topic of Hillary. That fucking pissed me off even more. I punched him hard in the face, tackling him to the ground as I kept punching him repeatedly.
“Do I look like I care about some fucking shares?
You screened my woman, you fucking screwed my wife and you stand there and talk to me about some damn shares. Those shares are mine, I don’t fucking need your permission to get them back and you had no right to put your filthy hands on my wife, you have no fucking right. Now I know why you have been running and hiding away from me, it was never about the company or the shares, was it, you just didn’t want me to find out that you have been fucking my wife.” I yelled in his face, kicking him hard in the stomach, making him groan in pain as he rolls on the floor, coughing out blood.
“That’s not true, I never ran. I only moved away when you burnt down my fucking house. Look man, I’m sorry man, I really am. I had no idea that she is married, I didn’t know, I swear. I didn’t even touch her, I promise, I didn’t do it.” He pleads.
“Don’t you fucking lie to me, I just saw you two sucking lips like some bunch of horny teenagers. Lying would only escalate your situation, trust me, you don’t want to get me more pissed.” I warned him sternly.
“My fucking life is at stake here, why the hell should I lie to you?
Yes, I made out with her a couple of times but we never went all the way, I never screwed your girlfriend or wife, whatever she is. You know we never did it, you have been the one sabotaging our relationship all this while. Why didn’t you just come clean and take her away from me, why go through so much trouble just to have her back. You burnt my house and my company, you fucking ruined my properties. I can’t believe that you would do all this for a woman, you could have just asked me to back off and I would.” He complained bitterly, trying to stand up from the floor. His words sound so comforting and annoying at the same time. I’m trying to convince myself that he is telling the truth, but I just can’t believe him. I know what I saw and I know that he would have screwed her right here on this table if I hadn’t shown up. The thought of that makes me want to punch him in the face over and over again. I know that if I stay here one more second, I will be forced to kill him, so I turned around and walked away before I kill an innocent man. I still don’t have all the facts, I still need to question Brian and find out if he knows anything about this. It is very obvious that Ray knows more than he is letting on and I intend to find out exactly what hat he knows right now.
“Get my document and meet me in the car.” I ordered Raymond before walking away. He knows that he has been caught, I can see the regret in his eyes. If not for the fact that we have been through a lot and we both share a history that can’t be easily forgotten, I would have killed him right now and damn all his explanations to hell. But I have to hear what he has to say, I have to give him the benefit of the doubt, at least I know that he deserves it. I left them all and walked to the door, but I stopped when I got to the door and I turned to Lawrence Delaney and I leveled him a strong gaze, making him shiver in fear,
“If I see you with ten miles from her again, I’ll kill you. That is not a threat, I’ll kill you.” I told him sternly, then I turned around and walked out the door, walking towards our cars that are now parked in front of the house. I guess the guys brought in the card after we subdued the guards. I could see that some of his guards are already awake, but they have been tied up pretty well and their weapons have been taken from them so they pose no danger to me or my boys. I ignored them all as I walked to my car, then I beckoned Brian to come with me to my car, it’s high time I get to the bottom of this issue.
“Out,” I ordered the driver that still sat in the car waiting for my instructions. He got down and stood by the door, waiting. Brian got into the car and sat right next to me, he knew what this was about already, he did not wait for me to ask him twice, he quickly handed me the files, shaking like a leaf beside me. I opened it immediately and read through his notes, confirming what I know already. Ray had been hiding the truth from me all these years. Hillary is here in Paris and she has been here for more than three years. She has a hotel in a very good spot and she lives in a large but quiet estate uptown, just like the estate where I built our house. I nearly went back in there to punch Lawrence again, he had been seeing my wife for the past eight months and he told me that he hasn’t slept with her. I could kill that bastard for lying to me, but I had better things to do with my time so I won’t bother with him anymore.
There was a huge space at the end of the file and it has two huge question marks written boldly on it, signifying that he is still investigating something. Under one of the question marks, it says, “babies” and under the second question mark, it says “the girl”. I asked him what he was still investigating and he was just about to answer me when Raymond came out of the house and tapped on the car window, urging me to wind down and take the files that he got from Lawrence. I did not wind down the window, rather, I pushed the door open and stepped down from the car with Brian’s file in my hand. I snatched the file from him forcefully and I pushed Brian’s file into his hands with my eyes glaring daggers at him. He paled completely when he opened it, he couldn’t say a fucking word, he just kept looking at me in shame. I could see the guilt in his eyes and it hurts me to see that I have been right all along.
“Why, Raymond, why did you lie to me?” I inquired fiercely, forcing him to look down in shame.
“I’m sorry Mr. Trent. I wanted you to focus on the company. I thought she would be a distraction, I did not want you to bring your family back to New York until you take down all your enemies. I’m so sorry boss, I was just looking out for you.”
“Are you fucking kidding me right now, Ray?
If you were simply looking out for me like you so claim, then why haven’t you told me about it since I took over the company?
It’s been eight months, Ray. Right fucking months since I became Chairman and CEO of my family’s empire. All this while you said nothing to me, we’re you ever going to tell me, I mean, how long were you going to keep lying to my fucking face, when were you planning to tell me?” I yelled furiously. I did not even realize that I was moving closer to him, but I saw him moving away from me and I realize that I was moving to attack him in my angry state.
“So what else are you keeping from me, Ray?
You better let it all out right now before I find out from someone else. if I find out that you lied and withheld more information from me, I’ll get rid of you, I’ll fucking kill you Raymond and your family would be blacklisted again. I’ll advise you to study that file carefully and think carefully before you answer.” I warned him firmly.
“I can tell you the whole truth, Mr. Trent, but you have to promise not to shoot me.” He pleaded calmly, taking another step backward. I could see the guilt written all over his face and I can see that he is scared, but I need to know everything he knows, so I took out my gun and threw it at one of the guards, with my eyes still fixed on him sternly.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“Start talking.” I ordered him firmly, with my voice filled with anger.
“I’m so sorry Nate, I never meant for you to find out this way, I was just…”
“Cut the crap and tell me what I need to know.” I yelled furiously, cutting his words short.
“I… I… I have reason to believe that your wife is the granddaughter of Mr. Connor and his wife Elsa that we are searching for. Her name popped up in my investigation, she is the same age as the girl we are looking for and she came into the orphanage around the same time that the child got missing. I just need to confirm if she has a scar on the back of her head.”
“Jesus, Ray… What the hell is wrong with you, how could you keep something like this from me, how could you be so stupid?” I yelled in frustration as I dragged my hand threw my hair. But he looked unfazed by my outburst, that could only mean that he has something else to tell me that is way worse than this. I wonder what could be worse than this.
“Just say it already.” I yelled out at him when he keeps hesitating to say the last part.
“Mrs. Trent was pregnant before you left, she had two kids for you, Nate. You are a father.”
