Nathan’s POV
“W… Wh… Why are you here?” He stammered out, trying to regain his composure, but I saw right through him and I know that he is scared.
I love that…
I love seeing this look of fear in his eyes and I love the fact that I am the reason why he is this scared. His eyes keeps straying to the other side of the table and I followed his gaze and saw that my uncle is there as well. This is so perfect, every fucking traitor in the family is right here at this table and I couldn’t have asked for a better audience. I need every one of them to witness what will happen today, it would serve as a lesson to anyone who ever tries to go against me in the future.
“You don’t have to create a scene here son, whatever it is that you want to discuss with your brother, I’m sure you can find him later and have this meeting with him. It doesn’t have to be today and it doesn’t have to be right here in this boardroom. I promise you, son, we would resolve any issues you are having with your brother later. Let’s just leave them to their meeting, this company is not worth fighting for, it’s going down already.” My dad let out calmly, trying desperately to get me to leave. I turned to him with a smile, trying so hard not to throttle him and strangle him right where he stood,
“One more word from you, “DAD”, and I’ll treat you like a fucking traitor that you are. I brought you here as a spectator and also as a warning. I’ll suggest you find a seat in the room and put your fucking ass down, “DAD,” I warned him sternly, emphasizing the dad at the end, eliciting a gasp and a shocked expression from him. I turned back to Travis, who looks a bit confused and nervous at the same time. I gave him my best smile ever, but it was enough to make him relax. If anything, it only made him more nervous as the frown lines on his forehead became more obvious as his face heated up.
“Get your fucking ass off my seat, Travis. Trust me, you don’t want me to repeat myself a third time.” I said in a fierce tone, my eyes fixed on him as I stared him down.
“This is not a board meeting Nathan and it has nothing to do with you. I’ll advise you to go back to partying and flirting around town, nobody wants you here. You can choose to do this the easy way or the hard way, but I won’t let you disrupt this meeting, I won’t allow it.” He retorted, banging his fist hard on the table to make his point. I smirked down at him, admiring his boldness. I unbuttoned my tux and took it off, leveling him a gaze that said “Bring it on asshole.”
“I was stranded on an island for months Travis, I did not return to New York City just so I can do things the easy way. I hate the easy way, DEAR COUSIN.” I told him firmly, taking a step closer to him. I emphasized my words at the end in an attempt to get him to back down. I thought he would finally recall the fact that we are still brothers and I thought that would get him to rethink his decisions, but I was wrong. Travis is way past redemption, he is too far gone and the greed and hatred in his heart are just too much. He beckoned on Robert Schwartz and the two guards standing behind him. I smiled at Travis, then I raised my right hand to stop Raymond and the other guys from coming to assist. I have a score to settle with Robert Schwartz and I want Travis to see that I am not the same Nathan that hides behind a bunch of bodyguards, I can defend myself with or without the help of my bodyguards.
“Wrong choice, Trav. Wrong choice.” I told him mockingly as I took down the two guys that Robert sent forward. One lay on the floor, sporting a broken leg while the other guy lay unconscious.
