The Billionaires Desires novel Chapter 2

TRAVIS’S POV

After she left, I made another call to the pilot that flies the family's private jet. It’s about time that I put an end to Nathan. I can’t let Ariel know that I plan to get rid of her fiance, she would never have allowed it. The fucking bitch is too desperate for her own good.

Too bad she doesn’t know about my other plans, and even if she did, she wouldn’t be able to do anything to stop my plans, I’ve got the video of us having sex in this house, there is no way she would fight against me because I could release that video at any Point in time and it would ruin all her plans to be Mrs. Trent.

Even if she chooses to fight it, she is still going to lose this battle because Nathan is never coming back to this city alive, so there is no way she would be taking on the surname, “Trent” at least not from me, I’m sure. She is good for the sex, I’ll never have such a whore run my household, not even if she were the last woman on planet earth. 

I bet she doesn’t know that Nathan has just taken his new sweetheart to the marriage registry, he never had any plans for her, he hates her guts. I wonder what, aunt Doris, Nathan's mom was thinking when she accepted her as his wife, she must have believed the rumors spread by my dad and I about Nathan. It’s quite a shame that she doesn’t know how to spot out a lie or a rumor, she has been in this family for so many years, but she has never learned the tricks of the Trent’s, she is still a pure-hearted do-gooder that can be easily tricked or deceived, that is why she believed the old man’s lies, even when the truth was staring at her face. Well, it’s a good thing that she never ratted him out because if the truth had been exposed, I would not have anything to use against the old man and force him to do my bidding.

You’re wondering what I’m talking about, right?

Well, let me take you on a trip down memory lane,

You see, many years ago, back in the Caribbean, my grandfather fell in love with a beautiful lady, named Elsa. She was the only daughter of the Kingston family and the heir to the family wealth. My grandfather had a friend named Conor and his family was also wealthy but the Kingston's were the wealthiest because they came from a long line of elites. Grandpa, Conor, and Elsa were best friends and they were so inseparable. He never thought anything would destroy their bond until he discovered that Conor was also in love with Elsa. They both had feelings for the beautiful damsel but none of them could open up to her because they feared being rejected.

One day, Gramps caught his two best friend’s making out in Elsa’s room, apparently, Elsa also had feelings for Conor and when Conor wouldn’t ask her out, she took the bold step and confessed her feelings to him. They both had been dating for a few months and they kept my dad in the dark until he caught them in bed. The pain and heartbreak were too much for my grandfather, so he packed up and left the Caribbean and that was how he came to settle in New York City and luckily, he found love again and he settled in New York and started his own family. With his experience in the family business, he started a new company in New York and within a few years, he built another empire in New York and when it was his turn to lead the family, he linked the companies in the Caribbean and the ones in New York and other countries and that was how we got this wealthy and influential.

With all this wealth, he still wasn’t happy, he had a grudge in his heart against his two best friends who later got married and had a beautiful daughter that was as beautiful as the mother, Elsa. He wanted to hurt them as much as they had hurt him, but he never got a chance. Watching their beautiful daughter always makes him feel the pains all over again. He had two boys, my dad and uncle Simon, Nathan's father, but he still envied his best friends who had only one daughter. 

The years went by and the kids all grew up and got married, then he had grandchildren. My mom ran away from my father after she had me, but Luckily, Aunt Doris had a daughter after Trent, and Gramps was excited to have a daughter himself. My father told me that everything was going well and everyone was happy, but nobody knew of the plans my grandfather was hatching until a tragedy befell Conor and Elsa. Their only daughter, died during childbirth, leaving her beautiful daughter in the care of her husband. He couldn’t take care of the little girl, so he left the little girl in the care of her grandmother, Elsa.

Elsa was grief-stricken because of the death of her daughter and while she moaned the death of her daughter, another tragedy struck, the little child got missing. The whole house was in chaos, the police were invited, but no one had any idea what happened to the poor child. I was only five years old, and as usual, I had a fight with Nathan while we were fighting over a toy, Aunt Doris was trying to console me with a snack and while she took me to the kitchen, we passed by the old man’s room and heard the cry of a baby. Aunt Doris stooped by and knocked on the door and Gramps came out and gave her some flimsy excuses and as usual, she believed his lies.

                          *******

Two years ago, my father got drunk and while he was whining about my mom leaving him, he told me about Gramps unlucky love story. I had forgotten about that day, but when I heard the whole story again, I did my findings and I discovered that my grandfather had stolen that child just to hurt her grandparents and he dumped her in an orphanage and forgot about her. I did not bother searching for the girl because I have no business with her, but I sure used the information I have to blackmail my grandfather. If only I’ve had this information sooner, Nathan would never have been named heir to the empire, I would have blackmailed him into giving me everything because he knows that his friends are still searching for their granddaughter and it would be such a shame if they discovered that he has been the culprit all along.

But, it ain’t too late though, I can still make things work in my favour, and that is exactly what I’m going to do.
