The Billionaires Desires novel Chapter 2

That is not the main reason why I called you here Nate, you have always known that Travis would make his move on you, so I’m guessing that you have a plan set in place to counter his attack.  Or maybe you got too distracted by your new crush and you failed to see this coming?” He teased mockingly.

“Leave Hillary out of this, man. I’m trying to keep her out of all this madness, I hope she doesn’t find out about my messed-up family, she could be tempted to leave me just to avoid my family drama. What is the important information you have for me, what could be more important than my own brother's hatred and greed?” I asked curiously because the truth is that, I have been too distracted of late and I have not been paying much attention to the things happening around me, otherwise, I would have known that Ariel is screwing Travis and I would have used that as an excuse to kick her out of my life for good. 

That notwithstanding, I’m still kicking get out of my life, with or without the evidence of her cheating. I’ll make her pay for making a foul out of my mom, I’ll make her wait for the duration of my travel, she would have wasted many years, waiting for me. Then when I get back, I’ll finally break up with her. That’s what she’ll get for trying to make a foul out of me and for deceiving my mom.

“Listen to this,” Costello said, snapping me out of my thoughts. I saw him hitting the play button on his laptop, won’t know it's got to be a recording. I could hear a voice in the background, it’s Travis, I would always recognize his voice anywhere. He was talking to someone and the conversation was about me. That voice, it sounds vaguely familiar.  I was still trying to figure out who has that voice, then I heard him address the other person as Gramps, and then it clicked. He was talking to my grandfather. But why is he screaming and threatening Gramps and what is that big secret that he is threatening to expose if Gramps doesn’t do as he says?

“The recording is short but it is proof that your grandfather is in alliance with your brother, and this stupid trip could be their way of getting rid of you for good. I would advise you to cancel this trip and face the consequences later. You could go there after you deal with your brother and take control of the company.” He ad iced calmly, leaning on the couch to stare at me.

“I can’t man, I just can’t go back on my promise to Gramps, I can’t let him down. Travis has something on him, that is why he is doing this. I just have to place someone in the office that would oversee all his affairs and report back to me. I could find out the secret my grandfather is hiding and when I do, I will make it go away, that way, he wouldn’t be able to blackmail him anymore. Besides, I have made up my mind already, I just have to get it over with, and when I’m back, it would be war.” I declared.

“This heart of yours, it’s going to lead you to your death eventually, you know that right?” he joked.

We had a long talk and he added one guy to my team, a tech guy. I pitched my idea on a possible solution to the problem he is having with his sister, and surprisingly, he agreed. She needs to learn how to manage a business of her own and I need a smart Secretary that would keep an eye on the companies affairs while I’m away. He agreed to let her work for me, in exchange, I’ll teach her all she needs to know about running a successful cooperation.

It was settled. Tomorrow morning, I’ll have a meeting with the board of directors, and I’ll brief them on my plans and the new management system. I’ll be sure to introduce Rosie to everyone, letting them know that she is my secretary. My new tech guy, Fred would be acting as her personal assistant, I want him to hack into the companies servers and monitor everything going on behind me. 

I’ve got eight well trained guards that would be my personal guards. Two would be traveling with me while four would be staying back at the house, securing Hillary. The other two would be keeping watch on my family and monitoring Travis when he is not in the company. I made every arrangement before going home to my parents. I decided to have dinner with them, it’s going to be a while before I see them again.

I groaned in frustration when I met Ariel there, I hate her even more than I did before. The fact that she acts like a saint in front of everyone is so annoying. She has even packed my luggage in preparation for my departure. I guess she just can’t wait to get rid of me so she could run to the arms of my brother. She is such a slut.

After dinner, I had a little chitchat with my parents and my sister. I spent some hours with them before leaving to go spend time with my love.  I ignored Ariel like a plague, leaving behind the luggage she had packed for me. I would deal with her when I get back from the Caribbean, right now, I need to spend the most time with Hillary and I have to convince her to keep my black card with her, she can be so stubborn when it comes to spending my money. But trust me, I’ve got my way of convincing her.
