This is exactly the same way that Travis was taught to be obnoxious and hateful. This is history repeating itself and this time it will be my fault if I don’t stop it before it gets too far. In my opinion, it is way better if dad gets rid of his favoritism and gets our moms to learn to accept each other. His other wife may be pretending to be the victim in all this, I mean, she had got my dad to believe that she loves my mom and she has made him believe that my mom is the villain in all this but I can see right through her. I know my mom had acted stupidly when she attacked her the other time and got her house burnt down, but the truth is that she ain’t any better than my mom. She hates my mom as much as my mom hates her, if not even more. She just has a pretty good way of hiding it. She hides her anger and hates behind that stupid smile on her face and it is such a surprise that my father doesn’t realize that he is in love with a hateful woman. She has him wrapped around her fingers and he stupidly falls for her lies every single time. It’s either he is blinded by love or he just chooses to let her get away with anything she does. It’s just so stupid.
I expected some explanation from dad, I mean, he is thirty minutes late for fucks sake. But guess what, I got nothing, I mean nothing at all. They both sat in the car waiting for me to meet them outside, he did not even step down from the damn vehicle, can you believe that?
“You are so damn late!” I yelled in anger when they finally stepped out of the car. They only stepped down when I approached their vehicle, I had to put my hands in my pocket because I was so tempted to slap off the smug smile on Easton’s face. The bratty kid is really getting on my nerves, I hope he doesn’t make this a habit, or I swear to God, I’ll start treating him like an enemy and he is definitely not going to like it.
“Yeah, whatever.” Dad retorted, using the same words I’d used on him last night. I think he is trying to prove a point, I guess he doesn’t know that his stupid point is pissing me off. He is really getting on my nerves and if he wasn’t my dad, I would have had him beaten to a pulp right now. I ignored his insults and I led them to my bulletproof SUV. As soon as we got into my car, it drove off immediately, with the other SUVs following behind us as we headed for the company. I’ve waited for this day for a long time, I won’t let him distract me from the mission, I just won’t let him.
Dad and Easton had no idea that we were heading to the company. I knew the exact moment when dad realized that we were heading to the company. He has this nervous look on his face, it is so obvious to see that he knows what is happening there today. I ignored the shocked look on his face, I acted like I am not aware of the fact that he is glaring furiously at me. I simply looked out the window as the car drove along the busy road that lead to Trent's group of companies. I guess he thought we were heading for lunch or something. Well, I hope he is prepared to be astounded today. I know that his French buddy would be there today, I wonder if that is why he is so nervous or maybe he simply wants to keep me away from the meeting. He wants me away from there until he succeeds in buying it for his precious little protégé.
“What the hell are we doing here, Nathan. I told you the company is not as it used to be, our shares collapsed a few months ago and everything was sold. We have no reason to be here son, we have to leave here now. I hate being here, it reminds me of the time when I CEO of this company and it hurts me to see what it has become. Please, son, we have to leave now.” My dad pleaded hysterically, making me laugh at his failed attempt at emotional blackmail.
“Really dad, is that all you could come up with? You must think that I’m stupid Dad, or maybe you are so stupid to try to fool me again. No shut up and come along or my boys would drag you into that meeting. Your choice?” I said with a smirk before turning around to walk towards the entrance. There were security guards blocking the entrance of the building. I recognize their uniforms, they are the Schwartz brothers and they are here to finish the job, I guess the reports were right when they said that the Schwartz brothers never leave any job unfinished.
“Keep your heads down.” I instructed dad and Easton as we approached the entrance of the office building.
“How about you, why are you in front? You need to step back and let your guards do their jobs.” Dad yelled back at me.
“I can take care of myself.” I responded with a smile. At least I now know that he still cares enough to look out for my wellbeing. The Schwartz brothers weren’t carrying weapons, I guess they have been instructed that they shouldn’t do any damage to the building because it is still up for sale. This means that we are going to fight our way into the building this is great because I’ve been looking for a perfect opportunity to show off my fighting skill and I think this is the perfect opportunity that I’ve been searching for. It took us a few minutes to break through their defenses, this time I fought like a pro and I always hit harder than my opponent, hitting with anger and hatred. I took down a few guys while also keeping an eye on my father and my stepbrother. Gosh, that sounds so weird and funny, but it is what it is, he is my stepbrother, I have accepted that fact already and I am beginning to live with it.
We finally took down the guys at the entrance, but I couldn’t find Robert Schwartz outside and I really want to see that bastard again, I want to extend the same hand of friendship that he had extended to me on that island. We walked down to the reception, getting a few gasps from some of the staffers that are still left in the building. I have no idea what Travis had told them, but they all looked so shocked to see me. Ray split the guys, keeping them at strategic places to ensure that the building is secured. We took the elevator up to the top floor where we have the boardroom. I could see my father sweating profusely and I wondered why he is sweating so much. Could it be because he wasn’t expecting me to be a fighter or maybe it is because I am about to stop Travis from selling off the company. Whatever his reasons might be that is his fucking business I really don’t care.
There was a collective gasp from everyone in the boardroom as my guys pushed the door open, granting me entrance into the building. There were a few familiar faces in the room but the majority were just a bunch of greedy businessmen who has an interest in buying our company, my company. I ignore them all as I walked to the head of the table where Travis sat on the chairman’s seat with Robert Schwartz standing behind him with two other guys from his team. I could see the shock on his face but he tried to hide it behind an angry frown that looks stupid on him. I kept walking forward until I stood right in front of Travis and I smiled at him, keeping my eyes locked on his,
“Get your ass off my seat Trav,”
