The Billionaires Desires novel Chapter 98

Still Travis POV

For the past week, Travis has been changing the location of the meeting, trying to throw me off his trail, but kept up with his plans and I have been informed that the meeting later moved back to the company. A lot of his clients had issues with the constant change of location and they voiced out their grievances, that was why he had no choice but to move back the meeting to the company’s boardroom. I made no attempt to meet with him, I tried as much as possible to avoid being seen always but I never let him see me, I have never set my eyes on him since I got back. He must have heard about Ariel's case, I made sure the news got to him because I want him to know that he is next.

On the other hand, My search for Hillary has come to a dead end. She did a good job in covering her tracks, I mean even Raymond couldn’t find out her whereabouts. I guess she must have been planning it for a very long time, that is why it had been so easy for her to run away without leaving a single trail that could lead anyone to her. Ariel had only made her activate have plans a lot sooner, if Ariel had not chased her out of town, I’m sure she wouldn’t have run away with my money, instead, she would have stayed right here in my fucking house, spending my money. I guess it’s a good thing that she had run off with just some money, it would have been more annoying if she had stayed back here and emptied out my account with her lover, or lovers, whatever the case might be because I am certain that she has forgotten all about me. She didn’t wait for my return and I’m sure that she didn’t run off to a monk or something like that, she is having the time of her life in a pretty nice city. And when I finally find her, I’m going to tell her just how disappointed I am.

That aside, my search for the granddaughter of Uncle Connor and Auntie Elsa. We finally got to the last name on our list, yet we still haven’t found her. We had to go back to the matron that took care of the kids in the orphanage where she had been abandoned. She had confirmed to us that the baby had sustained a head injury when she was abandoned at their doorsteps. The injury was so severe that they had to fly her abroad for treatment immediately. She took us to the archives where some of the documents from the orphanage were stored and she showed me some pictures of the little girl with a bandage wrapped around her head. I just can’t believe that such a little baby was forced to go through so much torture at such an early age. That Bastard had ignored the fact that she was bleeding so much, it’s just so stupid. I think he deserves what he got, I just wished that I had been the one to put that bullet through his fucking head. The little girl was not among the kids that were sent to other orphanages, she was sent straight to the hospital in New York City and after that, she was sent to a different orphanage altogether. Now we had to go back and search for the hospital she was sent to in New York and we also need to find the orphanage she had been put in. I mean, it can’t be that hard to find a girl with a scar on the back of her head in New York City right?

Who am I kidding?

It is next to impossible, It will be nothing short of a miracle if I ever find this girl it’s like the universe doesn’t want her to be found or something. It’s just so frustrating because I have a promise to keep, I can’t disappoint the Connors again, not after I’ve raised their hopes once more. They must have accepted their fates all these years, they must have accepted the fact that they may never find her again, but I came back and told them that there is a strong possibility that their granddaughter is still alive. It would have been so much better if I had just let them be. Now I don’t see the possibility of ever finding that girl and it’s going to be so disappointing for everyone. I have instructed Ray to put more guys on this case, I don’t care if they have to create a roadblock and start checking the back of every girl's head, but I want that girl to be found soon. I am not just doing this for the Connors or my grandfather, I am doing this for myself as well. I feel this sense of obligation towards that innocent child. Everything that has happened to her had been our fault, my grandfather orchestrated everything. So it is my duty as the head of this family to make it right, it is my duty to bring her back home to her family safely. I’ll get her back home, it is a promise and I intend to keep it.

I’ve been expecting a shipment that I ordered a few days ago. I ordered for some Rottweilers to be shipped down to a warehouse that I recently purchased and I got some pretty good dog trainers to take care of them before the deal day. I have a high present for Travis and his father and I’m pretty sure that they’ll love my surprise. They say payback is a bitch, but this time, payback has a name and its name is Nathan Trent. Yeah I know I sound mean and heartless, but you see, I have to do this otherwise I won’t be feared and respected by those bunch of idiots that think that they can get away with murder. I’m putting together a perfect retribution plan and I’m going to make my dad and his son watch as I take down my enemies. It’s going to be a warning to everyone, I mean everyone. Nobody messes with me and gets away with it. I won’t let them go, I’ll pay them in their own coin, one after the other, they will feel my wrath.

That morning, I personally called the warehouse and instructed the guys to starve the dogs all day, I need them ravenous when I get to that warehouse today. I asked Ray to prepare the guys for today, I need them at their best performance today. They know what is at stake here, a lot of them know my story and they know how important this mission is to me. I waited for dad and his precious little son to arrive, for some absurd reason, they chose to show up late. I guess they are trying to prove to me that I can’t make the rules and expect them to fall in line. They decided to show up late because, in their opinion, I have no right to tell them what to do. I don’t think that my father has thought this through. He has no idea what he is doing to this little boy, he is teaching him to be devious, tricky, and hateful. Right now, I don’t see any difference between him and his brother.
