The Billionaire’s Desires

Travis’s POVOriginal content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“I played my part Travis, I did everything you asked. You have no right to push me aside this way, you can’t do this to me. You need me, Travis, you know you do. One word from me and the whole city would be at your doorstep seeking justice for Nathan. I won’t let you get away with this, I won’t let you trick me this way, I’ll fucking kill you?!” Ariel yelled furiously as my boys kicked her out of my house.

The slutty bitch!

She actually thought that we are now partners, she had the effrontery to walk into my house and demand for Nathans shares in the company, she actually wants me to hand over everything that Nathan had to her, can you believe that, I mean, is she fucking high on drugs or something. What on earth would make her think that I would ever hand over my inheritance to her, I fucking planned it all, me and no one else. Although I’ll have to admit that she had played a big role in convincing his family and the public that he is dead indeed. I watched her carry herself with so much pride and charisma as she planned his burial. She had fooled everyone into believing that she is hurt by his death, I can’t believe that she was even able to force out some drops of tears at his funeral, jeez, how does she even sleep at night, who can she live in the same house with his family, watching them moan his death every fucking day?

She must think that I’m really stupid, she thinks that I stood aside all these months because I’m scared. She thinks that I’ve suddenly grown a conscience, she thinks I stayed back all these years because I am beginning to feel guilty about my actions. She must be very stupid if she has ever believed that. The only reason why I stayed back and let her handle the situation is that I do not wish to make any public statements, not when the Schwartz brothers have not been able to kill that fucking idiot. I am just using her as a distraction, I want her to take the heat away from my direction. The public would be more focused on a beautiful lady moaning about her dead fiance, they would be too distracted to observe all my movements and discover all that I’m doing behind the scenes. While they focused on her silly acting on national television, I was able to get enough evidence to make everyone believe that he is dead. I’m sure that even Ariel believes that I have succeeded in killing him, she has no idea that my plans are failing badly. But I’m confident that they will succeed because once they called off the search for Nathan, my boys were free to hunt him.

The only problem now is that he has been evading their attacks all these months, he just refuses to die. He has a helper, some guy I don’t know recognize, I don’t even know how he also ended up on that island, but he is a trained fighter and he has been protecting him all this while. If only I know who it is, I would have offered him a better deal for him to kill that bastard for me, but nobody could provide any useful information about him. Despite all the effort I have put in, I still couldn’t find out anything about this guy, it felt like he had fallen right out of the skies, nobody knows anything about this dude, nothing at all. At first, I thought that he was sent by my grandfather. He was never in support of my plans, he only went along with them because I threatened to expose his secret and lies. If I had not threatened him, he would never have done anything that would hurt his favorite grandson.

When I went to him to ask him about the man he sent to save Nathan, his response was not what I had imagined. He was even more surprised than I had been when I heard about the guy. From his reaction, you can tell that he knows absolutely nothing about the guy. Right now he is even more curious than I am, he also wants to know the identity of the strange man. A few days after I went to confront him, I found out that he has been asking questions about the guy, searching for any clue that would hint him at the identity of the guy. I think we are now on the same page, he wants Nathan dead as well, he doesn’t want to be exposed, and he is doing everything he can to cover up the truth. If only he knows that I am still going to spill the beans, I would never let him control me like he controlled Nathan. Right after I take over everything, I would get rid of him by telling the whole world just how evil he is. With him gone, I would have enough time on my hands to get rid of Nathan’s parents. Right now, I need to deal with the snake that I let into my backyard,

Ariel…

I have ignored her for far too long, I let her do anything she likes, inlet her get away with anything she does, and it has given her more boldness, she now believes that she has a stake in our family business, my business. She is trying to play a fast one on all of us. I saw how she dealt with Nathan’s other girlfriend, I saw how hard she fought her, she tried so hard to keep her identity a secret and prevent her from ever coming into the family to ruin her plans. She knows that if his parents know that Nathan has another girl that he loves, they will not let her handle his funeral arrangement anymore, they would even kick her out of the house because her presence would be an insult to Nathan’s memory. That would have completely ruined her, all her plans would have been destroyed. Right now, she has the love and respect of the whole city because she has created this image of a perfect wife. They all admire her bravery as she searched for her fiance, she never left the family house, she went on national TV and pleaded with the law enforcement agencies, shedding a few drops of tears as she pleaded for them to help her search for her fiance.

She has garnered their pity and support, she made them believe that she truly loves him, and she acted so perfectly that it was too hard not to believe her. Initially, I had thought that she is acting this way because she wants Nathan to appreciate her efforts when he returns, I thought she was getting rid of Hillary because she believes that Nathan would come back for her. But it turns out that she had own plans, she never wished him back, she wants to take everything he owns from right under my nose. She only went after Hillary Futon because of her hatred for the innocent girl. She had chased her out of town, she only stopped when she lost track of her somewhere in Detroit. She left the fucking country just to get away from Ariel, she abandoned everything and ran like hell. But she wasn’t alone, she had help as well. Just like Nathan, she also had a bodyguard that is prepared to give his life for her. He is good as well, I don’t know where she got him, but he is faithful as hell and he never left her, even after getting a nice offer from Ariel. I’m guessing it’s her boyfriend or something, I mean, no guy in his right senses would be prepared to die for a lady for no reason at all, he’s got to be getting something in return, I mean, he has to be banging that pretty ass of hers right, that is the only explanation I could think of right now and trust me, it’s the best explanation.

Although I’m sure she won’t hide out forever. Ariel has not given up on her search for her, I’m sure she would catch up with her someday. She doesn’t just want her gone, she fucking wants her dead. I think it has something to do with her ego, she can never seem to forget about the love Hillary had shared with Nathan. She hates Hillary because she found a way into Nathan’s heart whereas she never had a moment of peace with Nathan. After all, they were always at loggerheads. Now is her only chance to get rid of Hillary and get revenge for her broken heart, I’m sure she would never give up on finding her, not until she has killed her. She only took a break from her search for Hillary because she heard that I am going to finally take charge of the company. Nathan had been clever, too clever for his own good. He had mad3 it impossible for anyone to run the company without him, he blocked me off the company’s finances, and he placed some pretty smart people in the company, leaving me on the sidelines. I’m only a figurehead in the company, the right to make every decision lies with the board of directors, the simply refused to acknowledge me as the chairman. With the help of my father and my grandfather, everything is now in order, just the way I want it to be. My grandfather did a conference call with the board of directors, placing me in total control not because he wanted to, but because I made him do it. He made me the leader in the family, pending the return of Nathan, but you and I both know that he isn’t leaving that island, not now, not ever. When the news spread across the city that I am now the head of the Trent family, Ariel came back from her wild hunt for Hillary,  she had simply placed some guys on Hillary’s tail while she stays behind to claim Nathan’s shares in the company.

The bitch actually threatened to kick me out of this company, company if I don’t give her what she wants, can you believe that?

She thinks I am scared of some public scandal, just because she has the sympathy of everyone in the city, she thinks she can force me into meeting all her demands. She wants to make me look weak in front of the public, she wants the whole city to think that she is more capable than I am. I let her go too far with me, screwing her whenever she wants, right now I’m even having some serious issues with my fiancee because she keeps finding her around me. It is true that I don’t love her, I’m only engaged to her because her family’s good name will help me secure more contracts with the government. I am not as smart as Nathan, I can’t get these contracts by myself, I need to do things my own way, that is why I’m still with her. But Ariel is trying to ruin it for me, not only that, but she is also eyeing a position in the company, she wants to have everything and I’m so sick of her stupid games and pretenses, it’s time to let her see that she has no place in the company and certainly not in my life. I had my boys drag her out of my house, pushing her out like a fucking whore that she is.

“Let’s get this straight bitch, you are not a part of this family, you were never married to Nathan and you have no right to claim anything that belongs to him. If you two had been married, I would have killed you myself because I want it all, I want everything. You were only a means to an end, I used you to get what I wanted, and now that I’m done with you, I need you out of the family’s house and I don’t want to see your ugly ass around me ever again. Now get the fuck out of my house, I don’t want to ever set my eyes on you again.” I told her sternly, before turning to head back inside, but she stopped me in my tracks when she started giggling like a fucking idiot, looking like a lunatic.

“You can’t get rid of me that easily, Travis Trent. I know everything you did on that island and I have evidence to prove that you killed your brother. I would tell the whole world what you did.” She let out smugly, with a smirk, making me chuckle at her stupidity. Damn, she is so stupid.

“Good girl, that would be so perfect. And while you’re at it, be sure to tell the whole story, don’t exclude the part you played in killing your fiance.” I told her with a smug smile on my face. The smirk disappeared from her face only to be replaced with a thoughtful frown as she gazed up at me in surprise.

“What the hell are you talking about, I knew nothing about it.” She retorted.

“Oh come on Ariel, you know exactly what I’m talking about. You didn’t really think that I would be keeping you close to me without having a backup plan, do you?

You are a snake Ariel, a fucking snake that’s what you are. And guess what, Ariel, I have enough evidence to prove that you are my accomplice in everything, and not only that, I have our sex tapes as well. So I would advise you to think twice before you get us both in big trouble because I know that I won’t be going down alone. If I go down, you go down as well. Besides, I would love to see the whole city turn on you when they realize that you are nothing but a whore, a fucking whore. Now get your slutty ass off my fucking house.” I told her fiercely.

“Get her out of here.” I instructed my boss when she wouldn’t move. She is just too stunned to utter a single word. I couldn’t help chuckling at her stunned expression. I got her right where I want her to be.  Now it’s time to focus on the company and make it all mine. I walked back inside with a smug smile plastered on my face, I just love it when things go exactly how I want.  Everything is just so perfect. I heard my phone ringing upstairs  I ran up the stairs to pick it up, and when I did, I saw that the caller ID, it was the leader of the Schwartz brothers, I never seem to recall his name. I picked immediately because I’m hoping that he has some good news for me, I’m hoping that he has finally succeeded in killing Nathan, but I got the worst report ever. It was so stunning that the phone dropped from my hands immediately.

“Nathan has escaped from the island.”
