The Billionaire’s Desires

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.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

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.

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,”
