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.
