Still Nathan’s POV
“Hi Gramps, did you miss me?” I muttered softly when my grandfather got into the living room. I’ve been waiting for him all morning, I snuck in here with my boys very early this morning, we took out all the guys on the premises and we did it quietly so as not to wake anyone, especially my grandfather. I won’t disrupt his sleep, no. I’m going to sit here and wait for him to wake up from his sleep. It’s 5:30 am, the whole household is so quiet because everyone is still asleep. In a few minutes, the housekeepers will be wakened up by their alarms and they will start their chores. My grandfather is always the first to wake up, it has always been his habit for as long as I can remember, that is why I know that he will be the first to wake up today, and that is why I’m waiting for him in his private room where he performs his usual morning meditation, that is always how he starts his day. But not today, it’s definitely going to be different for him because today is his day of reckoning, today he faces the consequences of all his past sins. I’ll make sure he pays dearly for everything he has ever done. He was so terrified to see me, but he tried to hide it, choosing to act all tough and fearless.
“Te estaba esperando hijo, pero no tan pronto.” He let out with a mocking smile. Then he clapped his hands, signaling for his guards to come over. I was expecting him to be disappointed, I thought no one will answer to his call because I thought I had taken out all his guards outside. But I was wrong, I was so wrong. Turns out that he was right when he said that he had been expecting this visit. Aside from the numerous guards outside, he also placed some guards inside the house, waiting for me to attack. I can’t believe that he is not feeling any remorse for all the things he has done. I could have been killed on that island, I would have been dead right now and he doesn’t even feel bad about it. How could he be so heartless, why the hell is he so hard-hearted and stubborn?
I sat on the chair, looking him in the eye, hoping he changes his mind, but he didn’t budge, he simply moved aside, letting his guards in. My boys moved to attack but I waved them off, telling them to stand aside and watch while I handle them myself. It’s time for Gramps to know that I am not the same Nathan that can be easily tricked or defeated. I stood up from my seat and took off my suit, then I folded my sleeves slowly, all the while keeping my eyes on my grandfather, observing him. He looks surprised and curious and I’m more than ready to satisfy his curiosity. I initiated the attack, fighting them off easily and effortlessly. I took them all out in a few minutes, then I sat down on the chair and gazed up at my grandfather who stood by the corner looking as shocked as hell.
“¿Qué has venido a hacer aquí, Nathan, por qué has venido aquí?
¿Has venido a matarme por mis errores, has venido a quitarme la vida?” he asked me in Spanish, our native language. When translated into English, it means,
“Why have you come here, Nathan, what have you come here to do, have you come to kill me for my mistakes, have you come to take my life, what have you come to do here?”
