The Billionaire’s Desires

Nathan’s POV

I flipped through one of the files that Ray handed over to me before we left the house this morning, I just got back from the Caribbean two days ago with Gramps and two of my uncles, and my first stop is at the courthouse because I need to make my return official, I had to clear every death record that they had on me and after that is done, I’ll have to go over to our house and meet with my parents. With the testimony of the elders and my grandfather, the records were cleared and it was announced to the public that I was back and alive and that I survive the plane crash. Gramps and my uncles took the next flight to the Caribbean while I drove over to meet with my parents. I don’t know why I’ve been avoiding them all this while, they have heard the news of my return from the numerous news stations and they must be feeling hurt and pained. I guess I’m not yet ready to see their tears, I just can’t get look them in the eyes right now. A part of me hates them for giving up on me so soon, I don’t know what I was expecting from them, but I think it would have been a lot better if they had held on for a while instead of rushing to bury an empty coffin. Not to mention the fact that they still haven’t figured out that Ariel is nothing but a snake, they still left her in that fucking house and it is so fucking annoying. Last I heard, Ariel now runs the house as if it were her father’s house and my mom lets her do as she pleases because obviously, she is still hurt from losing her husband to be. It’s so frustrating and I just don’t know if I can control my emotions when I get back home, but I’m going home anyway, I’ve put it off for more than two days, it’s time to face them all.

The file I first picked up is the one that contains information about the girl that my grandfather had kidnapped when she was still a baby. Ray had been searching for her while I keep up with my training in the Caribbean. The girl was adopted by a couple in Canada where Ray’s grandfather had abandoned her in an orphanage. He had taken her to Canada because that is where the Hartfords resided, he wanted to keep a close eye on her and monitor her until she grows up. Who would have thought that such a little girl will go through so many challenges in life. She got adopted pretty fast, and a few days after she found her new family, They were involved in a ghastly motor accident that took their lives and nobody knows about the little girl they just adopted.

There was nothing Mr. Hartford could do, the little girl had slipped through their fingers, he thought she had died in that accident as well, the report from the station had said that her body was damaged beyond recognition, so he gave up on his search for her, he accepted the report at the station that confirmed her death and he accepted the punishment from my grandfather. But Ray didn’t give up on her, he picked up the case file and reopened the case, going back to the scene of the accident to compile his own evidence. It was a few days that he noticed something in the coroner’s report that proved to be a breakthrough for us. The first officer that arrived at the scene of the accident had been missing when the ambulance arrived along with other cops, in the report, it was stated that officer Carl was the first to arrive at the scene, but after that, there is no other mention of officer Carl in the reports, he didn’t even give his own statement and the other officers never saw a baby or body parts of a baby at the scene, that is why the coroner concluded that she did not survive the accident, and so the case was sealed off.

Ray tried to find that cop guy named Carl, but it seems like he fell off the surface of the earth. He was just declared missing because he was never seen or heard from after that day, he is presumed to be dead although his body was never found. Ray did some digging, asking questions and tracing everyone that was related to Carl. It took a while, but he got to meet with everyone related to Carl and he questioned them about his disappearance but they had nothing to say that could help our case. He questioned everyone, I mean everyone except for Carl’s girlfriend who flew out of the country after Carl went missing that day. It’s obvious that she knows something so he went after her, sending some boys to fish her out wherever he is. He found her in a brothel owned by a ruthless drug lord named Alonso. Ray wanted to get her out of there and torture her for information but he couldn’t do it because she is owned by the drug lord and he would never let her leave. He had no fucking choice, he had to pay her to get all the information we needed and it worked, she told us everything w needed to know. It turns out that Carl had been a dirty cop, he had been secretly working for Alonso, covering up for his heinous crimes and getting paid in exchange for his services. But he got stupid and he started using Cocaine, getting high on his job, and making silly mistakes all the time. He had taken one of Alonso’s girls that day when the accident occurred, he was high on drugs and he kept speeding up recklessly and that was how the accident happened, he caused the accident that took the life of that couple and it also killed the girl that he was driving with, Alonso’s girl. But somehow Carl had survived the accident along with the little baby that belonged to the couple in the other car.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

He knew that Alonso would never let him go for killing one of his girls, and in his drunken state, he thought that he could use a baby to replace the girl he had just killed. He ran back home to his girlfriend, telling her what she had done and pleading with her to follow him to Alonso. She stupidly agreed and went along with him, despite the fact that he was cheating on her when it happened. Alonso took one look at the bleeding baby and he got so furious with him and he shot him in the head right in front of his girlfriend and he handed her the baby to return it to the scene of the accident and he ordered her to come back to the brothel after getting rid of the baby, he told her she would be used as a replacement for the girl that her stupid boyfriend just killed. She took the baby back but it was too late because the cops were all over the place, so she abandoned her at the closest orphanage she could find and she ran home to pack up and run away, but she was apprehended by Alonso’s men and that is how she came to be working as a whore in his brothel.

“You can ask about her in the orphanage, I’m sure they would not forget her easily considering the fact that she is covered in blood and she had an injury at the back of her head that is as a result of the accident.” She chirped in nicely as Ray was about to leave.

Her story was quite touching and pathetic, but at least we got the name of the orphanage and when Ray went there to ask about the girl, he couldn’t find anyone or anything there because the orphanage has been closed down for so many years and all records had been archived. But we did manage to get a list of all the kids that were registered for that month and Ray is searching for them one by one. You would be surprised at the number of kids that come into the orphanage every fucking day, it is no wonder that my mom made it her sole desire to go give scholarships to orphans all over the world. Ray is still searching and we are left with only a few names on our list, but I’m pretty sure that we would find her soon, I don’t know when that would be, but I’ve got a feeling that it won’t be too long.

I picked up the other files that contain current information about our company and Trent, but I keep ignoring that yellow file that is beckoning to me, begging me to pick it up. It is the file on Hillary and I have been avoiding that file since I met with my best friends Edward and Cole. They were pretty excited to see me and we had so much fun together at OXBY’s, damn I miss this city. They told me how they never lost hope, they always believed that I would be back and they kept sending all my share of our money into my account, they never stopped funding my account, not even once. I was so shocked to realize that my friends could love me this much, they treated me even better than my family, they love me much more than my own family and it was so touching. They handed me the financial reports and everything was perfectly okay until I saw the large withdrawals made from my account with the platinum black card that I gave to Hillary. She has been using my card as I instructed her to, but a few months after my disappearance, she withdrew almost fifty Million and then she stopped, she never used my card again. I guess she thought that my family would come after her to seize my card from her, so she got enough money to last her for a long while and she ran off into thin air.

The Bitch!!!

The Gold Digger!!!

I should have known that she was after the money all along, I got tricked by her cute face and beautiful smiles, she had never loved me, she had only been here for my money, she is just a cunning, trick bitch like Ariel. I can’t believe that I had fallen for her, I can’t believe that I married a fucking gold digger. After being so careful and staying the fuck away from every gold-digging bitch, I finally ended up getting married to the queen of gold diggers and that is such a shame. I wonder why Rays handed me her file again this morning, I don’t think there is anything more to find out about her. She had sneaked into my heart and into my life and when she saw the slightest opportunity, she sold my house and cashed out a couple of millions from my account, then she ran away with her best friend Avril and I’m sure she is spending my money with her lover. If only I could find out where she is right now, I want her to look me in the eye and tell me why she lied to me, I want to see The kind of life she is living and see if she is happy with my money. I picked up the file, not because I trust her and wish to reconnect with her, No. I picked it up because I wanted to see if he has finally found her, I want to make her pay for betraying me this way.

No matter how hard I try, I just can’t let go of the fact that she had tricked me, I just can’t let her go easily, she has to pay for her deceit and I’ll make her pay. I finally summoned enough courage and I picked up the file and open it. My eyes perused the report, hoping to find a place where an address is written, but there was none. It was stated clearly that her current location is still unknown, the only new information in her file is the confession of a girl who claimed that Ariel had been after Hillary’s life and that it was actually Ariel who sold my house and not Hillary. But I don’t believe it, I just don’t believe it. For one thing, Ariel doesn’t know about that house in the first place, and go on earth did Ariel her hands on the house document, it is just impossible. It’s got to be Hilly, she stayed in that house with me and I’m guessing that she found her way into my safe in our room.

“You don’t have to make up stories to make me feel better, Raymond. Hillary had run away with my money and that is all I need to know.” I told him sternly.

“I’m sorry if you feel that way, Mr. Trent. But I’m sure that the girl wasn’t lying when she said that Mrs. Trent was attacked at your house and on her way to your funeral. I saw the police reports and I discovered that her stories checks out sir, she was telling the truth. I don’t know if Miss Ariel would deny her actions, but I’m sure we would find out the truth when we find your wife sir.”

“Whatever,” I responded with a wave of my hand, dismissing the subject. He is always acting weird when we talk about Hillary, I guess it’s because he never liked her, he had warned me to say away from her because she would be a distraction to me. Sometimes I feel like he is hiding something from me, but I’m sure it is not important because if it were, he would have told me about it already. The car pulled up at the entrance of our family mansion, it’s been so long since I set foot in this house and I really miss it. The security guards came close enough to confirm who the intruders are, and when they saw me, they were more than happy to open the gate and let me in. Mom was the first to come out, but she was too dumbstruck to make any move, she just stood at a spot with her hands on her mouth to stifle her sobs. I guess she was heading out with Ariel and my kid sister because the bitch came out right after her and she ran towards me in joy but she got stopped by my guards before she could get anywhere near me. My kid sister snapped out of her shock and came running into my arms. Damn, she is all grown now, and she is so beautiful  I guess she must be having a lot of suitors now. I’ll need to buy a gun or something, I would never let her get hurt. Mom still stood at the same spot sobbing softly, dad was standing right next to her and the both of them just gazed at me happily. With my sister in my arms, I walked forward to meet my parents, passing Ariel and ignoring her completely.
