The Billionaire’s Desires

Miguel’s POV

My brother is playing a sick game with Nathan Trent and it’s giving me cause for concern. From what I can see, I can tell that Nathan is a good man who is looking to make a change in his family and in the society. This only makes me wonder why my brother would lie to him about his family and keep their location a secret to him. It is so damn hard to look at Hillary in the eyes and lie to her about her husband, for crying out loud, it is even harder to look at his kids every damn day when I know that I am the reason why they are growing up without a father.

It is quite a mystery to see Raymond lying effortlessly to Nathan without second thoughts. I just don’t know why he would be risking this mission, I don’t know why he is trying to ruin it for everyone. We have worked so damn hard to get to where we are today, we have faced many obstacles and yet we came out strong and victorious. But with the way Raymond is handling this case, we may end up losing every damn thing that we have worked so hard to achieve, we could end up losing our credentials once more, and we could lose Nathan’s trust, just like our grandfather did, and we would lose this rare opportunity of restoring our family’s honor and getting back everything that we have lost over the tears.

We are tearing apart a happy family and it hurts me to know that I am the reason that these kids are growing up without a father. Yeah, I know that they see me as a father figure, they love and adore me and they treat ma I’m as a father. On my part, I love them with everything in me and I wish they were really mine because they are so amazing and smart and they might up our lives and make us forget about everything we went through to take them away from New York City and bring them to safety. But the fact remains that they are not my children, they belong to Nathan Trent, my boss. The longer we hide the truth from him, the more pain and heartache it will cause for both him and his wife, including Gerald and Gemma.

I’ve tried so hard to make Raymond give up this stupid plan of his, but he just wouldn’t listen to me. First, he said he wanted to keep it a secret from him until he gets rid of the traitors in the Trent household and take over the company. He said he will break the news to him immediately after he takes over the company as CEO. But it’s been eight months since Nathan took over the family business, it’s been eight months since Nathan became the head of the Trent household, yet he still hasn’t told him about his family. He said he wants him to get used to running the company and leading the family before he would tell him about his own family. He keeps making it look as if he is making the right decision for Mr. Trent, but to me, that is just bullshit because I know that we are making a huge mistake. Nathan Trent would never forgive us for doing something like this to him. Forgiveness is not even an option, It would be a fucking miracle if he lets us keep our jobs and remain in his service. Our family would go back to the way we used to be, we would be hated and neglected by the others and we would never be able to get a decent job anywhere else because our good name would be tainted and nobody would want to associate with us anymore because we are nothing but failures.

That apart, we also gave a huge problem lurking around. That problem is in form of a person and it is none other than Lawrence Delaney. Yes, that bastard is a huge problem to us and if we don’t do something about it, it would be too late for Nathan and Hillary to get back together because she would have fallen for this dude already. What the hell am I even saying, she is already in love with the guy and it is becoming so hard to keep them apart because she is so damn stubborn and she wouldn’t listen to anything I say. I really don’t blame him for falling for this guy, I mean, if I’m being honest, I would admit that the guy is pretty amazing and he loves Gemma and Gerald so much, treating them like his kids. But I can’t le5 him have Hillary because she still has a husband and they are still married to each other, even if they are living apart from each other right now. It is just a matter of time before they would be together again and until that happens, I’ll have to do everything I can to keep them apart from each other.

I still can’t believe that she had been making out with him right in front of the house, I’ve spoken to Raymond but as usual, he gave me some flimsy excuses, telling me that Nathan is too busy to handle that situation right now and that he was busy as well. Yeah, I know he is very busy, he never stops telling me about it because he keeps making it seem like his job is more important than mine. He keeps saying that he is handling the case of that missing girl that severed our relationship with the Trent’s, but that shouldn’t be too hard, I mean how hard could it be to find one girl, right?

If you ask me, I think that he is searching so hard for that girl because I know the kind of resources that he has and I know that if he really wants to find that girl, he would have found her already. I think m he has something to hide about that case, that is the only explanation I could come up with. It is either he doesn’t want to find her, or maybe he has found out that the girl is dead and he doesn’t want to tell Nathan the truth yet because he doesn’t want him to lose his focus and lose the company or his life. He said he couldn’t help me with Hillary’s case so I have no other choice but to handle it myself, I had to come up with different days to keep them away from each other. Trust me it has been so ticking hard, and the fact that the guy is so cute is making it even more difficult for me, he has a way of making any woman fall at his feet and that includes Hillary. She practically drools whenever she sees him and she now spends more time in the dressing room, trying to look good for the fucking idiot.

After their first date, after I caught them making out in front of the house, I knew I had to find a way to get him to hate her, but I just didn’t know what to do because she seems to adore him so much and I know how difficult it was for her to open up to this guy, I know how hard it was for her to live without a man all this year’s and it actually hurts me to do this to her, but I had no fucking choice, I had to ruin this relationship before it gets more serious, I mean before she lets him into her pants. And judging by the way they were making out that night, I know it wouldn’t be too long before he gets into her pants. For fucks sake, he even invited her to his house and she was going to say yes if I hadn’t shown up in time.

I overheard them saying that they will hang out with the kids the next day, and since I couldn’t come up with a way to ruin her second date, I decided to use the kids against her. Yeah, I know that is simply stooping so low, but I’m just so desperate, so I got to do anything I can to stop them from getting too close to each other. The kids were asleep before she came back home from her dinner date, but when she walked into their room, they woke up immediately to be with her. I offered to put them back to sleep while she goes to her room to get out of her dress and freshen up. I used this as an opportunity to have a word with the kids. I decided to read them their favorite story, I picked up the book from their shelf and read them their favorite story but this time, I added a little dramatic effect and I made the villain in the story to look even more evil. Then I brought out a picture of Lawrence that I had on my phone and I showed it to them, telling them that he is the evil monster from their story. I knew the story could give them nightmares, and I decided to spend the night in their room to make them feel safe. Hillary came over to check on them but I told her I was going to take care of the kids tonight so she turned around and went back to her room. I read them the same story in the morning, I still used the same technique I used the night, trying to get them to gate this guy.

The truth is that I have no idea if it is going to work, but I did it anyway, and guess what?

It worked perfectly fine.

It worked better than I anticipated. Hillary took them to our restaurant for a dinner with Lawrence. But the. Lawrence appeared for the dinner date, and the kids cried out in fear, screaming,

“Monster!ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Monster!”

It was so damn embarrassing, and no matter what they did, the kids just wouldn’t stop. I made sure that Becky and Avril were too busy to help her out with the kids, I made myself unavailable as well, making it impossible for her to go on with that dinner date. She canceled her date that night and I was so excited to see that happen. My plan was that after all this is over, I’ll need to convince the kids that it was all a lie and monsters don’t exist, but Hillary beat me to it. Yes, she did, she made the kids like him again, and bin a few months, they were drawn to him again, especially when he gets them really cool presents.

I had to up my game. I had to make it impossible for them to go on dates alone and if they manage to get to their destination, I made it impossible for the date to end well, I always sabotaged their dates and it is becoming more obvious because Hillary is getting more and more annoyed by the day. I know she wants it to work between them and it hurts her to see all their dates going wrong, but I can’t help it. I have to do this for her and for the kids, when she finds out the reasons for my actions, she would thank me for it, I’m sure of that.

At first, I used the kids to stop her from going to meet the monster man, then when she found a way to sneak out without their knowledge, I resorted to crashing their dates or ruining their cars so they don’t arrive at their destination. I found out about his allergies, so I used it a few times to put an end to their dates. One time, I set fire in his company, and the other time I did the same thing in his kitchen. That took him away for a few days because he needs to get his things back together. But in a few days, he was back again and this time he made his security tighter in his house and in his office as well. There is no way for me to get him that easily anymore, my tricks are getting old and I am running out of ways to put an end to their dates. It’s been eight months already and she is not ready to back down from this relationship and neither is she. They are so determined to make it work and it is so frustrating because I have no idea what I’m supposed to do this time because they are having a date at his house tomorrow and I have no way of sabotaging their date this time around. I was still trying to find a way to penetrate into his building and ruin his plans for tomorrow, but it is not looking good at all and time is running out on me. Since I couldn’t find a way to sabotage his company, I decided to sabotage ours so that will keep Hillary from going to meet up with him. I was going to set one side of the store on fire or even the kitchen. I was about to head out of the house and put my plans in motion but I was stopped at the door by a voice behind me,

“Going somewhere, Miguel?” she asked me curiously, stopping me from taking another step.

“Yeah, I have something I need to take care of.” I responded swiftly, as I reached out for the door but her next words stopped me once more and I turned to her with guilt written all over my face,

“I know it is you, Miguel, I know you have tried to sabotage my relationship with Lawrence, but you have to stop right now. I have no idea why you are doing it and I don’t even want to know anymore because I have been patiently waiting for you to come to me and tell me why you don’t want me to be with him, but from the look of things, it is obvious that you don’t have any reasonable reason, you simply can’t let me live my life in peace, you just don’t want me to be happy and right now I am only going to tell you this once, it is enough, stop messing with my relationship, stop trying to get us to break up because I won’t let that happen and I won’t forgive you if Lawrence leaves me, I won’t Miguel, so please just stop already.” She yelled at me in anger, before turning around to head back inside. I feel so ashamed and I know that I have failed her, but I can’t tell her the truth, I just can’t do it yet because my brother would kill me if I do. This is so all so frustrating and annoying, I have no choice but to let her have her way. I’m sure that Nathan would understand, he would know that I tried my best, he would also understand that she has been too lonely, it’s not her fault and it’s certainly not mine. I wonder who he is going to blame for all this.
