Chapter 43 The Caribbean

• Nathan’s POV
• “I thought you were the better grandson, but you are more despicable than your brother, Travis. You are not the Nathan I used to know, you are a poisonous viper a dangerous creature. Your brother was right, you should have died on that island, you should never have escaped. You think you have it all figured out, you think you can defeat Travis and lead the family, but you are so wrong, Nathan, you will die trying and you will die in a very painful way. That is my only desire, I wish to see you shoot yourself in the foot, I wish to see you burn. You disgraced me and our entire family, you brought my secret out in the open, you ruined my relationship with my childhood friends and you didn’t do it for the family, you did it for yourself, you only did it to get back at me for choosing to take side with Travis. You never bothered to ask yourself why I chose Travis over you, you never thought of the reasons why I decided to give you up and support your brother. For one thing, Travis is not as reckless and stupid as you are, he would never have disgraced our family in public and he would never have acted on impulse just to satisfy his anger. He is a better leader than you’ll ever be, he thinks like a businessman and he acts like one too. Even if you get accepted by the whole family, I would never accept you as leader Nathan, I would never forgive you.” Gramps yelled at me after his friends Conor and Elsa left the house.
• I can see that he is simply trying to provoke me before the family elders, he is saying these hateful words to me because he wants to provoke a reaction out of me, he wants them to see me as a lunatic, and he wants me to lose my credibility before the elders, he wants them to hate me so they can reject me in his presence. He must think that I’m really stupid, I spent so much time tome on that island, and now that I’m back, I’m stronger and wiser, I won’t let myself to be outsmarted by an old angry man. Yes, he is angry because I just disgraced him before the whole family, but from what I can see, I think I just did him a huge favor because I could tell that some of the elders already knew about his secrets. When I told them about it, some were shocked as hell while some didn’t have any reaction to the news. These are the ones that side with Travis and I made a mental note to keep a close eye on them. Besides, I just freed him from a lifetime of guilt and penance, he should be grateful to me because I just saved him the stress of getting blackmailed by someone else, and I also just saved him from spending the rest of his life in jail for this heinous crime.
