Chapter 44 Lies And Deceit

  • Raymond POV
  • It has been three years and six months since the plane crash. At first, I thought we were never going to make it out of that island alive because Nathan was such a lazy foul that just wouldn’t follow my instructions. He tried getting away from me and he almost got us killed, more than once. Damn, it was so difficult to work with him and I nearly considered the idea of leaving him to fend for himself while I get myself off that fucking island, but I banished those ideas as quickly as they came, I couldn’t fail in this task because my families good name was at stake, our honor needs to be restored and Nathan was our best bet at recovering everything we lost when the elderly Nathan kicked us out of the family. I’m glad I did not abandon this mission, I’m glad I did not disappoint my family and my brother, Miguel. It gives me great joy to look at the man that Nathan Trent has become and I must admit that I am super proud of him. Not only does he know how to defend himself, but he now understands how the world works and now he knows better than to ignore his responsibilities. He now thinks carefully before he acts and he makes his decision without sentiments or bias. He has all the gangs and cartels under his belt, all except for the Schwartz brothers, and they too would come around because if they don’t, the other gangs would turn against them and it wouldn’t be nice at all.
  • That is the only reason why Nathan has not declared them rogue, he still believes that they may still come around and accept them, he doesn’t want to make a proclamation that would cause war on the streets because many innocent lives would be lost if that happens. He is just playing smart, giving Robert Schwartz enough time to think carefully and come back to his senses. Nathan is about to finish his training with the elders of the Trent household, but I’ve not been able to get a quiet time with the old man, he has been avoiding Nathan since he got disgraced and exposed. He just keeps to himself and goes about his business, acting like we don’t exist. Nathan is cool with his attitude, as long as it doesn’t affect the handover ritual and his training, then he is cool with it. I would have been cool with it as well but I don’t trust the old Trent, I never have and I never will. I followed Nathan's instructions and I let him be and I kept my nose out of his business, but he did not extend the same hand of courtesy, he didn’t stay out of our business. I caught the old man one day making a secret call with a burner phone that he always keeps hidden away below the floorboards of his office. He thought he was alone and so he spoke freely, speaking to his other grandson, Travis Trent. I squatted by the blinds and I listened to his conversation with Travis and it got me so fucking pissed as I realized that the old man was still trying to help Travis, he was giving him tips on how to defeat Nathan. He advised Travis to make Nathan’s death an open contract so any thug or hoodlum on the street would be interested in the job. So apart from the Schwartz brothers, Nathan would still have a bunch of thugs on his tail and it’s all thanks to his grandfather.
