Chapter 45 Back Home

• 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.
