530 Punish Her Daughter

“We must prevent disasters like that from happening, hence the warning has been issued and if their clan doesn’t respond to that, you can rest assured that the commission will have no sure but to step in,” Eric spoke into the phone just as the door to his office was opened and his assistant and second in command, Jason, stepped in.

Upon seeing him, Eric said to the caller from the other end, “We would talk later,” And he ended the call, pushing the phone into the pocket of his pants.

He turned to face Jason,

“What is it?”

Without a word, Jason stepped forward and placed a transparent folder on his desk and Eric stared at him questioningly, brows raised.

“It is the information you wanted on the girl,” Jason reminded him.

The moment his assistant mentioned the girl, Eric stiffened and the atmosphere in the room changed instantly. He lifted his grave expression. instructing his assistant,

“Close the door,”

The information he was about to read was about Natalie’s daughter and he didn’t want anyone eavesdropping on the conversation he was about to hold in here. Until he was through, he would be the one to break the news to Natalie and didn’t want her finding out by chance else she feels betrayed.

.....

With the door closed and knowing that it was only him and Jason, his trusted assistant, Eric pulled out the files and began to read them. At first, it was only mere anticipation on his face, but the further he read, it was replaced by sheer curiosity, but not long after, the blood drained from his face and there was nothing but dread on his face.

Eric staggered back from the shock of what he saw on the papers. He didn’t know how he read the rest of them because his hands holding the papers were shaking so terribly it would have slipped from his hands, but they didn’t. And by the time Eric was done reading, he let the paper fall from his hands, looking so damn confused.

From the calm look on Jason’s face, Eric could already surmise that he knew everything on this paper which wasn’t surprising since he was the one who gathered the information in the first place. Eric stood at that spot with no clue what to do, he was bewildered, what did he just read?

He then ran his hand through his hair, ruffling it till it was disheveled and it looked like he was losing his mind. Or maybe, he had really lost his mind? Eric didn’t know which one shocked the most, the fact that Natalie’s daughter was currently with the son of the man who had made her life a living hell, or the fact that his brother was in love with the daughter of the woman he wanted to marry or the fact that both Daniel’s son, Marcel, and his brother, Elijah were both in love with Natalie’s, daughter, Arianna.

No, no, this was fucking crazy, Eric laughed out loud. He began to laugh so hard that even Jason became scared that his boss had lost his mind. What was he going to do? Should he call Natalie to help with what was going on? However, Jason didn’t get the chance to decide because Eric’s laughter gurgled to a halt.

The laughter died off and all that was left inside of Eric was hot, boiling anger. Was this a fucking joke or what? The universe must be fucking him or something! Without a second thought, Eric swept everything on his desk to the floor. He was livid! He wanted to burn everything, no, the world to the ground.

Eric was a boiling cauldron of anger, but the annoying part was that he didn’t know who, or what he was angry at. He bet that Elijah didn’t even know that he was dating the mother of the young maiden he was desperately fighting for, because he hadn’t returned home. No, he cut off communication with them and didn’t know he was marrying Natalie, Arianna’s mother.

Eric was sandwiched between guilt and anger. Guilt in the sense that he knew deep down inside of him that he wouldn’t give up Natalie for Elijah to have a shot of happiness with Arianna, no, he was too selfish for that and he had waited for far too long for Natalie only to have the opportunity snatched away from him by his brother?

No, that was not going to happen.

As the eldest brother and child, he had already made a lot of sacrifices for the family, but Natalie was out of the question. He was not giving her up. Elijah was still young and had many other opportunities at love, but Natalie was meant for him alone. Elijah should find another.

And that as well resulted in the anger Eric was feeling. As the eldest child, it was his role to resolve conflict and put the family together, not destroy it. But what would happen now when Elijah learns the truth? Would his younger brother back down or would everyone expect him to give in as usual?

Most of all, if Arianna feels the same way Elijah feels strongly for her, then it was game over because Natalie would back down for her. The woman already felt too much guilt for abandoning her daughter over the years, if she learns that Arianna loved Elijah, she would sacrifice her own love for them. It would be her making up for her daughter for all those years – And Eric didn’t even want to think about it.

As if that wasn’t enough, her daughter was with Marcel, Daniel’s son. From the information so far, it seems that Marcel was ignorant of the past and only held her hostage. But that didn’t ease Eric, because even without Marcel ending Arianna’s life and all, what if Daniel finds out about her identity? That psychopath would take out all of his anger on her. He would punish her for her mother’s crimes.

Natalie can’t find out about this.

Eric lifted his bloodshot eyes at Jason,

“I don’t care how you do it, but get me, Elijah, here as soon as possible!”
