The Billionaire 3: Tyron Cruz novel Chapter 23

“It’s good that you find time to come, Tyron.” Gabriel said as Tyron takes a seat.

“This is important to me and my family… and also the Morgan’s, I cannot let this pass.” Tyron said.

“I suggest you brace yourself for the result of the investigation. I, myself, can’t even believe it so I had to double… no, triple check everything.” Gabriel said making him frown and curious at the same time.

“What do you mean?” Tyron asks.

“Before everything, knowing you, I am sure that you confront Don Samuel about your father’s death.” Gabriel said and he nods in agreement. “Can you tell me what he said.”

“Of course, he denied the accusation and he is saying that someone is behind it and their target is his son. It is just unfortunate that my father is meeting with him that night.” He said. “But I don’t know what to believe, Gab. It is hard to believe that my father will meet up with him, if it might be true, what is his purpose? Why would they meet?” Tyron asks in despair.

He still remembers that night when they learned about his father’s death—his mother collapse upon the news and he and his older brother cried their eyes out.

“Before anything else, from whom did you learned about your father’s death? And did you learn about it the next day or exactly that night?” Gabriel asks again. “And who told you that Don Samuel Morgan is the one who killed your father?”

Tyron is confused as to why his friend is asking him those questions but he still did answer him truthfully as what he remembers that night.

“That night, Uncle Fred, my dad’s older brother suddenly barged in the house and told us that father is dead and the culprit is Don Samuel.” Tyron answers. “It is also that very night that Uncle Fred told me and my brother about how the feud between the two families started that is why I grew up with much hatred against the Don. There is no day that I keep thinking on how to avenge my father…” Tyron clenches his fist.

“Then Isabella enters the picture, and the Don bait you with his company.” Gabriel said.

“Yes, when the Don made that proposal, I thought that is my chance to avenge my father and to get back what really is ours. But somehow, the thought of hurting Isabella breaks my heart.” He confesses. “The more time I spend with her, the happier I become to the point of even forgetting about getting my revenge.”

“You fell in love with your wife.” Gabriel said firmly making him smile.

“You have no idea how much I detest her when I found out that she conspires with her grandfather to deceive me. But that didn’t last long, the moment I heard that the old Don is hospitalize, I can’t help not to drag Isabella to the hospital to see the old Don, and I don’t know why I did that; maybe it is to see Don Samuel on his miserable state or because I want Isabella to be with him even just for a moment.” Tyron sighs. “I detest him with all my life then all of the sudden, after listening to his side, I begin doubting my hatred towards him. Is it because of Isabella or it is because he sounds so sincere…? I don’t know anymore, Gab.”

“Maybe because you felt his sincere heart, Tyron.” Gabriel said. “He is telling the truth, man. He has nothing to do with the death of your father and his son.” He added making him laugh bitterly.

“Then I wasted my time and energy hating the wrong person.”

“The reason why I asked you those questions earlier is because I want to know who put the blame on Don Samuel. And it turns out to be your Uncle.” Gabriel said with hesitation. “Before we continue this conversation, I want you to watch this CCTV footage.” Gabriel added as he his laptop towards Tyron.

The video is years old and he doesn’t know how did Gabriel obtained it but he can clearly see a familiar man breaking his way unto the parked car and left in a hurry few minutes later. Then after a while he saw two familiar figures approaching the same car—it was no other than his father and Isabella’s. The two men are happy talking to each other and entered the car, then they drove off.

“Do you know the man who break into the car?” Gabriel asks.

Tyron nodded as he can’t believe what he saw. “It was no other than Henry, the right hand of…. He is the right hand of Uncle Fred.” He manages to answer with a heavy heart.

“I’m sorry to say this… I know that you deeply respect your Uncle Fred that is why I am really hesitant to tell you about the result of the investigation, but I can’t just let you live believing a total lie. Don Samuel is suffering for years for being accused of something he didn’t do, and aside from that his life is also being targeted.” Gabriel said examining his friend. “I am guessing that Don Samuel already told you the reason why they put up an act about kicking his daughter-in-law and granddaughter out of the house after the death of his son.”

Tyron sighs before nodding. “Tell me honestly, is Uncle Fred the mastermind?”

Gabriel sternly looks at him before answering, “Yes, unfortunately. I double checked everything and every evidence is pointing at him.”

“Oh gosh!” Tyron exclaimed as he clenched both his fist. “The enemy is closer than I thought, but how could he kill his own brother?” He asks clenching his jaw.

“His only target is the sole heir of Don Samuel, he miscalculated that your father will join don Samuel’s heir that night.” Gabriel answers as he opens a thick folder and handed it to Tyron. “Those are the results of my investigation. And to tell you honestly, you are in a great danger.” Gabriel firmly said. “Your Uncle is keeping his watch on you and Isabella when news broke out that you two are getting along well. I already appointed men to keep watch on him and it seems that he is planning to kill you.”
