The Billionaire 3: Tyron Cruz novel Chapter 34

A week later, Isabella and Tyron visited the old Don on his villa.

“Grandpa, how are you?” Isabella asks as she hugs Don Samuel. “I hope you are not being handful to Uncle Ricardo and everyone here.”

“Old habits never die, Bella.” Ricardo said and the Don slightly hit him with his cane. “That hurts, dad.” Ricardo said.

After she was discharged in the hospital, the Don told her another secret that he’s been keeping for a long time. Ricardo is his son and the younger brother of her father. He was kidnapped at a young age, and even though Don Samuel gave the ransom, he never saw his son again.

‘We just learned the truth before your father died.’ The Don said. ‘We were supposed to introduced Ricardo to the public but the incident happened.’

‘That is why you trusted us to him.’ Isabella said, everything make sense now, no wonder her grandfather is so worried when they can’t contact Ricardo. ‘You’re really related to me.’ Isabella said.

‘I’m sorry, Bella, I wanted to tell you the truth but you might push me away.’ Ricardo said.

‘You are right.’ Isabella smiles. ‘But I am happy that we are now complete now, and I can’t wish for more.’

Isabella smiles as she watches his grandfather and uncle bickering.

“Isabella, please tell dad to rest.” Ricardo tells her, “He only listens to you.” He pleads.

“What is wrong if I help out around the villa?” Don Samuel asks.

Isabella sighs and clings to Don Samuel. “Grandpa, you better listen to Uncle Ricardo.”

“But—”

“No, buts, grandpa.” Isabella sternly said. “There is nothing wrong with helping but you tend to over work. Uncle Ricardo will surely not overreact if you’re not overworking yourself.”

“Bella is right, dad.” Ricardo sighs. “You are still recovering for Pete’s sake!”

“I am just making sure that they will treat you right, Ricardo.” The Don sighs. Upon hearing this, they already get the gist why the old Don is still moving around instead of resting.

“Dad, they are treating me right.” Ricardo said. “They see me the same as they see you.”

“I am just making sure, hijo. I don’t want to lose another son.” Don Samuel said.

Ricardo sighs and holds one of the Don’s hand. “Dad, you will not lose me nor Bella or anyone else dear to you.”

“In fact, we have someone to join our family.” Tyron smiles and glances at Ricardo. “Uncle Ricardo is finally settling down.”

“At last! I thought he will never settle down, but it never come to mind that the reason why he is still not married is because of me and my mom. His lover thought that he’s cheating on her.” Isabella said.

“Well, that’s in the past now.” Ricardo said.

“But I am so sorry, Uncle, if it wasn’t because of us, you will witness how your son grew up.” Isabella said. When the news broke out about Tyron’s death, Ricardo’s name is added on the fatalities and his lover, Angie watched it.

“It’s okay, Bella.” Ricardo said. “I explained it already to Angie and she understand the situation. She and your little cousin wanted to meet you.”

“Really?” Isabella asks in delight. “Oh, but I don’t know how to deal with them, especially to Anthony, I mean, I rob the time he was supposed to spend with you.”

“He is actually a huge fan of yours.” Ricardo said.

“Why don’t we invite them for dinner tomorrow, Bella?” Tyron suggested.

“That would be wonderful!” Isabella said in delight before turning to her uncle. “What do you think, uncle?”

“I’m sure Angie and Anthony would love to, but can we just hold the dinner here? I’m worried that dad will be exhausted.”

“Of course.” Tyron said. “By the way, the reason why we came here today is to return the company to you, Don Samuel.” Tyron said. “What my grandfather did is shameful but I want to make it right this time.” He said as he handed the folder. “I already talked with my lawyer about it.”

“Hold on a minute—” The Don said while flipping the documents. “You don’t need to do this, Tyron.” The Don said, frowning.

“The company was taken from you, Don Samuel, and the right thing to do is to return it back to the rightful owner, especially now that Uncle Ricardo is here, your rightful heir.” Tyron said.

“Hold on, Tyron.” Ricardo said. “Even if the company will be under my name, I don’t think I can manage it well, besides I don’t have the drive to do so, I am happier here in the villa, managing the farm and everything else.”

“You heard him, Tyron.” The Don said and slide the folder back to them. “That company originally is both mine and your grandfather in the first place, and when he single-handedly managed it, it grown so much that I expected, besides, the company is doing well under your reign.”

“But still—”

“No buts, Tyron, if you return the company to us, who will manage it?” The Don asks. “I am old and still recovering…” He said as he glances at Ricardo.

“And I don’t want to manage it.” Ricardo added and glances at Isabella.

“Oh, if you still want to return it then I guess what is left is me? It will be a matter of time that I will declare bankruptcy.” Isabella said.
