"Unc, I really don't have time for this game you're trying to play. What is going on? Why were you snooping around Nina's house and what is in that suitcase?" Trent yells.

His nostrils are flaring and the intense glare he is sending my way could make the president have second thoughts about crossing his path.

I've never seen my nephew so angry. I don't know if it's because all of this has to do with Nina or if he's just upset about that text I sent him off of her phone. If he acts this way towards some of the rip off business men we come in contact with, I won't have anything to worry about.

"Calm down. I'm going to explain everything to you when we get to my house. There are eyes and ears everywhere." I state scanning the area.

Leonardo believes that I'm a senile old man, but I'm going to prove him wrong. He thinks that I don't know that Vivian is working for him, but that just shows that he doesn't know me well.  Each and every day, my love for Vivian is diminishing and my number one priority is keeping Nina safe.

I drag the suitcase towards my vehicle parked a couple of feet away from Anderson's house. I decided to go with my middle-class car today since it brings less attention to myself.

After making sure that the suitcase is secured and ready to go, I pull off of their street.

Trent left so abruptly that he is probably already at my house. I can tell that he is upset with me and he will be even more upset after he finds out the truth.

Pulling into my driveway, I open the gate and stare at the beauty of my house. This place was for Vivian and I.  I can imagine a young  Nina running around the estate, playing with the housekeepers, and even attempting to help out in the kitchen.

Trent taps angrily on the window, causing my thoughts to vanish.

"Sorry I was thinking about something." I mumble exiting the car.

"I really don't care." He replies bluntly.

His rude comments don't phase me at all. The three most important things are the company, my daughter's safety, and what lies within this suitcase.

"We should go inside." I sigh carying the luggage towards the house.

His smart comments cease as we enter the house.  It smells exactly like Vivian. Even though she's with Leonardo, I'm still able to remeber what she was like when she was mine.

"Follow me" I say before Trent can sit down on the living room sofa.

He suprisingly obliges. What Trent is about to see will either make him or break him. I just hope it doesn't cause him to hate his mother and I for lying to him all these years.

We enter into my office and I lead him behind my huge mahogany desk.

"Are you sure you're ready for this?" I ask raising an eyebrow.

The glare he gives me makes me more aggravated than I already am. He doesn't have to be so cranky. Out of everyone,  he should know that I won't let anything/anyone harm Nina.

Does he really want to act like an ungrateful child? When he finds out the truth who is going to be there to answer all of his questions?

Kneeling down by my desk, I open the door that is hidden beneath the wooden floor.

"Go on down. I don't want you to get hurt." I smirk.

He hesitantly places his foot through the hole and pulls it back up with a shocked expression on his face.
