Chapter 9 - BITTER, SAVAGE AND CRUELTY REALITY

The Anderson and Cartwright families, are the two most powerful and wealthy families in all of New Jersey. The reason why the two families are powerful and wealthy is because they have known how to use their money, without wasting it, and make both fortunes grow considerably. Also, there is the fact that both families have always gotten along well and their bond of friendship has grown stronger as the years have passed. For that reason, Jeremy and Giovanna Cartwright, are the godparents of Nathaniel Anderson and on the other hand, Cody and Caroline Anderson, are the godparents of Sookie Cartwright. Because of that, they have had strong clashes with various people and among them is the Bowman family. The Cartwright and Bowman family have always had many confrontations, but never like this. "Who do you think you are? How dare you sue me?" Jeremy Cartwright said, exploding with anger, seeing the notice of the lawsuit that charged him with embezzlement. Jeremy couldn't believe how shameless Edward Bowman is, and the worst part is that the embezzlers are the Bowman family. And not only that. The Bowman family, they have been stealing large amounts of money from the Cartwright family and they have made various illicit exports and all that, the Bowmans were suing Jeremy Cartwright. "You have committed all that, because my family and I, we have not committed any of that," said Edward Bowman, in a cynical and haughty tone.

 

 "Unlike you, I do have a way to prove my innocence. Instead, you've spent your entire life blackmailing people, that you have no moral worth right now," Jeremy Cartwright said, in the same cynical and haughty tone as Edward.  "We'll see. By the way, send my regards to your wife for me" Edward Bowman said cynically.  "And the same I tell you. And tell your wife that I still miss her," Jeremy Cartwright said, even more cynical. Edward left the office, slamming the door and insulting everyone who crossed his path. He couldn't believe that no matter what he did, he was never going to beat Jeremy and he had to do his best to see him defeated, because he wanted to keep his fortune and all his possessions. On the other hand, Jeremy couldn't calm down; far from it, controlling the immense anger she has towards Edward. He couldn't believe the cynicism that he had to go to his office, to sue him for something he didn't do. Edward was determined to prove his innocence and put Edward in jail, for all the crimes, scams, embezzlements and shady moves he has made against him and the company. Jeremy had the feeling that something bad could happen to him and his family; so, I had to do something, before it's too late. Vaguely, Jeremy recalled that two years ago the Bowman family had threatened him and his family that they would one day murder them and that they would not leave anyone alive.

 

 So, he decided to leave a video for his daughter, Sookie, and began by saying the following: "Sookie, my daughter, by the time you see this video, none of us, your family, will be there, by your side.  Sookie, my little princess, it saddens me to know that I will not be in any of the most important moments of your life, such as getting a job, falling in love, getting married and having children.  Have faith that, whatever happens, we will be guiding your steps at all times and that we will never leave you alone, because we will always be aware of you where we are.  You have to be strong and fill yourself with faith, strength and straighten up, for what the future holds for you and; so that, you can face all our enemies, because our murderers, knowing that you are alive, will look for you and will not rest until kill you.  Do not trust the police at all and everyone who "supposedly wants to help", because you are alone in this. You can only trust one family and it's the Andersons, no one else.  I am going to tell you the greatest of secrets and that is that your mother and I are first cousins ​​and we did not care about that, because we are deeply in love and the fruit of that immense love, you were born, my sweet angel.  Don't let anyone hurt you; much less, that they humiliate you, do not allow anyone to trample you, or that they lower you, as if you were not worth, because you are worth a lot.  Little princess, learn self-defense and everything that has to do with martial arts, because they will serve you and help you more than you think.

 

 Finally, my sweet angel, remember that now I live within your being and that means that you are extremely strong and that you can stand up to everyone.  Do not trust the Bowman family for any reason, because they are not the "distinguished family" they claim to be and are the murderers of your family.  Finally, we, your family, give you the blessing to marry Nathaniel Anderson and to be immensely happy.  Until next life, my daughter. Take care of yourself and always remember how much we love you"  This, along with the other videos and all the evidence that he had gathered against the Bowman family, had kept in his safe at Bank of America. The next day, Jeremy Cartwright called his best friend Cody Anderson, asking him to rush to the office.  "Good day friend. How have you been? What's the urgency?" Cody asked, shaking hands. "Good morning, my brother. My family and I are fine. The reason why I made you come as quickly as possible is to beg you to take your whole family and go away from the United States for a few years." Jeremy told him, knowing there was no other option but that. "Why? What happened for you to tell me that?" Cody asked him. "I will tell you absolutely everything that has happened until last week, so that you understand why you have to take your whole family and flee the United States," Jeremy said, sipping his black and unsweetened coffee.

 

 And he told him absolutely everything. While he was telling him, Cody couldn't believe the scope of the Bowman family. "What the fuck are you telling me? They really are cynical! I can't believe that's happening and they're blatantly cynical and opportunistic," Cody said, bursting with anger as he sipped his latte and sugar. "So, you see and now, we have to find a way to protect our family from them and all their evil," Jeremy said, angrier than Cody. Cody and Jeremy were planning everything, not knowing that their children Nathaniel and Sookie are madly in love and that they are already a couple. "OK, Jeremy. I will take my family away from the United States and you should do the same too. Don't waste time, buddy and get away from them as quickly as possible," Cody told him, as he made another coffee. "The truth is that we can no longer flee from the United States, because wherever we go, they will chase us and if they manage to find us, they will kill us and if they see us with you, they will also kill them. It is for that reason that we stay. We no longer have salvation," Jeremy said, with tears in his eyes. "Under no circumstances will I allow this! No, you come with us or we stay, you decide," said Cody annoyed, after hearing what Jeremy just said. "Cody, my friend, I want you to pay attention to the following: I want you to be saved, because I will do my best to save my daughter and I want you to take care of her, protect her and defend her.  I know that this task will not be easy at all, because my little princess is independent, willful, self - sufficient and does not like anyone telling her what to do.  But I want you to take care of her, as if I were taking care of her.

 

 It hurts me to know that I will not be in any of the most important moments of my daughter's life, but that is what you are for and I know that my baby will be in excellent hands. Please, my friend, I only trust you and only you can I ask you to protect my baby and to play with her the role of father that I will no longer be able to play," Jeremy ended, breaking into tears. "Friend, calm down. I will do exactly what you ask of me, but please calm down and let me help you, until I leave and I know that we will see you in the next life," said Cody, hugging his friend, while bursting into tears. "For now, I need you to take your whole family and get away from the United States. If you can leave today, I would be eternally grateful, if not, tomorrow." Jeremy told him, trying to calm himself down. "Ok, but we would leave tomorrow, because I have to sit my whole family down and explain the reasons why we left the United States and for how long would it be?" Cody asked, also trying to calm down. "It would be at least ten years that they would be away and after that time, they would return without any problem," Jeremy told him, as he handed him a glass of brandy. "Why ten years?" Cody asked, sipping brandy. "Because it is the time that I am thinking that they would forget about the existence of you completely and they would make their lives, as if nothing," Jeremy told him, taking his glass of brandy. "Long time. But I will do exactly what you ask of me and rest assured that I will watch over and protect your daughter and for that, I would have to look for her first," Cody replied, while he ran his hands through his hair.

 

 "I'm really sorry and I really wanted none of this to have happened, but it did happen," Jeremy said. After that, they said their goodbyes and before Cody left, Jeremy gave him a sealed box. "What is it?" Cody asked, intrigued by what is inside the box. "Here is all the evidence against the Bowman family and everything they have been doing for these forty years. I want you to have it and for it to be your passport to freedom and use it when you see fit." Jeremy finished saying, calmer. "Take care of yourself my friend and I swear to you that I will take care of your daughter and I will make sure that nothing bad happens to her," Cody said, while giving his friend a big hug. "Take care of yourself too my friend and thank you for everything. I know that my daughter will be in good hands," Jeremy replied. Cody left, taking the box Jeremy gave him with him. As he was walking away, Cody said to himself "I can't believe this is happening" "Someday, they will pay dearly for the damage they have caused." Before Cody left the building, Jeremy managed to catch up with him. When he got to him, he gave him an envelope and said the following: "Cody, my friend, here are the instructions of what my daughter has to do so that fortune will return to her and if she does not want it, what give it to your son. If at that time, Nathaniel and my daughter are a couple, only he can take possession of my family's fortune, as long as my daughter does not want the inheritance.

 

 I don't want anyone to pressure her, I want it to be my little princess's decision; so, when the moment you manage to find my daughter, please give her this envelope for me. If you want to read it, you can. What's more, come to your home or your office, open this envelope and you will understand everything and thank you very much, my friend for everything," Jeremy finished saying. "Now I'm going to the house and I'm going to open the letter, to see what it's about and after that, I'll call you or I'll go to your house, so you can explain all this well to me," he said, pointing to the letter. "Okay. I will be waiting for your call and again my friend, thank you very much ", said Jeremy, calmer and calmer. "Don't worry, I'm going to your house today, I think it's the best thing to do," said Cody, just as calm and calm as Jeremy. Cody went directly to the house, to his office and once seated, he decided to open the letter. In the letter it said the following: "Little Princess, when you read this letter, it means that all your family including me, we are no longer there, with you.  If you are reading this letter, it will mean that you are a beautiful woman, independent and of a steel character.  My sweet angel! How we would have liked to be there for you, but we can't, because the Bowman family will have killed us.  Little princess, please take good care of yourself and don't trust anyone; especially, don't trust the Bowman family at all, because they are insensitive and have no respect for anyone.

 

 In this envelope, you will find an address, go as fast as possible to and there, a lady named Cynthia Irving will be waiting for you.  She will give you a package and that package is the proof to sink the Bowman family forever.  You will decide the fate of that family and not the police and there is another person you can trust and his name is "Navajas".  He knows of your existence, do not run away from him please little princess and turn to him and your godfather Cody Anderson, if you find yourself in trouble.  Never doubt how much we love you. If by that time, you fell in love with Nathaniel Anderson, count on our blessing to join him in marriage.  Little princess, remember the following: through your veins and through your blood, my veins and my blood are running, because you are me and that is why I tell you to do what you do, go with a leaden foot.  Never show how fragile you are. It always shows that you are an iceberg and that nothing and no one will manage to bend you, because you have your principles and your pride.  From this moment on, it will be your turn to fend for yourself. But that does not mean that you will be unprotected. I already took care of that.  Whatever happens, find Henry Noble and he will give you your share of the money.  I think by that time, he will have already searched and found you and if so, I am glad with all my heart.  Well my sweet angel that's all I have to tell you apart from how much I love you and how important you are to each of us.  I love you my daughter and I will never stop loving you; like, your whole family. Take good care of yourself and remember that, on the day they killed me, I was reborn in you. Kisses,Father.  Cody couldn't stop crying and didn't know what to do or think about it, because this letter exceeded all of his expectations. Now, he felt that he could not leave his friend alone, but he wants him to live, to protect his only daughter. He was between a rock and a hard place. He needed to calm down, to think with a cold mind what to do and the only thing that occurred to him was to go to his friend's house, so that he could explain the letter to him. And that he did. Cody left his house, to go directly to Jeremy's house. When he got home, he heard that everyone was crying uncontrollably; so, I didn't know whether to come in or come back tomorrow. When he was about to leave, Jeremy comes out and stops him. He asks him to come into the house; Which, Cody does and once inside, Cody has a long and extensive conversation with the Cartwright family. Everyone asks Cody that, although Sookie is difficult, because she is equal to Jeremy, to protect her and try to defend her. They also told him that Navajas is Sookie's uncle and he is in hiding, because he will be the only relative who will be alive, to protect, defend and fight for Sookie's well-being. "What did you just say? Navajas, the rapist, is Sookie's uncle?" Cody asked, incredulous and not knowing what to think about it. "That's how it is my friend. Razors, he's Sookie's uncle, my older brother", Jeremy replied, begging him with his eyes to calm down. "None of us are happy with the idea that he will take care of our Sookie, but we don't have time to look for anyone else. Besides, Cody, you have your own family and it doesn't seem fair to us that you take care of Sookie and we are aware that your family would never allow that" said Giovanna, Jeremy's wife. "Well, that is not their decision, but mine and they will have to accept it," Cody said, sure of the decision he was making. "We would never allow you to take over Sookie. We know that your family, including you, are good and noble, but we cannot ask you for such a burden.  Also, if the press finds out about this, your reputation and that of your family will go downhill; so, no. Even if we don't like it, Navajas, he will take care of Sookie and he will give her in marriage," said Sookie's grandmother. Sookie's grandfather showed up with a wide variety of Italian and American sweets and enough latte for everyone who was there at the time. "Good night, Cody. By your face, you will have already learned that, Navajas, will take care of the care, protection and safety of Sookie and that he will give her in marriage. He and only he will decide who Sookie marries." Sookie's grandfather ended up saying. "Goodnight Mr. That's right, I'm learning the whole truth here and it's not easy to digest," Cody said, stunned and unable to react. They talked for a longer time and before Cody left, Grandpa said the following: "Jeremy, my son, I managed to prove your innocence and Edward is in jail.  Now more than ever, we have to expedite everything, before he gets out of jail, because he swore that as soon as he gets out of jail, he would take revenge on us and that we would not live any longer", concluded the grandfather.  "Daddy and family, don't worry, everything is ready. He may be able to kill us, but Sookie and Navajas will be the only ones in our family, who will be alive and will never be able to with them," Jeremy finished saying. Unbeknownst to Jeremy, his own father injected him and immediately, he fell to the ground. "Cody, take Jeremy with you and away from the United States. Jeremy, you and your family will travel to France today and please listen to me and travel today.  I don't want Navajas to be Sookie's legal guardian and that's why I did what I just did.  I want this stubborn to continue being Sookie's legal guardian and it is him who decides the fate of my sweet granddaughter and not Navajas", concluded the grandfather. "Thank you sir and we are leaving, before Jeremy wakes up and gets stubbornly not wanting to get away from you; not much less, Sookie, or his wife," said Cody, sad, for the end that the Cartwright family are going to have.  "Before you go, let me see Jeremy one last time," said Giovanna, already beginning to cry. After watching him for a few minutes, Giovanna said the following:  "Love, it saddens me to have to say goodbye to you in this way, but I know that it is for the best and you are the only one, besides Navajas, to protect our Little Princess. Live for her, if you don't want to live for yourself, because Sookie is the fruit of great love and for her, you have to live. I love you and I will love you forever", Giovanna finished saying, while she gave Jeremy a sweet kiss on the mouth. Each of the family members began to say goodbye to Jeremy, with tears in their eyes and when they finished saying goodbye to him, Cody took him away. Once he and Jeremy were in the car, Cody saw the Cartwright house for the last time and stared at it for half an hour and after that he left. Along the way, Cody injected Jeremy with several sleeping pills, so that he does not wake up and they can travel today, far from the United States. At home, Nathaniel had to arrive, to be able to travel. When Nathan got home, they noticed that he was immensely happy, singing, whistling and dancing. They all stared at him and unable to understand what or to whom this change was due, they decided to observe him in silence. After an hour, they decided to give him the sad news; So, they sat him down and began to tell him the reasons why they have to travel at that time, far from the United States. "I don't want to travel, I want to stay," Nathan said really annoyed. "Son, it will only be for a few years and after that, we will return to our country," Cody said, trying to calm his son.  "I don't want to leave and that's it," Nathan said, yelling. "You leave me no choice but to do what I have planned to do," said Cody, holding his son tightly, to inject him with sleeping pills, so that he falls asleep and they can travel. Cody did that to his son, not knowing that Nathan already has a crush. They packed everything as quickly as possible and went to the airport and from there, to France.
