Soon the questions started pouring in. "Sir, what are your plans on getting the building back?""Mr. Alex, this is the second time your company building is collapsing. Does this mean that you are using low quality raw materials and they can't withstand the weather conditions of our state?""Sir, some people believe that this is actually an inside work. They believe that the building was made to collapse by your rivals. How true is this?" Immediately, Damien raised his hand for the reporters to maintain silence and him and Alex sat down. "Please you need to stay calm. We understand that you have a lot of questions but first, we would like to address some matters before you can start asking all the questions that you actually wish to. But for now, please just stay calm and listen," Damien said, calming the roaring crowd and giving room for Alex to speak. "And let me just add this, if during this speech, we are being interrupted by any reporter with their questions, such a reporter wi
"Let's cheers to the success. You know for a second there, I did not think that we were going to make it but of course we sailed through," a man whose face was hidden behind the shade provided by the curtain said. One could hear the happiness in his voice as he spoke and no one dared question him. The room itself was dark but one could see the faces of the five other men who sat with suits on what appeared to be a round table. From a golden cup, they drank what could be termed as wine even though it looked much more red than normal red wines do.At the side sat a young man, not older than 24 looking at the crowd that filled the room with horror, wishing he could be anywhere but there. The young boy was none other than Billy. "Billy, come on now. You have to join us in this celebration. It's not everyday that you get a win like this." Paying more attention to the voice of the man who spoke in the dark, it was none other than his father and Billy was slowly getting scared of the old m
"What is this?" He said with so much anger once he saw Alex face."It's a live press conference, sir. And I think you will be interested to know what the man has been saying." The young boy said as he played the video. "So Mr. Alex, do you know that lots of people were hurt during this and some people even lost their lives? Have do you plan to make this up to the families involved because I hear that you only want to give them $1,000 for medical bills, ""What? I can assure you of this, we will not stoop so low as to giving that kind of money to people that we know really need our help. My company understands that this incident has affected so many lives and we will not just stand by and watch them suffer alone. We will go out of our way to help. For those injured, I gathered we have about 10 people who have been injured and we will be taking care of their medical bills till they recover and for the two people that were pronounced dead, we will visit their homes and ensure that we gi
Knowing fully well that he will not be able to get more patterns especially since he was broke, Daniel slowly let go of his son but not without the promise of going to ruin the boy's life. "If I eventually find out that you are the one behind all of this, I will make sure you suffer terribly for it and by the time I get done with you, you will not believe what is going to happen." He said angrily and moved away. "Good, now call the boys of yours and let us know exactly where this problem is coming from." The men all said and waited for him to make the call. Daniel called the leader of the gang and remembered how he was a feared leader of this gang till Alex took his company and left him with nothing. The only reason he wasn't removed was because they all had a shared hatred for Alex and he had promised them that if they did not allow him to still be their leader then he will not share his plans on how to ruin the boy. Daniel's big idea was to be ruin his company by making people los
Daniel saw as the men who gathered the table sat and thought about it. He did not understand if he should talk or keep shut till he was sure of what to say. After a while, they spoke. "you need to stay outside so that we can talk about this at length. We won't just rush to make this decision." "Okay," Daniel said eager to please them and he dragged Billy as he went out. Billy stood quietly, not saying a single word to him but all he did was watch and look at how badly the man had fallen. "Are you really just going to stand there and not say a single word to me?" His father asked."Why should I say anything to you, so that you can use that an accuse me once again. No thank, I'll pass " "Look, I am sorry for overreacting in there but try and understand this with me. I am not looking for any problems with this people. The reason we still have what to eat is because of them." "How are we able to eat dad?" Billy asked with his hands behind his back. "What do you mean?" His father ans
Billy went in with his father. He was so sure that the man was going to be humilated and he could not afford to miss such a beautiful event at all. He had something better in mind. He was desperate to see how his father would fall. Also, he wanted to know if he would actually need to keep the video or not. If those men turned out to be stupid and did not know what to do with their money and as such hired him back, he would keep the video and then when the time was right, probably when his father decided to threaten him again, he would not waste time to let everyone know what he did behind their backs. "Please sir Daniel," the men said politely and he sat down shakily. "Well we have thought about it for a long time and we figured that you have lost it and we cannot be working with someone who was one living on the high side of life. It's obvious that you don't know what you are doing and you are just wasting our resources and money. So we have decided to leave you out of our future
Alex swirled around on his seat with his head popped up, his eyes closed and with a smile on his face. He could hear everything that was happening around him. He could even head as Damien kept answering phone calls that he placed on speaker. Everyone was excited with the improvements he had made in the company and they could not wait to get start working with him again. Alex even heard new and influential people eager to sign a contract with him or award them with a contract but Damien was wise enough to not collect anything from them. He told all of the new clients that they had an onboarding process that they had to go through and he would not be able to actually work with them except they went through the same Onboarding process. "I didn't know we had an onboarding process." Alex spoke out when he ended the call. "Well there is a possibility that we don't actually have one and I am just saying this because I want to get to know them better and not sell ourselves cheap." "Well t
Alex hoped that it was a lie. He stared at Andres, hoping that the man would burst out in laughter any minute but that did not happen. The man never laughed and he did not even find anything he was saying amusing. How could he have been so blinded by love? Alex thought to himself as he used his hands to ruffle his hair. The knock on the door persisted and soon, tired of Nancy behaving that way, he screamed "come in Nancy!" But it wasn't Nancy that came in. It was Aurora, walking like an innocent girl desperate to get any sort of sympathy. Alex had none for her. Just by looking at her, he could feel his blood boiling. He wanted nothing more than to make her suffer for what she was putting him through but the young man had better plans lined up for her. He would not show fear, neither would he allow her to know that he knew what she was up to but he was going to make sure that she never had that edge over him again. "How can I help you?" He asked sternly and the young woman shivered a
