“Sir, you got an email from the chief minister. I just found it now.” Rahul said as he walked into the technical room with a laptop in his hand.An email from the chief minister? Arjun wondered. “What does it say?” He asked.“It says that the chief minister wishes to see you at his office in two days.” Rahul read aloud.Arjun smirked after listening to Rahul. He’s inviting me to his den all of a sudden. I wonder what’s going on in that mind of his.“But sir...” Rahul hesitation to speak snapped Arjun out of his thoughts.“Yes?” “Sir I just found the message now. But it has been delivered in your email for the past two days.” Rahul lowered his head for the incoming scolding.“Don’t worry, i won’t scold you.” Arjun smiled at Rahul who raised his head to see his boss’s smile.“But don’t make such a mistake again.” Arjun let him off with a warning.“I won’t do it again, thank you sir.” Rahul smiled softly. “So if I’m correct, I’m supposed to meet with the chief minister today?” Arjun
The CM saw Arjun was in thought and then decided to persuade him even more.“Think about it. Together with Nexumcore and you becoming a vice president you’ll be practically unstopabble. You’d be so powerful.” Arjun scoffed, “Do you think i’m power hungry or something? If i wasn’t powerful, i wouldn’t be in your office right now, listening to you trying so hard to persuade me to disable my robot. So cut the crap.I’m not interested in becoming the vice president. Keep the power and status to yourself, okay? Silly man”The CM was infuriated by Arjun’s words but he maintained his cool, he still wanted to give it one more shot.“Mr Arjun, Just give it some thought. I know you’re a very powerful man but a little more power wouldn’t hurt, now would it?” Arjun glared daggers at the CM as he rose up, “ I just said that i’m not interested in your offer, get that into your thick skull and maybe try to change your ways before it’s too late.”And with that, Arjun turned on his heels, headed for
"That silly Arjun." The CM gritted.Mahadev let out a soft gasp. "Minister…Don't you think that's too extreme?" The CM glared daggers at Mahadev, "That is none of your business, okay? Send me the assassin's number and leave before I get mad at you." Mahadev stared at the CM in fear, he had never heard the CM try to kill someone before but if he dared to stop him, he'd lose the position of the vice presidency."I've sent it, I'll…I'll be on my way now." Mahadev said before leaving the office.The CM's lips curved into a satisfactory smirk, "Let's see how Nexumcore would function without its creator" he muttered.He picked up his phone, dialing the number Mahadev sent to him."Hello,I have a deal for you. If you're interested, I'll send you an address, and meet me there in a few minutes from now." The CM said the moment the call got connected."I'll be waiting for the address. And the payment?" The husky voice said from the other end."Don't worry about that. We'll talk about it when

Brijesh wondered, his eyes wide with
"What's the situation?" A husky voice asked from the shadows of the dark room."Nothing much. Just jubilation." A man pocketed his hands behind the silhouette of the figure."What's the status of the country?" The voice asked again."Still the same. Nothing has been noticed yet." The man replied.The figure hummed as his heels clicked on the floor, swiveling in the man's direction, making noises as he walked closer to him.*************"Ananya, where's my suitcase?" Ayush asked as he swallowed the last gulp of his tea."I'm still searching for it. Goodness knows where you dropped it this time. You never know how to keep your things and when you can't find them you'll start disturbing me." Ananya complained from the room.Aditya crossed his arms, "Of course I'll disturb you. You're my wife, who else will I ask? Esha's still too small to run around for me." Ananya rolled"Oh please, you should really stop making me…""Buzzz" Ayush's phone vibrated in his pocket, distracting him from hi
Ayush walked out of the meeting, after declaring his withdrawal from the company. He didn't want to waste any more time as they might try to convince him to stick to the company.It was not as though he did it out of his own free will, he just could not help it. It was for the sake of his family.He would rather resign from the company, than have his wife and child dead. The person he was dealing with had no heart, all he could do now was to follow his orders.As he went on with a lot of things going through his mind, Rahul ran towards to him."Mr. Ayush, Mr. Ayush!" He called out, "wait up, please."His steps quickened, but Rahul was fast enough to reach him. He slowed down as he was in the same pace as him. "Mr. Ayush—""Think about how you can stop breathing like a dog, before you think of talking to me," Ayush responding, causing him to keep quiet, and breathe well.Rahul took a deep breath, and began talking. "I know how much you love the company, and how dedicated you are to wo
Staring at the green tree through the window as it danced to the tune of the wind, he took a sip from the glass of wine he held in his hand.After the accident, which he was lucky to escape, he had stayed low to know what caused the accident, as he was sure that the car was in good fit. His mind had wandered faraway, thinking of how he would go about it. "Sir," he heard someone say. He turned his back to face the person. Looking at his face clearly, he could recall him. Of course, he would not forget so easily the person who planted the bug in his car that caused the accident."It's about your company, sir," he began, lowering his head, unable to look at him."Go on."Aside knowing what caused his accident, he needed to know how his company was doing. Of course, the person who wanted him dead wanted something from him."The... The chief minister has taken over your company, Nexumcore. From the news I heard, Ayush had resigned since there was no CEO to run the company, and just afte
He loved the terror he saw in the President's eyes. He could feel him trembling, and that was what he wanted to do to manipulate him to step down."Can you not see that the citizens are suffering? They have you as a President, but they are dying. People are terrorizing the city, causing havoc and insecurities. What are you going to do about it?" The chief minister said, tucking his hands into his pockets.The President lowered his head, his eyes darting as he felt weak. The chief minister was, indeed, right. He was the president of Castle City, yet he could do nothing about the insecurities of the citizens in the city.He could not even stop the terrorist group. How then was he worthy to be called the President, when he had failed the people that were looking up to him for safety?"I... I—"He was at a loss for words. He didn't know what to say or how best to defend himself. "You are the President. The safety of the citizens and the peace of Castle City rest in your hands. Think abou
