Electra's POV"Mr. Miller... I can see you are concerned about my company... but don't worry... I won't let anything happen to it... Not now... not ever!" I said and left... gosh... As soon as I got out of the door I quickly got one pill out of my pocket and gulped it down.I have practiced taking pills without water since childhood. Anti-anxiety pills have been my support system since I moved to Swiss. The pressure of saving the company is taking a toll on me because I know if I won't able to save the company... I will lose my dad and my family...I got my phone out and saw the message from dad which I got when I came here the first day...'Electra... if you want to see me back, give my company back to me... then only I can come back and we can be a family again'I closed my eyes in determination... father... I will save the company and give it back to you. I can't be alone again... I want my family, I can't go back to being an orphan again, I just can't... I can feel the pill start
Electra's POVI reached home after a while and I asked Mary if Jack has come back or not. I will give him the good news about Dad's call. He is also worried about Dad but no one was at home. So I decided to start some work, then I got a call from Ana."Ana... what happened?" I asked and she was quiet for a while."Ana?" I asked again."Ma'am I got the deal files you wanted... this was the fraud deal because of which our company lost everything. Actually, since the last many deals our company has been bearing losses. In the last few years, sir has taken many wrong decisions and you have already seen those contracts but the last one was missing.." she said and I know that already. I tried to find that file but I couldn't... I wanted the original file for that so I have asked Ana to look for it."yes... I know those were wrong decisions from Dad's side but they can cause losses... not the company's bankruptcy... that last contract is important... I need to find out who is behind all this
Electra's POV" I don't want you to sell your new formula of NASAIDs to Mr. Ryan. Call him and inform him now that you will not sell the formula to his company... not now...not ever and I will send the video to you" he said and I almost dropped my phone... how can I agree to that? That is my biggest hope to get investment for my big invention... to save my company... and I will be a liar if I do that... and who is this man and how does he even know about all this? What is going on here?"wait... why should I believe you that you have the video?" I asked for the proof. But then my phone pinged and I got a message and I saw it was a photograph of Jack while he had his hands on that girl. It is showing it was his fault."what is this?" I asked angrily and I heard a laugh."If you won't do what I say... this photo will go to the college committee. But if you do what I say... you will get the whole video. The choice is yours. You have thirty minutes... if you won't make a call to Mr. Ryan
Aiden's POV"but what is the problem Aiden... don't you like me?" She asked me and now I am getting frustrated. Julie called me last night but I didn't want to leave Eva but then she kept calling nonstop so I came only after Eva slept to the hotel we meet. She is asking me to announce to the world that we are dating."Yes, I like you Julie... a lot but do you even know the condition of your company right now?" I asked and she frowned like she has no idea what I am talking about. Oh god, one sister is working her ass off to save the company and the other has no idea what is going on."what?" she asked and I sighed."Your company was about to go bankrupt and if it wasn't for your sister... it would have" I said and she rolled her eyes."yes... I know. Mom told me. The company was going to go bankrupt but then my so-called sister came in between... she just doesn't know how to mind her own business" She said with a scowl and I frowned. I thought her father called her here to save the comp
Electra's POV"What is this place?" I asked him as I looked ahead. I am not even sure why I came with him... I am tired but here he is trying hard to cheer me up so I couldn't say no. My hands were itching a lot to go to my purse and get my pill out. Maybe when he is not looking I will swallow a pill."This is a scary house... largest one in the state," he said and my eyes widened. Hell, I know what it is but why are we here? It is really no way to cheer one up."N-No... I don't think so. I am not going in..." I said as I am already scared of ghosts. God, why would he think that I will be happy to be here? "Are you scared?" he asked me and I quickly masked my emotions."N-No... I am not scared..." I said and he is looking like barely controlling his smile."Believe me Ms. Jones... this is the best way to release stress. Come with me and scream your heart out..." he held out his hand and I slowly placed my hand on his."call me Electra... for today.." I said and he smiled warmly... an
Aiden's POV"I have placed a bug in Electra's phone... I want you to connect it to my personal laptop...I also got some pills from her bag. I took one for experimenting... maybe it is her newly invented medicine. Soon we will find out what her world-changing invention is... "I said and with a smirk, I went home. Today was not so boring after all....!!I reached home and was greeted by the smiling face of Eva with Ryan. They are really good friends and I know Ryan, he is perfect for my little sister and I also know he likes her as well but I don't know why he never asks her out, he keeps telling me that Eva doesn't feel the same for him. I think they will make a really good couple."Yes! you are home! Come... we were waiting for you for so long. We will start a movie marathon." Eva exclaimed and I smiled at her enthusiasm."Princess... why don't you go to our home theatre and choose a film and snacks. I will change and get freshened up till then... Ryan come with me to the office for a
Electra's POV I am really happy. William is back and I can finally meet him. He is actually my best friend and colleague. We used to study together in Swiss. He has helped me a lot in my research and I have helped in his. I had to leave there in a hurry and that's why I have asked him to complete the formalities of final approval. Soon I will get the hard copy of WHO's approval for my medicine.I finished my work and went home in the evening and started dressing up. When I got a call... I quickly picked up without even looking..."I will send you the address soon..." I said as I thought it would be William but then I heard some silence and my eyes widened... It is not him... It's him!"I already have your address Electra... you want me to pick you up for dinner or you will come on your own?" He asked and I realized how stupid I am. I have forgotten completely about tonight's dinner with the team and Aiden. Shit... what will I do now? Should I tell him that I want to meet a friend? Ye
Aiden's POVI realized in a second that I shouldn't have done that. I just kissed her hand but it felt so right... her skin and my lips are just made for each other. I wanted to do more... I wanted to kiss her lips but I know I shouldn't... I am going to betray her and falling for this amazing woman will just come in the way... Yes, I agree... She is the most amazing woman I have ever met. she kept looking at me in shock, I can tell she is not angry... just amazed.. she is also feeling something.why am I not happy seeing that, I wanted this for my plan... I wanted her to fall for me, I wanted her to trust me completely to get my plan to succeed but right now, chances are high that I might fall for her even before she will and that's not right."I think we should go" I said and her eyes looked disappointed... I stood up and was about to turn when she grabbed my hand and I looked at her."Can I ask you something?" She said and I reluctantly nodded, she stood up and looked in my eyes l
