Chapter 67: Just the beginning
A DEAL WITH THE CEO
Fanuel.
I followed Alex with Cole silently while I stared at him at the side mirror of the car to keep him in track.
He was driving awfully slow, making me impatient in anger.
I badly want to drive as fast as I can to hit him together with his car to ashes never to be seen again.
That son of a bitch doesn’t deserve to live after everything he’s put him through, he keeps getting on his face despite him acting all calm and collected.
If murder wasn’t against the law, I would have stabbed him to hell so his existence would be a history.
He took the left turn and drove further.. really slow and I frowned.
This was the way to his parents house, I twitched my lips as I stared around to be sure.
His Father was like an eyesore to him so going there only meant one thing. It’s either his father had called or he’s going there to make trouble.
“Slow down Cole, he’s going to the Malcolm estate.
Let him in first before following suit.”
He did as I ordered and I stepped down the moment I reached the front mansion, cracking my knuckles and neck as I walked inside.
*****
Alex
I only agreed to be here cause it concerns Fanuel. Dad had never in his life called me twice about something which bothered him.
He only stated how urgent it is and I had no choice than to drive down here.
A smile etched the corner of my face. I imagined Fanuel in a dilemma and in a confused state, Mirabel had told me that she was informed that he beat his wife to pulp.
Poor Christine.
My Dad came in and sat before me shaking his head in pity and expressing disbelief.
“Where’s mum?” I shut him up with a question the moment I realized he was going to say something gibberish about him.
“Manners Alex!”
“I threw them at the rehab.”
“Why did you do that to Fanuel? You went too far by making that girl sign it. Did you threaten her?”
“Did you call me here to talk about this, you always talk about crap…excuse me”
I stood up.
“Alex!! Why can’t you behave for once? Get your shit together and have a life!
I dislike that Fanuel guy but have you seen how incredible he is lately?”
“So am I supposed to clap for him and award him? Spill whatever shit you want to tell me and let me leave.”
“Stop pestering Fanuel”
I scoffed.
“Of course, your royal majesty.”
“Alex!!”
“Don’t you ever call me to spew rubbish again!”
“You need to take over Hudson’s chemical technologies!!” My Dad yelled and I saw how serious he was.
I halted on my track and froze.
“What the fuck?”
“My company has been closed down till further notice, The company accounts have been frozen and accused of illegal services and the economic crime commission is working on giving us a sentence.
” Jeez!? Dad”
His face raised an amusing stare.
Yeah, I rarely call him Dad but I was shocked beyond words.
His own chemical company was always doing fine so what’s all this breaking headlines he’s spewing.
“You need to let Fanuel be so that I can make arrangements for you to take over. He crumbled mine and I won’t sit and watch”.
” Does it look like I’m Interested in running a company”
“Then get ready to freeze your account.”
I gasped.
” How can you be so greedy than this Dad!! You have five other companies!! ”
“It’s nothing compared to Oak bay!!” He slammed back at me and I left my mouth agape.
“Oak bay?”
“What the hell Dad, You own that company?”
“I didn’t want the public to find out about the legal owner so I fixed that old Hag to run the business but he ruined everything by getting in Fanuel’s way and losing in court.
Fanuel had to go as far as dwindling everything gradually.”
I inhaled deeply and sighed, closing my eyes in thought.
I had better things to do with Fanuel than dragging a company with him, besides I don’t even have a flair for running any company at the moment but taking over the company would ruin Fanuel and I fucking want that.
“I’m not interested Dad, sort out your shit alone”
“You’re still as useless as always” he said disappointedly and I smirked.
“We are both even, a useless person seeks for a useless person’s help or opinion.”
“You’re still obsessed with that crystal girl huh, you’re bent on taking a silly revenge that would never bring her back to life when you clearly killed her.”
My eyes burned in anger as I stared daggers at him.
“Being my father doesn’t stop me from rendering you cripple, watch your tongue!”
He scoffed and drank the scotch on the coffee table while I turned my back at him to leave only to bump into Fanuel whose eyes were blazing red.
I smirked at him and bursted out in a sardonic laughter.
“Hi Fanny, were you missing me that much to come here?”
I teased but the look on his eyes was no joke and oh dear!! It pleased me to see that angry stare.
“How is Chris….” A heavy blow landed on my nose before I could finish and I winced in pain not expecting that from him at all.
Without giving me the chance to regain my composure, I felt his tight grip on my collar as endless fists were thrown to me.
“How.. dare…you..(blows)”
My face was smashed to the coffee table which broke at the hard contact with my face. I tried to retaliate but Fanuel was too strong and fueled in rage to even spare me a strength.
“How dare you Alex!! What do you want from me huh?” He raised my face and I smiled at him amidst my pain.
“This is just…” I coughed out blood and groaned.
“It’s just the beginning scumbag.”
“I will really kill you then…. you have a new plan now. You should focus on taking over my company rather than howling around my wife.” He paused and started at my and smiled…a dangerous one but doesn’t meet my bones at all.
“If I see you near Christine again, I Promise..” His voice cracked.
” I will take away everything life has to offer from you and you will live your miserable life in pain, I promise.”
His grip on my collar loosened and I sighed.
“You should listen to your father, taking over Hudson’s Chemical should be your priority, who knows? You might even be the best CEO to exist in craziness”
He stared at my Father and gave a sardonic laugh and a sarcastic bow before leaving the mansion stylishly.
Blood flowed angrily through my vein as I watched him leave.
