Chapter 1
David Elton, a man who has never seen a smile on his frowning face.
He very young replaced his father in the company as the owner of the company. After his parents died mysteriously, David changed, that's why even the employees of the company do not know his cheerful face, because when he became the head of the company he was no longer the old man David. Only his childhood friend fully knows his old friend, David, he hopes that David will get over the heavy blow of his parents' death and smile again. John and David have not seen each other since the death of David's parents, because John studied in London. But he decided to surprise his friend, so he immediately booked a ticket and went to his friend.
Like every day, today he is sitting comfortably in his leather armchair. Like every morning, his assistant brings his first coffee right on time at 7 o'clock. This assistant has stayed at work for a long time because she has not yet made a small mistake. The previous ones were fired because exactly at 7 o'clock, his coffee was not on his desk. Working with David is hard and demanding, Bela has been his assistant for more than 7 months, but he still did not fire her, which was very strange for his character. He knocked on the door just in time and Bela entered with hot coffee.
- Mr. Elton, your coffee, go ahead. Bella said with fear as she addressed her boss.
David was not at all a person who would thank you for bringing him coffee, so you will never get a single thank you from him. He looked like a cold young man, but in fact, he buried his real smiling and cheerful face deep inside himself.
- Are the guests coming from Germany today, have they confirmed their presence? David addressed her in a loud tone.
- Yes, sir, exactly at midnight we should meet with them in...
As always, he interrupted her. He was such a cold and wild man.
- You are free. As always, he interrupted and quickly closed the topic.
Bela was a persistent girl, she believed that another man was hiding behind David's face, she wanted to reveal that bitter face, and she believed that she would soon do so.

- Bella, muster courage and come in. I'm talking out loud to myself. Let's not forget to address him as sir, because if I address him only by his name, I will immediately have to tolerate his insults and insults. I have to watch his look that looks furious, and of course, I will get fired. Of course, I don't want to be fired, but of course, I'm not afraid if I get it. I'm not afraid of being fired, but I'm afraid of Mr. David, I'm afraid of him from the first moment when I met him. He's beautiful but scary. I have to go in, I talk to myself a lot like this, someone might walk by and hear me, and then I'll probably end up in psychiatry. Crazy girl talking to the door, or crazy girl talking to herself with myself. One thing is certain, I must go inside and talk to Mr. Elton.
Bella talked to herself as she convinced herself to walk into David's office.
Mr. Elton, are you free? I want to ask your permission.
- I hear you, say what you want.
- I wanted a day off...if you allow me...otherwise it's no problem if you don't allow me, I won't get angry....
Mr. Elton was silent while Bella was too confused and talking unrelated things, uttering words without knowing what she was saying. There was so much trepidation and panic that Bella did not know what she was saying.
- I've heard you enough. Get out! David turned to her angrily.
Bella continued to speak.
-Girl, did you hear what I said?
- Excuse me sir. Bela. My name is Bela. You keep forgetting my name. I don't know how to tell you, but I need a day off. I can also tell you what I need a day off for...I hope I don't get fired...
-Girl, my head is pumping. You're going to give me a severe headache. Go out and take that day. Take two days, just get out of here now.
-Really? You allowed me a day off? You're a little rude, but you're a good person. Thank you.
David was shocked by Bela's boldness. He couldn't believe how this girl was so free and bold in front of him. All of his employees were afraid of him, but she wasn't. He started to wonder why this girl was different from the previous employees. David was a different guy before. He was a guy with dreams. But since how he changed, he became the kind of man that no one loved and everyone was afraid of him. Deep inside David wanted to bring back that young and happy guy, but his hatred would not allow him. He was full of hatred and a desire to avenge the death of his parents. He swore on his parents' grave that he would avenge them. He swore a life dedicated to revenge and that he would not have a life of his own. He thought that if he was happy, he would hurt his parents so much, that until he was responsible for his parents, he couldn't be David. He couldn't be happy until he got revenge.
Bela had just left when someone knocked on the door of David's office.
- Don't let anyone disturb me. I allowed you a day off, go and don't bother me anymore.
- I thought you would be happy when you see me. What kind of welcome is this? Is this how you greet a friend you haven't seen for a long time?
John, his best friend from childhood, appeared at the door. When David saw him standing here in front of him, he was very surprised and his frowning face smiled at him.
- John. I can't believe it. Where did you come from? When did you come? Why didn't you call, should I meet you at the airport?
- I wanted to surprise my friend. Are you happy that I came here unannounced?
- You can come whenever you want, you know you are always welcome here. Come sit down. Do you want coffee?
- Maybe. I'm here and I don't plan to leave. I want us to enjoy life for a while, brother.
- I offered you coffee, but my employee just left. Let's go out together, sit somewhere, and maybe have lunch.
- Yes. Let's go.

- Speak. What's wrong with you, where have you been so far? David questioned his friend whom he had not seen for a long time.
- There's a lot, we'll talk for a long time. You know I have a lot to talk about girls... Tell me, how is love in your place?
- There is no such thing in my life. That's why there is too much in yours, ha ha ha...
- How is it possible that there isn't? You were the most desirable guy. All the girls didn't even notice me because of you. Ha ha ha
- Don't exaggerate. You were a big womanizer. Are you still like that, are you still in a relationship with two girls?
- You know me. I'm not a man for one woman. I have love to share with any girl who normally likes me. You really don't have a girlfriend?
- I don't have any girlfriend and I don't want to have any girlfriend in my life. I don't have time John. I'm only at the company and at home. From home to work and that's every day. I don't go out anywhere, where can I find that girl?
- You are making a big mistake. I am here now and I have to find you a girlfriend.
- If you don't want to fight, don't ask me for a girlfriend. You know that I have other obligations and I don't have time for girls. I have other priorities and I don't have time for anything else.
- Are you still looking for the culprits for your parents' accident?
- I will dedicate my whole life to it. That's what I swore and I won't rest until I get my revenge. I can't be happy while they are dead and unavenged for their deaths.
-David, you have always been my friend. You are like a brother to me. I don't want your life to end like this. You have to continue living.
- Let me live as I want, don't interfere with that. Please don't. You are my only friend with whom I have remained in contact, I don't want to lose my friendship with you.
- You are my brother. You have changed a lot, you were not this kind of person. Why are you stubborn?
- Please close this topic.
- Okay, I'll leave you for a while. But I won't give up on bringing you back to life. I have to bring back the old David, my friend who was always with a smile and positive energy.
