EMRYS' POV
****************************************
One week ago.....
"Why the hell can't these men do their work properly?" I said removing my glasses off my eyes in clear bl***y anger. My fingers tightly clenched up into a fist.
"Hey calm down EM..... Relax... You needn't to be worried."
Jayden Bradford; My ever time good friend tapped on one of my shoulders just trying to make me calm down.
I don't have much friends; I hardly have friendships. To the whole world I'm the most ruthless, cold, rude, workaholic, heartless, worst and arrogant, but the most powerful man. A mere glance of mine can make a person get to his knees in a split second. Neither a man nor a woman dares to compete against me. They know what they would go through after being a hostile of mine. But when it comes to JD he is my strength. He is the only one who made me realize what a real friendship means when my life was going wrecked. He is my one and only friend whom I associate since my childhood like my own brother...
What?
Brother?
My own brother?
He is more than a brother.
I reversed my thoughts back to my reality releasing my fingers out from the clenched fist.
Huh...
"You know JD, how this is gonna be important to me....
If I los......" I said tightening my both temples with two of my fingers. I almost choked on the last word before I could end it up. JD gave a damn look at me.
Oh! Sh*t! sh*t!
How did you forget it Emrys?
That word is not even there in your vocabulary.
The three words that are far beyond your diction ....
Love, Sorry and Loss.......
Do I want to make you remind of it Mr: Emrys Parker?
You never gonna lose...
No one can beat you...
While raking my fingers through my thick hair I thought to myself pressing my lips together into a thin line.
"Well..... Ahem..." I cleared my throat and turned to Jayden who was sitting next to me focusing his eyes on his tablet while tapping the fingers on his mid thighs.
Oh Damn it...! Again listening to music...
I groaned silently and in a quick movement I grabbed the hand free off his ears..
"What?" He shrugged his shoulders throwing his hands in the air.
"Focus attention. on. me..." I said clenching my jaws.
"Oh come on EM.... Calm down. You are kinda nervous on this project right? Since this is gonna be the most important one you ever gonna handle?" JD asked in a stern face.
What the f***?
Am I looking like that?
"No... Never. I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who gets this project."
"I know you are not gonna lose this project as you never did." He said in thought of making me calm down.
"I just want everything to be perfect. There must not be any mistake. If I could sign this deal with her, then It would be in my hand. I want to gain this." I said in a bit rough voice.
"Well JD.... Did you check on all the mails. We have to close the deal with the David Corporation today itself." I said while placing my laptop on the small table inside my newly bought luxurious Mercedes Car.
Most of the times I do drive by myself, but since I have to attend a very important meeting today, I happened to take my father's driver on his insistence. I'm so lucky enough to have a father like my dad. The most caring and loving dad. He always thinks about my security and protection. So on his coercion I was urged to have three bodyguards around me. But I refused that outright. I never wanted to have those freaking bodyguards around me; being an adult I can take care of my own protection. I didn't want to spoil my free life having some pairs of eyes glued onto me and my work and wherever I go and whatever I do.....
I f****** hate that kind of stupid things...Damn it!
Why should I believe in others about my security when it can be handled by myself.??
Even JD is there for me.... So we can have our own protection.
Ring..... Ring.....
Suddenly my phone buzzed and I wore my blue tooth hand free on and dragged the caller button to attend the call, yet keeping my attention on the business deal I was handling online via my laptop.
"So.What now?" I said in a rough voice to the man on the other side. JD was glaring at me narrowing his thick brows at my fury.
I felt the voice of my engineer's get stuttered at my roughness; but I didn't care the bl***y hell.
"Don't you have a mouth to talk?" I burst out loudly.
"Sir.. I really am sorry. The airplane is under a very big renovation. It cannot be---"
"WHAT..........?
What are you saying? Airplane is under a very big renovation?" A ripple of anger gushed through my blood.
Oh God damn!
"You are being paid to say this?" I yelled at him through the phone call, clenching my fingers again into a fist until my knuckles were white.
Why these people are doing things which always get my nerves on? Damn it!
"-------------------------"
"I don't care the hell what it is going through now...
You just have to renovate my plane quickly.
Or. else. you. will. be. fired....." I hung up the call tightening the hold on my phone into my fist and threw it harshly down on the car floor board...
JD didn't show any amusement as he is now used to these types of rude, wicked behavior of mine. He knows about me more than he knows about himself. He picked my phone up off the car floor board and placed it on my table.
After a few minutes, what I heard again from my engineer was my private plane could not be repaired as it was going through a massive problem.
Dammit! Who gave him this job?
That kind of idiots must never be hired, if they can't do their work properly.
"John take us to the air port."
I said to the driver of my dad as this was the only opinion I had right now.
"Yes sir..."
********
After half an hour of ride, we were brought to the New York air port. I hurriedly got down and rushed inside with much hurriness while JD was following me at the same pace.
A few minutes later I was striding towards the gate number 3 for my boarding.
But, in a split second I collided with someone.
"Oh my god!" I heard a sound of muttering coming in front me.
"Ouch!" My head was paining to hell. My eyes went shut and in a flash my hand searched it path towards my forehead. I touched the spot where it was attacked.
It seemed like I was suffering from migraine. I opened my eyes only to see a young lady who was squeezing her eyes to clear the sight. Her face was covered with her loose chocolate brown hair. Her gaze shifted to me while pushing the strands of her hair which was spread over her small face tucking behind her ears and at the same time her eyes ran over me scanning from top to bottom trying to figure out every inch of mine.
Huh! Damn femininity!
Who misses the chance of gazing at a man like me?
I removed my glass off my eyes in clear bl***y anger. But I didn't leave the sight of her. My jaws clenched tightly showing the nerves where my cold blood ran through fast.
I'm going through more than I expected today.
Holy cr*p!
And now, this b****.
"Are you alright?" JD who was standing next to me asked with a concern.
"Yeah... Yeah... I'm fine." I answered him yet keeping my eyes focusing on her. I felt the muscles around my eyes get tightened as I paced towards her plastering my angry mood on my face.
"Hey just leave this. Let's go. You are already late." JD shouted trying to stop me.
Yeah! I know JD.
But I want this lady to teach what she would go through if she crossed a path of a businessman like me...
"Don't. you. know. that. people are travelling here?
What the hell are you doing standing here?" I asked gritting my teeth out. People went passing by us keeping their eyes stuck on our mess. But I didn't want to give a damn care about it.
"I'm so sorry. I-I was just...." She started to stutter but behind that what I heard was the final boarding call for me.
"This is the final boarding call for passengers Sian Cynthia Anderson and Emrys Parker booked on flight 372A to London City. Please proceed to gate 3 immediately. The final checks are being completed and the captain will order for the doors of the aircraft to close in approximately five minutes time. I repeat. This is the final boarding call for Sian Cynthia Anderson and Emrys Parker. Thank you."
Since the time didn't permit, I left the girl behind me without uttering any word.
Your luck! You were saved b***** b****!
I waved my hand to JD and headed towards the Security before the gate.
"May I see your passport and ticket please?" The security officer asked me politely.
"Yeah! Sure."
My hands shoved into my pockets.
What!
My passport and Boarding Pass.
Damn it!
I searched it everywhere.
Is it with JD?
I called him back.
It's not with him.
Then where the hell have they gone?
Suddenly me collision with that goofball poured into my mind.
Dammit! I won't leave you b***** b****!
My eyes ran through the space like the adamant wind only to be turned my anger on just by the mere sight of her.
There she is.
She was standing at the gate number 3 where I was supposed to be. I stormed towards her brewing with my anger. The sooner I reached at her my hand quickened as fast as a jet. It was on her wrist pulling her back tightly and things slid her hands off forthwith.
Her face turned towards me with anger, amusement or whatever. But it was apparent anger was running over her face.
Who cares!
"What the...." She cursed. Her eyes went wide after seeing my presence back. "Just let go of me" she struggled to release her hand out of my grip. But my hold went so tightened on her.
"Do you think that I will let you
go?" Because of you I had to waste my time.." my jaw muscles compressed without a control.
Meanwhile, I heard the sound of the flight taking off. There was a sudden change in her face too.
Huh! Anger towards me!
You b****!
"But you came here. And you had enough time. Right?" Fire was blazing in her eyes.
How dare she?
To talk to a man like me...
"Yeah exactly..... But in the meantime I got collided with you my passport and ticket were fallen...."
"It's..It's not my fault. It should be yours, mister.. You must have been careful when you were walking on." she said not caring the thing what she actually uttered.
What the...!
My nerves got on to hell. I tightened the grip on her wrist.
"Ouch! What are you doing? Just let go of me.." she screamed but that was in vain. More she yelped, more made my hold tighten on her.
"How dare you talk to me?
This was one of the best chances I had gained in my life. This tour meant to be very imortant to me. But.... I just.lost.it...because of a goofball.like.you" I said through the gritted teeth.
"Wh...a...t? What did you say?"
Her eyes widened at the same time.
"Hey!" I turned towards the voice.
Jayden!
Before I could show my power he dragged me away from that b****....
"Your airplane is still under the renovation. It will be renovated by day after tomorrow." JD's words made my blood boil.
"What the hell? I just want it to be alright by tomorrow" I shouted at him.
Because there would not be any other flights to London for another two or three days, because of some weather issues.
I dug my phone out and dialed the number of the dealers who I was going to sign the peoject with..
"Damn it!"
Network busy.
''Hey calm down EM!"
"What Nonsense! How can I be calm myself down when I am at the peak of losing the deal. It's all because of that b****!!
Sh*t!! JD take me there, to my engineer.." I said it more like a command. I paced hurriedly in quick steps and got into the car.
Sudden entrance of JD's made that goofball's life save.
I did not know why, making remind of her made my anger boil more and more and grow my hatred towards her.
The British San Construction wanted to hand their big project of constructing the largest Auditorium in Britain over to me. It was a deal. They wanted me to sign a contract with the most famous violinist Miss.Chloe Andrea in London today itself. Because she is gonna present her first musical performance there. That would give us more advantages to do such a very big deal in front of her fans. If she signed the contract we could have gathered a large number of fans from all around the world to the Musical Concert, BSC gonna hold on. We would get a big fund out of her Concert. Neither was she informed about this contract. I knew this would even gonna be a surprise for her...
I have heard about her.. Her talents...
But never had I seen her..
Next day I punched out the number of BSC dealers hoping that I would be able to contact them.
"Hello..."
Finally!
''---------------------------"
Damn it!
I just lost it...
This was the biggest project I'd ever got in my business life to deal with the world's famous British San Constructions. Losing a thing was neither a part in my life nor my business. But it came a truth..
The first damn loss ever happened to me!!
The world's famous Emrys Parker is a loser.....today.
If I saw you again you would not be alive Miss.Goofy..
I swore to myself.
********
The next few days drove me crazy like hell. Even my employees didn't dare to stay around me. They shivered and stuttered seeing me or a mere glance from me at them. Sometimes the files flew off my hands into the thin air like flying saucers. Even a single mistake of an employee made the documents flew onto thier faces.
But I managed to do my business deals and others properly. I did not want to mess my things up just because of the fact that I lost my project... Even making remind of that goofy's face, caused to break glasses into pieces...
Once I was sitting and reclined my head back on the chair closing my eyes. A glass of water was held in between my fingers, but yet keeping it on the table. Suddenly that incident ran into my mind like a storm. The fingers around the glass went tightened around it for an uncertain time... In a split second it was crumbled into pieces and dropped off my hand spilling water over my dress too... No second passed to gush the blood out of my wounds in my palm.
JD was sitting in front of my table checking some files.. The time his eyes set on my blood a wave of amusement flashed across his face and he almost rose up to his feet with his shocking expressions.
But in a few days everything was settled down and I got back to my real sense. But my personal assistant Venessa Alberto was piling her works up in the last few days. She also was one of my employees who was verbally harassed by me for past few days and was got the files flown onto her face. Her job was being sent to hell by me adding some more work. Ultimately she was struck and could not do my work properly.
I never care the people who do not give a f*** about my work.
So not switching my decision I fired her... I kicked her out of my company.
If I fired one, at the same speed I could hire another one..
On very day my PA was fired, that means the day before the weekend I came to know about a fraud in my company. I just wanted to find the person out who was behind it. I spent the whole night in my company with Jayden.
Going through the ledgers and other documents we tried to get the fraud revealed. JD gave me such a cooperation on this. Finally we could assume the person. But yet we needed some clues to make him arrest. We didn't leave the company until the next day dawn.
The next day my presence in the company was kept as a secret. All the employees and other executive officers were informed as I would attend a meeting with a special client in an outer place. So that would be easy for the deceiver to handle his game and for us to get him caught in our hands.
But JD and I were in the camera room checking all the recordings and ongoing things inside the company yet keeping our eyes glued to the screens. No one in the company knew about this secret mission except my brother Ethan Parker and my dad Sydney Parker.
"Ethan it's your day today. Can you remember? You have to manage everything today. Right?" I said to my brother through the phone call.
"Yeah. Sure. Now I'm at the gate... No worries.."
"Don't let others know that me and Jayden are here in the company inside the camera room. Keep it in your mind. And use the back entrance to enter the office." I advised him.
"Yeah.. Yeah.. I get it. Everything will be alright EM... " He assured me.
"Hey EM... See this girl..." suddenly, JD shouted taking my whole form away from the phone call.
I hung up the call and turned to the screen where JD was looking at. My eyes got widened at the scene in front me.
That f****** a** here! In my company!
"What the hell is she doing here?"
I yelled in a fit of anger.
"EM... is she the one Callum informed us? The new girl to be interviewed as your Personal Assistant.?"
My anger gradually started to possess over me just by listening to JD's words.
If that why she is here for, then that would have been the great mistake she has ever done in her life.
My prompted self moved forward to get that hell out of here.
Wait Em! Where are you going?
Are you gonna show yourself to the others.
"Oh damn it! I can't go out of this room. What should I do now?" I muttered to myself for a while raking my fingers through my thick hair. I walked to and fro in the room trying to catch up with something that I wanted to kick her out of my company.
"EM I have never seen this much anger in you towards a girl before."
"What do you mean?" I exclaimed lifting my brows up.
"Nah..I mean.... I jus-just said." JD said averting his eyes away from me. The smug smirk displayed on his face didn't go unnoticed by me.
Is he gone crazy?
My eyes ran back again to the screen. Now she was pacing towards my office and stepped in. Afterwards the things happening inside was invisible. There are no any fitted CCTV cameras in my office to show others what happens inside my office. I have just personalized my office only to myself.
I dug my phone out of my pockets and dialed the number of Ethan still standing inside this camera room impatiently.
"The girl standing in front of you is..." I cut my words off. "Just don't let the girl go on the interview. It's revoked." The sooner he attended my call I said with my roaring voice.
"What?" Ethan exclaimed with surprise, but in a low voice.
"Do what I said...!!" But I said in a commanding voice..
When it comes to a business thing relationships never matter to me.
"Hmm.. Done..." He said in a acceptance creeping tone.
I smirked to myself on thinking of my victory...
"Ohoh... Poor girl.... EM your are great...huh... " JD's words made me bliss to heaven.
''That's me!" I said in my victorious tone.
I turned myself to the CCTV cameras to see a grief-stricken and despondent face coming out of my office. Letting out a chortle in my joy, I kept looking on the screen for the rest few minutes.. I was observing everything about her---- from her coming out my office, slipping off balance, meeting up with Gwen and ultimately the confrontation with my dad.
That was the thing which got my nerves on. I closed my fingers into a fist seeing her entering into my dad's office. From the time she went inside my dad's office I was on the verge of bursting myself with my brewing anger. I couldn't stand without knowing what was going on there. Finally what I saw was she was gliding out with a happiness creeping face.
What made her so happy?
Did my dad---
Oh sh*t!
I lost my temper in a flick and nothing crossed my mind as I badly wanted to crumple her under my clutch. So, I could not keep myself under control as I strode out of the camera room.
"Hey EM where are you going?" JD yelled at me. At the moment nothing reached my ears as the revenge was taking birth in me..
So leaving him behind me, I flew out of the room and entered in the elevator. I pressed the button and let the lift go down. Finally when it reached its termination the doors opened with the sound of ding...
Ding....
When the doors were withdrawn to the either side; the one whom I was eagerly expecting to see at the moment, was standing in bfront of the lift looking at elsewhere. In a split second, I grabbed her hands tightly only to pin her against the wall of the elevator trapping her face onto the wall. She struggled to get out of my grip as she could not turn herself back facing me. Because I had her arms twisted on her back keeping the tight hold on both her arms. She couldn't even move her body...
"Who are you? Just let me go.." She screamed. Never did I reply, but kept on forcing my grip on her. She still struggled to get out of the grip. But it all went in vain as my power was stronger than hers...
"W-what do you want?" She stuttered difficultly as she was facing the wall. I took my face closer to the nape of her neck. I felt the smell of her perfume trail through my nostrils, but making me realize who I really am....
Emrys, women are not your weakness.. The substance instinct of mine alarmed my brain in a quick pace.
At my closeness her body got shivered under me like a little doe which had now been entrapped in a lion's arms like its prey which was to be feasted in the next second... The nervousness ran through her veins could be sensed even for my two strong arms. As I got more and more closer to her, a few strands of her chocolate brown hair started flapping against my face blocking me from speaking.
"You....are....FI...RED!" That's what I said behind her ears.
"Who the hell are you to take decisions on me?" She shouted not bothering to fear. "Just let go of me... Or else I...." Her voice was fading away. Suddenly her words were cut off by herself as my grip on her arms tightened like hell making my nails dig into the soft flesh of her..
"Really? What would you do? Would you please enlighten me!!"
"Dammit! How dare you talk to me you ******* *******..?"
The elevator stopped at its termination with the sound of ding. But yet I was keeping shouting at her.
"YOU CAN NEVER WORK IN THIS COMPANY.
NEVER EVER!
YOU BETTER MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS..
BECAUSE...... YOU.... A..R..E.... FIRED TODAY ITSELF....
MISS.WHATEVER...."
When the door was wide open I yelled at her with real bl**dy anger...
Suddenly she calmed herself down. Her struggle stopped. I was stunned at her reactions.
"Mr. Pa-Parker" she stuttered silently but which was audible enough to be heard by me... I turned to the front forthwith only to be
amazed by the figure in front of me. Dad was standing sliding both his hands into the pockets of his pants while looking at us with an extreme look of amusement. The sooner realization poured into his mind, Dad removed the pair of glasses off his eyes giving a full view of his face at me.
Darn!
"Dad..." I silently muttered while unfastening the grip on her in an instant.
"EMRYS.. Come to my office!" As I had known that would be the next thing coming in the next moment, without changing the look on his face my dad said me in a commanding voice.
What the....?
I stared at her like I was peeling her skin off her.. To say it was really a look of death. But she didn't dare to take a look at me... She was keeping her eyes focusing only on my dad, then on the ground....
How dare she?
I was standing next to her clenching my fist...as I could not crumple her into pieces....
Then both my dad and I quit the place leaving her there drum struck..
**********
"Dad what did you do? Why did you hire that i***t?" I asked in a fit of anger.
"i***t? I don't think she is... She is a well mannered and an educated lady..." Dad said while placing himself on his chair.
"Oh dad... I don't want that goofy to be my personal assistant..." I said raking my fingers through my thick brownish hair.
"Emrys... I think she is the best PA I can recommend for you..."
"I don't want her... That's final." I said banging my hand on the table.
"Just give me one reason for your unwillingness towards her... to reject her."
"I lost... my... project... because... of that idiot..." I said through the gritted teeth.
"Well... If you don't want her to be your Personal Assistant, then she will be the house maid in our mansion?" My dad said narrowing his brows.
"What?" I was shocked.
"Yeah... she will be... Then you can not say anything against my words, son."
Dammit!
"Why are you so hell bent on hiring her? " I said angrily and stormed out of the his office room slamming the door shut behind me.
The whole night I spent rolling over the bed reminiscing the things happened today...
Dad knows how to entrap me in....
Being with her in the office is better than waking up to her b***** face in the morning..
My days will go wrecked by seeing her..
Why did my dad do this to me?
Huh! I won't leave this. I'll show you who I am Miss.Goofy.
**********
The next morning I was awakened to the sound of my alarm. It was sharp 5 o' clock. I always try to wake up soon and start my day freshly with my daily exercises.
I removed the duvet off me and stepped into the bathroom, came out of it after cleaning myself and got into my sweatshirt and paired it with sweatpants. Quickly got into my trainers, grabbing my eye pod off the vanity I glided out of my room. I headed towards the Gym in our big mansion. Wearing hand free I listened to some music while doing my morning exercises. Nothing gives me a strength like the exercises do. After I was done, I headed back to my room. Again I glided into my bathroom, removing my sweat soaked clothes off me. Quickly I let the water run down my heating body. After I changed into my attire and went downstairs for my morning coffee.
"Jimmy.... I think It's your high time to get retired." I said to our servant while taking the first sip of my Morning coffee.
"Sir. W-what?" His eyes got widened as he did not get my statement.
"Have you ever tasted a cup of coffee made by yourself?" I stood up giving a piercing gaze at him, then stormed out of the mansion.
After visiting the site where the new Tanhai hotel was being built up I headed back to my company along with Jayden. When I was entering the floor, my ears filled with the greetings of my employees.
"Good morning sir"
"Have a good day Mr.Parker"
"Good morning Mr.Parker"
Just nodding back I responded to their greetings without uttering words. Then I directly headed towards my office discussing some important business matters with Jayden and entered to my office.
The sooner I entered in a ripple of anger drained fast through my veins as there was a lady standing looking all around my office facing her back towards me.
Who the hell dare to come into my office?
This colour of hair... Oh sh*t!
Then the sudden realization hit me.
It's her.
"Are. you. done. with. your. observations?" I said in my authoritative voice stressing each word through my arising anger. She was completely startled by my voice to which she made herself twirl towards me.
As she spun around her eyes went on all over me observing from bottom to top, as I kept standing shoving both of my hands deep into the pockets of my pants.... Behind me there was JD holding some files in his right hand and focusing his attention on the phone in his left hand.
She squeezed open her eyes to clear her vision like she didn't absorb who she was seeing in front of her... It was crystal clear, she was beyond amused as to why she kept on looking stunned at the scene in front of her. The time realization streamed into her skull, she was glued to the spot like hell.
Is she dreaming?
Damn b****!
"I don't. tolerate. the. people. who. waste. their. time. just. standing. in. my........ office." I said even without looking at her, but storming into my chair behind the glass table. Now I was sitting on the chair directly looking at her. But that goofy's eyes were somewhere else on the floor.
"What the hell are you doing in my office?" I asked fuming with rage to which my jaw muscles bulged out as I tightly clenched.
Is she dumb?
"Um I cam---.." she started but cut her words off by JD.
"EM... Check on these files and sign. I'll go visit the site in a few minutes. You just stay here. See you"
"Yeah sure.. By the way, Jayden, ask Kelly to come to my office." I said him.
"Right..." He nodded and went out.
Just wait and watch Miss:Goofy!
The things I am gonna do to you!
After Jayden left the room there she was still standing like a dummy coursing anger rush through my nerves. Not wanted to see that fake innocent face of her, I stood up and prepared myself to walk towards the shelf, but not before I heard a soft voice from this woman standing in front of me. I gave her a skin piercing gaze and then my stance was broken as Kelly entered in. She was always a nervous wreck and stammered when I asked her to do something in my angry tone. And that's what happened again when she questioned me about calling her suddenly into my cabin.
As I had planned in my mind, I appointed Kelly as my Personal Assistant even though she was not that qualified to be my PA. What I had utterly wanted to do was hurt this b***h and I finally succeeded. Cause the expressions on her face expressed it all what I wanted to see and it was worth watching as well. My inner monster laughed his ass out at her.
When I ordered her to bring me my morning coffee, that's when her true self jumped out surprising me too. She dared to question me back telling "I was hired by Mr.Sydney Parker. so, how could you do this?"
everything related to her made me angrier. And that's what happened when she dared a question against me. My anger knew no limit. Cause I instantly felt fire ignite through my eyes. within one stride I was so closer to her and in one second I clutched her wrist tight. So damn tight. A painful groan escaped past her lips. Stunned her set her eyes downwards to notice my iron grip on her wrist. She silently struggled to get her wrist freed. But she failed in her own efforts. I felt something slide off her hand. But I didn't wanna take care of it. From the corner of my eyes I noticed her bend down. As I twirled round to what I saw was a sulkily raging woman as her eyes were blood shot with tears.
"Stop staring at me. DO what I said." I barked again to which she ran out cursing beneath her breaths.
I couldn't be more happy as I succeeded the first step of my hurting mission.
That's your bad.
Cause you collided with the wrong guy.
There is gonna be more fun in this game. You'll see it young lady.
