Flashback Six Years Ago; Dylan was back home for good this time, he had just graduated from college a month before but he decided to stay back in school to tie up some loose ends and then he would start working at his father's company full time, he already worked there most of the time when he wasn't in school. His family wasn't expecting him until the next week but he decided to come home early to surprise them. He entered the house and walked into the living room but no one was there, next he checked the living room and still he couldn't find anybody. It was still early so Dylan thought that everyone was at work, so he carried his bags up to his room but as he was about to open his room door, he heard a sound come from his father's room at the end of the hall. Happy that either his father or his stepmother was around, he dropped his bags in front of the door and walked down the hall to his father's room, he opened the door. “I'm back home!” He shouted hopi
There was a knock on the door and it jarred Dylan out of his walk down memory lane. “Come in,” Dylan said. Lucas entered the office and closed the door behind him. “Sir I've called the security company and they've set up a new code for the gate, this is it,” Lucas said as he handed Dylan a card with the new security code written on it. Dylan took the card, scanned the code with his eyes, and then put it in his desk drawer. “Thank you for getting on that quickly Lucas,” Dylan said. “Of course sir, also all the board members have RSVP'd yes same with the business associates, everyone is going to be attending the party today. I also called your father's lawyer.” Lucas informed Dylan. “Ok, have you been able to find anything on Lyon and the reason he called the board meeting?” Dylan asked Lucas. “I haven't been able to find anything on that sir, but the only thing that I can think of is that he somehow got his hands on your father's will. That's th
They both said goodnight to Emma and walked out of the room and down the stairs. The party was taking place outside in the garden where a huge tent had been set up. “So almost everyone has arrived including your father's lawyer,” Lucas informed both of them. “Ok, so how exactly are we going to do this?” Anna asked Dylan, she was getting nervous. “The MC will announce our arrival and then I'll make the announcement,” Dylan explained to her and noticed how she was fidgeting. “You're going to do great Anastasia,” Dylan told her and then squeezed her hand in encouragement. “Ok, let's do this.” She said as she smiled up at him. The three of them walked out of the house and towards the tent, when they got there, Lucas went in first to inform the MC that they were ready. “Ladies and gentlemen please join me in welcoming your host and CEO of Kings Enterprise, Mr. Dylan Knight.” Both Dylan and Anna walked into the tent after the
“Come on Anastasia, you can fight with me after the party, but let's do this.” Dylan pleaded with her. “Fine, but I have to put on my shoes.” She told him. “It doesn't matter, your gown is covering your legs.” Dylan told her. Anna took a deep breath and then took Dylan's hand and everyone started clapping as they approached the dance floor. When they got there, the band started playing a rendition of Thinking Out Loud. Dylan put both his hands on Anna's waist and dragged her closer to him, they were just a hair breath apart from each other and then Anna wrapped her hands around his neck and they started dancing. “I didn't keep it from you intentionally Anastasia, I always planned to tell you. But then things always got in the way.” Dylan explained to her. “It's ok Dylan, you don't have to explain yourself to me.” Anna told him. “But you're upset.” Dylan pointed out. “Yes I am, but that's a me thing. Why does it bother you
Dylan and Lucas went to Kings Enterprise headquarters in London. Dylan was in his office making calls, trying to find out what happened. As of that moment, the only thing he knew was that the fire had been put off and that everyone was accounted for, no one had died but there were some serious injuries. The manager of that branch was on his way to Dylan's office to tell him what he knew. “Sir, the investors are calling for a meeting, what do I tell them?” Lucas asked Dylan. “Tell them, that…. Just give me the phone.” Dylan told him and Lucas handed his phone over to him. “Jim, good morning.” Dylan greeted the other man on the line, his name was Jim Reynolds and he was the biggest investor at Kings Pharmaceutical and also invested the most in the high blood pressure drug. “Finally Dylan, where have you been? I've been on the phone with your assistant.” He complained. “Jim listen I know you and the other investors are worried and you have
“Now I need the both of you to do something for me and I don't want the rest of the board to know.” Dylan told them. “What do you need boss?” Hugh asked Dylan. “Now, if this drug that Pandora is about to push out into the market is ours, we have to stop them.” Dylan said. “But how? We don't have a team or a lab and all our data is lost.” Hugh told Dylan. “We do have a lab, you forget our branch here in London isn't the only one that we have. There's also a team of kab technicians and microbiologists at those labs. Now as for the data, it isn't lost. Hugh remember you sent me progress reports every week with all the data from the team, well all that is backed up in my drive, so I think we have everything we need don't we?” Dylan asked Hugh. “Yes sir, I think we do.” Hugh answered. “Well then, all we need to do is recreate the drug, the formula is on my drive and then we need to mass produce it and send launch it before Pandora does. All o
Back in New York, James was just waking up when he got a notification on his phone that he had a message from his guy on the dark web. He immediately got up from his bed left his room and walked to his home office. When he got there, he sat behind his desk and put on his computer, he logged on to the dark web and opened the guy's message. “It is done, turn on the news.” That's all he wrote and Immediately James turned on the television in his office and put on the news. The first thing he saw on the screen was a burning building and then the headline; “KINGS PHARMACEUTICAL IN LONDON BURNT DOWN.” Then underneath it read; “PANDORA PHARMACEUTICAL SET TO RELEASE HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE DRUG BY WEEKS END.” A giant smile appeared on James's face at this news, he had just asked the guy to steal the formula, but this was even better. He stole the formula and the lab got burnt down. He went back to his computer and typed down a message. “Excellent work, and Pandora kno
Dylan hadn't seen or talked to Anna in two days. Well, he had seen her but she was always sleeping whenever he got back from the office, both her and Emma. He came back home late and left so early before any of them woke up. He wasn't avoiding her, but work was just hectic trying to get the drug on the market before Pandora wasn't easy. Today was the last day that they had, the launch was scheduled for tomorrow but everyone thought that it was it was a press conference to address the fire at the lab, even his investors. He knew they were angry but he couldn't have his plan getting out until he was sure everything was set. Before he left the house, he went to check in on Emma, he always checked in on her when he came in from work and when he left. He opened her door and saw that she had kicked off her blanket. Dylan dropped his suitcase on the floor, picked up the blanket from the floor and covered her up. Emma rolled over and opened her eyes. “Daddy is that you?
