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?
“It's fine, send him in, Lucas.” A few minutes later, Lyon entered Dylan's office with a pep in his step like he owned the place. He sat on one of the seats opposite Dylan without asking or Dylan even telling him to. Dylan was raging on the inside but he didn't show it. This was how Lyon always behaved, he was a spoilt prick who thought that the world revolved around him. But Dylan knew how to handle him. “What are you doing here Lyon, didn't I make myself clear the last time you saw me?” Dylan asked Lyon, with a bored tone. “This is my father's company and I can come here whenever I please.” Lyon said. “No, actually you can't. This was our father's company but now it's mine and now I make the decisions around here.” Dylan told him and he saw that his words made Lyon angry because the veins at the top of his head had come out. “Look at you sitting down there in my father's seat. He was my father, not yours.” Lyon said his voice raised.
James walked down the stairs and walked fast to the living room, his father didn't like to be kept waiting. He entered the living room and his father was seated on his couch with a glass of bourbon in his hand as he watched the news. The headline was still all about Kings Pharmaceutical. “Good morning Father.” James greeted. “Leave us.” He said to his staff that were standing there and they all bowed their heads and left. James took a seat by the side of his father, his father didn't say anything or turn to look at him, he just continued watching the news and that made James nervous because he didn't know what he was thinking. After a few minutes, his father picked up the remote and muted the TV and then he turned to look at James. “I take it you've seen the news?” His father asked him. “Yes father, I have.” James said, he didn't know whether it not to tell his father that he was the one behind it, he wanted to gauge his reaction first.
Dylan got home late again that night, he looked in on Emma first and saw that she was sleeping and then he kissed her on her cheek and told her goodnight. Then despite his mind telling him not to, he opened Anna's door, but she wasn't in her bed. He walked into her room and checked her closet and her bathroom but she wasn't in there. He became worried, he wanted to ask his staff but they had all retired for the night. There's no way she would've left without Emma so where could she possibly be? He ran to his office and pulled up the CCTV camera feed, he looked through all of them and he still couldn't find her. He kept on looking and then she came up on one of the cameras, she was at the pool, she was just sitting down with her legs in the pool and it looked like she was crying. Dylan ran out of his office and straight to the pool that was outside the house. When he saw her there, he let out a huge breath of relief. Yes, he had seen her in the cameras but seein
Dylan held her until her cries subsided. Anna raised her head from his chest and then wiped her tears away. “Do you feel better?” Dylan asked her but she couldn't look up at him she was so embarrassed at how she acted and then for also crying in front of him. “Look at me, Anastasia.” Dylan put his hand under her jaw and raised her head. “I'm sorry for the way I talked to you and for crying, please can we forget that any of this happened?” Anna asked him. “No, I can't forget it because you were right. Come let's sit down.” Dylan took her hand and they both walked towards Anna's bed and sat down and when they got there Dylan still held on to her hand. “Everything you said had a valid point. I did bring you to an unknown country and then I left you alone for three days without a word. I'm sorry Anastasia, this whole thing that happened at work is serious but it's not an excuse, you were right, it wouldn't kill me to take five minutes off my time
