In a high-raised building in Sydney, an elevator was going upstairs.
The building was thriving with people running from here and there. It was Monday morning in the building of the Wilson Group, the most powerful company in Australia.
But the situation in the elevator was different.
The two people inside the elevator were standing there with different thoughts.
One was the president of Wilson’s group Edwin Wilson and the other was his secretary, Ben. Ben is a tall, handsome man who had soft facial features. But what mostly attracted people was his kind nature and soft appearance.
On the other hand, the person he was standing with was a tall handsome but cold-looking man, the sole heir of the Wilson group.
Edwin has an aura that could make anyone tremble. Though he was very handsome and his face could make any girl swoon, his aura was unapproachable.
Ben knew well how Edwin’s one order could turn the country upside down along with his life.
And today he was waiting for something like this to happen, as he has sinned.
He has made this mysophobic man touch a woman who was a stranger.
Though it was needed at that moment.
But the person who didn’t even touch the cutlery, which has been touched by anyone other than his appointed maid and cleaned properly by her has touched a person and has done a lot of things than touch.
Last night at a party, Edwin was drugged by a business partner. He wanted to hook Edwin with his daughter.
But he underestimated the self-control of Edwin. No one could make him do what he didn’t want to.
He knew the name of that person would disappear from Australia. But he didn’t want to bear his punishment.
When the elevator reached the 46th floor and the door got open, Edwin walked out without talking with Ben. Ben followed behind him with a worried face and couldn’t help but wipe his forehead.
He was silent all along the way, and it was more dangerous than his anger.
Edwin walked inside and put his jacket in his chair before sitting on his chair calmly.
He propped his hand on the table and placed his jaw over them.
He was thinking something and with each passing time, Ben was getting worried and wiping his forehead constantly.
“Sir, how should I deal with Mr. Jasper?” Ben asked with his trembling voice.
He was already in the lion’s den, he should better deal with it.
Jasper was the person who tried to hurt him yesterday.
“Who is Jasper?” he asked and Ben nodded and told him what he found after investigating.
Edwin gave him orders, and Ben gulped hearing how his boss wanted to deal with that man.
Though he thought Edwin’s method was very ruthless, he was well aware of how Edwin deals with his enemy.
He wanted to get out of this room as Edwin’s aura was making him suffocate, and he turned around to leave hurriedly.
“Ben,” Edwin called, and he froze there.
“I want to know who that girl was last night,” Edwin said, and Ben turned around worriedly.
“What… will you do with her?” Ben asked stammering.
The girl was innocent. Was he thinking of making that girl disappear, too?
“That is none of your business,” he said and Ben nodded.
He knew he had no power to stop him, so he left the room feeling pity for that girl.
She was robbed of her virginity last night. Ben felt guilty that he used the girl for his boss.
And now maybe she will lose her life too. But he didn’t have the power to stop him.
It was lunchtime, and Edwin was reading some documents wearing his gold rim glasses looking like a demon god.
His black coat was neatly placed on the backrest of his chair while his white shirt was rolled to the elbow his upper two buttons were open and his tie was loosely hanging over his shirt.
The phone of Edwin rang, making him come out of his thoughts. The caller was his grandma.
“Hello, grams,” he said in his usual indifferent tone.
He was irritated that his grandma called him at this time, knowing he must be at his work and he never liked to be disturbed by someone when he was in the office.
“Hey, boy. You forget it was Sunday, and you were supposed to come to the house yesterday?” His grandma said in a scolding tone.
“Grams, you know I was busy, and I had never promised I would come to your house every Sunday.” He replied coldly again.
“Yeah, why will you come? We are two old people supposed to die here. Our only grandson only likes to work. I told your grandpa not to make you like him. But he didn’t hear me. Now I can’t even see my grandson in a week.” She said dramatically, with a sad tone.
Edwin knew it was a tactic of hers to make him succumb. But he didn’t want to make them sad.
“Grams, you know I didn’t mean that.” He said to calm her down and get up from his chair, rubbing his forehead with his fingers.
“Then promise me you will come today.” She said excitedly, and he sighed.
He didn’t want to talk with her anymore and waste his time. Because he knew if she wanted, she could continue this drama the entire day.
“Ok, I will come.” He agreed, and she yelled excitedly, like a child.
“OK, I will make your favorite dinner.” Before he could stop her, she cut the call.
These two people are his only family. And they have made them capable of their sweat and blood. He and his sister owe them their life.
She turned and looked at the portrait hanging on the wall. He couldn’t forget how his grandma forced him to hang this.
It didn’t match the theme of his stylist’s office or his cold demeanor.
But this thing was something he liked to look at whenever he missed them.
Though the entire Australia bows in front of him, this man bows in front of these oldies.
He kept the phone in his pocket and sighed.
He turned off his computer and walked out of his office.
“Sir, you have a meeting in fifteen minutes.” His secretary informed him as she noticed him leaving the office, but he didn’t pay notice to her.
“cancel it. I am leaving.” He said and walked to the elevator without giving her any chance to talk.
But when the elevator door closed, the girl was on the verge of crying.
Only she knew how hard it was for her to arrange this meeting with this client as this was the third time he was leaving them without any notice.
The client was unwilling to work, but his boss told her to inform them if they wanted this deal he wanted them to come to his office that day.
So they agreed unwillingly.
Now, this man was leaving without notice when the client was already waiting for him in the conference room.
How will she manage them?
But she knew she would have to do it for the sake of this job and its too tempting salary.
She pulled up her dejected face and walked toward the conference room when the President left her to clear his mess.
Monday morning,It was lunchtime and as usual, the office canteen was packed with people.“Miss Brown, someone is here to meet you.” Janet was having her lunch in the company’s canteen when someone came to inform her.She was sitting in a desolate corner and it was surprising anyone could find her there.Janet got her job in the design department of Wilson Group last month and because of her shy nature, she didn’t make many friends.Neither did she think someone would know her.But the most surprising thing was nobody knew she worked here except her mom, so she was confused about who came to meet her.Even so, she got up and left to see who was there.She took the elevator and went downstairs as Wilson’s group has a separate lounge for guests, and they can talk there in silence.Whoever the person was, Janet had a bad promotion about that.As she expected, the person who came to meet her was none other than Sofia, her stepsister, who could be taken as her biggest rival.Though Robert
A sleek black Rolls-Royce entered the Wilson Residence and Edwin got down from it with his cold demeanor.Who would have thought this man was the same person who grew up in this villa and used to play like a normal kid, full of joy and mischief?Lara Wilson, Edwin’s grandma, often misses that boy who used to run around her and laugh all the time. But it changed when she lost his son and Daughter-in-law in a car crash.Edwin was sixteen at that time. They were returning from a business trip and they never thought they would get their body instead.Edwin grew up in a day, he took every responsibility on his shoulder and took over the Wilson group in his father’s place.Edward, Edwin’s grandpa, never wanted his grandchildren to lose their childhood.But he had already retired and it wasn’t easy for him to take over the business after such a long time.But he didn’t stop Edwin, either.It’s been ten years and Edwin never disappointed him after that.Wilson Group has only seen success.The
After arguing with Sophia, Janet wasn’t in the mood to finish her lunch, so she returned to the office.Janet couldn’t even get back to her workbench before receiving a call from HR.Though she was praying, it was not what she was afraid of, her dismissal letter was proof Sophia had dragged her down this time, too.Why couldn’t this girl let them leave in peace?It wasn’t Janet who had ruined her peaceful family and snatched her father, why couldn’t Sophia live her own life?Sophia was living a life of luxury, though it was Janet’s right. Still, she always made trouble in Janet’s life.But this time it was really unbearable.Where could she get such a good job like the Wilson group? Even if some companies show pity, nobody would accept a person who has been dismissed from the Wilson group.Her career has been ruined before it could start freely.Janet packed her close-to-nothing belongings from her workbench and left the Wilson group with her disheartened soul.It was already a disaste
“Janet Brown?” Janet turned around and noticed a tall, handsome man was standing there, maybe waiting for her.“Yes,” Janet said, trying to stay calm.“Mr. Wilson is waiting for you upstairs,” Ben said and showed her the way forward.Janet started to walk and Ben walked forward while Janet followed him behind.Ben took her to the CEO’s private elevator instead of using the regular one, which normally Janet used to use while working in the Wilson group.She was surprised how the interior of the elevator was also exuding elegance. This was what must be the life of rich people.They leave their mark wherever they go.But one thing was making her confused, how she caught the eyes of this superb personality.Maybe she wouldn’t have to wait long to know the answer, but she wasn’t sure whether the answer would fit her liking.When the elevator opened again, they got down to the CEO’s office.This was the first time Janet was walking on this floor, as only top employees of the Wilson group had
“You…. you….” Janet couldn’t utter a word.How could she recognize someone she had never seen? That night it was dark, and Janet didn’t bother to see his face the next morning.Why would she, she just wanted to escape that place and it would be torture to remember that person’s face.After all, the first time for every girl is special, and she decided never to see him again.“Yes, me. Edwin Wilson. The person you spent a very passionate and intimate night with.” His tone held mockery, but Janet didn’t pay attention.His words were like a bomb on her and she got up from the chair hurriedly, trying to balance herself, but failed miserably.She took a few steps back, trying to stay away from him ignoring the pain she got by knocking on the table or chair she didn’t realize.“Interesting.” Edwin chuckled, but Janet looked around, trying to look for a way out.Janet turned around to leave, but Edwin’s voice halted her.“Where do you think you can go without my permission?” Edwin asked, and
Janet was sitting inside a taxi, thinking about what transpired between Edwin and her inside the Wilson group.She couldn’t imagine Edwin would offer her compensation so blatantly.She didn’t once regret refusing him.But she felt so inferior, so useless, thinking her first time, her virtue that she cherished so much was only worth some useless stack of cash.Is this what her life is to those rich people? Or maybe inferior to what she could imagine.Edwin was just being generous.Otherwise, wouldn’t it be much easy to vanish her presence from the earth?What was she in front of the great Edwin Wilson?“Mam,” the taxi driver’s voice made her come out of her trance.“Huh?” Janet looked outside and noticed the familiar surroundings of her house.“Oh.” She got out of the car and handed the fare to the driver before walking inside.“Janet, you are back. I was waiting for you.” Rim came out from the kitchen as soon as Janet entered inside.Janet was still angry, and she didn’t want to argue
“Mom… mom.” Janet pushed Rim gently with her shaky hands and when she didn’t respond Janet picked her head up and placed it on her lap.“Mom, wake up, don’t scare me.” Rim patted her face and tried to wake her up.Janet was at a loss, looking at her mother’s lifeless body.It was like her life was falling apart.As much as Rim is alone With Janet, the same applies to Janet too.They were only supporting each other.“Mom.” Janet’s tears were rolling down uncontrollably.She left Rim’s lifeless body on the floor and tried to get up, but fell back as her body lost balance.But she couldn’t show her weakness at this moment.She picked up the landline and called for an ambulance.The ambulance came within fifteen minutes, but these fifteen minutes were like a year to Janet.When they reached the hospital, Rim was pushed inside the ER and Janet could only wait outside helplessly.She was pacing the floor anxiously, and it took ages for anyone to inform her what happened to Rim.Finally, the
Janet understood her attempt was futile, she didn’t have any hope left from them.But she didn’t know what other option she had left with.Janet came back to the hospital hopelessly as her only hope was to get some support from Robert Brown, she was ready for anything in exchange.She didn’t have anyone she could ask for help from, and she felt so devastated.It felt like the world was closing around her.Janet didn’t know what to do, so she ended up in the hospital again.Though Rim was unconscious, Rim was Janet’s only solace from childhood.Rim was already transferred into the ward and various machines were attached to her body.The ventilator was preserving her life for now, but Janet didn’t know how much she could hold on.The beeping sound of the machine sounded like a time bomb, reminding her if she didn’t hurry, the bomb would explode and she would lose the only chance she had to save her mother.“Mom, don’t leave me, please.” Janet took Rim’s hand in hers and caressed Rim’s k
“Hello, everyone. Welcome to the grand wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Wilson. Let’s welcome the bride and congratulate them for completing 25 years together.” The announcer announced while the door opened and there the beautiful bride was standing, wearing a beautiful mermaid-style wedding gown.She was holding a bouquet of White Lily’s with both hands tightly.Janet walked forward while Eric, and his younger brother, Ezra, were escorting her to the aisles.Erica and Edith, Janet’s third child are standing beside them holding the rings.Janet’s children have grown up and even though with time they had become busy and Janet forgot about Edwin’s promise to give her a wedding, Edwin didn’t forget it.So, on their Twenty-fifth wedding anniversary, Janet was walking the aisle though her children were close to marriageable age.Janet was at first shy and denied Edwin’s idea, but Edwin was adamant and finally persuaded her somehow.“Mom, feeling nervous?” Janet’s youngest child, Ezra, whispered in J
“How are you feeling now, Elisa?” Janet asked while serving her a plate filled with food.Elisa was in her advanced days of pregnancy and with time she was feeling uncomfortable every day.“I am good,” Elisa said while taking the plate.Janet served plates for Rebecca and her and sat together.They came for a picnic in Edwin’s farmhouse where they wanted to spend some quality time.Edwin was standing with Rabecca’s husband and Ben. They were, as usual, taking about some business matter while the ladies were sitting together.Eric and Erica were running in the field as they had already finished their lunch and Rim was looking after them.Eric’s grandparents were also there and sitting in the distance while watching the children enjoying their time.“Why did you serve so little for yourself?” Elisa asked, noticing Janet’s plate.“I am not feeling well for some days,” Janet said, and this made the environment tense.“Have you informed Edwin about your condition? He will take you to the
“When did you remember everything?” They have returned home and sitting on the living room sofa.Edwin was lying on her lap while Janet was caressing his hair.The TV was turned on, but they were only busy with each other.“The day I woke up in hospital,” Janet said and Edwin stood up and looked at her with a frown.“And you are only telling me now? That’s why you were behaving abnormally?” Edwin was taken aback by her revelation.Janet knew her reason was useless, and she was worrying unnecessarily.But she had suffered a lot through these years, and she was feeling insecure when she woke up.That’s why she didn’t know whether she wanted to tell anyone about her health.“Why?” Edwin didn’t understand why she hid it for so long.It’s been a week since Edwin brought her home.Why she was telling him the truth now?“I was thinking useless things. It’s not important anymore,” Janet said but Edwin wasn’t having it.He wanted to know what was bothering her.“Nothing related to you can be u
Edwin didn’t know why Janet had returned to the same sea beach, where they had always loved to come together.They have spent the best times of their life here and those memories were precious.But she didn’t remember their marriage, so there was no way she remembered that beach.But Edwin didn’t know a big surprise was waiting for him.When he got off the car it was already the time of sunset.He ran toward the beach as Janet’s location was showing there.After walking for a while, he noticed that familiar figure he was running after.She was standing there facing the sea and her beautiful long hair was flowing beautifully in the breeze.“Janet,” Edwin called, and Janet turned to look at him.Her face looked so peaceful, and when she turned completely, Edwin noticed she was holding a red bouquet in her hand.What was she doing here, Edwin was wondering, but looking at her Edwin was feeling a distinct feeling.She was looking at him like she used to do before.Before Edwin lost her, s
Edwin didn’t expect he would find Janet unconscious when he returned.He anxiously called the doctor and this time the matter looked serious.Janet’s condition was unstable, and the doctor advised to move her to the hospital.The doctor was confused as to why her health condition deteriorated so much when they were getting good results, but they could only try their best to cure her.Elisa was taking care of the children while Edwin was anxiously waiting for any good news.The doctor took a while to come out after checking Janet and Edwin knew the news wouldn’t be good.“Mr. Wilson, her vitals are good and everything looks normal, but it was like she went into a deep sleep. You can say she was in Comma, but it was not like there was anything wrong with her health, she was just unwilling to wake up,” The doctor's explanation was confusing.“What do you want to say? When would she wake up?” Edwin was only concerned about one thing.He wanted her Janet back, even if she never remembered
Janet was sitting with her children while they were playing on the living room floor and Edwin was doing something on his laptop.“Mommy, look we have made our house,” Erica showed her the makeshift house that she made with Lego.“Beautiful,” Janet said with a smile, though the house looked anything but house.“Dad, look,” Eric called Edwin to show him his house.Eric who was always ready to get appreciation from Edwin asked for Edwin’s confirmation.Erica was always the princess of Edwin and Janet, but Eric got connected with Edwin the most and always tried to ask his opinion on every tiny thing.Maybe it was the boy's things trying to connect with his father.“Nice, just you need to…” Edwin got up from his place and sat on the floor to help him renovate his house.Erica also ran toward him to get some help and Edwin helped her to make a pink house for her doll.Everything was so perfect yet Janet didn’t know why Edwin was still keeping his distance.Edwin returned to his work after
“Do you think he is impotent?” Janet asked and Elisa almost spitted her coffee out of shock.“What the hell? Where did this thought come from?” Elisa asked laughing, and Janet frowned.“Otherwise, why won’t he touch me?” Janet asked and Elisa couldn’t stop her laughing hearing her reason.Janet and Elisa were sitting in the Wilson group cafeteria and drinking coffee when Janet started this conversation.Edwin had brought Janet to his office as promised, and Elisa was giving her company as Edwin had an important meeting.“Though I hate this conversation, I can assure you he is not,” Elisa said and Janet was confused.“Why are you so sure?” Janet asked and Elisa sighed.“Janet, are you sure you need to discuss this matter only with me? He is my brother and I shouldn’t discuss his sexual life, at least. It’s so creepy,” Elisa said with disgust and Janet understood.This conversation must be making her uncomfortable.But Janet didn’t know who to talk with other than Elisa when this matter
One month later,Edwin was slowly getting back into his usual life.He was going to the office regularly and Eric and Erica had joined a school in Sydney.Everything was getting back to normal.Eric and Erica had gotten used to their life here and though they sometimes ask about William, they weren’t as much concerned as Edwin had thought they would be.Maybe they also think of him as a replaceable part of their life, which was a relief, because he would never compromise about this matter.William was a dark chapter in their life and he made sure he would never get a way back to their life.Edwin was trying hard so that they completely forgot that horrible person.Children’s memory is limited and someday maybe they would forget someone named William existed in their life.Janet was sitting on the bed while waiting for Edwin.It’s been more than a month since she had got consciousness.Though she didn’t remember about their marriage or anything about Edwin something was bothering Janet
Edwin was sitting in his office, and Ben entered with a file.“Did you get any news?” Edwin was impatiently waiting for any clue about William.He was still in Sydney because Edwin had blocked all the airports and the bus stops for him and unless the earth had engulfed him or the sky had hidden him, he couldn’t hide for long.“Yes, he was hiding in an old abandoned building. He thought we wouldn’t find him there,” Ben said with a scoff, and Edwin laughed mockingly.“He had underestimated our power. If we weren’t that ignorant, we would have found Janet early,” Edwin was so regretful about that.He thought Chesley wouldn’t keep Janet in the country, so they neglected this part, Janet could be anywhere nearby.Only if they have searched carefully.But William wasn’t lucky this time.“Our men have taken him to the warehouse, what do you want to do? Should I call the police and inform them of his whereabouts?” Ben asked, but Edwin wasn’t ready to show him mercy.He dared to touch Edwin’s
