At night A car was burning. A man in his late fifty was lying on the road in the pool of his blood. A young man around twenty-two years was shouting for help. He was sitting near the old man. His head on his lap. "Dad, please hold on. Help is coming. The ambulance is on the way. Please keep open your eyes" The Young man begged "Ryan my son, listen to me carefully. Maybe this will be my last word. So, please listen to this carefully" Mr. Hunter said with so much pain "Dad, please do not say like this. Nothing to going to happen to you. I am going to save you. You have to live. You can not leave me" Ryan cried out. Hunter smiled sadly. "I think my time has come. It is the time to say goodbye. I am so sorry my son to leave you like this. But before closing my eyes I want to say something. I do not want you to run after revenge. Do not kill them for killing me. I want to kill the dream for which they did this to me. They wanted my company to go bankrupt. I want you to take our company to the place where no one can take till now. I want you to know as the most successful businessman not only in this country but all over the world. I want to spread our company all over the world. I want them to feel so small in front of you. I know I am asking too much. I know I am being selfish but I really want it. Promise, me son, that you will take care of our company" Hunter said and coughed up blood. Ryan held his father's hands and spoke up,"I do everything as you want Dad but please do not give up. You can make it. You can fight" Ryan said and Hunter held his hands "I am sorry son. I am sorry for leaving you alone in this cruel world. Always remember my boy, your dad loves you. Me and your mom will watch you from there" Hunter said and his hands fell on the ground. "Dad" Ryan whispered and shook him "Dad, look at me. I know you can fight. You can not give up Dad, look at me" Ryan whispered but Hunter did not move... Ryan looked at his dad's body which was wounded badly. He hugged him tightly and cried his heart out... "Noooooo" Ryan shouted and woke up from sleep He looked around and found himself in his cabin. He grabbed the water bottle and gulped down the water in a go. He put down the bottle on the desk and leaned against his chair. It has been four years since the accident but he still feels like it happened yesterday. Ryan looked at his watch and saw it was 4.30 in the morning. Means he just slept for thirty minutes. Ryan ran his hand in his hair. After this accident, he was never able to sleep in peace. His father's face kept coming in front of him. His last words give him strength. Ryan stood up and took his suit then left his cabin. He went towards his private lift. After entering in the lift, he pressed the 75 floors. His penthouse. For the last two years, he has been living in his penthouse. Without his father, his mansion looks so lonely. And the loneliness suffocated him. So, he moved out and made a penthouse on the top floor of his company. When the lift reached the floor, Ryan came out and went towards the door. He opened the door and switched on the lights. He threw his suit on a couch and entered his room. Taking out his clothes he entered his washroom. After taking a long shower he came out. He wore his jogging clothes and left his room. He went towards the dining table as his stomach was calling for food. He did not get time to eat breakfast or lunch. As it was 5 in the morning now he also did not eat dinner. Ryan picked up an apple and entered his kitchen. He made a cup of black coffee for him then he went towards the living room. He sat down on a couch near a big window from where he could almost see the whole city. Ryan sips the black coffee. He was looking outside when his eyes fell on a banner. It was a movie's banner. Ryan looked at the banner and felt pain inside him. It was his movie's banner. Four years ago he was one of the top actors. From the top, model he became the top actor. Acting is his passion, his hobby. But after this accident, his life changed. His passion changed. His hobby changed. Ryan fisted his hand in anger. "It was my fault. I knew the rivals threatened Dad to move away from the project. I knew the meeting was dangerous but still, I let Dad go for the meeting alone because of my damm shootings. If I accompanied Dad then he would have been alive today. Everything happened because of me" Ryan said and held the coffee cup tightly. The coffee broke into pieces. It hurt his hand but he ignored the pain. Ryan stood up and left for jogging. Wearing a cap and a mask on his face, Ryan was jogging. Every time he comes fit jogging he hides his face like this. Because his fans are still crazy for him. They still like to chase him but he does not like it anymore. After half an hour, Ryan stood in from his company. Ryan looked at his company with pride. He completed his promise. Now everyone knows about his company. He has succeeded in spreading his company all over the world. And about the rivals, Ryan dragged them on the road. He destroyed their not only business but also life. At first, he wanted to hand over them to the police but later he changed his mind. He does not want them to live on the government's money. So, he dragged them to the point where they struggled to manage a single bread. Ethan removed his cap and mask. He looked at his company which was screaming with power and luxury. Ryan put the mask in the dustbin and then entered the office.Author's POVAt Anderson MansionLossLossLoss"Since last few years, I have lost every single deal. What is happening?

I don't understand why your dad adopted her. She is nothing but a mad girl. I feel sick of her. I feel really ashamed to say she is one of our family members of the society" The woman shouted."Then do you think, I love her? Hell no. You do not have any idea how much I hate her. Because of her, I can not invite any guests to my house. Because of her the company still treats me like a major shareholder, not a CEO. Just because my dad gave his half wealth in her name. Now she has the equal right to every wealth like me" The man said"Then why don't you kill her?" The woman asked"Do you think I do not think about it?
