Techno Corporation

“Sir, Sir. Our server has crashed! Everything is down.”

 Wes stared horrified at the IT guy that rushed into his office.

“Then what are you standing here for? Go fix it! Why do you need me to tell you that?” The veins on Wes’s neck stood out.

The guy looked down at his shoes.

“I – I can’t”

“Is this company full of morons?’ he thought to himself.

“What do you mean you can’t? Why are you the head of the IT department if you can’t fix something so straightforward?”

“Sir. This is more complex than I have ever seen before. It looks like an outside source has done this– this is beyond my knowledge.”

Wes closed his eyes, “Can you speak English? What outside source? How is that possible? Didn’t we buy the best program out there to prevent this? Are you telling me the company wasted money!”

“It must be an Elite hacker sir. Hopefully, they will contact us soon, and tell us what they want. Normally they are after money.”

“Are you telling me I should wait? That is your plan to WAIT!”

Wes noticed his assistant standing at the door.

“Speak!”

“Sir, all our orders have been frozen by Targo.”

Wes immediately stood to his feet

“What do you mean our orders have been frozen by Targo? What about those we already paid for?”

“They already returned our money. They said they are canceling all future deals with us until further notice.”

Wes slowly sat down. His cell phone started ringing on the table. In a daze, he picked it up and glanced at the caller id.

“Father?” He answered.

“What have you done? The company shares have started to tumble. What have you done?” His fathers asked

Wes looked at his watch seeing that there was only an hour left before the engagement party would start.

“I will fix it,” Wes said and ended the call.

Alice arrived at the reception. Dressed in a long black crystal dress that showed off her figure. Her hair was loosely braided and decorated with white daisies. Her elegance and beauty had the people in awe as she entered the hall. She saw Jackson standing by a table talking to shareholders of his company, so she walked toward him.

He noticed her as she approached,

“Wow, but you look breathtaking tonight, Alice,” Jackson said with a smirk

“Thank you, Jackson. You also look handsome.”  

Jackson looked down at his tux…

“Nah this?” He pointed to his suite.

“This does not make me look handsome. I always look handsome no matter what I wear. Tell me, to what do I owe the pleasure of your presence?”

Alice smirked at Jackson,

“Our business will increase with Targo. A little gift to Targo, to show our appreciation.”

“Thank you. Please also thank your father on my behalf, we appreciate your business,”

Alice looked at the door, and as anticipated. Wes came storming into the reception. He saw her and marched right up to her. Before he could get near her. Khan blocked his way.

“Dear, I am so pleased to see you could make it to our engagement party,” Alice said,

“Ha, you still think I’ll want to marry you after what you did today? You must be crazy! I told you before our engagement is off. I will never reconsider.,”

“What did I do?”

Wes pointed his finger at Alice

“You!”

“Me? You are the one that is calling off the engagement. What did I do?”

“Of course! It’s off! Listen here you bitch. I know everything that happened today at Techno was you!”

“Oh, is that so? You are accusing me? How can you go around accusing people like that? I am sorry to see your company shares have dropped. But how can that possibly be me? Isn’t it maybe because of your little scandal?” Alice asked.

Wes clenched his fist against his sides as he glared at Alice.

“I will fucking kill you.”

“Oh come on Wes. Can you please stop with the threats and the accusations?”

Wes was in so much anger he forgot about the people around them. He only had one thing on his mind. He wanted Alice to undo what she did to his company.

She sounds of two people kissing echoed through the speakers. Everyone turned and looked at the white screen behind them.

“It’s Wes and… I cannot make out her face. Why did they blur out her face?”

“Oh my goodness, They're taking off their clothes.” Murmurs went around the room.

Wes turned to Alice,

“TURN IT OFF. NOW!”

“Accusations again,” Alice said

West took a step forward.

“That - That is my fucking wife. Lolardo, a Mafia leader screamed out.

The blood in Wes’s veins turned cold. He turned toward the screen. He watched in horror as the video that was showing displayed the woman's face. He watched the videos changing one after the other. Revealing every woman he had ever slept with. Showing in detail how he made love to them. People stared astonished at the screen.

“I am so glad you told me to be here Alice,” Jackson said as he clinked his glass against hers.

Wes stood frozen. His eyes darted around the room at the husbands of each wife he slept with. He glanced at the door but the leader's men already blocked them.

Wes turned to Alice. She smirked at him showing him she enjoys every moment. This was the only time he ever saw her smile at him. If you would call that one.

Alice slowly walked up to him.

“I am not done yet. This is only the beginning.” She turned around and walked out of the reception hall.

    Kevin felt something wet dripping on him. He looked up and noticed the dark clouds above him. The rain poured down upon him. He sat like that for a few moments before he stood up with Alice in his arms. He walked toward his car, opened the back door, and laid her gently on the back seat. He wiped his tears roughly with his arm as he walked toward the driver's side and slid behind the wheel. He started the car and drove off.Kevin stood in the field. The rain had stopped but the clouds were still thick and dark in the air.With the shovel in his hand, he looked down at Alice’s grave a few km from the Orphanage that had burned down. This was their place, where they were happy, and this is the place where he wanted her to rest. Kevin slid on his knees. The gentle breeze blew past him leaving no sound. Like an ocean takes the dirty sand so has my heart been taken away with you. Only a shell of a man remains.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Kevin disappeared after the death of Alice. He chang

    There is a saying that tomorrow is not promised to anyone. How too aware was Alice of these words? She never cared for these words since she only had revenge to live for, but everything changed when she met Kevin again. She somehow saw hope in her dark life again.Alice tore her eye from Adriano and looked at Khan. Her gaze was sharp, her face was void of any emotion. Khan frowned.“You don’t believe me, do you?” He asked.Alice kept his gaze for a second before she responded.“Oh no, I do believe you.”Khan could not handle Alice's calm demeanor.He burst out laughing and looked down at Adriano who was clenching his chest.“Do you hear that Adriano? She heard every word I said, yet she shown no emotion toward it.” Khan continued laughing while he clapped his hands looking ecstatic about the discovery. “You’re really one heartless woman Alice.”“Are you done?” Alice asked bored. She sneered as she continued, “I may be heartless, but I am not naive, I know how to value the people that

    Alice's brows furrowed as her gaze focused on the wheels of Maisie’s bed. She felt a pull on her hand and looked up only to meet Kevin’s eyes.“Are you coming?” He asked.Deep in thought, she gazed at him for a few seconds until her attention was drawn to the ringing of her phone. Without looking at the caller Id she answered almost like knowing who it was. Without saying a word, she held the phone against her ear.“Come home. You have 30 minutes.” Left with only those words the call ended.Alice gazed forward. She lowered the phone with a cold expression and turned to Kevin.“I have some personal matter to deal with first.”Kevin frowned. Uneasiness suddenly overwhelmed him. He could not understand the agitation he felt.“I’ll come with you,” Kevin said without hesitance.“No, Kevin. Maisie has yet to awaken. Your family needs you here. I will deal with my matters and then return.”Kevin could not rebuke her request and could only look as she walked away.He has dealt with many matte

    “We are losing her.” Doctor Ian yelled,“She’s coding!”“Crash Cart!”“Clear!!”‘Somehow Maisie knew Luca we're gone. It was as though her soul was still longing, searching for him. Was he calling for her?‘My dearest heart-’‘Sad isn’t it though? To think you are still yearning for him. Sadly, I confess, yes, I still love him. I think - I think, even before I knew what those words meant I knew that I love him, even if he didn’t. I still so deeply loved him. Tell me though, how can I be an architect of my own life if I could not even control you? Every cell and fiber in my body can contest that these words are true. Oh, my dear heart, that once used to beat underneath my chest. Do you still think of this as beautiful?”Kevin and Alice rushed into the hospital toward the emergency room.“There is a young girl that was brought in a while ago, we are her family. Where is she?” Alice asked the lady sitting behind the reception desk.“Give me a moment.” The lady said as she franticly typed

    How significantly can one choice change a life? Standing in the doorway and looking down at the bruised figure laying still on the cold concrete floor, Luca felt himself forgetting to breathe for a faint moment. He knew if he took one step over the invisible line that was drawn between him, and her his life would be over. ‘Mine or hers? Mine or hers? He kept repeating the phrase in his mind even though he already knew the answer to it. His hands trembled at his side as his feet slowly crossed the line, he was so desperately anxious to cross throughout his life. Was the iceberg he built around his heart broken down piece by piece by her when he did not notice?Maisie’s eyes shot open, and he stopped. Lifeless eyes stared back at him. They were dull, the light that they once held was gone broken to pieces.“M - Maisie,” The voice that left his lips even sounded foreign to him.She did not move. She did not speak but only stared back at him emotionlessly. Her face was bruised, her lips s

    Breathing felt difficult for Luca as he closed the door behind him.“No, please. OH, heavens no!” Maisie’s cries echoed through the door.Luca closed his eyes as he held onto the doorknob. He knew well enough what Leo was doing inside. The lump that had formed in his throat felt like it was suffocating him. He could not get himself to turn around and walk away like all the previous times. Her pleading cries felt like a thousand blades had pierced into his flesh. With closed eyes, Luca slid to his knees.‘Why did he have to stay and torment his soul, why couldn't he just stand up and walk away like a normal fool? He could not. He could not seem to get his limbs to move. His head banged against the cold concrete floor. To muffle out the sound he tightly pressed his hands against his ears. But to no prevail, he could still hear every sound.Flashbacks of his past flickered before his eyes. He was taken back to the memory of his mother.With no recollection of his Father, hell he does not
