Bad Company Ruins Good Morals Novels & Stories

At the end, we somehow ended up driving to his place instead of mine, and the worst part was that the situation was entirely my fault because I had been so angry with him earlier that I stormed out of the house without thinking properly, climbed into his stupid car out of pure frustration, and only realized much later that I had left my purse behind on the kitchen counter, the very purse that contained everything I needed, including my house key, my wallet, and even my phone charger.

I groaned and hit the bed. "He's so mean," I mumbled. I sighed and calmed down, realising that I had almost been raped by Nathan and his friends. How could I be so stupid enough to fall for his trap? If it wasn't for Raven, only Lord knows what state I could've been in. I would have hated myself, and Raven could've hated me more than he already does.

He was a monster…he didn't offer any consoling words or maybe cuddling, or try to ease the pain he caused. Would it kill him to be gentle? It was literally rape; what he did to me. And yet…I wished the ground would open up and swallow me. I enjoyed it. God help me, but I did. Every pull, every shove, every choke hold on me drove me crazy with each second. Perhaps this is what my mom talked about when she called men evil, and nothing but agents of the devil who would stop at nothing to corrupt the souls of innocent women. Zayne said it himself…that he was going to corrupt me.

“He doesn’t let many people in and he has been hurt a lot. Rhett, you could hurt him more than you realize. Please, be careful with my friend’s heart and reputation.” “Dad, you think I don’t know already that I could be bad for Gabriel? I love him and I am always afraid that I might reflect badly on him or I might tarnish his reputation. I am cautious because I know that, but I want him to see I can be good for him. I want you to see that I can be good for him and not the disgrace you think I am,” I say with a sigh. “I know you think I am bad for Gabriel and I don’t blame you. I slept around and partied a lot, but I won’t give up my art and music, just being a man-whore and party boy.”

On the path of revenge, you have to throw away the righteous… I exhaled to show my frustration as I ran my hands in my hair. I felt humiliated, that's not me. 'She deceived you' My mind tried to justify my act but it cannot give me any consolation as I felt utterly disgraced. “SHIT!” I threw away my dignity, just in hatred. I groaned in annoyance, my mind was clouded with mixed emotions of contamination, hatred and sadness. ‘Please someone guide me before I lose my track of virtue’

"I won't lie—you might still face charges. But we're going to fight for immunity with everything we have." "And your company?" Isabella asked quietly. "The fallout from all this will be massive. Stockholders will panic. Partners will flee. Your reputation—" "Will survive or it won't. But I'd rather have a damaged reputation and clear conscience than the alternative." Damien's jaw set in determination. "Besides, there are good people at Blackwell Industries. People who had nothing to do with Dad's crimes. Once we clean house, we can rebuild on actual ethics instead of corruption masked as legacy."

"You were so blinded by anger, greed and your desire for control that you couldn't see how much you were lacking—" "What is that supposed to mean?!" Morris snapped at her "What else is that supposed to mean?! Don't you get it?! You ruined your own self. You ruined everything! You messed up what should have been a peaceful company relationship between two business associates due to your greed and jealousy. If you were as capable as you claim you are, you wouldn't have to act like a coward who goes around fabricating lies about an innocent man. You messed up big time, Morris and you will pay for it"

"Security will escort you out. Personal items will be shipped to your homes. You're banned from this building effective immediately." They filed out in silence, their shock and humiliation palpable. The man who'd been head of finance looked back at me with something like fear. "You're making a mistake. This company will fail without us." "This company failed the moment Alex Morrison built it on blood and lies." I met his eyes. "I'm not rebuilding his legacy. I'm destroying it and creating something new. Something clean. Now get out." Security escorted them to the elevators. I watched through the glass walls as they rode down, seven men whose careers had ended because they'd chosen complicity

The empire. Their parents had sacrificed years of their lives to build it. That was exactly why she couldn’t allow corruption to destroy it. Without turning around, she spoke. “Mom and Dad built this company with honesty.” Neither brother answered. “And someone is poisoning it from the inside.” Kelvin sighed heavily. “We all know that.” “Then why are you fighting me?” “Because your solution is worse.” They replied in harmony. Marilyn spun around. “Worse than corruption?” “Worse than destroying innocent lives.” Kelvin stood again. His face was filled with emotion. “Do you know what happens if you shut everything down?”

He showed some sympathy. “If you feel bad, then why don’t you just help me escape this place? I have to leave, please.”. There was nothing that I wanted more than to see myself out of that building. I was ready to do anything just to see myself out of that building. “Smash won’t hesitate to fill my head with bullets if I ever betray him. It was so hard to earn his trust…I can’t. He took me in when I lost my parents.” He shook his head in disapproval. I knew that he was the only guy who could help me escape. It was written all over his face—he wanted to help me.
