The Billionaire's secret Love by Manogyna Marthi (positive books to read .txt) 📗

Chapter 18

Angelica

Augustus Martin's surge of eruptions about my dad brought my psyche to a furore. Though I challenged him about my father's innocuousness, there was in some corner of my heart a fear, an unquenched agitation about the possibility of truth in his words which could shake my existence to bric-a-brac. My father Mr Robert Evans is a loving and caring patriarch but the other side of him is an ugly and a cruel mafia leader who shambled many innocent people lives without a blink.

Taking a cab I rushed home immediately and confronted my dad about everything I heard from the malicious billionaire a while ago. With every question that fell out of my lips, I notice his expressions running havoc from radiance to a sheer torture. Slowly he reveals everything about my family's past starting from Xavier, the father of Augustus Martin's involvement in breaking my parent's happy marriage to my dad's incarcerated acrimony towards the Martins for shattering our lives to bits and pieces.

I couldn't hold my dad's misery anymore. Circling my arms around his declining form I make a decision most warranted. It is high time for the Martins to be taught a lesson. Mr Martin count on your stars that I don't join your firm else the repercussions can be quite bad. I challenge to myself.

For the next few days I was moving around the city of Newyork for a job hunt. Though I was initially accepted by almost every company I applied, eventually my resume was turned down. The reason being nobody wants to rub on the wrong side of ominous insensitive businessman Augustus Martin for the Martins control three fourths of the American economy.

After a weak of hard trial into almost every company in the city of Newyork I come to terms with fate to join the Sunrise Industries with a vanquishing demeanour. Though dealing with the wretch was no doubt a challenge, it were my dad's words that keep ringing in my mind which boost the courage in me to face any kind of savaging situation. "My Pretty Sunshine you are a fighter and when you try you can even make the impossible happen." 
My parents are my role model in my every step of life. "Princess you are my weakness as well as my strength. Just remember one thing this old man of yours would fight to his last straw than see you in pain." My dad speaks to me in his tearing words. "Augustus would never hurt you. I have seen it in his eyes when he dropped you home the time you were drunk and unconscious. Your dad's sight might have gone weak over the years but his vision in perceiving a person hadn't faltered especially when it applies to his precious daughter." He reassures me. "You will have a great start of your career with Sunrise Industries. They are the leaders in today's business world and I promise you will be happy working for Augustus." My dad pats my shoulder with his promising look wishing me luck on the first day of my office.

After our little emotional break through I have a hearty breakfast with my dad when he erupts into a sudden cough. After a while he eases and assures me to proceed for my workplace wishing me the best with his freshly baked chocolate cookies. These cookies will surely make the best times even in the worst situations. I think to myself and call the cab. Going inside I was welcomed with the same receptionist who I met the last time I came here.

Within next few minutes I was sent inside his room. "So you are back after failing your innumerable trials in looking for a job." He mocks with his eyes still stationed on the file in his hands. "Well this city is covered with mucks who mind more about others businesses rather their own. I reply him instantaneously in an acrid. Expeditious his eyes flash at me fierce like the orbs of a wolf before catching its prey and speak his words venomous. "Miss Angelica Evans watch on what you speak to your boss because there won't be a next time, I am going to spare you with your dirty language. And I wish to remind I haven't sent the cops to your home as yet to arrest your dad while you are a week late in joining the firm."

Well done Angelica, you just pulled the brute's hair belonging his sensitive area. I gulp inaudible and speak my further words cautious. "What is the nature of my work?" He looks down from his seat and opens one of the drawers of his office desk. Throwing a file on the table rather harshly he lets out rancorous. "Read the contents of the document and sign it before leaving. And tomorrow you are going to start your work by sharp nine." He enunciates giving no room to voice my thoughts.

Congratulations Angelica, you wanted to teach the devil a lesson? Well on the contrary you just ended up in signing your life to him.
