James had been iterrogated by the police for a few hours,but he refused to speak without meeting his lawyer.After he met his lawyer and a break,he was interrogated again.

This time he gave answers and all of them were basically the same,'I don't know','I wasn't aware' etc.No matter what,he would never admit to his fault.

The police gave up and decided to continue again later.

That day another hot article took over U nation.

'The finding of illegal substances in WAZs supply trucks,CEO of WAZ,James Brown,previously involved in a cheating scandal with supermodel Hannal Williams,arrested by police this afternoon.'

The value of WAZ had dramatically fallen.It couldn't even compare to the drop of value from the cheating scandal.Many investors had sold their shares as quickly as possible,to get as much profit as they could.But the last straw for the remaining investors to completely abandon WAZ,was the news of Isabel Riccis divorce request.They had had a certain hope that maybe Isabel would show up and come save the day,they all knew who was the real capable one,but divorce meant complete abandonment by her.She was a woman with huge pride,she would never save her adulterous husbands company just for charity.She had no shares,so she couldn't be bothered.If anything she would love to see it hit underground,because rock bottom wouldn't be enough.

What was weird was that two people kept buying WAZs shares.They didn't know if the people were stupid and didn't what was happening,but that would also be impossible since every media had been posting about the arrest and crime.Who was stupid enough to board a sinking ship?Who was willing to spend so many money on buying a company with no future?Did they have too much money and were bored?

Nobody would answer the questions since these people were so secretive and powerful that no single information or clue about their identity could be found.

Not long passed and James was released from prison.His 'business parteners' had stepped in themselves to save him.All James needed to do was stay quiet,behave and deny all the accusations,they would fix the rest.Those people had managed to make the truck driver take the blame and threaten him that if he didn't admit they would make his family miserable.The poor driver couldn't bear to watch his already struggling family struggle even more and decided to take the hush money for his family.He might be in prison,but at least his family could live a better life.

After a few days of rest,James finally went in to the company to meet with the new board of directors.He had gotten wind of the news that two people had bought a huge amount of the shares if WAZ while he was in prison and today would finally be the day that he would meet them.For now nobody had as many shares as him in the board of directors,but if those two mysterious people joined hands together,then he wouldn't be able to do whatever he wanted easily.So his mission now was to win these people over.

These people were also really impressive,they had managed to stabalize WAZs state in such a short amount of time and with Isabels divorce,capable people that were on his side was what James needed most.

After entering,his personal assistant was waiting for him at the front door,soon following after James when he started heading to the meeting room.

"Have those two new directors come yet?"

"No,sir.But they said they were on their way."

"Good.Is everything ready for the meeting?"

"Yes,everything is ready."

"I want no mistakes.Is that clear?"

"Yes,sir."

James stormed in the meeting room,but to his surprise he was the one who had come till now.Had he messed up the time?James checked his watch.No he was perfectly on time,but what of the others.

James decided to sit down on his seat and wait.But every person who would attend this meeting came late.All of them came like half an hour later like they were doing this to spite him.Everyone who knew James,knew that he was a person who cared about punctuality.If you were late in a meeting,he would you a hard time,but since everybody was late he couldn't just yell at everyone.But those two major shareholders weren't here yet.They still were this late!

James called over his assitant.

"Did you call them?Where are they?Are they stuck on traffic or something?Why are they so late for the meeting?"

"I called and asked sir,but they just said they were on their way."

James grunted and dissmised the assistant with his hand.

Tick Tock.The clock in James's heart kept ticking.He didn't why he had a sudden rush of anxiety and nervousness with each passing second.It was just two shareholder,bothing so major.Why was he nervous like on his first day of meeting his boss?

Soon a few voices were heard behind the doors that led outside the meeting room.One felt like a soft laughter of a woman and another like a gentle voice of the man.A few other voices sounded,but those two voices kept ringing inside James's head.A bad feeling rose in his heart,especially when hearing the voice of the woman.Suddenly it got quiet and after a second the doors were pushed open.

An elegant woman wearing all black,pushing a wheelchair where a young man in a dark suit sat.

The woman had barely put any makeup,but was completely breathtaking.Her cherry lips stood out in contrast with her snowwhite skin and her brown hair was slightly curled in the ends,but what stood out most were her brilliant emerald eyes.

The man on the wheelchair was incredibly dashing.Sitting on the wheelchair didn't make him look weak at all,but rather noble.His features were handsome and refined and his pair of golden eyes were sharp like that of a hunter.

When James saw the people,he almost fainted and finally understood the bad feeling in his heart,especially when he saw the woman.

No,that can't be.How could these two be together?
