Share Holders

"Ben, you have to attend the meeting," said Alex, looking at Ben who had been staying behind Sarah for the past week.

"Yes, I will be with Sarah, so go freshen up and attend the meeting Ben. We bought you a suit as well," said Meg handing over the jet-black suit which Sarah loves most.

"Sir it necessary you do attend, the shareholders are expecting you. And if you don't we really don't know how to handle some matters," pitched in Jason.

After looking at what they all said, I knew I cannot skip it. So I got ready quickly leaving Sarah in Meg's care. She is still unconscious and the media has been still going wild about the news plus the involvement of Megan's actions.

In the car, Jason handed me some files to go through. Even though the work is going smoothly with my father and Alex looking into it, the shareholders had been wanting to meet. There had been some issues regarding keeping my marriage a secret. They also discussed some incidents that happened in the past few years regarding some projects that I declined to work. Well, I had my reasons which they didn't know.

"Are you sure he is going to attend?"

"Yes I heard he is on his way,"

"How is his wife doing?"

"Still no improvement as I heard. Well, I never thought that little girl to be his wife at all,"

"Yes, it was a real surprise. They do match well,"

"But do you know why they kept the marriage a secret? I mean even Alex did it too,"

"I do remember that Sarah had been in hospital after an accident a few years ago,"

"Good morning, gentleman," said Clifford (Ben's father).

"Glad you all could make it. Ben will be here in a few minutes,"

"How is your daughter-in-law?"

"She is still unconscious, but we are hoping for the best,"

"No wonder, they sync together. Their work does show it off,"

"That's true, Max, they do have a special chemistry," said Clifford a little proud of his daughter-in-law.

At the same time,

"Father and the other members, I am sorry for being a bit late. I had to meet the doctor before coming here," I said entering the conference room with Jason and Alex.

They all looked at me and I knew I had to explain everything to them today. Though none of them have trust issues with us, I felt it was right to tell them the truth, even though I cannot disclose information about the investigations.

"Father, and the shareholders, I bet all of you are wondering why I kept quiet about my marriage to Sarah. Even though none of you did realize there had been some issues regarding some fruitful contracts in the past, which I declined later. Do you realize why I did it?

I hope you remember a few years ago when my father was the CEO, there had been some data went missing. So we investigated and found some shocking news, that we are still unable to share with you as there are more investigations going on. And Sarah's accident, which happened three years ago was due to these investigations.

Because of the impact on her head, she was advised to refrain from crowded areas and not to get too stressed. That's why I had a special team trained to work under her and assist her with her work. Her condition has been with its own ups and downs and the recent doctor's appointment warned her not to be in stressful situations. But right after three days, this incident happened and now she is unconscious now."

"Ben you take a seat, I will carry on," said Alex.

"Because of these threats and investigations, Ben and I had pre-planned not to disclose our wives for the media till the paparazzi started slandering Sarah's reputation. But these situations were bought out by various people and you know the recent one was created by Megan McClarie. Yes, she is under arrest and her business is all hand over to her cousin.

I know you all want to know who is behind all these incidents for a long time, but unfortunately, we cannot disclose those classified details. We have made many shocking discoveries and if we are being frank this is all just created by one person as a generation's revenge. We are trying to put a stop to once and for all,"

Everyone looked shocked. I know the shareholders would have a lot to think about and these discoveries are not easy to dismiss.

"Ben, can you even give us a hint of who is behind all these?"

"I am sorry sir, I am not in a position to disclose any information as this is under the CIA"

"Really? Is it that serious?"

"Yes, just imagine a person who would try anything to gain what they want by even harming your family. He is such a dangerous person. But to the world, a well known investor and a gentleman,"

Everyone looked at each other. They knew by instinct they must know this person but they had trouble pinpointing one person out.
