After that episode.
After that, Daniel and Sheetal left the institution, but Maria remained. She pressed the elevator’s button. She wanted to see her dad.
However, as soon as the elevator door opened, Maria noticed her dad inside. “Dad,” Maria murmured as she narrowed her eyes.
“Baby, what are you doing here?” James asked after releasing his folded arms.
James swiftly emerged after holding Maria’s hand.
Maria: Dad, I came to see you here.
Her voice was anxious, as she stated. ” But you don’t seem good, right?” she asked next. ” What is wrong?” Is everything okay? Did you take any action? “
James dragged her away while saying “maria.”
“What’s wrong, dad? Just tell me”, Maria asked, frowning.
James hauled her away after failing to respond to her.
James hurriedly stepped into the car as Maria interrogated him.
James’ point of view.
Maria comes here to find out. But how will I tell her that her dad has just broken his word? I didn’t anticipate her showing up here. Also, I am aware of my daughter’s anger. If she finds out I couldn’t do anything, she will be furious. I must quickly return home and explain everything to her.
So I ordered the driver to return home as soon as possible.
….
Maria called James “dad.” James didn’t speak, though.
“Dad, I am asking you something.” “Did you do something?” Maria said, her voice furious and irritated.
“Maria, we can speak about it once we go home,” James responded.
But at that moment, Maria took the situation seriously and glared at James nonstop.
“No, we can’t,” Maria responded, “I want to hear it immediately,” in a slightly raucous tone.
She was determined to find out what had happened there. Did her dad succeed in expelling Sheetal from this position? James responded to Maria all while he had his eyes closed and a grimace on his face.
James: I was unable. Your dad broke his promise to you.
James murmured as he slouched his shoulders and lowered his gaze. For a while, Maria kept her eyes fixed on her dad. Her expression was grim and harsh. After some time, she grimaced and turned her face directly toward the road. James approached Maria and attempted to speak with her.
“I’m sorry, honey, please forgive me,” James said.
But James received no response from Maria. She continued to focus on the road.
James: I tried my best, Maria.
Maria, though, made no response to her father. She seemed very composed, which wasn’t at all comforting. James furrowed his brows and quietly referred to her daughter as “baby.”
Maria now answered, but she did not look at James.
She asked, “Did Daniel’s dad oppose you, dad?” Did he try to keep her safe? “
Maria quietly questioned her dad. James supported his elbow on the car’s armrest while supporting his chin in his hand. Alex wasn’t entirely engaged, but it happened as a result of this.
James’ point of view.
Tonight, I’ll see Alex. Musa dared insult me because of him. Now I am doubting that Alex knew everything from the beginning. What if he knows Musa is coming?
James tightened his hand while gnashing his teeth. His thoughts were abruptly interrupted by his daughter.
“Dad, I have a question for you,” Maria stated.
I gave Maria a glance. I don’t think I should inform Maria that Alex also backed Sheetal since she’ll be much more furious.
…..
James shook his head in the affirmative and replied, “He wasn’t.” You don’t have to be unhappy about it. “
Maria: So why have you failed?
James took a big breath and stated solemnly, “because the third shareholder also attended the meeting.” He holds a 60% stake. We can’t do anything about him.”
Maria’s eyebrows tightened as she questioned her dad, “Why so abruptly, dad?” “Who is he?”
“That implies you can’t do anything as long as he’s bound by the agreement.” Even if Sheetal is admitted to medical college, you wouldn’t do anything to her,” Maria murmured, arching her brows.
James gave a little head movement but kept quiet. Both of them ceased speaking. James was able to read his daughter’s heart and thoughts. He saw his daughter when she came here from London. Maria was quite eager to visit this place and see her old friend at the moment. But as she turned around, she saw something that shattered her heart.
Maria asked her father about that person. “Dad, who is he?” Can’t you do anything against him? ” Maria asked.
“Unfortunately, I can’t baby,” James croaked out after letting out an audible sigh. If I could, I would have done it years ago.
“So, what do we do now? Do we just sit here and do nothing? ” asked Maria.
James turned his head to face the window of the car.
James’ point of view.
No, Maria, We won’t remain seated in this manner. I have already prepared a death trap for him. Yes, I made a lot of effort to kill him, but I always fell short. And Mr. AF offered me several opportunities to kill him. But this time I’m not going to miss the chance.
But right now, I’m considering something else. And it has to do with the institution’s finances. I stole a sizable sum of money from a facility whose true owners were those orphaned students.
If Musa learns that I was the one who stole the entire sum of money, he won’t let me leave that easily. He has the authority to reject the agreement. He has the right to exclude me from the shareholders.
Damn it! I need to consider it as soon as I can. He comes here, and once he does, he will learn everything. Even where, by whom, and when the money was spent.
It will include a query regarding my existence. If it somehow leaks, my whole reputation will be destroyed in an instant.
I won’t let him do this, no matter what. I built my empire by killing people, plundering, making black money, and engaging in unlawful activities. But I also have some white pieces to camouflage all of my black activities.
And now, if Musa slowly strips everything from me, all of my illicit activities will come out effortlessly.
I can’t allow that to happen.
Scenario 3.
In the conference room.
Musa got everything out and clarified it with everyone. Musa discovered a slew of issues. A large sum of money has disappeared in some way. And those funds were intended for orphans, but they were never distributed.
After a time, Musa spoke out as she looked over some documents.
Musa: Principal, what’s up with that? Why is everything set up this way? What happened to the funds?
Principal: Mr. Musa, if you’re talking about this money, we have no idea what you’re talking about either. because we are also completely ignorant of it.
Musa: What do you mean by that? Here has been unequivocally demonstrating that the money has moved here.
Principal: It is, really. However, we have also never seen this money. It never came.
Musa queried Alex in a croaky tone while gently moving his eyes in his direction.
Musa: Would you mind explaining it, Mr. Alex?
Alex was startled when he suddenly heard Musa. Alex appeared to be lost in thought. He was pondering something.
Alex stumbled and turned to face Musa.
Alex: Wh-what?
Musa: Mr. Alex, I think you are not thinking clearly. Does something disturb you?
Alex made an effort to smile as he responded.
Alex: No, it’s not like that, Mr. Musa. I was actually engrossed in this file.
Musa: All well and good, but would you kindly explain it now?
Alex pushed his lips together and read the file. Actually, he never looked at this side of finances. James had responsibility for the financial aspect. He never let Alex reach that side.
After carefully reading the paper, Alex turned to face Musa. He was both surprised and disappointed to see this.
Alex’s point of view.
I understand who did it. This mess is also made by that jerk. What should I say at this point? Musa will definitely have doubts about this. He is aware of James and I as business partners and friends, so it is understandable if he thinks that James won’t do anything without me. He will think that we planned and stole the entire sum.
But the fact is that I was unaware that he had taken all of the money meant for the institution. This is a headache. If I don’t make the first move right now, James will trap me in this quagmire.
…..
“I’m not aware of this, Mr. Musa,” Alex remarked, tapping his fingers.
Then, Musa groaned audibly, “Who is aware of it?”
Director: Mr. James was truly responsible for this. He never gave us the chance to investigate the money or the source of the revenue. We only received a wage payment at the end of each month.
Musa turned to face Alex, nodding.”Mr. Alex, don’t you know about this?” Musa asked.
Alex: In reality, no. I don’t know. James never told me about this. He took care of all the essential details right away. He won’t even let me look it over.
Alex reasoned that he should be completely honest because it would be more difficult for him if he stated something unusual. Musa would kick him out and also James. Alex decided to take a safe route. He would no longer make an effort to protect James.
If James stole the money, he would have to answer for his actions.
Alex made the decision to remain silent and accepted all of their suggestions.
Musa crossed his legs and leaned back in his chair, saying, “Then we have a lot of discussions with Mr. James, right Mr. Alex?”
Mr. Alex stumbled, “r-right.”
“It’s really disappointing that we didn’t look after this institution very properly. Actually, I’m to blame. It’s my fault because I never tried to look into this. I was completely uninterested in this situation. This institution was initially developed for orphan children, who can freely graduate from here. However, it appears that some people here form business, which is quite repulsive, “Musa stated.
Alex lowered his gaze when he heard Musa.
He understood that Musa was right, but he couldn’t bear the burden by himself.
Director: Mr. Musa, we’re also sorry. Actually, it is our responsibility because we never asked for an interrogation meeting or asked about the financial aspect. We accepted everything Mr. James told us.
Then Musa stepped up and stated, “Then have it sent to Mr. James that we have scheduled an interrogation meeting for tomorrow.” And please don’t forget to mention him and urge him that he has to study his finances before coming here. “
They all stood up, as well as Alex.
Musa: So this meeting comes to a end here. We’ll get together tomorrow.
As soon as he finished speaking, he left the room. Everyone there was delighted to meet Musa. They appeared to be quite happy with Musa. Alex approached the door after taking a glance at it. Alex’s intention was to greet Musa. He was quite anxious about speaking to Musa.
Alex sighed and hurried outside. He spotted Musa waiting for the elevator. He swiftly hurried there after taking a swallow. He approached and stood beside him. Musa gave him a short sidelong glance and then quickly turned his attention.
The elevator door unexpectedly opened, and they entered. Ken pressed the button for the first floor.

“Are you going home tonight?” I asked.
Daniel smiled and gave a small head nod. “Okay then, be careful on the road,” I responded with a smile.
“Would you feel okay remaining alone tonight?” Daniel asked.
I responded with a nod of my head. There will come a day when everyone will have to be alone and nobody will be with them.
To be continued.
