Chapter 60 Shadow of the past
Fear oozed over her, her hands began to tremble, her throat became sore, and her head all of a sudden became sweaty.
“L.. Liam, why are you here?”. She said terrified of seeing his ghost.
“Who? Do you mean me? I am here to make sure you pay for the crimes, you committed! Did you forget, that very day?.
(She manages to push herself off the bed and immediately ran out crying out, at the top of her voice.
I poked my head out and saw how fast Elena ran to the living room, leaving her flip-flops behind.
Quickly I unveiled myself and sneaked back into my room, I know you must be wondering what happened exactly, I’ll tell!.
In my previous statement, I suggested that we play a game of hiding and seek with Elena, that’s why in my quest of making sure she gets want she deserves, I had to act like the ghost of my father, Liam Khan, by wearing a mask that looks exactly like him, to scare her and finally compel her to confess the sins she committed to the whole world! if only you could see the look in her eyes when she thought that was my dad’s ghost but in reality, it was me.
Elena’s voice alarmed everyone at home, as they all ran out of their rooms, to see the aghast look on her face.
“Mom, are you okay, why were you shouting?’. Riya attained her eyes to her.
“G.. ghost.. in.. my… room” she quivered out of fear.
Riya dragged a scared Elena back to the room, she swore that there was a ghost in there, but didn’t see anything.
“Mom, there’s no ghost here! What are you doing to yourself?”. Riya says to her.
“Huh!! That’s impossible, there was a ghost right here, please, believe me, daughter!”.
(She hugs Riya tightly as if her life depends on it, I watched from a safe distance, plastering a smile on, this is only the beginning of her downfall)
The next morning, I walked out of my room and took notice of Elena seated with a serious look on, the rest of the family walked in as well and took notice of her.
“What’s her problem, they all said to themselves, and to add the cherry on top, the newspaper arrived at the front door.
I veered further and got a hold of it, as I took note of Elena’s photo, published on the front cover with an article that reads, “famous business gets herself drunk at her party!” after reading the article, I swerved back and saw Elena standing behind, she pulls out her hands and dragged the newspaper from me, and saw the shocking news written about her.
“What?” She yells out and almost fainted out of fear, not quite long methane called out to her.
“Ma’am, please excuse me!”.
Methane walked closer to her and showed Elena a document, donning a sad look on.
“What’s Is this?” She reads through and pulled backward after confirming that the shares of the company have dropped 25%.
Without hesitation, she calls for an emergency board of directors meeting at the company, as we all left.
(Khan industries)
The second we got there, Elena rushed into the company and walked straight to the conference room, with the presence of the board of directors waiting for her.
“Good morning Elena Khan! I am sure you saw the report, your assistant showed to you?”
One of the board of directors says as I walked in sewing his eyes to me.
“Yes, Mr. Jason, I did see the shocking report, but I don’t understand why there was a drop in the company’s shares?”.
( She seats and waits for their response).NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
