"How long have you been planning for this? And I didn't even have the slightest idea! You betrayed me!" I shouted at James, "Why would you do this?"

'I was in shock' would be the understatement.

He fucking got me fired from the company!

He planned it!

He worked with the board behind my back!

How could he do it?

Why?

We had conflicts, fine! But why would he do this?

Weren't we friends before we became business partners?

It was my fucking brain child, for God's sake!

"You deserve it." he said calmly.

"I deserve it?" I said incredulously, "Why? Just because I didn't agree with your ideologies?"

"You can take it that way." He said.

"I'm in shock right now. And the shock is not just because I got fired. It's because you did this to me." I said, "You betrayed me."

"I will say it again." he said, "You deserved this. I don't regret anything."

"James... You are..." I was at a loss for words.

"Give me some time. I'm going to come up with something bigger than this. Mark my words." I said with vengeance.

"Sure. Go ahead." He smiled.

"You will see." I said.


"Edward..." she said, "I swear I had no idea that he was planning something like that. I was also shocked when I got to know that. I thought..."

"I don't really care about what you thought about it." I snapped.

I didn't want to, but talking about all this was making me angry all over again.
