Chapter 4 Adam William

Adam William

In a big conference hall, top-notch multi billionaires gathered on each table for one purpose. Buying auctioned Companies which are out of financial crisis or the exact word, out of 'bankruptcy' has to sell to bidders like them.

"Opening bid will begin from 5 million dollars." The auctioneer started the bid and darted his eyes over the potential buyers gaining everyone's full attention.

Few seconds later a woman dressed in business attire sitting in the front row held her red card in the air and announced, "10 million dollars."

"Well, here we have 10 million dollars. 10 million dollars..." And before the auctioneer continue chanting when an old man in his mid-50s rose his red card in the air and lose out.

"15 million dollar."

"Do I hear 15 million dollars?"

"20 million dollars" Another buyer bids in the air. And thus, the bidding continues. It was when the amount reaches to 30 million dollars and voices subdued, the auctioneer counts numbers in rapid manner. The architecture company was about to get sold and thus with that the auction was coming to an end.

"5"

"4"

"3"

Among all these buyers, a man was sitting in the middle of the hall with his assistant. As the auctioneer was about to finalize the deal he tipped with his chin and his assistant shouted loud and clear. "60 million dollars."

All the eyes of the buyers present in the room shifted to the centre.

Shocked.

Slowly Adam's lips curved upward in a devilish smirk.

But the man's sinister piercing gaze were fixed at the auctioneer who was visibly shocked after hearing the amount. Some seconds later he composed his demeanour and announced confidently with a smile, "And finally the Rising Star Company is sold to Mr Adam William at 60 million dollars."

In between those clapping sound, Adam rose up to his feet and got up to the stage in sheer confidence. Power oozes from his body the way he carries himself. The auctioneer forwarded the pen and he typed his signature on the paper claiming his ownership.

When he straightens up, his eyes flit to the man standing near the left door of the hall. His eyes full of hurt watching someone else acquisitioning his hard owned company.

Adam's piercing gaze continued staring at the man observing his expression. Grief was evident in that person's face after losing his company forever but does he care. No.

Because he is the one who brought this storm upon that man, Mr. Flamingo and relentlessly pushed him towards his downfall.

Why?

Because he can. If he wants something he takes it. Damn with the consequences. One thing he has learnt in hard way that the world is not for weak people. They stumble and perish in the dust.

That's why he refuses to become anything other than unconquerable monarch.

Only one name would be resounding in the business world.

Number one company in the world- 'William Co& Enterprise.'

Adam slowly smirked, enjoying the helplessness in his eyes as he pushes his right hand inside his pant pocket. When he removed his gaze from Mr. Flamingo, if falls on the woman beside him who was comforting her husband.

His eyes linger on her face and the women gulps before she lowers her eyes blinking several times unable to match his intense stares.

Flashback-

Adam was in the washroom when he heard a female voice and turned.

"I'm here to offer myself in exchange of my husband's business..." Saying the woman slides down the string from each side of her shoulders and the beautiful red dress pools down around her feet revealing her perky boobs half covered in red expensive pushup bra and her silky soft skin around her belly. Adam takes in her appearance slowly and finally lands on her red net designed panty before sliding down her legs that grazed against five inches pointed heels.

He watched her with unreadable expression. He can see how she was slightly trembling while presenting herself but her face showed confidence.

"What gives you the notion that I'm going to win the auction?"

"That's how it has been with others." She answered with one raised brows.

Adam smirked sadistically, arrogance reflecting in those eyes. She is right. Whoever been his target met the same fate like her husband. "You are smart. But not enough to know when to shed clothes. I don't mix business with pleasures."

Hues of shame covered her face at his blatant rejection.

Adam tilts his head to the side, watching the woman for few seconds which made her nervous.

"Wear your clothes." Were his last words before he straightens his head and passed by her side leaving her all alone in the male washtoom to comprehend over her own foolish action.

Flashback ends.

Adam smirks. He has not only ruined her husband but also bruised her ego by refusing to accept her offer. Giving her once over he looks straight ahead.

Like a king after winning a war, he takes long strides out of the room. His chauffer waiting outside the entrance door. When he spotted his master , he rushed unlocking the door of the car and Adam climbs inside. He glanced at his wrist draped in expensive swish watch checking the time before instructing his chauffer where to take him.

Adam's mind went back to Mr. Flamingo's wife. It wasn't like she wasn't desirable. Or he is a saint. No, he is the worst kind of human being ever possible.

He had fair share of women but each and every one of them were gone within the night. He plays with his rules and not the other way round. He never chose women from his business circles or anyone who worked for him. Because he doesn't want to ruin whatever he has built over the decades. That's how he kept his professional life clean and spotless. Which is why he let her go.

Temptation. Women provide to be men's greatest temptation.

Anyone who overcomes this distracting bait can surely win the world.

And he will not only win but rule in this world.

No matter who gets crushed on his way.
