My Little Sunshine

Like always he was giving the other party a chance to speak first before he had his say. His eyes roamed over the man's bare torso, which had a number of bandages wound around it to prevent him from bleeding out too much, as he waited for his answer.

"I-I… am sorry, B-boss." He let out a stuttering response as he trailed his eyes off Adam's face. No matter how much he tried, he couldn't look into his eyes. 

He was more than ashamed of his actions when he found out about how he went missing from the site. He knew that he had a hand in the matter, maybe both of his hands. If it wasn't for him giving that flash drive to Taylor, the whole fiasco wouldn't have happened in the first place.

"Sorry?" Adam stared back at him and scoffed after hearing his apology. "I gave you a chance to say something in your defense, and all you managed to mutter was an apology. Looks like you really are guilty." Adam spoke through his clenched teeth. The more he listened to the man, the harder it was getting for him to control the building rage within him.

"I-I know that I am the one responsible for what happened to the site, and you. Besides apologizing, there is nothing I can do or say at the moment." He let out a whimpering response. His eyes were casted down on his own legs which were tied together as he was still too scared to look into the eyes of the devil before him. 

Adam let out a mocking chuckle after hearing the man's words. What could an apology do to change what had already happened? The damages done to the business empire which his father had brought to new heights, couldn't be undone with a simple apology. Moreover, the woman who was the love of his life, was left to deal with those damages.

"But I swear that I didn't have any other choice. He was blackmailing me using my family. If I knew that he would use that flash drive to bring harm to you, I might have given you a heads up." Before Adam could speak up, the man continued.

"What flash drive?" Adam questioned him. All he knew was that the man before him was considered to be a suspect as the time he resigned was too convenient with how things went on then. If it wasn't for Carston's help, he might have never been able to put the label of culprit on the man before him. But he didn't know what flash drive the man was referring to.

"He wanted to have the blueprints of the project site. As you know, only a few of the higher ups had access to those files besides you. I swear I had no idea what he was going to do with them." He sniffled and answered him. He wasn't lying though. He might have seeked Adam's help if he had any idea about his sinister plans. He thought he just wanted to have more control over the project. 

"And what else did you expect he will do with them? Convert them into a portrait and hang it on a wall in his living room?" Adam snarled. He was starting to understand how he managed to bring down the entire site that easily. Taylor knew the exact points where to plant those explosives to bring it down.

"I-I… said… I am sorry. Please let me go back to my wife and children." He begged in response, apologizing to Adam once again.

"I could care any less about your family at the moment. Neither did you seem to when you were running around the world just to stay away from my clutches! You left them to fend for themselves after resigning from the job. No, wait! You did leave them a hell lot of money so that they can spend their lives with ease for a couple of months. You planned to return back to them after the smoke had cleared off, but when you found out what actually happened, you changed your mind. You decided to lay off the grid so that you wouldn't be implicated in the mess." Adam spat back at him. 

"It's already too late for an apology. Moreover, I need to set an example for those people who are thinking about crossing me even in the slightest bit." He added, gritting his teeth together. "I give you my word that your family will be taken care of as your eldest son will be given a job at one of the subsidiaries under Levinson's Corp. But you will end the very same way those spies did." 

Giving the man one last look, he walked away. He was about to step out of the room when the man's cry made its way into her ears.

"End how?"

"Dead." With a sinister smile gracing his lips, Adam answered him without looking back at him. 

He walked out of the cold and bleak room with Blake in tow. Neither of the two men paid any attention to the muffled cries and whimpers which followed Adam's words. 

"You sure with your decision?" Blake asked him for confirmation. He didn't want the man to regret it later for he knew how it felt and tasted. 

"I am more than sure." Adam gave him a brief reply as he continued to walk down the same hallway he had walked in earlier. 

It wasn't an easy decision to make for him, but he knew he had to do it. He couldn't go soft on people who had brought harm to him or his family. He needed to set up an example for the rest of the business world that this was what would befall on them too if any one of them decided to go against him. He needed to put on a show for people like Taylor, who was the one holding more power, whether it was the business world of Germany, or the underworld of Europe. 

For his woman as his children, he was ready to be the devil people labelled him as.
