Never Leaving U ( Completed )

Chapter 46

Recap: Vikram kills Sam and Priyanka. Akash announce to take over Sana group of Business

****************

The media was ablaze with breaking headlines,  Akash to take over Sana Groups. Every news channel flashed his name, every social media platform was buzzing with debates, speculations, and heated opinions. The public was in shock — how could someone outside the family claim the empire while Sahana, the rightful heir, was still present?

More than the takeover itself, the biggest topic of discussion was Vikram's silence. The man known for his strategic brilliance had given no public response, and that silence screamed louder than any denial. The night was heavy with tension — long and uncertain for everyone involved.

At the AV Mansion, Akash gathered the board of directors around the grand conference table. With a smug smile, he addressed them confidently.

"I hope you all got the information of me taking over Sana Groups," he said.

One of the directors raised a brow. "Sir, in what way do you think you can do this?"

"I have legal papers signed by the CEO nominating me as the legal CEO of the groups."

The room fell into murmurs until another director spoke up. "Mr. Krishnan wouldn't do that. How could we trust you?"

"I have the papers with me," Akash replied sharply. "I want you all to support me in the business. Every one of you will be benefitted from this."

"But Sahana is the legal heir," someone pointed out firmly.

"I know," Akash nodded. "But she can take over the business only if Mr. Krishnan is dead. Now the case is different. He has given the powers to me to run the business."

A director frowned. "So why did you call us now?"

"Good question," Akash smiled, leaning forward. "I want every one of you to stand by me tomorrow because Vikram will definitely make a move against this."

There was silence, until one director muttered, "Maybe you don't know him. If he is silent, then he is sure to hit louder. He has his eyes everywhere. We cannot stand in front of him."

"Those who are scared can leave," Akash sneered. "But remember, you will be thrown out after I take the business."

"Where is our CEO?" another director asked, now visibly concerned.

"He is on a vacation," Akash lied smoothly. "And you need not worry on it."

"If you have a legal paper to take the business, then we will support," a director finally said, breaking the tension.

"That's good. You may all leave now," Akash dismissed them confidently.

The directors slowly exited the AV Mansion, still unsure about the future.

Once alone, Akash's father approached him, his face etched with concern. "Akash, I'm warning you. Stop all this. It's for your own good."

Akash turned sharply. "Dad, better stay out of my business."

"You are my only son, Akash," his father pleaded. "I don't want to lose you because of your stupidity. We have a business of our own, and we can do it. Why do you want to do this?"

"Dad, Vikram has to pay me for taking her away from me," Akash snapped.

"Don't speak nonsense," his father said sternly. "She is his wife now. Why don't you move on from her?"

"I cannot!" Akash shouted, his voice cracking with obsession. "It was me who saw her first. I loved not only her but also her business. It would have been me, obviously, who could run her business if I got her married. But now everything is ruined. I lost her, but I have a chance of getting the business. So why do I leave it?"
