Roopak.
"Hello?" I attended the call groggily. I was still half asleep.
"Did you offend Salena Adams?" Dad's angry voice made me open my eyes.
"What?" I asked through the phone.
"Did you offend Salena Adams?" he shrieked this time. "You ungrateful, good for nothing fool, Do you know what you have done? I am going to lose everything because of you!"
I was dumbfounded. I had no idea what was going on.
"Dad, I was just helping the company, Salena Adams agreed to help us out of our difficult situation-"
"You moron! You just ruined everything! The company's financial situation is leaked out to the public! All the investors are calling me to withdraw their money. GS Group is suing us for fraud and on top of that, Salena Adams just sent me a legal notice asking compensation for plagiarising her technology!"
I was fully awake now.
What the heck is going on!?
"Let me contact-"
"You listen to me well, boy," Dad said in a final tone. "I am moving out of India before I get arrested. You should take your mom and hide in our country house until I find a way to get you out of India. I forbid you to come out publicly or do anything that might put the family's life at risk."
With that, he disconnected the call. I sat there, feeling numb.
Adams technology and Golden security group are rivals! Why are they attacking us together!?
The door opened and my right-hand man rushed inside.
"Sir there is breaking news going on, they targeted us intentionally-"
"Get me the contract I signed with Salena Adams!" I looked at him. I grabbed my phone as soon as he was out.
My phone started to ring even before I dialled her.
"Salena Adams," I gritted my teeth and attended the call. "Why?"
"Did you really think you can get away with what you did?" She asked back. "How dare you!"
It was obvious from her tone what she was talking about.
Michael gave me away!
"I am innocent! Michael is slandering me!"
"Really?" She sounded eerily calm. "Do you think you can deceive me?"
"So you choose to believe that homeless beggar over me!?"
"Should I believe a criminal like you over a guy with a clean record? I have Rijo's statement on what you did and all other details on your drug cases; you are never going to get away."
Michael! Bloody bastard! I am going to get you for this!
I knew I couldn't hide from Salena for long, but I was waiting for my company to be stable first.
"Salena Adams, I still have the contract you signed with me, you will lose a couple of millions if I sue you!"
"Then sue me," she said simply. "I would like to see who would win this lawsuit, that is if you could afford to go against me at all," her voice dripped off arrogance and I fisted my palm.
"I won't let go of this matter!"
"Don't get so worked up, Roopak, I am just starting with you," Salena's voice reached me again. "I guess your father must be trying to flee the country, I promise you that he wouldn't get away. I will have him arrested within 24 hours," she said. "And if you think you can evade the investigation and go into hiding, I will stop you. I will drag you to the jail with the evidence I have, I will make sure that all your properties are sealed and that your cash flow is cut off." She continued, "I am going to finish you here."
