031 Determination
Nicklaus Michaelson
Four years have passed, it’s been four years since I was confined to a wheelchair, four years of unending pain and suffering. I couldn’t forgive myself after learning of how Sherly stole from my company and how Ava stopped her, I became completely shattered.
These four years have been so fucking hard for me, I cry myself to sleep every day begging god for forgiveness, days passed months passed, and turned to years yet! Here I am looking like a shadow of myself
Over the years I tried to punish myself by not seeing another doctor to know if I could ever walk again. I took it as a punishment for the pains I caused Ava, but then put company has been suffering so much recently
I tried going to the company every day but it’s not helping, Xander my ex-best friend is now on top while Michaelson Group of company is going bankrupt and on the verge of collapsing, we’re losing our investors and the shareholders are withdrawing their shares, this is not good I’m almost going crazy hating my condition I can’t even walk around and do the things I wish to do
Dad was rushed to the hospital this morning when he heard about our company from an outsider, I mum and I did our best to hide it from him but guess we couldn’t do so well and now my father is in the ICU fighting for his life all because of me.
I fucking hate myself right now, knowing all the pains and troubles I caused my family I just wished I would disappear from this world. I hate myself so much
“Nicolas Michaelson!” Mum’s voice burst into the room, she flung the door open looking so angry
“Mum?”
“What else do you want, your father is in the hospital fighting for his life all because of your selfish mistake, and you’re here confined in the walls of your room doing nothing while your father’s company is on the verge of slipping out of our hands”
“Mum, what are you saying?” I asked looking so tired already, I’m so tired wishing I just die
“You’re here sitting down not knowing the Wires just bought our company”
“Bought?” I stuttered in shock and staggered to stand up but I fell helplessly on the floor, Mum couldn’t hold her tears anymore, she rushed towards me and helped me back on the wheelchair
She cupped my face, I thought she was going to blame and curse me, but then over the years my parents were the only ones that were there for me
“Where is the Nicklaus Michaelson I used to know, what happened to him, where’s my son?” She asked in tears hugging me
“I’m sorry Mother, I’m nothing but a failure
“No my son you’re not a failure, life happens and you’re going to take this as one of the phases you had to face in life, we are going to overcome this okay?”Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“You don’t hate me, Mother?”
“No my son” She cried, tears rolling down her cheeks
“Mum, stop crying….” I whispered slowly cleaning her tears
“You’re my son and no matter can ever hate her own son, you made a mistake everybody does, but the ability to correct yourself and own up to it determines who you are”
“What do I do mother, I’m useless already”
“Shh…don’t say that ever again, you’re going to walk again but first you need to help and believe in yourself only when you do that will you be able to get your father’s company back”
“I’ll do as you said, Mother”
“Good” She smiles
“But mum I thought the Wires wanted to invest in our company, how did we get here”
“I don’t know my son” Mum muttered and stood up, she faced the window
“I don’t think they just wanted to invest, they are rival company and it feels like revenge”
“Revenge?”
“Yes, they did everything skillfully that no one noticed it till it was late, they manipulated John and bought our company owning the highest shares, they saw that we were desperate and they used it to their advantage, this is a comeback we have to gather shareholders but the problem is…. how do we start to convince them to trust in us again after we lost a lot, especially our investors” She turned immediately facing me
“You need to get better Nic, whoever owns the Wire is still anonymous, we all know she’s a woman but nobody has seen her face before, the record has it that she’s a ruthless fierce business billionaire we have to be prepared for the meeting especially you my son, I have a feeling that the meeting is going to be a clash”
“What’s her full name Mum?”
“Who?”
“The owner of Wire Jewelry Import”
“Ohh her full name is….. Ava Wire!”
I felt chills immediately I heard her name, why does it feel strange, Ava Wire, who could she be? And why is she trying to pull my father’s company down, my father has no enemy so what is happening
“I’ve booked your ticket, you’re flying to Columbia tomorrow to get your injury examine, the meeting with the Wires is in two weeks hopefully there will be an improvement before then”
“What of fathers company who’s going to take care of it?”
”I’m here son, besides I so much want to see who this wire lady is…. I’ll try and see if I can figure that out before the meeting”
“Alright mum, thank you so much for everything and for not giving up on me even when I have up on myself. Thank you for being the best mother in the whole world always supporting me, I promise not to disappoint you this time”
“I love you my son, and whenever you feel like giving up, remember your father that’s lying in the hospital fighting to live, he’s been there for you and never left your side, he worked all his life to get Michaelson where it is today, don’t let us down”
“I won’t Mother” She wrapped her arms around me hugging me tightly
I think mourning time is over, whoever this Wire lady is…. it’s time to face her a bring back what belongs to my family
