The remaining shareholders had been notified of what the board members had done a week prior to his actions. Samuel had urged them to start looking for new representatives and thankfully they had done so but he would have no disloyalty on the board.
That was why all the candidates were either from his other companies or his pack. Something the shareholders did not need to know.
He got the names of who each shareholder had given the job by six P.M that day before that the media had gone wild with the arrests and list of accusations. They were having a field day. At this rate, with the several investigations going on, it would be an open and shut case.
He was in his new Penthouse suite, a luxuriously sleek space that went for more than two hundred million dollars for a little over a month, going through the employee records of the company.
He growled, he should have known by the stench of the building. From what he was looking at, statistically, the entire employee workforce at Deleze Inc was a Vampire majority, with magic users in a second. Humans were second to last and shifters were practically a dead nil.
It had been four years since his great uncle had looked at these, no doubt Steve had something to do with hiding it. The whole place was practically run by bloodsuckers. And promotions probably came with partial immunity to breaking the particular law they hated.
Vampires and shifters, werewolves especially, were not like cats and dogs. It is just they found each other annoying. That did not mean that they did not get along sometimes.
Right now he wanted to tear them apart but he had bigger things to think about.
He took us phone and called Xavier, he needed the pack’s progress report.
“Yes Alpha.” Xavier answered. Although the words were uttered with respect his lcould not keep the anger out of his tone.
“What’s the problem Xavier?” Samuel asked already sensing that what his anger was about was nothing small.
Xavier was easy going, neutral and not quick to anger. There were few things that got him angry and even when they did you could barely hear it in his voice.
Xavier tried to mask the anger in his voice, but the most he managed was to bring it down a few notches.
“That bitch Cynthia walked in here and practically demanded that your mother and siblings handover the jewels and money that your great uncle gave them as part of their inheritance
When your parents refused she went nuts, their house is trashed, it’s basically a pile of rubble now.”
Samuel had not moved from his previous position, he was holding his phone with enough force to break it. His voice came out as a dangerously calm tone, even a three year old knew that you had to be a fool not to notice the dangerously destructive aura that seemed to flood the entire suite.
“Where is she now? How are they?”
“They are fine Alpha, we had them moved to one of the houses near the lake. We put Cynthia in the cell under the church.” Xavier answered.
“Any casualties?”
It was no secret that demons were indiscriminate killers least of all a demon with eyes on money and jewellery.
“No Alpha just a few injuries. What should we do with her?”
Samuel did not waste a moment to give his answer. “Kill her and burn the body. Make sure there isn’t a trace of her left to identify.”
“Yes Alpha. I’ll send the progress report in a few minutes.” Xavier replied.
Samuel just gave a sound of approval before ending the call and tossing it on the cushion beside him.
Klaus and Dylan cared about no one else but themselves, only when it benefitted them would they care about anyone else. That also applied to their mother.
They would not care if she got killed for her actions. If it anyway harmed their agendas they would tear her apart themselves.
The greedy bitch brought this on her head. The devil would welcome her with pitchfork in hand back to hell.
Along with being a cold hearted bastard he was also a ruthless one especially when it came to managing his pack.
It took a discipline, strength and control to manage a pack. It took a greater amount of it to manage a pack the size of Astoke.
It took fast yet carefully thought out decision-making.
It took mental focus and strategy, it took ruthlessness yet compassion. A shoulder that could bear the responsibility. Not everything was about power.
To make sure things ran smoothly the entire pack needed trust and loyalty. Amongst themselves and in their leaders namely their Alpha, beta, gamma and delta.
It was a full time job that had little time for breaks or a vacation. The last time he had had one was three years and nearly six months ago.
Memories of then started playing in his head but he pushed them aside. Those times were gone and his attention was needed in the present, for the future and not in the past.
He went back to looking over the company data. He needed to find a new CEO after he was done cleaning through Deleze Inc.
His phone started ringing, he picked it up and looked at the ID. Inspector Jane. He picked the call.
“Yes Inspector.”
“Evening Mr Princeton. I’m calling because of the meeting with the Mayor. I believe you were informed?”
From what he could hear, she was in her car probably driving from somewhere back to the station which meant she had forgotten to put on the enhanced blocker.
Something that human governments got invented to stop those of them with enhanced hearing from listening in on anything that wasn’t the conversation at hand.
“Yes I was. Friday wasn’t it.” He answered still typing away at his PC.
“Your snipper is going to go for the hit there.” She revealed.
“Oh really? So he finally cracked?”
“No but we got hold of the information. Some my officers will be going undercover in your recently acquired company tomorrow for your safety and to fish out some more law breakers.
One of them will brief you on Friday’s preparations.” She said.
“Ok then. I’m looking forward to it. You should get your carburator checked. Good night inspector. Drive safely.”
“Shit. Can’t believe I forgot to put it on. Your hearing really is good as they say. Goodnight Mr Princeton.”
With that he disconnected the call. Good timing too because what he was doing right now needed his undivided attention.
He had to work on strategizing the company’s next steps and creating a new way for the employees to trust him and each other. With everything that just happened he was sure whatever little there was was in shambles.
A company where its employees could not trust themselves let alone their boss was a recipe for failure.
