Unraveling Secrets Of The Devil

Chapter - Eighteen

Devils POV

POWER. Humans crave for it. But the person who has the skill to gain and manage it smartly only deserves it, just like me. Many people assume that it’s a piece of cake to maintain once you gain power, but it’s totally wrong. The real game begins that time. That’s when one will face many obstacles and find reasons to quit. What matters is how smartly the person can manage all of this with ease. Every time I walk towards the working area I remember my initial days here, the struggles which I had to go through and how determined I had to be. There were times when I lost hope and thought this plan was absurd, but then I never gave up.

As I reached the end of the corridor, the guard opened the door on the right side for me. I entered the working site grabbing everyone’s attention working there. Most of the savants and my workers keeping an eye on them stood up and bowed down with respect and fear. I loved this feeling of being superior, being the boss. I signalled them to continue working and started roaming around. Everyone resumed their work. There were five departments, three of which were here and other two were in separate cabins. Savants were divided into departments based on their expertise so that I could use maximum of their talent.

I stood in front of the savant who had recently joined our fam. “How’s your new life here Ms. Riccs? I hope they are taking good care of you” She clenched her fist in frustration without lifting her head. I lifted her chin up by exposing the bruises on her face. “You shouldn’t be this stubborn when you are working under me sweetheart, or else even you won’t be able to recognise your own face. I have specifically told them not to hurt your limbs because that might slow down your work. So stop being a hothead and accept this reality, because this is your fate” I smirked by seeing her frustration and helplessness.

“For how long do you think you can do all these illegal activities? You’ll be caught one or the other day and then you’ll regret each and everything you are doing right now” she yelled by banging the table with her fist. I stopped Nolan before he could slap her for being such a brat. “Only dumb people get caught by making silly moves. I’m always a step ahead by weighing all the consequences in all possible ways. You’ll be helpless, watching me succeed everyday and reach a point where I’ll be the most powerful, where no one can ever go against me. Within few more days, you’ll see me reaching that position. Mark my words”

She didn’t reply anything, either she was speechless or controlling herself from giving a savage reply because of fear. Whatever might be the reason, her silence was good for her, because if her reply would have triggered me then this time it would be me who would slap her for not minding her tongue. “Nolan, as her punishment for talking back with that annoying attitude of hers, cancel her lunch and dinner for today and make her work for extra hours today. Let her starve till tomorrow morning while regretting for her mistakes and learn how to control her tongue from next time”

I ignored her fuming stare and walked out of the working area entering the corridor, with Nolan following me. “How’s the progress of the project? Deadline is only a week away” I asked without making an eye contact with him. “It’ll be done before the deadline Boss, but I felt like it would have been better if there was an extra member in the second department. Then work will be faster and efficient” he suggested. “Ok then, let’s welcome a new member tomorrow and surprise Dexter with this sudden plan” I smirked thinking about Dexter’s reaction after the kidnap.

We entered my cabin and I started checking the candidates info in the file. After a while I found the perfect one, suitable for second department and showed it to Nolan.

Occupation – A regular employee at ABC company

Skill – Best at hacking, software manipulation

“He is our next target. This file has information about his daily routine. Stalk him today and verify his moves. Most probably it’ll be the same on a usual Wednesday, with few minor changes. Keep updating me if there’s anything different. By evening a solid plan for tomorrow’s kidnap will be ready” I handed over the file to him and he left my cabin with a nod.
