Ludek entered his house and slamd the door.
"Ludek?"
Ludek and Elwyn walked to the living room.
When they entered Mircea imdiately asked:
"Have you spoken to Atlas?"
Ludek said:
"I haven’t, I thought he would at least call back after the press conference."
Mircea said:
"He texted and said that he’ll be ho in five minutes."
Ludek narrowed his eyes, that bastard didn’t answer him but he texted Mircea.
"He finished his new project right?"
"I talked to him yesterday and he said that what’s left can be done by any technician."
Mircea let out a relieved breath, he was worried he would be far from done and it would be impossible to finish the project. After what happened they’ll need sothing big to gain their client’s trust again.
He asked:
"Have you seen the stock market?"
Ludek took a seat.
"I have. Soone has been spreading the news that they’ll get hacked no matter what ga they play and 80% of the players don’t dare to."
Elwyn frowned, he didn’t think it would go that far. He just thought that people would delay playing Extinct until they told everyone they fixed it. But so people still don’t dare to play the other gas even after the press conference.
Mircea said furiously:
"We need to toss Atlas out of the house! How could he be so selfish and destroy our reputation like that? We kept him ho even after we found out he wasn’t our son and this is how he thanked us? By screwing us over?"
Ludek said:
"Once we comrcialize the VR headset and ga through Cian Cube everyone will run to get it."
Elwyn asked:
"Didn’t you say Cian Cube took our gas out of the portal?"
"They have but as soon as they see the headset and controllers they’ll imdiately want to be in business again trust I know Damian."
Mircea looked at Elwyn.
"You need to speak to Jacob and try to convince him to put the gas back in Cian Cube. I’ve seen how much he loves you he would do anything for you."
"I will mother."
Mircea smiled and he smiled back but Elwyn’s heartbeat was out of control. He didn’t imagine that things would get this out of control.
He didn’t think the company would take such a dive and that Damian would end the deal between the two companies.
There’s a clause in the contract that says that if sothing that might tarnish Cian Cube’s reputation happens to Nye Gas they’ll end their partnership.
Since he and Jacob’s marriage agreent pertained to the companies working together it makes him nervous. He wasn’t before he started to call Jacob and he never answered. Elwyn bit his lip in worry.
Atlas was looking at the video of Elwyn and Ludek’s press conference with a smile with Jacob and Damian at his side. When the video ended he put his phone down and chuckled.
Jacob asked:
"Are you okay?"
"I’m fine I knew Elwyn was going to bla and his parents would believe him."
Atlas said ruthlessly:
"He thought that he would just make the company lose a little money but I’ll help him destroy Nye Gas until the only thing left is ashes. I slaved off for this company and this is how they repay by destroying my reputation and telling the whole world I’m nothing more than an insecure and jealous orphan. They’re going to learn their lesson the hard way."
He’s the one who shared everywhere that every ga played made by Nye Gas will hack your computer and cellphone. He told Damian to take the ga off Cian Cube in the morning so he wouldn’t be impacted.
Now that he is done with his new project he can finally be done with them for good. He’ll talk to them right now then he’ll destroy what will be left of Nye Gas.
Jacob and Damian frown, even if Atlas is acting like he isn’t hurt they feel like he is. Atlas looked at the house when they arrived. He said:
"I’ll be back in two minutes."
Damian asked:
"Are you sure you don’t want us to co in?"
Jacob insisted:
"We really don’t mind."
Atlas smiled at them and said:
"It’s fine I promise. I’ll just take a few clothes for the next few days then I’ll buy everything new they can throw the rest."
They nodded and looked at Atlas walking to the door. Once he was in Jacob looked at his father.
"What’s wrong?"
Jacob said:
"I didn’t think he would dare to go that far. Even if Nye Gas existed before Atlas he made it what it is today. Honestly, I’ve been doubting Elwyn since he asked for the ring."
Damian put a hand on his shoulder when he looked down.
"I don’t believe you’re having doubt, you already made a decision you just don’t want to admit it to yourself. You’ve always been decisive it’s been the sa since you were a kid."
Jacob sighed, he did that’s why he didn’t want to speak to him all day. He’ll text him tomorrow and et so they can speak. Damian said:
"It’s gonna be okay. Elwyn isn’t the person for you I’ve always known that."
Jacob asked:
"Why did you think that?"
"Because you like to challenge yourself and work hard while he wants everything to be handed to him. Furthermore, he doesn’t share one of your biggest passion."
Jacob nodded, that’s true he always disliked that about Elwyn but since he said he would learn and be better he was patient.
He decided to destroy Nye Gas’ reputation just so he wouldn’t have to compete with Atlas and work hard so, of course, he’s never going to change.
Atlas walked to the living room and looked at his so-called family. Ludek imdiately stood up from the couch and yelled:
"Atlas how could you do this to the company?"
Atlas asked confused:
"What are you talking about?"
Mircea stood up.
"Don’t pretend you haven’t seen what’s being said about Nye Gas everywhere. You knew that we had influencers demoed the ga before it was released so you put a virus on it to destroy the company’s reputation."
Elwyn who had stood up after his mother yelled:
"Now people don’t even dare to play all the other gas too and Damian removed all the Nye Gas from Cian Cube."
Atlas said:
"I understand all of that what I don’t understand is how this is related to ."
Ludek howled:
"You’re the one who put the virus in the ga!"
Atlas looked at him hurt then Mircea.
"Do you think I would do that after I worked so hard on the ga? You know full well how much I love to create video gas and how I give everything I have to make it perfect yet you think I would betray that to destroy Nye Gas?"
When Atlas’s eyes moistened and a few tears ran down his face Mircea and Ludek were stunned, they’d never seen him cry except when he was a baby.
Seeing the pain in his eyes Mircea started to doubt and looked at Ludek. He looked back at him not sure either.
Seeing them shift Elwyn said:
"You’re just jealous because you’re not the heir anymore so you wanted to make sure that if you can’t be no one would be. This kind of virus could’ve only been done by soone who has advanced knowledge and you’re the only one at the company who can."
Atlas looked at Ludek and Mircea pleadingly and said:
"I didn’t do this I promise. Please believe ."
Mircea looked at him in silence, it seed like he had already made up his mind despite his doubt before. Ludek asked:
"Where is your latest project?"
Atlas asked:
"Is that all you care about?"
Ludek said with cold eyes:
"It is where is it?"
Atlas swallowed with difficulty and bit his lip as more tears ran down his face. Elwyn felt incredibly happy.
He said:
"The only reason father and mother kept you is that they wanted you to finish your latest project and now that it’s over you can leave. How can you not see how much we hate you? You’re not part of this family and you’ve never been."
Atlas asked Mircea:
"Is that all you wanted my latest project?"
Mircea said with a mocking smile:
"It is you’re not my son so why should I care about you?"
He was just thrown when he saw Atlas crying, he’s not used to it but now the surprise is gone and he can see what an ingrate he is.
He said:
"You’re nothing more than an ingrate. I can’t believe I raised you as my son all those years."
Elwyn smiled when he saw how heartbroken Atlas looked. Ludek asked:
"Where is the project?"
"In the safe in my office. The password is 1807."
Ludek wrote down the password to make sure he wouldn’t forget then looked up and said:
"We don’t want to see you ever again. Get the hell out."
Atlas swallowed with difficulty, he murmured before turning around:
"I’ll take my stuff and leave."
Elwyn imdiately grabbed his wrist.
"Father don’t let him take his things you’re the one who paid for it."
Atlas pulled back his wrist and said:
"I paid for it with my salary I’m not leaving it here."
Before he could take more than two steps they all started to sll sothing and looked at Atlas stunned. Mircea asked incredulously:
"Have you bonded with soone?"
Atlas t his eyes.
"With Damian, that’s what I originally ca here to tell you."
Atlas turned around and left for his room. Ludek, Mircea, and Elwyn were in shock. Elwyn felt furious when his shock faded, he managed to seduce Damian his future father-in-law.
That ans he’ll have sowhere to go. Elwyn cursed inwardly, he needs to break them up. His eyes lit up as he thought of Jacob. He hates his father he’s sure he’ll help him.
But first, he’ll tell him to get the erald ring from his father before he refuses. He just needs to see him as soon as he does Jacob will do everything to please him again. Elwyn smiled maliciously.
