Devil isn't that far

Boranth Corp. is the biggest and richest of all industries and firms on the planet but very few actually know about this financially big organization whose whole responsibility is to keep society functioning by providing funds to middle corporations and government agencies. I am the director member of the board and my only responsibility is to handle people who work below me, I worked so hard for this my entire life, I studied hard and started working at a very early age. I am Azreal, businessman. I am always in search of power full of my abilities. I handle most of the infrastructure and banking facilities, every bank manager is my employee.

Today is just like any other day as I woke up at 4:00 am, and made myself a hot coffee. The sun hasn't risen yet, but some buildings have lights turned on. My building is the only building in the vicinity with 50 floors that stood so high that in rainy seasons I can see the clouds from my windows. All these small buildings around me are like peasants to me, they stink and stay rotten, if even a single one could have dared and risked to become like me, they could have escaped from the reality, they don't have the guts, they don't want to shed some blood.

I shed not a single drop but rivers, and lakes of blood on my way to the top, I don't care about meaningless lives becoming obstacles in my way even if it is family, Yes, especially if it is family, cause when that happens the world respects you more, the more they respect you the more they fear for their life. I can teach all these peasants how to live under me, I shall conquer this business world, I do to some extent, but I want more.

My assistant messaged me that the Aus Deal is going to be arranged for the day, I got ready as usual driving my way to the office, I was ready for anything thrown by the Aus manager Mr Saki, a white-bearded strong man, anyone talking to him will lower his own voice to give this man the respect he thinks he deserves, but I know exactly how to handle such kind of situations and I don't lower my voice not even if it means a loss for the company.

Mr Saki agreed to provide us with the infrastructure so that the next company building could be built. It is supposed to build in the centre of Cardona city. But he had a condition, the condition was that the amount paid for the deal should be double what is required. Half is the official amount for the deal and the other half is the commission. Saki who had nothing to do with the deal and was just a middleman, wanted so much percentage of the commission is bad for the deal and my company. I knew just then what I have to do so that Mr Saki gets us the deal and we don't have to lose anything. I know the right medicine for this job. I have to take him down today!

The deal was done, I paid Mr Saki 5000M Dollars, of which half was paid by wire while the other half was paid cash, it was clear as day that Saki was robbing us, but we have to get the deal done, and he is the only person who can get this done. Mr Saki and I shared a bottle of rich whiskey, he laughed like a small child, and he told old stories of how we planned to become a businessman. But he doesn't have any idea of what is about to come, what is about to happen to the child-like laugh of his? No one is going to hear from him the next day. You will regret this meeting Saki, you are going to pay for the loss with your useless life. So Saki left with a happy face, and I can't wait to see his red one in the newspapers.

I don't commit murder, I just order them, my assassin X is ordered to kill Mr Saki by a road accident so no one suspects us, it will be just like a tragedy. Oh, poor Saki, you will pay for the loss you cause to the company. X will not only put you down but will fetch all the money back, so you can lose only one thing, your life.

My secretary, Ash, a blonde with blue eyes, walked in, she was explaining to me, how Mr Saki dies in an accident, how the money bag disappeared. and how this all can be bad for the deal. I was very happy with the results, and unknowingly I burst saying he got what he deserves and of course, it was planned. The secretary was shocked her eyes wide open, her face slowly turning pale, she was silent for a minute or more and burst out of the room apologizing for bringing the news.

This was a mistake I can not let something like this small distract me from making a mistake in public, no one should know about this. Even though I didn't say much, it did reveal my intentions and I can be found guilty. Guilty of a murder which I technically did not commit, or did I? who cares. I could call her, tell her what I meant or could let her know that I did but for a reason. That will be foolish, there's no going back. What if while she travels home today by the train and accidentally falls on the tracks just when the train arrives, and her skull gets crushed by the wheels of the train and the blood splatters around the station and everyone screams out loud, yeah that will be a good scene!

I am back home, I usually watch some news before going to bed, and voilà, a woman falls on the track of Nasro Station this evening at 7 pm, was it a suicide? was it an accident? no one knows. Isn't that exactly what I predicted this afternoon, yes I did and in such details. Ha ha, the life of a human being is so fragile even a small decision can make you lose your pathetic life. Life is just a meaningless joke which can end just by the smallest decision possible. Only
god knows how long you live, or only I know how long you can live. I am the angel of death, Azreal! bow before me!
