Revenge And Love Against My Mafia Ex-Husband
Chapter 58

Once again I entered that boardroom where I smelled mould mixed with alcohol and tobacco, although I could smell the scent of the colognes of those old investors, some of whom greeted me and others just looked at me with contempt, starting with the director who, when he saw me, said to me: "I imagine you are very happy with the monumental failure that happened to me yesterday: -I imagine you are very happy with the monumental failure that happened to me yesterday.

The blood rushes to my head and I try to keep my composure by giving a general greeting:

-Good morning, what a pleasure to see you again in person. -And the petulant director doesn't even give me time to respond, he haughtily harasses me.

-I left a detailed report of all the errors and mistakes of your period as president on each desk," the damned man pushed me into a corner, apparently that was the reason for their meeting.

-Wait, I have the right to defend myself, I can't resign, this is the company that my parents founded.

-Relax Mrs. Ximena, you will continue to be a shareholder just like your sister, we will only remove you as president, but the second point on the agenda of the meeting is to analyse the options to sell this m...," the creep mentioned the m-word, I can't believe it, and he plans to sell, I can't stand it and I ask him:

-How is it that they are going to sell it, I won't allow that.

-Mrs. Ximena, you can't stop this from happening if the majority of shareholders vote in favour, you should also join in, it's the best thing to do, because because of these crises, our shares have plummeted.

-Wait, you should consider how much the company has gained from my decisions.

-Yes, but it has lost more, and now those new proposals I presented last week imply a big investment cost with little chance of return.

-They can't fire me, I increased profitability by forty percent compared to my uncle.

-Mrs. Ximena, the truth is that you had a lucky streak and it seems to be over.

-It wasn't luck, it was something very planned.

-Anyway, Mrs. Ximena, the truth is that this meeting was just a formality, we have already made the decision that you will not occupy the position of president, from today I will occupy the presidency of the company, we better continue with the second point, in the other folder that I left you there are some purchase proposals from some foreign companies.

-Wait, I reiterate that we will not sell the company, I am still the president, I have not signed my resignation.

-If you review the best proposal is the one from the Texas company, it is very good, it should be clarified that the longer we delay in making the decision to sell, the more the price of the assets will drop, especially the intangible assets, of course they are already on the ground.

-Please listen to me, my parents built this company, I will not let them take it away from me.

-Then it's already decided, what's left of the company will be sold to the Texans.

-I throw the folders on the floor where the papers are flying, so that they can hear me, and the bastard presses the button that calls the guards. I am overcome with despair and I am blinded by anger, I can hardly breathe, fortunately my hero enters, imposing, magnificent, he has a digital screen next to some documents in his hands and he is accompanied by some gentlemen from the special police force, he doesn't even say hello, he just tells the director: "Stay still!

-Stay still, you can't make any movement, here in these documents I have a confession from White, where he states that you ordered him to commit several crimes, in addition to this video," he activates the screen where the director appears talking to a man saying to him, "Sir, I don't consider that you have ordered him to commit several crimes:

-Sir, I don't think the board will agree to sell you the company, and the other man replies:

-The other man replies: "You can always do it, you just have to name the price, of course the price of your commission and look at it in advance," he hands him a leather briefcase which the director opens, revealing that it is full of bundles of dollars and replies: -Of course yes sir, the truth is that I came up with a plan so that we can get all the shareholders to want to sell, I also got you the information on the security schemes that you had already paid me for, but if you want to give me the money for the soda, I won't be angry.

-Of course ha ha ha ha.

In the video at the end everyone laughs, while the director remains pale and unable to speak, he only allows himself to be lifted up by the agents who tell him:

-Sir, you are under arrest for the crimes of corruption, conspiracy to commit a crime and revealing confidential information.

Once again my hero appears, saving my day, although I still have a crisis that another member of the board reminds me of:

-Mrs Ximena the shares are still down, the rumour that our jewellery is radioactive is affecting us a lot, I am thinking of selling as long as I earn something from it or even if it is just to avoid losing.

-Calm down, calm down, we will surely manage to recover, we must think of something to reverse the situation," I tell them although I can't think of anything, I only have dizziness, this is increased by another shareholder who asks for the floor saying: "Miss, I also have to think of something to reverse the situation:

-Miss, I am also going to sell.

-What a pity to interrupt you, I offer to buy the shares of anyone who wants to sell them," Angelo interfered, buying them from all those who wanted to sell, who left thanking him and asking for forgiveness.

-Apparently I am now the majority shareholder of this company," said Angelo, "I vote for Mrs. Ximena to be the president.

-Yes sir, we agree on that, what happens is that we have to stop this rumour of radioactive jewellery, it's complicated because of the lady who claims that, as well as the models who, despite being hospitalised, have already sued the company," interjected a partner. -I have an idea while we clear up this matter, the press and the whole country is looking for a culprit, we will tell them that it was due to a mistake on my part in the selection of some employees, we can't say the director or White, because they could sue me for slander, that is to say I will be the scapegoat while we discover the truth, it's to give us time. -Everyone likes my idea that came to me in an instant, it was like a bolt of lightning when it strikes the earth and another partner gives another one:

-yes ma'am it's a good idea, we can also privately contact all our clients, we have to negotiate with them and explain to them that we were sabotaged internally, -and another one speaks the most obvious.

-We should interrogate the models, look at security cameras, have that lady's necklace analysed, we don't use radioactive material, that must be a set up, that lady only wants money, that must be false.

-What if the lady contaminated it with radiation, because isotopes don't last long in metals or jewellery, there's something very strange here, it smells of sabotage by that cheating scoundrel of a director, I always didn't like him, he was a pushover," said another, hitting the table with a hammer.

All voted in favour of these proposals in an atmosphere of smiles and applause, raising a glass of wine they said:

-And he got up to make a speech, or so I thought, because he just said:

-I am sorry, I would feel very honoured to belong to this noble board, which fortunately already got rid of its bad parts, it was purged for a bad time, it is as they say in bad weather, you know your partner, the truth is that I have no time left to attend to another company, I have even sold several, in my plans is to take out a lot of time to devote to my family, therefore, I cede all my shares to my wife Ximena.

That decision surprised me, I couldn't stand it, without thinking about the looks or the protocols, I kissed him, while the whole board applauded and one member raised a glass to toast:

-To the happy couple and to the new president of the board, now she has the majority of the shares, she doesn't even need to consult us to make decisions, although I trusted her innovative ideas.

-I will consult you on the most important decisions and I will always be attentive to your ideas and suggestions, each of you have great knowledge and I am sure that you can apply it to the company, for this reason I propose that we work shoulder to shoulder, if necessary I will give you an executive position with its respective salary," I answer them also toasting although Angelo takes the glass from me before I drink it saying:

-The lady is not allowed to drink alcoholic beverages.

One of the partners shouts:

-Congratulations, Mrs. Ximena is pregnant, this is another reason for another toast, in my family we have an omen that if a baby is going to arrive it is because everything is going to be better, you will see, you will realise, this company will rise from the ashes like the Felix bird or phoenix, I don't remember, I would still be happy to be reborn, a toast to the beautiful family that founded the company and to the present one that will save it making it rise to the sky.

Everyone armoured up until the evening, while I just drank juices and milkshakes, devising strategies to save the company.
