Chapter 7 Seven

Athaliah had calculated a lot of the chances of running into anyone. The chances of running into Kate, her family, or Callum. The chances were the highest for Kate, mild for her family members, and very low for Callum, by her calculations, there was no way she could run into Callum but there he was standing in front of her with a frown.

It was the fact that his name had naturally slipped out of her mouth that made Athaliah jump back in fright. He looked the same as he did two years before but twice as dashing, twice as attractive, the muscles around his arm flexed alongside his suit as he further twisted Collins hands.

"Who are you?" Collins yelled in agony, "Do you know who I am?" he screeched again, "I'm going to sue you for assault! I'm going to make sure you rot in jail! Let me go no" Collins threatened and in one movement, Callum let go of his hand and Collins fell to the floor.

"Bastard!" he screeched as he pushed himself off the floor trying to flex his shoulders back to normal. He turned fuming to whoever had twisted his arm but the expression on his face froze and the expression reverted to one of fear mixed with surprise.

"CEO Callum" he called, bowing his head, "I didn't know it was you, what... what... what brings you here" he stammered, raising his head a little bit.

"I thought you wanted to sue? Go ahead and sue" Callum replied calmly and Collins burst into laughter," Did I say that? It was just in the heat of the moment, I didn't mean it" he infirmed and Calum nodded his head.

"So that means I can sue" he commented.

"Huh?" Collins asked in a daze.

"If you aren't suing, that means I can sue you for sexual assault" Callum repeated and Collins raised his head to meet Callum's hard ones. Realization dawned on him and he immediately fell to his knees.

"President Callum, it was a mistake, I was just trying to..." he stammered before turning sharply to Athaliah who had now become a spectator, "She's the one who caused everything,! She was the one who tried to seduce me first!' he yelled pointing fingers at her.

"Seduced you?" Callum asked and Collins nodded his head vigorously, "Yes President Callum, she tried to seduce me" he affirmed and Callum slowly chuckled rubbing his forehead.

"What you are telling me is that my wife tried to seduce you?" He asked again and Collins was almost nodding his head but instead froze. His brain seemed to have picked crucial information in the words Callum had just said.

"Wi..Wi...Wi...Wi...Wife?" he stammered in a daze, "She's your wife?" he asked again.

"Madam" someone broke into Athaliah's thoughts and she turned to find Silas standing behind her with a small smile, "Come this way" he muttered and Athaliah turned to glance at Callum for a moment before nodding and walking away with Athaliah.

Collins immediately grabbed Callum's shoe hitting his head on the shoe repeatedly. He needed no one to tell him that he was in trouble, he had dared to accuse the wife of Callum Sinclair of seducing him, Callum had asked repeatedly and he had confirmed every single time. It didn't matter that he was older than Callum by almost twenty years, what mattered was surviving, what mattered was to make sure that his company, a company that had been passed for over ten generations didn't disappear overnight because Callum Sinclair was more than capable of that.

Word had been going around in their circles, nobody knew why but Callum became more frigid since he took over two years ago, he was more ruthless, less polite and they rarely saw him. All sorts of rumors had flown around but no one knew what was going on. A major broadcasting station had broadcasted a piece of news that Calum had specifically put on lockdown as evening news. and the next morning, they were bankrupt, closed down and no one could even find them on Google, that was how powerful Callum Sinclair was.

Callum slowly bent down to face the man in front of him who was sobbing and couldn't stop apologizing, "You or the company, you have to pick one" he announced quietly and Collins raised his head.

"Your company disappears by evening or you go and report yourself" Callum added and Collins almost heaved a sigh of relief. Reporting himself was no big deal, he could get his people to handle it.

"Reporting yourself means you walk into a police station and inform them that you sexually assaulted someone. Of course this person doesn't want to be known, but because you are ashamed of yourself, you decided to turn yourself in, you pay the fine, you had better fax the details to HQ" Callum revealed and Collins stared at him mouth agape.

"It doesn't matter whether reporters are waiting for you by the time you are done reporting yourself, whatever they ask, you tell them nothing but the truth" he continued while Collins stared at him unable to form a word.

"And yes, I almost forgot. You will still be investing in her company but I wouldn't call it investing really" Callum added, slipping his hands into his pockets, "You will be donating the agreed amount" he paused before shaking his head, "twice the amount to her company. That's your way of apologizing and paying for the damages you have caused her today" he finished meeting Collins's dazed eyes.

"Am I understood?" he asked and Collins nodded his head slowly.

He needed nobody to tell him that Callum had shown him mercy, the usual Callum wouldn't have even given him an option and would have one ahead to teach him a lesson without a word. He nodded his head again "Thank you for showing mercy, President Callum!'

Callum turned to walk out of the room and suddenly paused before turning back to him, "And I absolutely do not want rumors of my wife flying around" he said and Collins shook his head.

"Understood"

Callum walked out of the room without his steps flattering or without another look at the older man who had his head buried in the floor.

Collins released a breath he didn't realize he was doing as soon as Callum left, "That impolite bastard" he breathed, frowning his face quietly.

If that indeed was Callum's wife, why did she live in another town? Why would she even need investments? The Sinclair family alone could support thousands of the projects she needed investment for.

What was going on?
