Caught Between My Mate And A Demon

A week later, Joel was in his office, sorting some files on his desk when his assistant Carey rushed up to him with eyes so lit they could ignite a candle.

Joel knew that look. A good deal is definitely in for the company. One of the rare occasions Carey lost her composure was when she had her hands on proposals that could make them millions of dollars.

“Sir, you need to see this!” She exclaimed, placing her laptop in front of Joel to take a look at the pdf documents she received from Anna.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

After Anna had gotten in touch with Carey upon Joel’s insinuation, she had just asked Carey to introduce Joel’s company to her. What they do, what they planned to do, and how far their visions for the company go.

Carey had compiled files like she would when fighting to impress a client who wanted to know about their brand before signing a deal with them.

Anna had just given Carey a reason why she would be dealing with their company, not revealing the deal immediately.

The present day happened to be when Anna finally got back to Carey.

Carey just realized they had hit a jackpot and couldn’t contain her excitement.

Joel’s eyes scrolled through the content in the file in front of him with a look of astonishment.

“Wow!” Joel couldn’t help but exclaim.

Carey rubbed her palm together in excitement before looking at Joel. “Sir, this is a wonderful opportunity. With this project, our brand will reach billions of people.” She said,

“Indeed.” Joel affirmed.

Anna is the only heir to one of America’s top production studios. Her family also own one of the leading movie agencies in Hollywood with lots of popular A-lister actors and actresses under them.

She was born into a family that had everything but was raised in a strict manner to succeed in everything her parents owned.

Now that she had completed her study and was very capable of entering the business world, she had been granted the chance to prove herself.

Many of the leading figures in the company obviously look down on her. To them, she’s just a woman who doesn’t have what it takes to be on the same table as them.

Anna would have her debut with a franchise movie that would feature over 8 of their A listers as it is a superhero action movie series.

If the movie becomes successful, she will earn her seat as the official heir to her family’s business.

The script of the movie was attached to the file, and Joel read in fascination.

The script is titled “They Are Criminals.”

In a world where some people had dormant supernatural powers within them, after a strange phenomenon in the human realm from 15 years ago, a group of scientists researched ways to trigger those dormant abilities of people that carried the odd energy within their body.

Some people trigger their ability naturally, which was a rare case, but they were soon found missing, which led to those who managed to trigger their special abilities to keep it a secret.

According to scientists, the phenomenon is bound to occur again in the future, and when it does, it will bring horror upon the world. Those carrying the energy within them and hadn’t awakened supernatural power will mutate into something horrific and lose their mind.

Using this as an excuse, they use a technology that could pinpoint dormant abilities inside the human body, and those humans would suddenly go missing.

They were experimented on until they lost their lives or actually awakened the ability, but they still got killed due to the never-ending experiments.

The scientists still use them to understand why they survived and what more their body could do.

They were as cruel as the horror they foretold.

A CEO of a corporation suddenly got notified of the sudden disappearance of his twin brother. The CEO is the protagonist who saves the city with his hidden power during the time of need under a disguise but lives a normal life every morning of his life.

He had awakened the power to shape-shift his body into weapons and even morph his body into a different person entirely.

He was a sought-after man by the government for their political interest and a potential lab rat for the scientists.

Apparently, his twin had been abducted like most people, but he wasn’t planning to lose his brother. Hence, he decided to put an end to the cruelty of the researchers who are nothing but criminals.

But how easily could he achieve such a feat when most of the dangerous superhumans who survived every experiment now worked for them.

……

Joel read the script, a happy smile plastered across his face.

His company would be the one owned by the protagonist of the movie. A very loved actor all over the world.

This, of course, means that his company would be getting a free advertisement promotion all over the world. People will get curious about the company in the movie.

It would be researched and depending on how good the movie does at the box-office, his company could become one of the leading top brands in the country and sought after all over the country the movie had gained traction.

This opportunity was supposed to be fought for, but he got it for free.

“She also offered us 1 per cent share of the revenue generated from the movie.” Carey said, as if reading where his thought had landed.

Joel was stunned.

“Heck! I’d pay for this opportunity myself if required.” Joel commented as his eyes scrolled through the names of the other popular actors and actresses.

“I know, right?” Carey chimed in.

“Did she say anything else?” Joel asked.

“Yes sir. She said her whole effort from childhood till present is at stake, hence why he chose your company because she trusted your judgment and how you wouldn’t stab her at the back, but just to be safe, you must avoid trouble that could impact your company wrongly after signing the contract and also till the end of the movie production.” Carey explained.

Realizing that Anna had every reason to demand him to meet up with her, he groaned softly at how rude he had responded to her, although he called it being careful.

“Boss, she will be back in a week. I think this is a deal you should handle in person. Should I book an appointment with her?” She asked.

Joel shook his head. “I will pick her up at the airport.” He said.
