The Astonishing Dax Edmund

Dax Edmund, a simple man with black hair and blue eyes, built from manual work was heading to his wife's apartment after a gruesome day at work.He wanted to surprise her with the gift he bought her from the jewelry store. His chest lifted with pride, with every dollar he scraped to afford the jewelry piece as a token of his love.He approached her apartment and knocked. He was met with a beautiful lady with red hair and her body was emblazoned with a satiny white robe. He took her in but she was not impressed.He heard a male voice in the background until he came face to face with Kevin Korbin who smiled deviously."Who the hell is this?""That's my boyfriend, Kevin Korbin.""Are you serious?" He lurched forward, his blood pumping with adrenaline. "But I'm your husband, how could you invite such a man into your apartment?"Allora pushed him."I would ask the same thing about you. Allora deserves better." Korbin said to him. "There's only one man in her life and that man is me."Dax cl

He lowered his head on the desk and he was met by Jennifer Bezos, his assistant."Aww, cheer up, Boss."Dax gazed at the divorce papers, his eyes scraped every word. He recalled when Allora's father Martin Hills make him sign a prenup to prove his love for her. He cringed and signed his name on the divorce paper.He never wanted to see her again."I don't want to see this woman around unless it's on the grounds of divorce."He spoke.She nodded taking the file out of his office.He was not happy with the news that they were understaffed. He could not stop thinking about the loss.He went to the gym to engage himself in some cardio exercises staring at the mirror. The gym was empty, Bryson had gone to take care of some security work.He worked till he couldn't bring himself to do anything and sat back downing a bottle of water.Dax went towards the balcony to watch the labourers down there weeding and clearing up the garden with patterns like an ancient Aztec pattern and a fountain at t

Dax tried hard to meet up, he had inventory management. He was aware of the competition, he wanted to make sure that they were the best choice.He offered the team some incentive to find some weaknesses on the part of the other companies.The permanent workers were making progress being installed.He checked his watch. He had the technical team work on the search engines and the newer project, a user friendly app to keep up with their demands.He had a gala event to attend and He upped the prices and offered incentives like discounts on home maintenance services or free upgrades to premium features. "Put that on the ad."He brushed his temple and he took down a suit."Sir.""Bryson, I'm so surprised to hear from you.""Are you ready for the event."He wanted to use the opportunity to network with some business owners and potential partners. By 8 pm. He was on his way to the event.He emerged from the car and he went towards the building decorated with lights.He walked in and declined

"What's happened?""There's a fire on the fourth elevation."Dax gasped, a vision of a blazing fire flashed before his eyes, his knees almost buckled thinking about what he was going to see once he got there. But he had a firm grip on the seat.Jennifer gasped. "Oh dear.""We called the fire department and they're on their way."He sat back trying to keep his breathing steady. "Is everyone else okay?""Yeah but, our inventory is gone." The manager said."Forget the inventory dammit."He slammed his fists on the table, forcing them to answer the call to attention.He was thinking about going to see the levity of the damage."The show must go on. We have guests waiting and we cannot cancel right now."He shuddered just thinking about attending that event while there was an emergency below them. He was not prepared for the calamity but he had responsibilities. He felt a strong need to see the damage that he had caused. There was no easy answer.He went to the commissioning event, by car j

The team looked at each other, then one by one they nodded their heads. "We're in," they said in unison.Dax looked at the data on his computer screen, his heart pounding in his chest. It was clear that the large scale business had been a massive failure. The new strategy had reduced the sales by a significant margin.He lost his breath when he held both sides of the computer screen, on the verge of panic. He couldn't believe he was back to square one. "Impossible."His heart raced faster. He felt sickly after that investment. He was at a corner, he cried hard punching at the wall. He bashed his palms against it until he couldn't seem to find the strength to punch anymore. He took deep shaky breaths.His heart skipped a beat when he saw the red arrow. He lost money to the marketing strategy. His dream and vision went down the drain.His hair fell over and stuck to his damp face. He plonked down hard on his chair, ruminating if the marketing board had not tried hard enough. He wondered
