Mommy...Can you Win Daddy's Love again?

Chapter 191 - Explosion

One week passed by, Adrian got closer to his son. He started spending his free time with Sam along with Katherine.

Maria felt happy to see her son settled down with a cute family which she always dreamed of.

…..

One day Adrian and Katherine were getting ready to work. At the same time, her mobile rang. She looked at the caller's name and was surprised.

" Why is he calling me!! " She thought.

Adrian, who was wearing his blue suit, looked at Katherine as she was not attending the call.

" Love… Why are you thinking so much about attending the call! " he asked.

" It's from David, my old colleague," she replied in a low voice.

He gritted his eyebrows closer and saw the display name on her mobile. After being baffled by her thoughts, she attended the call.

David: " Hi Kathie, how are you? "

Kathie: " Fine. Why do you call me? " with a serious expression on her face.

David: " I want to meet you and what to tell you something important "

Kathie: " I am busy. I can't meet you "

David: " Please...Just meet me for once today at Delite Cafe, 7 pm"

Kathie: " I won't come to meet you. I already cleared up my feelings for you. Don't waste your precious time on me"

David: " I know you are Mrs. Wilson and you already have a son with him "

She was shocked to know about it. But she was confused why he made a call to meet him. When she was in her thoughts, Adrian grabbed her mobile and turned on the speaker of the mobile.

Adrian: " Don't you have a Shame to call my wife for a date? "

David: " I am not calling for a date. But I need to talk with her about something important "

Adrian: " There is nothing to talk about with my wife. If you try to contact her again, I will see your end " ( he yelled and disconnected the call )

" How dare he contact you! Tell me, if he contacts you again " Adrian stated.

" Okay " she nodded her head. " Please calm down…" she said and cupped his face with her palms. Then she raised her toes and pecked his forehead to calm him.

" Let's go .." She entangled her hands with his arms, placing her head on his shoulders.

….

After they reached the company both got busy with their work. Adrian was working on his laptop while designing a new luxurious model car after launching the present manufacturing cars. He was working on the design for a few months. Finally, he completed it. 

Once he designed the 3D design, he asked Katherine to have a look. He walked towards his chair and pulled another chair beside him to sit.

" Baby...what is the need for another chair, when you can sit in my lap," he said and pulled her onto his lap.

" Ad….be professional. We are in the workplace " she tried to stand from his lap but he caged her stomach with his strong

hands by placing them around.

She stopped struggling to get up as she knew about stubbornness. He explained the front sitting arrangement and passenger seat arrangements with passengers' privacy and seat adjustments. The basic amenities like a music player with wireless connections, an LED screen to watch movies, a small flipping table in the passenger seat so that kids can eat in the moving car. 

He played the video to show her how to use all the amenities in the cars. After seeing the video, she was so excited to see the output of the car.

" You did a fantastic job…" she tilted her face and kissed his cheek.

" Thank you, Mrs. Wilson " he whispered, placing his chin on her shoulder blade.

" So...when are you planning to start this one!! " She inquired.

" I want to start designing this car in ten days. I have enough balance to design two cars of this model, " he answered.

" Ad...Can I give a small suggestion! " she asked hesitantly.

" You can ..love. Tell me…" he said.

" I think it's better if you add a feature for the security of the people traveling in the car. I mean to say a software with artificial intelligence which helps the people to be saved by informing the nearest hospital or police control rooms. In emergency conditions like brake failures, cars stuck in the remote, and others" she said.

" It's a wonderful idea but we need so much to invest much to launch such a kind of model" he replied.

" Then why don't you design one car instead of two !! " she advised. 

" It is so risky...Love " he said after thinking for a while.

" Why!! "She asked, looking at him.

" If we invest all our investments to design a new car and we don't get approval for the model we will be doomed. And again I have to start from the first step " he said.

" In business, we won't succeed and get fame unless we take risks, " she said.

" I knew about it. But now it is different. If our plan fails, I cannot give this comfortable life to my family, " he said.

" I loved you even though you have no penny. In the past, I had trusted your talent and my trust in you will be till my last breath ...." She encouraged him.

He smiled and hugged her tightly, then said, " I know about your love " 

Suddenly they heard the sound of an explosion from the manufacturing site. Adrian and Katherine quickly ran out of the cabin. Just in time, Duke ran in the opposite direction to them.

He was panting heavily and said, " Sir, there was a blast in the manufacturing site of the seventh unit. "

" What !! " Adrian shouted in shock.

" I informed the fire extinguisher and the ambulance services…" he said in a scary voice.

When they came out of the administration block, they could see the thick black smoke all over the air with fire. 

Adrian was still in shock and he was not in a position to utter a word seeing the scene in front of his eyes.

" Are any employees injured? " Katherine asked Duke.

" We are expecting thirty employees working in the next unit. Maybe less or more. Till this fire is under control, we can't predict the number of employees inside, " Duke explained.

Within a few minutes, the fire extinguisher came to rescue the employees then the ambulances reached the place.

" Adrian...let's go to the place and help our employees…" she informed as she noticed Adrian's face. He was shocked and terrified.

With the words of Katherine's voice, he came out of the shock and quickly went to the manufacturing unit. The whole place was covered with the small pieces of the spare parts of the car and newly manufactured cars. Meanwhile, a group of civil police came to the scene to investigate.

The injured employees were taken to the hospital in the ambulance. Adrian's heart moved to see his employees in terrible condition. His eyes become wet on hearing the painful cries of his employees. Katherine held his hand on noticing Adrian's facial expression.

It took nearly an hour to control the fire but 

 black smoke thickly filled the air. Once they entered, they noticed bloodstains on the floor. 

" Mr. Wilson, among thirty employees working in the unit, two employees are dead, " one of the police officers informed.

" As per the primary investigation, we think the fire accident happened due to the short circuit in the seventh unit, " he added.

" Short circuit! " Adrian exclaimed.

" Our staff check all the safety measures in the morning and the evening. The accident can't happen, " he stated.

" For now, we can't conclude anything. Please wait till we do our investigation" the police officer said and resumed back to his work.

" I will go to the hospital to know the health of the employee's condition" Adrian informed Katherine.

" No...sir. It is not wise to go to the hospital. It could be difficult to face the wrath of the victim's family " Duke advised.

" Mr. Duke...we are going. We don't want your stupid advice" Katherine said.

" No...Kathie. Duke is right. I will go alone. You stay here and take care of everything, " Adrian said.

" I am your wife and will be with you in good and bad times. Let's go…" she held his hand firmly.

" Kathie…try to understand. We don't know what will happen over there, " Adrian tried to explain.

" Whatever it is, I will be with you only, " she said stubbornly.

For the first time, Duke witnessed true love with his eyes. He always thought that the relationship between males and females is only physical just to fulfill their desires. He never saw a woman who truly loves a man. Then he understood why his boss was so possessive of his wife.

He was working in the company as he was scared of the video which Katherine recorded when he confessed his wicked plan. But this day, he realized his mistake by hurting good souls like Adrian and Katherine.

" Sir...I will take care of the situation here. You may go " Duke said sincerely.

Adrian nodded their head and drove to the hospital where the employees 

Were admitted.
