The Death Race : Part 2

Michelle was waiting for an opportunity to introduce Steve to her father. Steve had different plans as far as why he wanted to be in relationship with Michelle. He had already planned his way of dealing with Mr. Parker. The single goal he had in mind was to head the Parker Banks and to be the next chairman , he pretended to be least interested in Parker Banks when Michelle was around him . Michelle wanted to influence her father and convince him that Steve was a perfect fit for their family and she also told Steve that the only way they are going to convince her dad was to prove him that Steve was capable enough to succeed Mr.Parker and lead the Parker enterprise in the near future.  Listening to these words Steve felt his half the job was done but pretended to be least interested again. He had virtually won his stake at this stage.

Steve's dad Stanley Richard was a very influential lawyer and he knew most of the board members of Parker Banks. Steve wanted to setup a meeting with Parker's board members  who were willing to sell off their shares without Parker's interference. The board members were 12 of them together including Parker. Parker had a major stake and held 12% of the total shares. Steve knew he will screw up the whole thing if Michelle gets a sign of what he was up to. Richard came to know their were two members of the board who were willing to sell their stake and it would come up to 11% , Steve thought this could be a good move and made all arrangements for the agreements sign up. Steve felt now he had a strong reason why he can be Michelle's husband and the next probable Chairman of Parker Banks. Richard never knew about Steve's relationship with Michelle and his actual intentions , all he knew was he was into another big gamble. This time Steve was not just gambling with his money but also betraying Michelle's trust. 

Michelle introduced Steve to her father and expressed her decision of getting married to him. Parker's immediate response was a big NO, he neither liked Steve nor he wanted Michelle to choose her partner , as with her career he always wanted to decide on her marriage. Michelle was furious on her father for continuously influencing her life and her decisions. All she wanted was to pursue fashion and marry Steve which her father never agreed upon. Steve insisted to speak with Mr.Parker in private, Parker refused at first and later thought the young man's explanation will not change his mind and signaled Michelle to leave the room. Steve was confronted with a tough challenge in convincing Parker , the conversation was nothing but mere failure, Parker's legacy,achievements and Steve's background never made parker change his mind. Parker stepped out of the room and warned Michelle that nothing should be done against his will. 


Two days later Michelle decided that she should marry Steve and follow her dreams and come out of her father's control. She spoke to Steve and expressed her intent to quit harvard and step into the fashion industry. Steve didn't like the idea , since he knew its not going to be in his favour. He wanted to marry her but not by going away from Parker. Steve was forced to agree and already thought about an alternate plan in his mind. Two days later they were away from Mr Parker and Harvard for a very long time to come. 

Parker discovered that Michelle was away from him and also found out from Mr Gosling that Steve owned 11% shares of Parker Banks , this made Parker aggravated and wanted to  avenge on Steve for having betrayed the stakeholders trust. Parker wanted the two board members who sold the shares to Steve be immediately probed and arrested if found guilty of misconduct and cheating. Parker envisaged this act as a conspiracy from Michelle , he wanted to destroy Steve and Michelle. 

Michelle sets up a new fashion school which trains models and a firm which introduces new fashion trends , she had limited funds to carry on with her dreams and wanted Steve to support her. Steve had different gambling ideas , and had no intention to support Michelle. Steve and Michelle who set out to create a lifetime fortune for themselves when they were in Harvard started destroying themselves. Two years later Michelle gave birth to a child and named him Alan Parker. She thought its time for her to go back to her father and expected him to receive her wholeheartedly. Michelle spoke to Steve about going back to her father , he thought he has another chance this time to hold on to the chairman position , he agrees with Michelle and thinks about Christina a multimillionaire and Steve's second wife whom he had married very recently and the only reason was she is a millionaire.
