here’s the new and improved Visual Trigger! (:
Eddy knows he’s quite a good looking bloke. And he’s also got charm. And often he uses this to his advantage in getting what he wants or needs. In secondary school, he’d charm his way into girls’ hearts so that they would help him with his homework. With the boys, he’d make himself seem like a god. Someone who the other boys want to be like.
Now that he’s 26. Eddy still knows he has those two things going for him. And now that he has his mind set to get to the top of the corporate world with his partner and sister, Cath, and their new car security software. He will do whatever he can to get there.
The siblings need funding for research and testing of their software so that they can sell it to the market. But they didn’t have enough money. For months they keep trying to make appointments with some of the biggest companies in the country but to no success.
One night at a club, Eddy recognizes a girl as Mr. Edward Kay’s secretary of Kay Corporations. Mr. Kay is the founder of one of the biggest software companies to date. Eddy’s a fast thinker, so he didn’t waste any time and soon enough the girl falls for him. Two months later, and with very little persuasion, Eddy manages to secure an appointment with Mr. Kay. In that two months, Eddy learns as much as he can about Mr. Kay through magazines, newspapers and the secretary herself.
One important fact about Mr. Kay is that he treasures his family a lot. Being siblings Eddy and Cath took this as an advantage and got his interest. Unknown to the siblings, Kay Corporations takes in a few projects a year but would go ahead to only manufacturing one. They only find this out from Lisa, Mr. Kay’s daughter, at a company function that they got invitations to. Realization set in that they need to work harder to secure the business deal with Mr. Kay. Eddy didn’t want his sister to be disappointed, so he took it upon himself to work a little extra.
Lisa is a 17 year old who is just about to apply for college. Her mother, Mrs. Edwards, passed away three years ago. Her step mother, Bianca, is nice and tries hard to make Lisa feel comfortable. Lisa likes her but it’s just the age difference that’s unnerving for her sometimes. Bianca is 32 whereas her mum would be 47.
Bianca on the other hand, is very aware that Mr. Kay still mourns for his wife. And he had most probably married her so that Lisa will still have a mother figure around. Bianca is then often left to her lonesome as Mr. Kay goes about busying himself more and more with his company.
When they siblings were invited to company functions, Eddy never fails to be extra friendly to Lisa and Bianca. The lonely Bianca is then attracted to Eddy and the amount of attention that he gives her. Lisa is also attracted to Eddy and is besotted with him. The more fond the two women get of Eddy, the more they mention him to Mr. Kay and that sets a good impression for the siblings.
One night at another company function, Bianca confesses her love for Eddy and seduces him. Eddy tells Cath as he cannot keep secrets from her and Cath then withdraws her participation in their project. Saying to Mr. Kay that her reason is solely a personal one. Eddy continues his relationship with Bianca.
At Lisa’s 18th birthday bash, a drunk Eddy seduces the willing Lisa. He continues his relationship with both women as he doesn’t know how to get out of it without jeapordising his career.
On an unfortunate night, Lisa is out and catches Eddy’s and Bianca’s tryst. She gets awfully jealous and tells her father of the affair between Eddy and Bianca. Eddy is then dropped from the project and Mr. Kay takes claim over it. Now Eddy’s been blacklisted and he cannot find a job in any software company. And the boy that was once a god, is now a mortal.
I think I’m messed up for this. Just can’t seem to write. Bugger.

One Comment
A very good try at Greek tragedy. You almost got it. However, it would be more of a Greek tragedy if Eddy had slept with Lisa and Bianca and then found out that he was related to them or something like that.
