who are you?
“What the hell were you thinking, you foolish girl? You had him right there! You mocked the most powerful man in the city to his face!”Grandma's voice echoed through the silence.Elena flinched, pulling the silk sheets higher. “How was I supposed to know? He was a convict! He dressed like a chauffeur!”“And now he dresses in billion-dollar suits and owns the world you desperately want to crawl back into!” The old woman’s cane thumped against the Persian rug for emphasis. “Your stupidity began when you left him for Adrian.”“Don't go there, Grandmother. It was all your idea for me to make him take the blame for my brother's action so I can be with Adrian.”"It's your fault for not having foresight. Anyways, we have to think of a solution and not throw blame. The company will go under if we don't do something.""There's no coming back from this ma,""That's why I keep calling you daft.There is always a way back for a woman with a fertile womb"Elena paused, "what are you saying?"“I’m
i told you, you will regret this
The next few days flew by quickly. News of Elena’s embarrassing scene at Maison De Royce spread everywhere. Blogs, gossip pages, even fashion accounts posted the video. Each time, the comments were worse than before.“She really got thrown out like a thief.”“That Leo guy didn’t even raise his voice.”“Power move. Cold and clean.”Elena avoided the internet completely. She stayed indoors, fuming, until her grandmother burst into the room one morning.“Stop hiding like a coward!” the old woman barked. “Do you want everyone to think you’re dead?”Elena groaned and pulled the blanket over her head. “I’m not going out there. They’re laughing at me.”“Then give them something else to talk about!” Grandma slammed her cane on the floor. “Imperium Holdings is hosting their event tonight. The biggest company in the world! Do you hear me? Silas Hamilton himself is naming his successor!”Elena peeked out from under the blanket. “That old man again?”“Don’t be stupid,” Grandma said. “The successo
Seduce the successor
Elena slammed the door behind her so hard the picture on the wall shook. Her heels clicked angrily across the marble floor as she threw her bag on the sofa.From the corner of the room came her grandmother’s sharp voice.“Back so soon? Don’t tell me you failed again, useless girl.”Elena froze. “Grandma, please, I’m not in the mood.”The old woman, small but fierce, was already standing up from her chair. “Not in the mood? You think I care about your mood? You can’t even convince that silly Briggs girl to work with us. What are you good for? You’ve wasted beauty, time, and my money!”Elena clenched her fists. “It wasn’t my fault! Leo went behind my back. He talked to Chloe before I got there. He ruined everything!”“Leo again.” Grandma let out a harsh laugh. “You always blame that man. If you were half as clever as you think, he wouldn’t have left you in the first place.”“Adrian has a plan,” Elena said quickly. “He’ll fix things once he—”The old woman’s eyes narrowed. “Adrian? Did y
He'll wish he never met us
The TV was turned on and the news was blaring loudly in the background but she could care less. She was thinking about herself as she stared at her reflection in the mirror. Adrian had been arrested but it meant nothing to her.“What a mess,” she said to the empty room. “I really picked the wrong one, didn’t I?”She picked up a tube of foundation. “Adrian had the big name, the fancy family. But look at him now. Handcuffs and court dates.” She smoothed the makeup onto her cheek. “And Leo… who knew? That nothing of a man I dumped would rise up to this.”Dabbing a dark, purplish eyeshadow, she leaned closer to the mirror. She blended it under her eye till it looked like a bruise. “Stupid, stupid Elena. You should have seen it coming. You should have known he had something special hidden away.”She finished her makeup, adding some pale powder to make her skin look sickly. She studied her face. Perfect. It was as if she's been crying and that's exactly the look she was going for. She'll ma
He ruined himself
He did not need anyone to tell him that she was getting scared out of her wits. He could see the panic in her eyes. Her hands were even trembling as she stared at the tablet in her hand.“you don’t need to panic,” Leo said, his voice calm and steady. “I need you to trust me. Give me one hour. I will fix this.”Chloe looked up at him, her face pale. “One hour? Leo, my company is falling apart right now!”“One hour,” he repeated, his voice firmer. He turned and walked out of her office without looking back.He got into his car, a sleek black vehicle that was waiting for him. As soon as the door closed, the outside world went quiet. He took out a simple, secure phone and made a call.“I need you to find the person who started the rumors about Briggs Corporation,” he said into the phone. His voice was cold. “You have ten minutes. I want the name and I want the person brought to me.”He ended the call and leaned back in his seat. He did not have to wait long. In exactly ten minutes, the ph
Everyone's pulling out
Leo was starting to get tired. This gala was filled with people of questionable backgrounds, bootlickers and well...notj one person got his eye.But he had promised he'd help so help he will. He took a few steps and his eyes fell on something: the nervous face of a young man in a slightly big suit, standing near a small, not so impressive display in a corner far from the main attractions.The display held a small, sleek device—a data storage unit, according to the simple placard. The company name was "Aether Tech," and the founder was a man named Alex Rook. As Leo watched, a small group of investors, including Adrian Wright, walked by the display. One of them chuckled, not even bothering to lower his voice."Data security? A kid like that thinks he can compete with the giants? He should stick to writing code in his garage."Adrian smirked, swirling his whiskey. "Hope he didn't spend his life savings on that table. It's the most action it'll see all night."This wasn't new to him. Leo
