"Forgive you?" My words were soft but steady. "That's in God's hands. As for me, my job was to bring you to His doorstep."Do your time, fifteen years. Maybe you'll figure out the basics of decency."With that, I cut the call short–no room for more words.Forgive her? That would be the day.Once I had closed the chapter on Yvette, it felt like a weight had been lifted.Dad seemed to be setting me up for something bigger, slowly trusting me with the reins of the family business.I shadowed him in high-stakes business meetings, rubbing shoulders with the best in the business.My world kept expanding, and my skills sharpened at lightning speed.A year on, with Dad's backing, I stepped up as the group's vice president, right into the heart of the company's leadership.Taking the reins of the planning department, my inaugural act was to roll out our Christmas bonus program.Skipping the usual vote, I dropped the bombshell in our department's group chat.[Team, unwrap your Christm

Dad and I stepped into the planning department. It was a whole new world: the old desks were deserted, and the new department head and staff were in the thick of transitioning.The new department head stood to greet us, but Dad just led me to my old desk. My little succulent was still there, and my papers were spread out like I had just stepped away."Ella," he said, "you won't be sitting here anymore."He gestured toward the executive suite. "That's your office now. You're going to run the planning department."I froze. "Dad, I...""There's no need to second-guess yourself," he cut me off, his eyes unwavering."You've got what it takes. I wanted you to make your own way, to live like everyone else, to toughen up."However, I've realized that playing it too low-key just invites trouble from those looking to push you around."From here on out, you're the heiress of Harris Group, Trevon's daughter."Your name is your shield. I dare anyone to mess with you now."His declaration

Gary clicked on a screenshot, a private conversation between Keith and Yvette.[Keith: Ella's getting too big for her britches, thinking her smarts put her above me.[She had the nerve to challenge me on my last proposal, right in front of everyone.[Yvette: Don't sweat it, Mr. Johnson. Some folks just can't see past their own nose.][I'll handle her. I've got just the trick to make her fall in line.][Keith: Really? I'm all ears, as long as it doesn't backfire on me.][Yvette: You can count on me. This Christmas, I'll take her down a peg or two.[Let's show her what happens when you don't play well with others.][Keith: Do it right, no mess. Once it's done, consider your promotion in the bag.]That was when the truth hit like a ton of bricks."Hah. Wow. Alright, then." Dad's laugh was sharp with fury as he smacked the tablet down on the desk."Gary, get the cops. Assault with intent, attempted murder–give them everything."And get our lawyers on the line. We're suing. Nobo

"That's a lie!" Yvette shrieked, launching herself at Darcy in a frenzy. "You dare to smear my name? I'll rip your mouth off!"The bodyguards were on her in an instant, pinning her down with no effort.Keith, seeing his cover blown, quickly shifted the blame, pointing at Yvette and yelling, "Mr. Harris! She's the culprit! This wicked woman!"She's been stirring the pot, pushing Ms. Harris to eat the nut chocolate!"I was just duped by her. I was clueless!""Keith, you're slinging mud!" Yvette, though restrained on the floor, snapped back with equal venom. "It was obviously you! You were the one who couldn't stand Ella's defiance, always challenging you. You told me to set her straight!"You promised me a permanent spot if I handled it well! You gave me the green light!""That's a lie!" Keith shouted.In full view of everyone, they started tearing into each other like rabid dogs. My dad watched the spectacle unfold with an icy gaze, not uttering a single extra word. He simply si

Right behind my dad was a team of medical staff in white coats, clutching their first aid kits as they rushed in.Trailing them were bodyguards in sharp black suits, their faces set in serious lines.The whole room was in shock, Keith included, who stood frozen, gaping at the unexpected arrivals."M-Mr. Harris?"Keith's buzz from the alcohol cleared significantly.Our company's chairman, Trevon Harris, the man of legend who was as elusive as a ghost and only seen at the annual meeting?What was he doing there? Everyone was silently questioning.Keith's voice faltered, shaking as he spoke, "Why are you here?"My dad ignored everyone else, his eyes scanning the room like a radar until they landed on me, crumpled on the floor, my face a sickly shade of blue. Panic and anger flickered across his normally calm face for the first time."Ella!"He dashed over, gently scooping me into his arms."I'm here, Ella. Don't be scared, I've got you!"The words Trevon dropped were like a bo

The air in my lungs was growing scarce, each breath searing like inhaling shards of hot glass.I could not die there, not like this.With a desperate instinct to survive, I dug into my pocket with the last bit of strength I had and pulled out my phone.My fingers, trembling from lack of oxygen, managed to hit the speed dial I knew by heart, and I quickly typed out a text.[Dad, help. Allergic reaction, at Victoria Garden Hotel, 3rd floor, Crystal Ballroom…]As I hit send, my phone slipped from my limp grasp.That was when I felt a stabbing pain in my leg. Yvette had jabbed me with her stiletto heel."Hey! Quit faking!"Everyone, check this out. The show's getting real. She's twitching now! Should I call her an ambulance and get the spotlight on her?"Laughter broke out, cruel and loud."Yvette, that's too much. Ella's just acting, let her be," someone chided."She's probably just trying to win Mr. Johnson's pity after losing face in the vote," another sneered.Keith looked
