LOGINWhen I discover yet another tube of lipstick on the front passenger seat of my Porsche for the 99th time, I decide to send a reminder in my company's group chat. "Everyone, please make sure to take all of your personal belongings with you the next time you decide to hitch a ride. Otherwise, it'll be difficult for the owner to remove the stains from the leather seats." The newly-hired intern, Sasha Lane, is quick to shoot me down. "Me hitching a ride has nothing to do with you! A washed-up old hag like you should focus on keeping your man in line! "Are you already triggered by the fact that he decides to pick me up from my home and bring me breakfast?" I'm stunned, to say the least. The truth is, I've already acquired the controlling stake of this company. In order to preserve my fiance, Jack Locke's pride, I let him become the general manager of the company. On top of that, I even lend him my Porsche. At first, I thought he'd be grateful to me for what I did for him. But now, his mistress has the guts to call me out in the group chat. The higher-ups in the group chat often kiss up to Jack, so none of them dares to defend me. After giving it some thought, I get in contact with the company's legal department right away. "Previously, we discussed the matter of dismissing Jack from his duties and holding him accountable for embezzling the company's funds. I want you to get those tasks done as soon as possible. In fact, I want him to get kicked out of the company right now."

The lady ran faster as she can while carrying the baby who wasn't even breathing but her eyes were opened looking at the lady's face.
The people who was after them kept searching the whole forest where they last saw the lady.
"Don't worry Finesia, I'll keep you safe so hang in there my baby... be with mum."
She felt numb on her chest and realized that she was hit by an arrow. She vomits and blood came out from her mouth but she didn't stop from running.
She was only thinking of saving her baby, to not let anyone see her, the eyes of the God and a mortal, the eyes of the truth.
People will kill her without even seeing the beautiful world created by her father so she, as her mother, should save her baby.
"Ack... " She stumbled and felt the pain from her left knee that was hit by an arrow.
She starts tearing up while hugging the pitiful baby, wishing that someone with remorse would save her baby. She can't accept death without seeing her daughter in a safe place. She must save her, she's the only one who can stop the war between the Gods and mortals.
"Finesia my daughter, no matter what you see, don't ever look using your power, do not let others take you. You are you and your power only belongs to you, because it was given to you by the God, your father."
She kissed the baby's forehead and tried to stand even with the pain that prevents her from running again.
She heard the loud noises and screams of the people who were after them, the knights of the Corceigea Empire.
She was once a lady born from a noble family, her life wasn't that good but it wasn't bad. Her family worships the Gods in secret and lives according to the oracles.
It was a sin to worship the Gods according to the Empire law but they were in God's under. That's how she bear the daughter of Ephelitius, the God who created the world.
Her family received an oracle that a daughter of a second will bear the child of Ephelitius, she was that daughter, the second among the six siblings.
The family was boastful when she was pregnant with the God's child, inside the manor of Laurier, it was happiness but the people who are against the Gods are rather seeing the child in her womb as a sin.
The night when she was giving birth of her baby, a servant from the Laurier reported to the Imperial Palace that the Laurier family is worshipping the Gods and the second lady is giving birth to a God's daughter.
The whole family was killed except for her and her daughter who escaped, no--- rather, she was saved by her whole family. They sacrificed their lives for them to escape.
The baby suddenly breathe and chuckled while staring at her mother who was pale and sweating while running slowly.
They were about to reach the old castle when the lady was hit by an arrow on her abdomen making her slipped and vomits blood.
She was lying on the ground trying to reach her baby, she must run again, she must escape and save her daughter.
"Fin...esi..a "
She was crying while trying to reach her baby and when their eyes met the beautiful scenery suddenly appeared on her eyes.
That was the day she gave birth of her, when she heard the loud cry of the baby girl and when she saw the eyes of the Sun and the moon. The Sun who sees the truth and the moon who sees the lies.
That was the birth of her baby, the one who can balance the light and chaos. She named her 'Finesia' the daughter of the God.
"My baby... " she whispered while trying to reach the baby who was looking at her innocently.
'How I wish I could see you growing up while loving the world that was created by your father... How I wish.'
"Your Majesty, the sinner was found dead and the baby... It was gone."Looking at the dead body of the lady who gave birth to the sinner, he grinned and struck his sword on the cold dead body.
"My, my, I was really hoping to see that baby. I want to see the appearance of the half God and half mortal."
He looked up and let out a smile to welcome the moon who was mocking him for failing to see the daughter of God.
"Don't look at me like that my dear, you shine so brightly that I really want to kill the one who created you. That fucking God," he said.
He whistled when the moon didn't respond and remained on its place.
"Your majesty, what's your order?"
He removed the sword from the dead body and walked pass on the knight who was waiting for his order.
He stopped and turn his head slightly. "Go find the baby and never let anyone touch her aside from me, she's my prey after all."
At the same time, in an old castle where no one believes to live inside, the loud cry of the baby echoed inside the whole dark castle.
"She's not stopping... Am I that ugly?"
"Maybe she doesn't like the smell of this place, she was laughing earlier."
"Leia, Lily, she may be hungry we need to find food for her."
The three fairies fled outside and tried to find food for the baby. When they got back, they brought different kinds of plants and failed to feed the baby who was crying heavily.
"She's... She's not eating!"
Then Lily the fairy, who possessed the power to change anything starts to light the dark castle and change the rotten things into a new one.
The baby stopped from crying and chuckled as she sees the sun and moon from the roof.
As the light started to fill the whole castle, the future suddenly arise in the baby's eyes.
The light and chaos, the future untold.
Six months passed in the blink of an eye.In the busiest commercial district downtown, the new-energy tech company I controlled was holding the grand opening ceremony for its headquarters.The weather wasn't cooperating. It was pouring, but the heavy rain didn't dampen the excitement at the scene. Industry bigwigs had all shown up, and reporters' cameras were flashing nonstop.I cut the red ribbon amid thunderous applause."Congratulations, Ms. Stanton! With this new energy project landing, your future is limitless!"Several veteran business leaders came over with champagne, smiling from ear to ear. I clinked glasses with them and smiled, handling the small talk with ease.Just then, a commotion broke out near the security line at the building's perimeter."Hey, what do you think you're doing? Back up! You can't park your scooter here!"A few security guards in suits were pushing away a man in a food-delivery uniform, their movements rough.The man was soaked to the bone and h
Jack had finally hit rock bottom. He couldn't even afford rent and was forced to move into a dark, damp basement room in the slums.Later, all the disgusting things that happened in that basement eventually reached my ears.Sasha had latched onto him like a leech. After Jim got the money from her, he'd blown it all at the casino. When it was gone, he'd beaten Sasha half to death, then packed up and disappeared.Broke and with nowhere else to go, Sasha had crawled back to Jack."Jack, I was wrong. I know that I messed up." She'd kneeled at the basement door, clutching Jack's leg and sobbing like her heart was being ripped out. "Jim forced me. He threatened me with my parents' lives. That's the only reason I gave him the money."Jack had stared at her, taking in her face mottled with bruises. A flash of disgust had passed through his eyes. He'd kicked her away."Get out, you bitch! If it weren't for you, I never would've ended up like this!" he'd roared.But Sasha hadn't left. She
I mailed the detailed account statement, along with copies of the mortgage contract, to every single one of Jack's relatives. In less than three days, the Locke family's house was forcibly seized by the creditor.Later, from the documents Alan organized from me, I saw that Melinda had clung to the doorframe, wailing and refusing to leave. In the end, the debt collectors had dragged her straight out onto the street.She was used to throwing her weight around in the city, but at that point, she'd had no choice but to slink back to her rundown hometown in the countryside.All the relatives who had flattered her shamelessly at her birthday celebration now acted completely differently."Well, well. If it isn't the big-shot general manager's mom. What's with the homeless look?""General manager, my ass. Her precious son used company money to support his side piece and even lost the family home. That's called karma!"Melinda tried to crash at a relative's place but got a bucket of dirty
The following morning, I was jolted awake by my phone ringing over and over. The second I answered, Jack's hysterical voice exploded through the speaker."Noelle, what the hell did you do? Why did the bank freeze all my accounts?"I rubbed my temples and pushed myself up in bed. "Mr. Locke, you're the company's legal representative. The 30-million-dollar debt from the earnout agreement is due. Of course, the bank went after you.""That's bullshit! You're the one who signed that agreement!" he roared."It's all in black and white. You personally signed the paperwork to make you the legal representative." My tone stayed calm. "You went to the bank first thing this morning to try to shuffle money around, right? How'd that go?"The line went dead quiet, leaving only his heavy breathing. I didn't need to see him to picture his face right now.What bank would lend a cent to a company owner carrying 30 million in debt and a completely ruined credit record?"Noelle." Jack's voice sudden
