Today is my 18th birthday, my big day. Today wasn’t just my birthday but the day I will be announced as the heiress of the Hamilton dynasty. I have worked tirelessly since I was 15 years old to be able to earn my spot smoothly. I passed with distinction, I helped out at the office and the list goes on. I powdered my face and smiled at my reflection in the mirror. I picked up the family heirloom, a gold necklace that has been passed down for generations. I tried to put it on before it was snatched away from my hand. “Kora, I will not let you wear this,” Lydia yelled at the top of her voice. “Lydia, not today, please. It is my birthday.” Lydia rolled her eyes. “You don’t deserve to wear this, after all, we don’t know who the family heiress will be.” I was never interested in being the heiress, her only problem in life was to get the latest outfits and bags. I stared at Lydia, I wanted to fight her and put her in her place but I knew better than to start a fight with mother’s favorite. A few minutes later the servants came to inform us that the guests were arriving, our parents were already requesting we come downstairs so my birthday party could start. Lydia left with the heirloom before I could say anything. I added the finishing touches to my makeup and adjusted my floral dress. The ballroom was filled to the brim. I saw some familiar and unfamiliar faces. But in all, I was happy because today is going to mark the beginning of a new journey. I can’t wait to be announced as the new heiress of the Hamilton dynasty. As I walked elegantly down the stairs people seemed to have their eyes on me. I didn’t particularly think I was beautiful but I wasn’t unattractive either and I knew that because I had already started having marriage proposals from wealthy families, this luxurious lifestyle wasn’t for me but I knew I wanted to become the heiress. I have dreamed about this moment for as long as I can remember. “Come little ones.” My father called out to Lydia and I. I boiled in anger as I saw the heirloom sitting on her neck. I wanted to protest about what she did earlier but I knew my complaints would go unheard because she was my favorite child. Anytime I tried to complain, I always got reminded of how delicate she was due to her health problems. “Look at the beautiful necklace daddy.” Lydia showed him and he smiled widely. I felt like screaming and yanking it off her neck. “It looks beautiful darling.” “But dad-“ “That’s enough Kora.” I was cut short immediately, he knew exactly what I wanted to say. I nodded in agreement and Lydia hopped away happily. “Dad, there are so many people here today. I only wanted a few guests.” I said as I walked side by side with my father. “Well yes, but as you know today is a special day and we wanted the crowd to be as large as possible.” I sighed in exhaustion. My father took a look at me before tapping on his glass cup to draw people’s attention. It was finally happening. “First of all I would like to thank everyone for coming here today, I would also like to use this medium to wish, Kora a happy birthday.” I felt out of the world, my heart raced in excitement. “Thanks, Dad,” “And now, for the moment and announcement everyone in this room has been anticipating for so long. The heiress of the Hamilton dynasty is…” I closed my eyes and plastered a big smile on my face. “Lydia.” I dropped and for a moment I thought it stopped beating. Lydia? Why her? I stood there staring in disbelief. As everyone congratulated her, I ran upstairs and shut my door. “I was stripped off my right on my birthday.”

Derek’s PovI sat behind my desk my thoughts still burning from the heated clash with Peterson, my office felt heavy at the moment,the silence pressing down on me..I had loosened my tie as I ran through my temples,trying to regain composure.my chest still rusing and falling from the adrenaline if the confrontation,the words Peterson spat at me echoed like poison in my mind.I could feel the battle lines drawn deeper than ever before,and right there and then I knew my rival wouldn't stop until he tore me apart.A light knock sounded on the door,I straightened myself on the chair my voice curt. “Come in.”My secretary stepped inside cautiously, clutching a medium sized package in her hands. “Sir, this just arrived. It was delivered at the front desk, addressed directly to you. The receptionist thought it best to bring it to me immediately.”I had frowned up seeing that, eyeing the plain brown wrapping. There was no return address, no name. Just my name written across the surface in bold,

Derek's povThe ringing of my phone cut through the quiet hum of the morning.i was in the sitting in the living room my arm draped loosely around my wife, who was nestled against me on the sofa.the glow if sunlight streamed through the large windows warming the room and making it feel far away from the cutthroat world of mine that's full of corporate politics that I had been consumed in for years.but the shrill sound of my phone brought me back to realityI sighed and reached for the phone that lay on the coffee table.the screen lit up with my assistant’s name a sinking feeling settled right into my chest before I even thought of answering.“Good morning sir”she said her voice clipped but tensed “the board has called for an emergency meeting.they’re gathering in the conference hall in less than an hour so your presence is neededWith a frown registered on my face I sat upright”emergency meeting? what happened”“It's about the Orion deal you signed last week”she replied cautiously as t

Kora’s POVThe lid came off and the first time in forever, I breathed fresh air through my lungs. The hours I had spent in the drum was an agonizing one and I was still curled up like a sardine. I gasped, blinking against the dim warehouse light.My eyes moved up and there he was. Derek. As expected, he was looking down at me as if he wanted to cry. For a moment, the noise around me faded. All I could hear was the sound of my heart beating and the sigh of relief that escaped my lips.“Hands in the air!” Derek disappeared. I couldn't see what was going on, but I knew he was talking to Ella, and he wasn't happy at all.The man who had put me in the drum bent down, grabbing my arm and pulling me up. My legs ached badly from being cramped for so long, but I managed to stand on my feet .Ella, who was Lydia's best friend was standing there with her hands in the air, a smirk in her face as she looked at me. I felt like rushing towards her, and slapping her the exact same way she had done

Derek’s POVThe officers walked away, back to their car, their boots crunching on gravel. Lydia’s wicked smile stayed burned in my mind long after she turned and disappeared back into the warehouse.The police had asked me to leave her alone because she had nothing to do with it. That was what she wanted. She wanted me to give up, and go home.But I wasn’t going anywhere. If I had to sleep on the cold street just to find Kora, I was ready to do it.I got into my car and drove a short distance down the road, just far enough to be out of sight. Then I Then I parked behind an abandoned shop, where I could see the roof of the warehouse.Every minute felt like an hour as I sat there, my eyes fixed intently on the building. Even if a fly flew past there, I'd notice it. The night had grown cold, and I pulled my jacket tighter around me.We had missed something, I was very sure. There was no way Lydia would randomly go to a Warehouse because that was where she sought solace from her abusive
