Kings Empire.

[Queen Bee's Mansion]

This building is owned by the most successful people in New York City. They own a gaming company called the KINGS EMPIRE, though it's been inactive for a while.

A figure stood before the ornate mirror adjusting his tailored suit. His chiseled features and piercings reflected back, with his perfectly styled hair.

The opulent bedroom suite bustled with activity as maids scurried about, attending to his every need.

"Sir, your limousine awaits". One maid announced.

"I can't use that now, I'll look richer than her, book me a cab" he said, his gaze never leaving the mirror.

Just then, a beautiful elderly woman walked in, Polaria, his mother, she wore a look of disapproval on her face.

"My princess...why the early morning frown?”. He asked, smiling while she rolled her eyes.

"You still haven't told me why you want to work, you're back after years of being away due to your masters program and of all people, you want to work for that workaholic." Polaria said with a frown on his face.

Hearing this, he brushed it off with a smirk and said, "she's the main reason I came back mom."

Polaria sighed , she knew she couldn’t change her son’s mind, so she just left his room to attend to other business.

~~Mid-day~~

Monalisa sat in her office, her fingers busy on her keyboard but a constant distraction made her raise her head.

Her personal assistant was still kneeling down, begging for her job. She was one minute late and missed the call from an important client so Monalisa had relieved her of the job.

"Please ma'am, this will never happen again." She begged,

"Of course, it won't. That's because you won't be working here again." Monalisa smiled, as she snapped her fingers.

Her right hand man, Blade, entered immediately. A single lift and the girl was on his shoulder as she cried and begged for her job. Monalisa dialed her secretary line;

"Priyanka! Where is the damn new PA?"she asked, almost pissed.

"Ma'am, He seems to be running late. I called but he didn't respond”. The lady said, leaving Mona confused.

"I don't think he really wants this job. What kind of a moron is he?" She asked, surprised. But she was interrupted by someone, he didn't knock.

"I'm definitely not a moron, or do I look like one?" The handsome male said, he looked so hot in his suit but Mona isn't interested in that-- his guts stinks!

"How dare you? You are fired!"she yelled but he still walked to her table and sat on her chair facing her as he stretched his hands for a handshake.

"You can't fire me yet, I haven't started working. Hi, I'm MARCUS BRAUN, your new PA" . He winked at her and said.

[Honeyville highschool]

Honeyville high school is one of the best schools in the country, it's for billionaire kids and they only give scholarships to two kids every three years.

Each family is assigned a personal driver to pick up their kids by the school and the kids are allowed to come in any type of hair or other accessories except from the fact that you must be in your uniform, there's a cafeteria and their food is of top notch quality but some kids prefer bringing homemade food to school.

It was their lunch break and Alora sat alone eating her food, when three girls walked up to her. The one in the middle, Cindy, placed her hands on the table to get her attention, she looked at them with a frown.

"Awwww, our queen has chosen a personal table for herself today. Why isn't your bestie in school today?" She asked with a smirk as her minions, Lisa and Sally laughed out.

Ignoring them completely, Alora packed her lunch box and stood up to leave but Cindy stopped her.

"Get out of my way," Alora said calmly, but Cindy and her minions were not ready to do that.

"Don't be shy, you can talk to me, what's bothering you?" Cindy asked while Alora made to walk away.

"Is it because you don't have a father or maybe because your mom hates you? you must be stressed, unhappy and mostly lonely." She laughed out loud and some students laughed too enjoying her drama...this isn't a new thing for them.

"Cindy stop, she's gonna cry". Lisa laughed as she made faces.

"My mother does not hate me and I have a father"Alora defended herself.

"Sure thing, we believe you". Sally teased and continued , "I mean, you guys believed me when I said my dog was in love with my cat so I think we should believe what she is saying "she added, making everyone laugh.

Alora just shook her head, "How's that even funny?" She asked and made to leave when Cindy said again,

"If you have a Father that means he abandoned you, and we can all see clearly, your mom is even ready to sell you if such an opportunity comes, I wonder how it feels to be abandoned by your father and being hated on by your mom. But I can't relate cause I have a perfect.."the remaining words hung in the air, as Alora already pounced on her.

The class rep, Dante walked into the cafeteria, on seeing the scene, he ran to inform the teachers to separate them.

Many kids were cheering on the fight, Cindy's friends were trying to separate them but they got beaten in the process, Alora kept dealing with Cindy till a teacher came in with Dante to separate them, leading them to the principal's office.

……………………….

"Are you okay?". Monalisa glared at Marcus but he quickly took some files from her table.

"I guess this will be needed for the board meeting, see you later". He smiled and left.

Monalisa was about to speak when her phone rang and the name "Principal" on her phone's screen made her groan.

"Who has this child beaten up this time?" She shook her head and rejected the call before dialing Zoey's line.

"Hello ma". She answered as Monalisa instructed her to go to Alora's school and check what she had done again.

"Also talk to her because I won't tolerate her principal calling me everyday". Monalisa scoffed as she ended the call before Zoey could reply, "I wasn't even this troublesome when I was little but this girl is something else". she muttered softly as she received an email.

It was from Marcus, he sent all her schedule for the week, all the business meetings and trips that needed to be attended to.

Mona smirked while reading it, "He's a brave one, just wait till you taste my wrath, let's see if you will still have that confident look on your face". She said and resumed typing on her keyboard.

……………………..

Zoey and Alora were in the car driving home from school, the principal suspended her for two days and she is to return with an apology letter for Cindy

"Apology letter my foot". Alora scoffed.

"You shouldn't have beaten her so badly, she's in the hospital now". Zoey half yelled while Alora rolled her eyes.

"Auntie please, I'm already stressed. Joe, take me to my mom's office now!!". She ordered and he made a u-turn immediately.

"Alora". Zoey called but one glare from the girl made her keep quiet.

……………………………….

"Attention! Mini boss is coming, she will be here in five minutes". A female employee announced as everyone started running helter skelter, making everywhere more orderly and doing their jobs dutifully.

Marcus was with the secretary when the staff were all being restless.

"Oh gawd, I need to take this to the printer. I have arranged the files for our UK clients, but I still have to pick a date for the general board meeting. I pray she doesn't come to my office today or I will lose my job," the secretary, Priyanka, said worriedly.

"So she has the right to fire her mom's staff?" Marcus asked unbelievably.

"Madam has never interfered, it's more like she doesn't care, she finds it easier to hire new staff than banter with her mini form. She's like her mother and they both are strong-headed people with crazy mood swings". She chuckled and said, while Marcus shook his head.

A few minutes later, all the staff gathered in a single file to bow as Alora walked in, the secretary even forced Marcus to do the same.

"Good day boss, what might have brought you here by this time? shouldn't you be in school?". Sarah, an employee, asked with a big smile while Alora stood with her hands akimbo.

"How long have you been working here?". She asked as Sarah's smile disappeared completely and it was replaced with fear.

"thr...three...mo..months" she stuttered and quickly added, "I'm sorry please don't fire me. I don't have any other place to go". She started begging immediately while the other staff stood, each person's heart in their mouth.

"Whatever". Alora rolled her eyes as she walked to the private elevator and got in.

Monalisa has a personal elevator and she is the only one that has the right to use it. But Alora is very stubborn so she uses it, just to disrespect her mom. As she left, all the staff released their breaths and went back to their work,

"How old is she again?"Marcus asked.

"Fifteen,"Priyanka replied.

…….

[Monalisa's office]

She was busy with some files when Alora entered the office, without knocking.

"I didn't give you permission to enter". She said, still focused on her files.

Alora remained quiet as she walked straight to Monalisa's seat, which made her raise her head to see the little girl but this time, with tears rolling down her cheeks, making Mona's brows rise.

"Why are you crying?" She asked,

"Why do you hate me?"Alora asked while Mona looked at her like she was speaking French, then she scoffed.

"Where is Zoey? Go home" she said but Alora pulled the chair to face her.

"At least tell me why you don't like me, it will make me endure the hate. If you hate me so much then you shouldn't have given birth to me or you could have handed me over to an orphanage, everyday, I keep believing that I understand why you're being like this but there is no pleasing you!"

"Alora!!!"Mona screamed angrily and she flinched,

"Get out now" she calmly said, as she dialed Zoey's line.

"You have one minute to take this girl away from here or you lose your job". She yelled on the phone and hung up while Alora sniffed and moved back.

"I'm not leaving here till you answer my question or take me to my father, I'd rather suffer with him than stay here with you, who is my Father?!!". Alora screamed and Monalisa lost it, she immediately grabbed Alora's hand and dragged to the door, throwing her out.

Instead of falling on the floor, she fell into solid hands.
