LOGINDespised, disgraced and divorced, Dukia Goven crouched under the rain, helpless and with no place to go. She really thought that was the end for her, but it was only the beginning. Dukia Goven, the pitiful orphan who was divorced for a lack of social capital was actually a billionaire heiress. She has one driving force: Revenge. "I will make them pay for every pain they ever caused me."
View MoreThe following morning, Ceci informed Dukia that a courier from Donovan Enterprise had arrived at the office.Except it was not a courier.It was Alex.Dukia looked up from her desk to see him standing at her door, dressed in a navy suit that seemed like it was tailored just for him; which it probably was, a leather portfolio tucked casually under one arm like he hadn’t just personally delivered a document that any junior associate could have emailed.“Mr. Donovan.” She kept her voice even, though her heart was currently running a sprint race. “I was not expecting you.”“I was just in the area.” Alex said, stepping into her office without waiting to be invited. He closed the door behind himself. “Thought I’d deliver the finalized contract myself.”Dukia knew it was not that simple, the man owned practically half of the city. He did not seem like someone who had the time to just be “in the area.”He placed the portfolio on her desk and remained standing, close enough that she had to til
The next morning, Dukia woke up at 7:45 AM.She had barely slept last night. Every time she closed her eyes, she could see the deep blue gaze of Alex’s eyes. She kept replaying their conversation over the phone over and over again in her mind.She needed to get a hold of herself. She was here for revenge, not to be loosing her head over a man she barely knew. She was not going to go down that route anymore, see where it had gotten her the first time.So no matter how attractive the fire was, she wasn’t going to go close enough to get burnt.And speaking of revenge, it was time to set up stage one of her plan.--------The penthouse was silent except for the soft hum of the washer in the kitchen.Dukia sat at her desk, her laptop open and her fingers hovering over the keyboard. On the screen was a list of companies. The list of Liam Young’s suppliers, his clients and his investors.She had been gathering every detail she could about the Young’s businesses. Every connection, every weakn
Another presentation you say?“Yes, Mr. Donovan. We are so sorry for wasting your time, but if you could just spare us 10 minutes of your time.” Dukia responded.“Alright, You have exactly 10 minutes. The clock is already ticking.” Alex said while taking his seat again.With that Dukia began her presentation. Every eye in the room was fixated on her. If eyes could kill, Mr. Cox’s eyes would have sent her six feet below. Mustering all the confidence within her, she gave the presentation her very best, knowing that if this deal fell through, so would her chances of turning the wheels of this branch.She walked them through market projections, untapped revenue streams and a restructuring plan that would cut costs by 30% while increasing output by 55%. She spoke with a confidence she absolutely did not feel, her voice steady even as Mr. Cox’s face got redder by the second.“...and finally, if we implement this strategy within the next ninety days, we can expect to see a 250% return on i
The Operations department had just brought in the list of pending projects when she heard shouts from just outside her door.Before she could react, her door was rudely flung open and in walked a pot bellied , bald, red looking man. “Who do you think you are coming into this place to start calling the shots, girl?” He spat out angrily.“I assume you are Mr. Cox. I am Dukia Chen. Pleasure to meet you.”“I am the new Manager sent from the headquarters, I believe you were intimated of my pending arrival before now.” Dukia replied calmly.“And what exactly gives you the right to start terminating my staff on your first day here. Look here young lady, you are just a little girl that I can trample and return back to where ever you came from. I am the Director here.” He barked.“Mr. Cox, you seem not to have read the email sent to you regarding my resumption here properly. I believe it was clearly stated that I am free to make major administrative decisions with or without your consent.”“N
