Exelle . . 4 days afterI rested my palms on the windowsill, gazing out at the cityscape spread before me. From this floor, the whole image of the city was visible, with tall buildings competing to reach the sky and the distant sounds of vehicles on the streets below.This is the reason why my grandfather built this tower in the first place – the MON Corporation's Tower. It's also the reason why I am the last remaining member of our family. But even though I'm the sole heir, I still need to reclaim the corporation and place it in the hands of the rightful person.The room was supposed to be quiet, but I deactivated the soundproof mode of the floor-to-ceiling window, allowing the sounds of the bustling city to seep in. I glanced down to the floor before turning to face the owner of approaching footsteps.Hans stood before me, his face that used to always display

Exelle  . . . "Incy wincy spider went up the water spout," I sang as I watched the security guards dragging Hans down the corridor until they disappeared into the elevator. Fortunately, only his secretary witnessed his embarrassing moment.I wondered what would have happened if I had exposed him in front of everyone. It would have been amusing."Down came the rain and washed the spider out..." Pierce continued the nursery rhyme I sang earlier while standing beside me, observing our little drama with Hans.I glanced at him and couldn't help but smile.

Third Person's PoV...*smack*The crisp sound of a slap echoed throughout the entire lobby, causing a few people walking by or going about their business to stop and gather around. Exelle raised an eyebrow, watching the scene unfold, aware she was responsible for the loud slap. The unfortunate recipient of her sharp 180° slap was none other than Rylie.'If you didn't come here and start this, you wouldn't have ended up embarrassed like this,' Exelle mused to herself. For her, Rylie wouldn't be pitied if she had just thought twice before acting.

Exelle I scanned the papers outlining the details of the ongoing project at EXellenne Royale. The estimated construction time was three and a half years.'Two or three years, I think,' I pondered before gently placing the document that had occupied my attention on the desk before me. I allowed my eyes to quietly traverse the contents before redirecting my focus to something new in my line of sight.Playing with the swivel chair beneath me, I cast a glance toward a bouquet of dahlias adorning the coffee table, centered amidst the sofa set. A bouquet comprised solely of dahlias. Their fragrance wafted through the air-conditioned office, akin to a stranger perched atop a table with flowers of contrasting hues."Betrayal."I moistened my lips, lifting myself off the seat and moving towards the flowers. One of the meanings associated with this particular bloom was betrayal. It seemed Alexis was subtly warning me about his next move. Though not conveyed verbally, its message was clear. Des
