Company takeover
Zia's eyes swept across the room at the discontented investors and the board members. Her lips curved up into a sly smile as she moved forward. Only one seat was empty, her seat. Mr. Allen had welcomed her to the seat while she made slow strides, her heels echoing in the silent room.Everyone seemed at ease, especially when she took the seat. She had been just like her father when she had led the company. The company had doubles their income in the first quarter of her taking the seat of the CEO.Everyone had named her beauty with brains. She had personally handled all the company contracts, big or small, never letting any rooms for mistakes.She wasn't like her sister who had only been after amassing wealth and having everything to her name." Pardon me for this intrusion especially after what transpired the previous day leading to lots of losses for the company.

Husband and wife
Asriel arrived at the Empire pub and casino, a high end pub that only the rich could have access to. He was already an hour late for his meeting. Five men had waited impatiently for more than an hour in a private room, sipping the bitter herb that burned their throats. On such a day drinking wasn't fun at all, especially after they had lost billions through the attack that happened last night.Asriel made his maiden entrance, seemingly unaffected by the anger that was evident on their faces. He sat on the empty seat before a waitress served his usual whiskey. He had seeped from his glass as the guys watched. No one was willing to speak up first, yet they had been yelping about how they would force him to return their funds they had invested." Mr. Gedor, with all due respect, what are you going to do about our business, my clients are already on my neck, waiting for the goods," Gray said, one of the prominent business men who dealt in drugs.Asriel had promised a safe delivery of the

The sisters confrontation
" Get out of the car bitch," Zichi yelled angrily knocking hard on the car.Zia opened her car swiftly before drawing Zichi back." Don't you know how expensive this car is, worth more than your useless life," " I'll kill you Zia, you can't have my company, and destroy my hard work and think that I'll let go of you easily. Back at the company I let you carry the show only because I didn't want to embarrass myself infront of everyone, but now that it's only you and I, I'll teach you a lesson, you'll have to return everything to me," Zichi said.Rex moved in between the two who were staring angrily at each other, but Zia drew him aside, she was a soldier and could protect herself." I'm really sorry for you Zichi, don't you know when to stop, when you've obviously been defeated, do you think your useless threats affect me at all, you are just but a little rat ranting helplessly . Didn't you just say that you'd kill me, then go ahead, kill me," Zia said amusingly, a threatening smile

Blood affair
Zichi had come out of the shower only to find her closet empty. She shouted for the servants but none heard her. With no other choice left, Zichi entered into Cai's room and picked his clothes which fitted her and put on. She sat back on the bed, trying to hatch a plan to get back at Zia, but how would she even do that when she had no idea where she lived. Her mobile rang bringing her out of her thoughts." Sis how's everything now?" Zia asked, she lay on her bed as she watched from her laptop Zichi's reaction." You are wrong Zia, you can't take the company from me, you can't touch my shares," " Don't talk about the past now dear sister, forget about the company, and soon, you'll forget about the mansion you are living in right now. I suggest you make good use of the change that I had the company give you. I can assure you, this would be the last cent you get from my company," " Just you wait and see," Zichi said and cut the line. She just received what she needed.She immediately

The heiress
It was the next day that Zia woke up early for work. She had worn heavy make up and shades to hide the few bruises she had from the previous night. She arrived at her company and headed straight for her private elevator. Everything had changed, from the security to the receptionist. Almost all the faces she met were familiar to her, her employees from last year.Zia stepped out of the elevator and first glanced over to the place that Zichi's image had occupied. It was gone, her father's portrait in its place.A smile crept up her lips even as she entered her office. " Felix, welcome back," Zia's eyes brightened seeing her secretary back." Thank you much ma'am. I'm glad to get my position back," Felix said respectfully as he bowed slightly." It's alright Felix, please make sure to get your compensation from the accounts for your unfair dismissal," Zia said as Felix opened her office door." Thank you ma'am, but getting my position back is more than enough," " My decision wasn't up

Zichi's painful death
Back at the party, Asriel had watched from a distance as Zia escaped into the dim corridors. He had wanted to follow after her, but some business men stopped him on his way. At the corner of his eyes he saw her rush into the room.With his mind only on her, he had brushed off the guys before he headed towards her. A second later he could see a man dressed in black get out of the same room she had entered. He couldn't get a good glimpse at him in the dim lit, coupled with the fact that he had lowered his head.A moment later Zia made her way out, a wide smile plastered on her face as one of her hands held around her heart. Her heart felt alive for the first time in many years. She had absentmindedly walked back into the party and almost bumped into someone, but she had stopped herself at once seeing the feet ahead of her." Asriel, what are you doing here?" " I thought I would talk to you, besides you stayed for too long inside there, I thought you were in trouble," Asriel said glanci

She picked her mobile to check the time, ten minutes to midnight. She dropped back her phone but it rang immediately." General, " Zia called, her heart skipped a bit." Are you still at the party?" The General asked." I'm on my bed, I left immediately after you. I realized that you were my only reason to enjoy all that."
