The Arrangenment.A>K Styles. "I do not want to hear any complaints or opposition concerning the matter and in case you haven't noticed, my Empire, my rules. Question me and you'd get it, do you really want to try that?" the young lady seethed as fury burned in her eyes. The workers who were seated shook their heads as every one of them knew what the boss was capable of doing. "We have the prototypes for the next project, the sketches, the materials, everything needed for the production of the next designs so explain to me why you're prolonging the process by waiting around doing nothing or do I remind you that I do not like waiting around?" Eleonora Ricci looked fearsome and no one wanted to be the unlucky person to fall into her trap. "I want this project done by tomorrow 8:00 am sharp." Eleonora stood up from her seat and walked right out of the room with her head held high. She couldn't believe the type of workers she had. Why were they being so lazy when there was so much work to

Of course, her parents just had to trust the raven-haired woman to do the math while they internally palmed themselves, they couldn't understand why she had a damn pen in front of her. Oh right, she was the CEO. For one's business to be successful, one has to be able to make crucial calculations in life and Eleonora was a typical example of that. Not only was she a genius in the subject, but she also was a great businesswoman thanks to it as well, which was why she was highly recommended and respected. Anyone who made her go through the rigorous process of calculating would have to deal with her wrath and she would make their job ten times harder. She looked up after she was done with the calculations. "And I make a minimum of 80 million per anum, added to the stress, distractions and psychological damage I will get from this all, there is a 49.8 % chance of me losing about 10% of my wealth just because of this!" She hissed, not happy with the results at all. "Mi Nina, it's not that l

The older woman had her hair long jet black hair braided in a ponytail that highlighted her gorgeous face.She was in the same age range as Eleonora's parents but she looked way younger than the both of them put together.Her blue eyes stood out, complementing her sharp jaw line and defined collar bones, she was fairly muscular and it'd come as a surprise to anyone that the woman didn't work out but it was obvious to see that she was pretty sporty in her high school and college days."Hello, baby. How are you and how was work today?" Her soft voice asked.Josephine rubbed soothing circles on Eleonora's back. It was easy to do that since she was almost Eleonora's height and Eleonora was a tall woman who was almost 6 ft tall."Hey, Josy. I am exhausted and all I want to do is cuddle with you while drifting off to sleep and about work, I'd just say same old, same old, only that today was added with a twist because the demon and the demoness came to visit," Eleonora scoffed."And they gav

Meanwhile, unknown to the two people in the movie theatre, Rosaline was standing just outside the place when she saw both of them all cuddled up.Her stomach turned instantly because she wanted her daughter to hold her like that. Even just for once but she knew better that it won't happen, not anytime soon at least.She wanted movie dates with her daughter, spa time, shopping sprees, and cooking competitions with her daughter but the young woman wouldn't even look in her direction for more than a minute.Rosaline wanted a relationship with her child but also knew that she'd have to work hard for it. After all, she wasn't always there so her coming all of a sudden to try to win Eleonora will only make her suspicious given her nature.She quietly left where she was standing to go get the bottle of water she originally planned to get before seeing her daughter and Josephine.The next day, Eleonora woke up to a sleeping Josephine beside her and she used the time to thank the heavens for b

The funny part was that she made the second route for a completely different purpose and now it was coming to very good use.She smiled to herself as she walked through the turns.She finally got to her room and got ready for work, noting that today she had to just bear with her parents before leaving for work and then she'd see them again later by the time she returned from work.She just hoped that they didn't decide to show up in her office once again because no one would stop her from just outrightly screaming at them once things got too much.Eleonora finished her usual morning routine and had a shower before quickly drying up and slipping into her retro dark blue suit pants with a matching dark blue turtleneck long-sleeve shirt.With some diamonds spluttered here and there but not too much for an official outfit, she wore her jacket and snatched her eight-inch stiletto heels from the floor where she placed them.Wearing her shoes and making her hair into a simple sleeked back po

How dare she talk to him like he was her subordinate?The audacity!He was her father for crying out loud! Father! Not her mere employee so of course, the man was annoyed beyond redemption but he contained himself because of the woman who was trying her hardest to please their daughter.After what Eleonora said the night before it seemed as if something went off in his wife's brain because the woman argued with him and even threatened him when he tried to reprimand her.He didn't care about anything his wife decided to come up with because he had never made a mistake in the way he trained Eleonora but of course, Eleonora will beg to differ on that one."Mother, can you answer me or do I have to finish my food first before you do?" Eleonora smiled a bit as if she didn't just indirectly insult her mother.Not blatantly insulting but her father wouldn't agree with that."I do not know why you even thought for a second that I will try to poison you but-" Rosaline was interrupted just when

"Back to what I was staying, the chef tasted the meal I prepared and was absolutely speechless for a few minutes and the servants there with us at that time thought that he had a minor heart attack because the man was immovable and only kept blinking his eyes every now and then and when they tried to take the plate from him, he nearly punched someone," Rosaline laughed as she remembered that time "Don't touch my plate, fat heads! He would say, Rosaline, the dish you made is absolutely spectacular in looks and taste. I must say that I am proud to have you as a student but now you have graduated and you passed beautifully," She smiled. "The chef was delighted as he said that and you could see how happy and proud he was from the look on his face. He had the biggest smile I have ever seen on his face and because of that I was able to see the set of pearl white teeth he had but was hiding underneath the scowl wore all the time I went

After the curt answer, my father looked me straight in the eye and repeated it one more time as if to solidify his rejection before he stood up from the head chair and stalked menacingly towards me. "You will in no way study that downgrading course, do you hear me?!" My father barked at me. "What a waste of time and talent! I have not spent so much time investing in you just for you to tell me that you want to go into cooking like a damn lowlife! I didn't raise a nobody chef you hear me? You are going to study business at the university once you finish high school and you are going to write applications to all the universities which will be my choices set for you, and then after your years in university you will marry my friend's son Vito and that's that!" He commanded, leaving me no room to object. Angel, my father looked at me with his blazing blue eyes that had high flames in them and the rest of the family members remained quiet because they were trying hard to be invisible a

Eleonora never lacked anything material-wise and when it came to the matter of her parents' love and affection, she didn't lack there because she had Josephine there to make up for it when her parents decided she was just an item that could be picked and dropped anytime they felt like it. Josephine cuddled Eleonora who was harshly wiping the tears off of her face, she had told herself time and time again that she wouldn't cry for her parents, her father especially but here she was wiping the remaining evidence left to prove that she was just bawling her eyes out because of her parents. The woman who had a slight bulge under her eyes raised her head to look at Josephine and the latter smiled at her encouraging her to try the whole smiling game and she did it, she offered a slight smile to her favourite person in the world while Josephine pat her back while rubbing circles as well, making her calm down instantly. "Do you want to talk about it?"Josephine asked in a soft voice. "What'

The frustration and pain she was going through were just too much for her to handle at the moment."You took me away, far far away to a deserted island where it was just me, you and the bodyguards with the helpers on that island and no one else. You made me work from home, overseeing my businesses while you kept me locked there for years and then every once in a while, you brought me back to the same location as Elly which happened to be the mansion in Spain,""I would spend all my time pleading with you to let me see my child but you'd never agree and you'd threaten to divorce me and take full custody of her, I couldn't care less about the divorce part but taking full custody?! You were breaking and destroying me inside, I was completely shattered so much that I had no choice but to push emotions to the back of my mind!!" Rosaline hissed."I was your pawn and you made sure to keep it that way for a very long time but not anymore, I am filing a divorce and Eleonora is already an adult
