The grand ballroom was filled with a sense of excitement and anticipation as guests mingled, sipping champagne and exchanging pleasantries. Crystal chandeliers cast a warm glow over the elegantly decorated room, and the soft hum of conversation created a vibrant atmosphere. As I looked around, I couldn't help but feel a mix of nerves and excitement. This was the moment I had been preparing for, and I was determined to make it a success.Madam Katie stood beside me, her presence calming and reassuring. "Carina, you look stunning," she said with a smile. "Are you ready for this?"I took a deep breath and nodded. "Yes, I am. Thank you for believing in me, Madam Katie."She gave my hand a gentle squeeze. "You deserve this, Carina. You're going to do great."As we made our way through the crowd, Madam Katie began introducing me to various guests, each one more distinguished than the last. "Everyone, I'd like you to meet Carina, the new CEO of our company," she announced, her voice filled w

Luke sat in his dimly lit living room, his eyes glued to the TV screen. The news was showing highlights from Carina's handing over ceremony. He watched, jaw clenched, as Carina confidently delivered her speech, then saw Martins kiss her passionately. The crowd's cheers seemed to echo in his ears, amplifying his anger and jealousy."That should be me!" he roared, standing up abruptly and hurling a vase across the room. It shattered against the wall, causing Claire to jump in her seat."Luke, calm down!" Claire demanded, her voice a mix of irritation and concern."How can I calm down?" Luke shot back, pacing furiously. "That should be me standing beside her, not Martins!"Claire folded her arms, her expression skeptical. "You were the one who said you hated Carina, remember? You wanted nothing to do with her."Luke stopped and turned to face his mother, his eyes blazing. "Can't you see, Mother? Carina is now a billionaire. She's powerful, successful. She's everything we need."Claire's

I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting my blazer for what felt like the hundredth time. My hands were shaking, and I could feel my heart pounding in my chest. The business proposal meeting was only an hour away, and the fear of failure loomed over me like a dark cloud. How could a high school dropout like me possibly pull this off?I picked up my phone and called Martins. His soothing voice was exactly what I needed right now."Hey, Carina," he answered almost immediately. "How are you feeling?""I'm a wreck, Martins," I admitted. "What if I mess this up? What if they see right through me?""Listen to me," Martins said firmly. "You are incredibly smart and capable. You’ve worked so hard on this proposal. Just breathe and trust yourself. You've got this."I took a deep breath, trying to absorb his confidence. "Thanks, Martins. I really needed to hear that.""You’re going to do great," he assured me. "And remember, I’m here cheering you on."As soon as I hung up, my phone rang again.

I met with my lawyer, Mr. Thompson, at his office early in the morning. The air was thick with anticipation. Today was the day we would serve Luke with the court papers. I had been waiting for this moment, and I could feel my heart pounding in my chest. Mr. Thompson looked up from his desk, his expression calm and reassuring."Are the papers ready?" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady."Yes, Carina," Mr. Thompson replied with a nod. "Everything is in order. We're ready to move forward."I took a deep breath and nodded. "Good. Let's do this."We left Mr. Thompson's office and headed to my office first. There were a few things I needed to take care of before confronting Luke. The drive was quiet, both of us lost in our thoughts. The city buzzed around us, oblivious to the storm brewing in my life.At my office, I handled some urgent emails and signed a few documents. It was a necessary distraction, something to keep my mind from spiraling. My assistant, Jenna, sensed my tension and

Nelly Westwood was lounging on the sofa in the family living room, flipping through channels absentmindedly. She had spent the better part of the morning sulking over her recent string of bad luck. Her career had hit a stagnant point, and nothing seemed to be going her way. As she settled on a news channel, her mood darkened further when the anchor mentioned a name she had grown to despise: Carina."Today, in a major industry move, Carina Rodriguez has signed a groundbreaking deal with one of the leading entertainment companies," the anchor announced. "This partnership promises to bring innovative and exciting projects to the market. Carina Rodriguez is seen here with the company's representatives, looking confident and radiant."Nelly's heart sank as images of Carina flashed on the screen. Carina's smile was wide and genuine, a smile that Nelly was sure was directed at her, mocking her failure. Carina looked every bit the successful, unstoppable force she had always feared her to be
