NIKAELEON***It had been almost two weeks since the news about our deaths spread. Only two of our most trusted allies knew that we were alive. My father was still comatose, but Antonio and I had been busy planning how to take back the business. I contacted Scorpion three days ago and let him know how it would go down while he gave me information that he had gathered while pretending to be part of our enemies.According to Scorpion, Levi had been released by his fellow traitors. The men they thought were loyal to me had been kept in cells, Levi wanted to handle them by himself. Like I suspected, he had been recuperating from all we had done to him so he didn’t have the time or energy to torture or kill the men in the cells yet. Scorpion had also been spared like I had guessed he would, Levi only made him do demeaning jobs as punishment, so he was basically a servant but at least he was alive.We would have made our move the day after I had contacted Scorpion, but he told us to wait. H

NIKAELEON***GRANT INCORPORATED…The company’s name was written boldly on the building that was as tall as the skyline. The skyscraper was a sleek modern monstrousity that stood out among the other skyscrapers around the business district. I sat in the back of the car with Antonio as the driver manoeuvred us into the private parking lot reserved for the company’s executives. I almost rolled my eyes as I saw the car that was already parked in the spot reserved for the CEO. Connor’s ego was the size of the skyscraper, if not, why would he feel the need to announce his position everywhere. People with true power don’t need validation from anyone, neither do they need to announce their strength, their affluence speaks for them. Connor was just a spoiled brat in a man’s body, and I couldn’t wait to see his expression when I walked into the board meeting in a few minutes.“Is there a problem? Why aren’t you making a move to leave?” Antonio asked when I remained in my position after the car

NIKAELEON***“What is the agenda for today’s meeting?” I asked as I walked to the seat at the head of the table.Connor was still standing beside it with a flabbergasted expression on his face. For almost a minute, no one answered me, they were still trying to process the events of the last five minutes. It was the secretary seated apart from the board members taking minutes that replied to me.“The agenda of today’s meeting is to find a way to rectify the damage done by the past week’s misfortune. The company’s stock drop, the bad publicity, machinery failure and human resource issues to mention a few.”“Everything will be resolved this week. I’ll have the negative media articles removed by tomorrow.” I said.“We’ve tried to negotiate with the media houses about bringing all the articles down, but this time, they just won’t budge. We’ve exhausted all resources available on that end, there’s nothing that can be done about it at this point.” I was making sure that their connections w

NIKAELEON***The news of my takeover had already spread to the media. As I took my seat to begin the press conference, I could see the excitement on the reporter’s faces. They lived for drama, and what was more dramatic than a hostile takeover between people with history. The point of the press conference was so I could set the record straight, make sure that what they released was the original version of the story, or as close to original as I could get it. I didn’t really care what they wrote in their headlines, as long as it’s written in my favour.Three board members were also present and we all sat on four of the five chairs I had requested to be kept here. Only these three had indicated interest in being here today, but I had a gut feeling that the fourth person would be here even though he didn’t indicate interest in attending the press conference.“Before we begin, I would like to avoid this conference becoming raucous so if you have a question raise the tag that was given to

NIKAELEON***As I walked into the lobby entrance of my new company, the employees milling about turned to watch me. I kept my expression impassive as I walked towards the elevator without my guards flanking me. I could read the expressions on their faces and through their body language, most of them were anxious about the new change, not certain if it would be good or bad for them despite the reassurance from me that not much will be changed in terms of their job security. Some were hopeful that the change in management would be good for them. Some were afraid that the change would affect them negatively, these ones were probably involved in some of the shady things going on in the company and were scared of getting caught. Then there were the women that eyed me like I was a piece of candy, wondering if they could use me to get to the top.I could understand that I was a dream come through for most of them. Extremely handsome, rich, with that bad boy vibe that makes women curious and
