Lord Leinhart’s announcement seemed to make everyone except Mia and her parents glad. They have been plotting ways to impeach Mia from her position as the CEO of the family business.
Somehow Mia had been able to escape their traps without getting hit. This was a free opportunity that came to them for free. The members of the Leinhart family converted the position of the CEO because they could earn a lot from it..Being the highest position in the family, the CEO gets a new ride every three months and they stay in a luxurious Villa to themselves. They also get unrestricted trips around the world, plus recognition from everyone in the country.It is a position with killing for.“Father, that is extreme.” Mia’s mother lamented. “Stripping her off her positionsand kicking us out is not fair on us.”“Sister-in-law, It is also fair that she gets punishment for marrying an unworthy man into the Leinhart family,” Melissa’s mother said back then she faced Lord Leinhart.“Father, now that the position of the CEO is now empty, can Melissa begin to work there?” She shamelessly asked, causing everyone to be shocked with how direct she was with her request.Mia’s father, Mason and Melissa’s late father, Max were twins, but they were the greatest enemies of each other, their hate relationship transferred to their kids.“Why do you think your daughter is going to get it? Are the rest of us puppets?” One of Mia’s aunty, Lord Leinhart’s first daughter yelled.“We watched the youngest adult in this house take it, now you want the second youngest to take it, while we rot in our old positions right?” Another of Lord Leinhart’s daughters added.“If you add this energy to your own positions in the company instead of fighting, I am sure, we would have no competitors. We only managed to stay afloat because of Mia and her parents.”“That is because you made the bosses.” His daughter retorted“Okay then. I want to see which one of you can beat their records, then.” Lord Leinhart said, then he thought of the right task to give them.“The position is open to anyone who can get us a deal with the starfall group. The new company that is going to begin investing billions of dollars into a potential company. Anyone that can get it will be the next CEO.” Lord Leinhart declared.“I have something to say.” Logan raised his hand before he moved close to where Mia was sitting. “Whta is my wife, Mia is the first to land the deal with the starfall group, will she get her position back as the CEO?”The family went silent and they turned to Lord Leinhart waiting for his answer.“Yes,” Lord Leinhart sneered. “She is a member of the family after all." he added.A smile formed on Mia’s face. “Thank you for the opportunity, grandpa," She said to her grandpa“I will be sure to get the deal and take my position from these scavengers. I haven’t even left the room, they already have thoughts of taking my place when I have not been dismissed for up to a day.” She thought to herself.“I will work hard in getting the deal for our family. The LH group will definitely get the deal.’ Mia assured her grandfather.(NB: LH Group is the Leinhart group :)“How sure are you that you will get the deal? The Starfall groups don't give contracts to strangers, they don't even speak to people from other companies without giving them an invite. How do you intend to bag a deal from them?” Melissa scoffed.She was so sure that Mia wasn’t going to beat her this time. Deep down in her heart, she was happy that she wouldn't have to pay so much money trying to hinder her cousin.The last time she tried to spread a fake scandal about Mia, she spent a lot of money and yet Mia was able to get out of the scandal without hurting the family’s image.Which caused her to spend a million dollars to cover the source of the scandal, even the amount she had spent, Mia knew she was the one behind it.“You are also going to attempt to get the deal, so we will both find our ways around it.” Mia replied, wondering why the Starfall group was so tight.It was true that the true owners of the Starfall group kept an anonymous profile and their general manager was very hard to meet.The company was inarguably one of the fastest growing companies in the country and their success rate on every project they take on is always a hundred percent success. That is probably why Lord Leinahet wanted a deal from them.They must have denied him the access to meet the Chairman of the Starfall group and he wanted to get a deal from them at cost. He threw the task at his family because they are all desperate to get the deal.Melissa adjusted in her seat. “Well the general manager there is my boyfriend. You can assume that this project is something I've gotten.” She boasted then she faced her grandfather. “Entrust this to me, grandpa. I will bring the contract to you.”Mia’s face turned pale, when she heard her cousin’s words. Melissa was more than two steps ahead of her. She had connections with the Starfall’s group number one staff.The famous Robert Gu. He was a rich man but she didn’t know that he was the boyfriend that often spoiled her cousin with numerous gifts.“Miss Mia Leinhart, ah should I sayMrs Mia Frost now that you are married.” Melissa mocked. “Does your husband know anyone in Starfall group?”Mia’s parents wore a look of disappointment on their faces“How could he possibly know anyone there?” Melissa’s mom laughed. “Even the lowly staff of the Starfall group won’t relate with a lowlife like him.”They wanted Mia to feel so embarrassed after she managed to keep her head up when Lord Leinhart removed her as the CEO.“I know who the CEO of Starfall is.” Logan declared.“Hahaha.” Melissa laughed out loud. “Look here, Mr nobody, do you think just anyone knows the insides of Starfall group? Even families as strong as the Leinhart family do not have so much connection when it comes to that company. Who can nobody like you know?”“Dear Cousin, your husband is so delusional, i din;t expect that your taste in men was this poor, I am disappointed in you,” She mocked Mia. “You should have picked up a few things from me in the past. You won’t have ended up with a useless, nameless man.”“If not for your boyfriend, I am sure you won’t know anyone in that company. Don’t act like you have already won this. Nothing has been finalized yet.” Mia’s mum came to her daughter's defense. She knew her daughter wasn’t a woman of many words and would not like to respond to everything her cousin says. She took her side but she was still angry that her daughter got married to a nobody.“Aunty, it is pretty obvious that I will win this, you should persuade your daughter to
Mia felt remorseful, she already felt bad enough that her life changed overnight and a reckless decision of hers, she had not even had the time to process the whole situation. Melissa, who was watching the whole situation from afar, walked up to them and faked a smile.“I hate to do this but we are family. What can a family do but help each other in times of trouble.” Melissa swung an old bunch of keys in her handShe was happy that Lord Leinhart had taken the car from Mia, she also loved the car and was trying to get it from the company but they sold it to Mia instead.Now was the chance for her to have it to herself.“Will you get to the point and stop beating around the bush?” Mia growled at her, knowing her cousin was up to mischievous acts. The last person she would trust was Melosaa.Every time Melissa tried to be nice to her it always ended up as a bad thing.“Xalm down cousin, I am trying to be good to you. After all you have been good to me in the past, this is a minor issue
“There is no problem, Let’s go to the Starfall company, it is past their lunch time right?” Logan asked the driver.“Er..” The driver looked at his wristwatch. “Yes sir.”“Okay!”“What are you having for lunch this afternoon? Remember that doctor said you cannot skip your meals so that your injuries can heal fast," The driver was concerned for his boss because he knew how picky he gets when it comes to eating.“I will just have the regular from that restaurant near my home after I finish up my business at Starfall group. Let's get going.” Logan answered.Following his boss’s instruction, the driver started the car and zoomed off to the Starfall group in the heart of the city.. Logan rested his back and started wondering how he was able to perform well in bed that night, he even slept off without waking up till the day broke.Another part of him wondered if Mia had noticed the multiple scars he had on his body due to the nature of his work. His thoughts made him want to have a conver
“I have seen many animals like you here so many times, it is high time we taught one of you a lesson so another animal like you won’t walk in here feeling important.” The head of the guards.“Imagine some like him saying he is here to see our CEO. How about you just look into some famous magazine instead of embarrassing yourself here.” All the guards laughed at the comment that the head of the guards made.The door of the elevator opened, a beautiful young lady emerged and walked directly to where the guards were standing with Logan. “What do you think you are doing!?” She yelled at the guards who held Logan down roughly.Hannah is the CEO of Starfall group whom Logan has given call to and ordered to come right away.She pushed them away from him, terrified of Logan’s wrath. If they got on his bad side, he could take all of them down with just an order.“Good afternoon, madam CEO,” The head of the guards said and all of them bowed down to her.“How exactly did you train your staff, H
Hannah walked to her table and put a call through her secretary. “Hello, tell the general manager to come to my office right away.” She ordered before dropping the call.“I will speak to the general manager right now and ask about the issue,” she said as she walked back to seat opposite Logan. “This will be resolved in no time.”She toyed with her fingers nervously because she feared that the allegations might be true. Not only the manager’s job will be at stake but her own job too.Robert Gu walked into the office after knocking and he was asked to come in.“Good morning ma’am. How was you...?” He stopped in his tracks as soon as he noticed Logan sitting in the middle of the office.The chair he sat on was the special chair that the CEO often had told him that it belonged to the heir of the company.Shock gripped him as he was surprised to see him there.“What are you doing? Sitting there?” Robert asked rudely. “Do you know you are not supposed to sit there? Even the CEO doesn’t sit
Mason Leinhart was really annoyed with his daughter, all his wife, he had never done anything to prompt his father to kick him out of the house.“Honey, have you called your best friend ? Tell him we are coming to spend a few days at his place. Till we resolve this issue at hand.” Mia's mother told her husband.“I already tried calling him but he didn’t pick up, he must have heard about the change in power. In the past, if I called him once even if he was sick he would pick up immediately.” Mason complained.“I have also called my sister to let us stay at the Villa but she said her husband is trying to strike a deal with Lord Leinhart so we need to stay away from them for a while so that the deal doesn’t get called off.” his wife replied.She continued to complain bitterly, “How could they do this to us? After All we did to support their company in the past, is this how they are supposed to treat us? We haven’t spent up to twenty hours outside the Leinhart Villa.”Mia sighed as her p
The next day, just as her father had instructed, she rented a car and drove down to the Starfall group . She knew that luck wasn’t on her side and the odds were not in her Favour.Melissa’s boyfriend works there so she is well connected already but her own husband said he knew someone there.A part of her really wanted to trust him seeing how he played superhero the previous day but the business woman in her knew it was not okay to put total trust into verbal promises.As she got to the front of the door, she said a word of prayer silently in her heart then she summoned courage to get down from the car.The situation she met there was quite different from what she had expected in the first place.Mia got into a busy lobby and she was confused about where to go. A newbie staff in a company like this will need a map to get around.The company was too times bigger than her own company and the interior designs reeked of elegance and money.“The Architects did a badass job.” She thought to
The Leinhart family gathered in the family lounge, waiting for Lord Leinhart to arrive, Mia too was running late. Her father was strung to get worried about her.She was taking too long, he feared that she didn’t want to return home because of some bad news. “Where is your daughter? She left the home before I even woke up this morning. What in the world is she up to?”“If father arrives before her, let’s stall for some time, you may scold her later,” Mason managed to convince his wife.Lord Leinhart walked in and they all stood up to bow before him. “Good evening, you may have your seat.”Mia’s mum was the first to speak, “father-in-law, you must have missed us seeing how you can quickly invite us to your family meeting.”She didn’t have the intention of speaking but she was going to protect her daughter at all cost. Mia will definitely get yelled at if they waited a long time before she showed up.Even if she was late for a good Her words brushed Lord Leinhart’ ego and how she call
It had been months since Logan and Mia had time to truly relax. Logan’s responsibilities at his family’s company had multiplied as he guided it toward new heights, while Mia was immersed in her work with the non-profit organization and preparing for medical school. Despite their busy lives, they made sure to spend precious moments together, late-night dinners, quiet walks, and shared laughter, but those moments felt all too fleeting.Logan’s parents, Charles and Evelyn, noticed the strain on both their son and his wife. They’d come to adore Mia, who had blended seamlessly into the family with her warmth, strength, and kindness. Even Mia’s parents and grandfather saw the need for Logan and Mia to recharge. That’s when the idea sparked between the two families during a casual afternoon tea: a surprise trip for Logan and Mia, a retreat where they could unwind, reconnect, and indulge in some long-overdue relaxation.Working together, the parents crafted the perfect plan. They chose a ch
As Yuki took his first steps away from the agency, a whirlwind of mixed emotions swept over him. Years of dedication and relentless training had defined his life, shaping him into one of the agency's most skilled operatives. However, after everything that had happened, especially the danger his close friends and allies faced, he realized he wanted a life beyond the shadows. The long nights spent looking over his shoulder, the constant need for vigilance, and the weight of secrets had finally pushed him to seek a new beginning.Logan, understanding Yuki’s silent turmoil, didn’t hesitate to support his decision. On Yuki’s last day at the agency, Logan met him for a quiet lunch at their favorite little bistro downtown. The two men sat across from each other, each one keenly aware of the new phase ahead. Logan, now fully entrenched in leading his family’s company, and Yuki, ready to step into a world he barely recognized but deeply craved. As their plates were cleared, Logan handed Yuki
The atmosphere in the grand Leinhart mansion had shifted, a quiet tension settling into every corner as Lord Leinhart’s health waned. He had been the pillar of their family, guiding them through turbulent times with a firm yet caring hand. Now, his movements were slower, and his powerful voice often softened with an underlying fatigue that didn’t go unnoticed by those closest to him. His children and grandchildren had tried to pretend everything was as it had always been, but they couldn’t ignore the lingering fear that he might be preparing to say his final goodbyes.One afternoon, Lord Leinhart summoned his family to the study. It was a room filled with memories of past achievements, marked by framed accolades and family portraits hanging on the walls. The room was intimate yet regal, his presence radiating an authority that had commanded respect for decades. As family members trickled in, the atmosphere grew tense. Mia, Melissa, and other key family members waited, each wondering
Logan’s transition from the agency to the corporate world wasn’t without challenges. His father, Charles Frost, had always emphasized the importance of leadership and responsibility, and after the recent turbulence with the agency and the betrayal he’d faced, he finally understood the value of the stable legacy his father had worked so hard to build. Reluctantly at first, Logan accepted his father’s insistence to take the reins as the permanent president of the family company, but soon he was pouring his energy and determination into every project, every strategy, and every partnership. Charles had seen in Logan a vision that was ambitious and future-driven, and he wanted that vigor to push their company into new frontiers. Logan took on the challenge with both respect for the legacy his father had created and a passion for redefining what they could achieve. Within months, Logan’s influence was apparent. He fostered partnerships with promising startups, invested in sustainable ene
Alexander Wang had been planning this moment for weeks, every detail mapped out with an intensity that reflected the depth of his feelings. It wasn’t just about the proposal, it was about redemption, healing, and a fresh start. He knew what Lydia, known in the spotlight as Suzy Vert, had been through. She had stood in the face of his family’s skepticism, with no shortage of harsh words or hurtful judgments. Despite it all, she’d never faltered, showing grace and strength that had ultimately won over Alexander’s heart even more than before.That evening, he led her to a quiet, lantern-lit pavilion on the family’s expansive estate. This wasn’t just any garden; it was the same place where she’d been met with icy receptions and side-eyed glances. He had chosen it deliberately. The blossoms were in full bloom, and the warm scent of jasmine floated in the air, adding a touch of magic to the setting. Lydia held her baby, bundled in soft blankets, as they walked. She had no idea what Alexa
Sam had always harbored the desire to leave his position as an agent, yearning for a life beyond the shadows and endless fieldwork. The agency’s lifestyle had worn on him, filling him with scars both physical and emotional. So when he handed in his resignation, he felt an unexpected mix of relief and anticipation, as if he were finally stepping into the life he had been waiting for. Logan had been supportive, congratulating him with a genuine smile and a handshake that held unspoken gratitude. After everything they’d been through, Logan knew how much Sam deserved this next chapter.Not long after, Sam was contacted by Logan’s father, Chairman Frost, with an opportunity he couldn’t refuse. Chairman Frost had taken notice of Sam’s loyalty, and he was impressed by the integrity Sam had shown throughout his years as an agent. Besides, he was like his own son now.As a reward, Chairman Frost extended an offer that aligned perfectly with Sam’s aspirations, a position as president of on
Melissa had never imagined her life would come to this moment, a second chance. As she stepped out of jail, the sky looked a little brighter, the air felt fresher, and for the first time, she felt the weight of her choices lift, just a little. A special pardon had been granted, and rather than relief, a wave of determination washed over her. She couldn’t erase the mistakes she’d made, but she could make sure her future was different. This was her opportunity to rewrite the narrative, and she wasn’t going to squander it.One of the conditions of her pardon was to complete a rehabilitation program. At first, the idea of “rehabilitation” sounded restrictive, but the time in therapy opened her eyes in ways she hadn’t anticipated. She spent hours unpacking her resentments, her jealousy toward Mia, her need to prove herself, and the misguided sense of entitlement that had led her down a dark path. Bit by bit, she began to peel away layers of bitterness, acknowledging the pain and insecu
Charles Frost sat alone in his study, the dim light casting long shadows across the room. The weight of the secrets he carried weighed heavily on him, pressing down with each beat of his heart. His son, Logan, had no idea of the extent to which Charles had been aware of the memory loss conspiracy or the threats that came with it. Charles had watched quietly from the sidelines, keeping close tabs on the unfolding events, hoping that his silence was enough to keep his family safe. Though Logan had confronted the members of the panel and brought charges against them, Charles knew that the details went deeper than his son might have suspected. From the first time he’d heard whispers of a “memory-altering operation,” Charles had taken quiet but decisive action. He didn’t involve his wife, fearing the panic and worry it would stir. She cherished Logan, and the mere thought of such betrayal from those within their circle would devastate her. Charles was also relieved that Logan hadn’t
[These last ten chapters will cover how everyone moved on and a little bit of backstory]Mia closed the door to her office, pausing to take one last look around. After years of leading the LH Group, the spacious corner office, once filled with the bustling energy of meetings, conference calls, and late-night strategy sessions, felt strangely silent. She had always thought she’d grow old here, carrying on her family’s legacy. But somewhere along the way, the responsibilities, the corporate dealings, and the constant pressure had worn her down. Stepping back from her CEO position was a decision she hadn’t made lightly, but she knew in her heart it was the right one.The past few months have been transformative. Her near-death experience and the fallout with Melissa had led her to reassess her life and her priorities. She wanted a new purpose, one rooted not in corporate power, but in making a genuine difference. That’s what drew her to the idea of joining a non-profit organization fo
