Whenever something happened in the Larson family. The first person who called a meeting was the lady of the house

The woman who ruled with an iron fist. No one dared to defy her rules. Whenever she got angry everyone got burned

"Why aren't they vacating the building"

"W-well…lady Laura…we tried..we gave out notices to everyone, "the man sitting opposite his boss said nervously. His heart thumped painfully as he tried to keep calm. Peeking up, his knees turned weak at the sight of his boss. For a 40 years old women. She didn't look her age. Beauty with brains and a thirst for success. A perfect blend for a troublesome woman

Dressed in a white suit, a skirt reaching above her knees, and a coat with a white shirt inside. Rob had to say. His boss was extremely beautiful. Despite her angry resting face. She was a goddess. A gorgeous heart shaped the face of a model despite her age. Her voice was low and calm. She was every man's dream. Those beautiful hazel eyes drew everyone in. 

To the public, she was given horrible names. However, he didn't find anything wrong with his boss. Well except for her hot temper. 

Holding his cheek dramatically, Robert shook his head not wanting to say anything offensive

"I made this clear. I asked everyone to vacate those houses in a month!" the lady snapped, despite how calm she looked. Her sharp eyes could scare anyone. No matter how many years Robert had stayed working for Ms Laura. He still felt intimidated by her

"I did…I asked them to leave but…one of them is stubborn"Rob said showing his boss all the notices he gave. Unfortunately, one family was stubborn and didn't want to vacate the house. Laura's eyes narrowed. Taking notice, her eyes fixed on the words written

She trusted her people to do the needful, she specifically bought that kand so she could demolish and build something beneficial to her. 

"If…they refuse to vacate…then drag them out forcefully …" Laura said tossing the note back to his assistant and secretary. Rob swallowed hard. Sweat dripped from his forehead. He made it clear. He warned them to adhere to the rules. Adjusting his specs hanging on his nose. Rob waited for his boss to finish

"Bulldoze them out…destroy the house and make sure…you beat up whoever tries to stop you," Laura said word by word. Her voice was low and lethal. Rob nodded knowing full well his boss met what she said. Her expression wasn't so friendly

"And oh…if anyone tries to act smart…get them arrested right away" she added, this time smiling. Rob knew that sinister smile more than anyone. His lady was something else. A woman who made threats with a warm smile.

"Yes, my lady…and about…well"Rob nodded, however, there was something else. Handing Laura a black file. Robert waited for his boss to go through. With vivid eyes, Laura glanced at Rob before turning to the file

"It's urgent that you take a look…I chose to let you know before the board does"Rob added professionally, with each turn of the page. Laura's blood boiled. Her hands gripping the paper delicately her eyes darted Around

"Why am I finding out about this now?"Laura was unhappy. She didn't expect this to happen. Robert tried to speak, think of any excuse however his tongue was tied. How was he to say anything when it was Lady Laura's family involved

"I-i thought…well…"

"Out!"Laura's angry voice echoed throughout the study room. Her hand slammed on the table making Robert fall to his knees. Bowing his head and started pleading

"Please, Lady Laura…I didn't have the…I thought…please forgive"Rob pleaded for her job. He made a mistake. His boss never mixed business with personal affairs. He was wrong not to inform his boss when something serious happened

"Get out!"Laura ordered and the door burst open. Two large men in Black suits walked in. Rob knew he overstepped his boundaries

"Take him away" Laura ordered and the two men nodded and dragged Rob out of the office. The door closed, and Laura's eyes turned dark. She felt hot. Her body temperature was getting higher and there was nothing to cool her off. Stripping off her coat. Laura tossed it aside. Kicking off her shoes, she rose from the chair pushing it backwards

Burying her face in her palms, she didn't know what to do with her greedy family. From her mother to her 30 years old brother and 24 years old sister. These three had gone too far

"Not again" she muttered, reaching for her phone. This was getting out of hand. She just came back home after a long business trip to another country. Instead of resting,g, she was going to make a decision

"Lawyer Gael…my house now, "Laura said calmly as soon as her lawyer answered the call. She had no choice but to do this. 

Four days ago she left the country for something important and gave orders to the head servant. The woman she appointed to oversee the house knowing the people she kept might turn it into a warzone, asked the people close to her to watch her family closely knowing they would do something bizarre in her absence and yes, they went ahead and did more harm than good. 

Slamming the phone back on the table. Laura knew what she had to do to stop all the unnecessary drama.

Getting out of the study room, Laura decided to take a quick shower before the lawyer arrived. In the meantime, she would wait for Rob to deal with the problem with the houses. She needed to start her project of building something she always wanted

The resident she chose was a good one. The location was better. She already awarded the contract to a well-known construction company to do the work thoroughly. However with the reports she received. She was likely to kill someone if they dared cross her. If tomorrow passed and the family still refused to vacate. Then she would have no choice but get all of them arrested and jailed for life

"How dare they?" she muttered and kicked off her skirt and wrapped a towel around her body. Flipping her hair off her back and tied it in a bun. She prepared to take a hot bubble bath and soothe her aching body.

    Laura and Nathan sat at the intimate table, nestled in the corner of their favorite Italian bistro. The soft glow of candlelight reflected in Laura's eyes as she lifted her wine glass, toasting the man sitting across from her. He smiled, a smile that reached his eyes, and Laura's heart fluttered. “This is great,” Laura said, smiling calmly, looking at Nathan sitting across from her. She felt a sense of security. “Not what I planned. But I hope you like it,” Nathan whispered and took a sip of his wine. Laura glanced around the place and nodded.“It's fine…as long as you're here…everything is special,” she grabbed his hand on the table. Nathan stared at her for a while and smiled.“I promise to always be here…no matter what?” He said, hoping Laura would trust him since they have been married for a long time.

    Nathan's eyes narrowed into slits as Dean made his way around the table. The four men had left at Nathan's order. With graceful movements, Dean cheekily sat down and crossed his legs and slammed a file on the table. The entire time, Nathan was watching in anticipation. “You should why I'm here,” Dean said and lazily glanced up at Nathan. Of course, Nathan didn't know, and he didn't care. Both men were enemies. The fact that Dean dared to harass Laura made Nathan's expression darken.“This isn't the time or place…or are you here for more beatings,” Nathan retorted cheekily, and he saw Dean's eyes flash with rage but soon composed himself. “My dad doesn't know what he's done…very soon you'll lead this company to bankruptcy,” Dean remarked while tapping his fingers on the table. There was silence on Nathan's part, but soon his lips quivered upwards into a smirk. He adjusted comfortably in his chair and let out a chuckle.“It is too hard to accept…that your old man trusts me more than…y

    Nathan was not surprised by Carter's behavior. He expected as much. However, he didn't let it get to him. He was the boss hence he took matters into his own hands."Are you going to let them insult you," Robert said when Nathan was busy loading up the materials. After the men insulted him, Nathan didn't say a word but simply left and put on a new working suit."Some things are better left like that…I won't die, will I?" Nathan said breathlessly while picking up some bags of cement, Robert who was wiping sweat from his forehead frowned. The man was indeed a bull, so stubborn. From what he noticed, Nathan hated begging people. But Robert didn't see the reason why he decided to start working. "Well, those damned men are busy laughing…I'm sure this is a trap they set for you…they know you can't work alone," Robert remarked and started helping Nathan with everything. Nathan didn't reply to Robert's statement but concentrated on his work."At the end of the day…I'm the boss…aren't I?" Na

He hated it when people said bad things about his wife.“Is that why you acted like a barbarian in front of the executives,” Laura asked and pressed on his injuries so hard that Nathan cried out in pain.“Woman!” He muttered, feeling the little sharp sting, Laura frowned even more and took clean cotton to clean out the blood.“Bernardo's men will hold this against you…they'll try certainly to find faults, and you just gave them an excuse to crucify you,” Laura remarked more seriously. She knew how those men were. They were thirsty for power. Bernardo handing everything to Nathan was a hard blow to their dignity. It was obvious they were investigating how to dethrone him.“I don't care, just know this,” Nathan whispered and reached for Laura's chin.

    Nathan was uncomfortable as Bernardo introduced him to his acquaintances. He didn't need such things. He was just an ordinary employee, so why was Bernardo making it into a big deal?“He's the future, I trust him,” Bernardo said with a smile while his friends clicked champagne glasses with Nathan.

The sales lady smiled warmly and gestured for the other female employees to bring more.“We have more in stock…these came in yesterday and the material is rich and comfortable,” the sales lady explained as she showed Laura more tuxedos and suits. Laura nodded while touching the clothes and had to say, the fabric was good.“This is a slim fit with a blazer…it can be worn in any weather,” the woman added while showing Laura more. By now, the entire private room was filled with new, expensive tuxedos and suits.“I like this one,” Laura raised a white one, it was pure white and lively.

    Nathan and Robert reached the construction site, which was located on the outskirts of the city. The sun was at its full peak.Nathan stepped out of the car and put on his sunglasses and scanned the place.“So employees seemed to be slacking,” Robert said as soon as he joined Nathan, and both stood leaning against the car as they watched the building. Nathan was told about the magnificent building being constructed. According to Bernardo, it was the company's biggest project, which cost millions, if he wasn't mistaken.It wasn't a mall that Nathan saw. It was too gigantic to be a mall, he guessed a resort, but then again he dropped the idea.“Shall we have a look,” Nathan said, and proceeded down the path leading to what he guessed was the main entrance? Robert adjusted his specs and followed suit. Immediately, they were about to reach the entrance. Some men in work suits came out, Nathan Immediately came to a halt as he watched as the men lined up in front of him.“Good day, so you m
