Monalisa's hands fell by her side, she looked at him intently through the mirror, trying to gauge his reaction.

"How do you know my full name?" She asked, her voice shaky.

Christian turned in the swivel chair and faced her, seeing that she was already shaking from her hair down to her foot.

"Who are you?" She asked, moving backward, her hands went to the cell phone in her apron. "Don't do that, please, I want to talk, that's all." He said.

Monalisa shook her head, apparently, she wasn't sure, "Talk about?" She asked and at the same time pointed to his head, "You don't need a haircut, do you? You came here to hurt me!" She snapped and grabbed a mannequin head, throwing it at him in one fluid motion.

Chris had not been expecting the lady to be violent, he did not move out of the way fast enough and the doll hit him square in the face, he felt excruciating pain in his nose and quickly grabbed it. He was bleeding.

"Oh, my!" She exclaimed as she saw the blood, "What have you made me

    Monalisa was stunned, she could still not believe that the stranger in her cubicle wanted to clear her debt, it was surreal. "I don't believe you, you don't even know how much I owe." She said, "I don't need to know, I can see that you need the money," Chris replied, and he knew there wasn't much that the heiress would owe anyways, judging from her apartment and her work, unless she was a junk - which she didn't look like - then she couldn't be in more debt than she was worth - and she clearly wasn't worth much at the moment. "I'm in a lot of debt, you have no idea." She said, her eyes cast down. "I'll have it sorted out, all you have to do is go to California with me." He repeated. "If I have your word that you'll clear up my debt, then I'll pack my bags and go to California with you." She said, Chris sighed, he knew that she didn't trust him and he couldn't even blame her. He pulled out his platinum card and handed it to her. "Where did you get this from?" She asked, surprise

    The next day, Christian and Monalisa showed up at the court quite early but Monalisa remained in the car. Christian did not want to show his card too early, and of course, he did not want to make the woman uncomfortable, she was afraid that someone could still recognize her. And Christian did not doubt that she had the most peculiar features, a strong nose, and high cheekbones, and her redhead did not make her any less conspicuous. He suspected that the moment she got out of the car, she would be shining like the firefly in the room. Christian could tell that she was still scared, no matter how much he tried to assure her, Monalisa was still very frightened of what the Duke family could do to her; they knew that she had returned. As Christian arrived at the court that morning, he could see that some people were already gathered on the porch. He could see the media team had arrived, some of them eager to ask him questions about the Duke family. "No comments," he muttered to a certa

    Stanley and Anna stood up, they were both astonished at the sight of Monalisa. "Oh my god," Anneliese whispered, her hands going to her bosom. “I can't believe my eyes," Stanley said. Although he did not exactly know the heiress personally, he'd seen enough pictures of her well he was trying to manipulate the will. All the records in the family showed that she was no longer a part of the Duke family. After her disappearance several years ago, she was unable to be reached for a long time - not like anyone was particularly looking for her. From all the records, Stanley was assured that she would not be returning to the family, at least not shortly. So his shock at the sight of her was epic. "This is impossible," he whispered back to Anna who was beside him. Monalisa walked down to the witnessed stand, her face expressionless. "What is she doing here?" Anna barked, unable to help herself. She could not stand the sight of the woman much less allow her to jeopardize her case. "You

    The entire court was surprised at the sudden appearance of the lady. She was Japanese, and her round, beady eyes, and oblong face were not that hard to place. Stanley rose from his seat, his eyes bulging out of his head and giving him an ugly look. He was surprised to see the Chinese lady and the two children that trailed her. "How---what, I mean--what are you doing here?" He questioned. The Japanese lady glared at him without replying and then turned to Anna who was right beside him, her hands clutching Stanley's wrist. "Who is this and what is she talking about?' Anneliese asked. She was too surprised at the sudden interference to be upset. By her calculations - their calculations actually - they should have been walking out of the courtroom already, with Christian no longer a part of the Duke Empire. "I don't--I don't know," Stanley stammered but immediately the Japanese woman swore at him in a native language and pointed at him angrily. it was clear that she was unable to e

    A few days after the court case, Christian Robinson was seated at his office, proudly still retaining his seat in the Duke family. Christian had made new policies in the company and completely kicked Stanley out after compensating him for his investment, he also made sure that his ex-wife was not a part of the company again, she could only partner with them for certain deals since she was a bonafide member of the Duke family. Ephraim did not show up for many days, he was embarrassed to find out that another scheme to take Christian down had proved abortive. He resigned to fate and accepted the percentage that was still standing - after all, he had not burnt bridges like his niece did. Christian smiled as he recalled that all the strange man had said in the court was coming to pass. Stanley had a lot to lose and he could not let go of his wife, he virtually begged her before the court and annulled the fake marriage he had with Anna. The press was having a field day investigating th

    Potter stood on the front porch step of the Robinson company, his eyes cold, he was staring straight out into space, his chin high, his hands trembling but he had shoved it into his pocket, trying to make sure that no one noticed he was nervous. "This just might be your last day in the Robinson company, I hope you enjoyed the seat while it lasted," Hogan said to the old man as he stepped out of the limousine and walked up the staircase. His crew, a fellow corrupt member of the table, Gideon was right beside him. Although the man did not speak, it was obvious that he too was glad Potter was about to be kicked out, they both wore smirks on their faces. "Cat caught your phone?" Hogan teased as the old man simply watched him quietly, he did not reply to anything he said. "I guess failure has a way of making people speechless," he said laughing, and then walked past him into the building, Gideon following suit. Potter was almost shaking in his shoes, he was wary of the announcement th

    "Christian?!" Hogan asked incredulously, he could not believe his ears. "That's what I said," Sonya snapped and looked at him closely, "Do you have a problem with that?" Hogan looked like he was ready to talk, but he looked around the table and noticed that everyone else was not going to oppose the crazy lady. "You might want to think twice before saying anything, I'm not sure that I'm in the mood to listen to shenanigans, especially when it can add nothing to our company!" She added and immediately, Hogan shut his mouth and sat, although his face was still red with anger. "Honestly, I don't care how many of you don't agree with this choice, but that's the only answer," she said and then looked closely at Hogan and said, "Unless, someone who thinks they are better than he is, can over promise to bring the family out of this mess," she said."We won't even know of our capabilities if we don't trust ourselves to even give it a try, I'm sure we can do better." Hogan said and another

    Christian looked at the old man, he was looking fine that morning, with a suit and a tie that marched his shoes. He also had a smile on his face, something he hadn't seen since the day he handed the seat of CEO of the Robinson family to him. It was as if a heavy load was mounted on his shoulders and all he wanted to do was escape from the pressure. "News from the Jupiter?" Christian asked, unable to believe his ears, "Is this another threat or warning that you should leave the CEO seat?" He asked, his eyes blazing. He was getting tired of the intimidation that Potter had to constantly face at the hands of the Jupiter and other members of the board. He'd have to intervene soon, he decided. "Give me some time, I will make it clear that you aren't a pushover, you have to exert your dominance over the company, Potter, power and seized, no one will give it to you on a platter," he said angrily but was shocked as the man simply stared at him with a soft smile on his lips. "There's someth

    Sonya couldn't believe her eyes, she gasped and that was how she fell into the orbit who was right behind her. One of them caught her swiftly and everyone quickly called for the company doctor. Chris remained calm. She was just in shock and would no doubt be revived with a little air and water. He could only imagine what it felt like to be thrown down after such years in power. "Where have you been, son?" Pa Pete asked and Julius only smiled. He was a spitting image of his twin, Evans Robinson and he didn't look like the years had treated him badly at all. Some of the men on the table who knew that their hands were stained and they'd been working with Sonya to condemn Christian, all looked down in shame because they could face him or Julius. "Now that you're back, what will be the fate of the executive board?" One of them mustered the courage to ask. But that wasn't really what he meant and everyone could tell. He was trying to find out what Julius would do to them that had gotten

    Evans was a little shaky as the man took them to the inner recess of the tunnel and it became dark. Christian could still remember the way to Orton and he certainly could tell that it wasn't the same route they were being taken. "What's going on? Aren't we meeting with Orton anymore?" He asked and the man simply looked at them without saying anything. Christian swallowed nervously but quietly followed him until they got to a part of the tunnel where the light became brighter and they could see a glass room in the distance. Right through the glass sat an old man at a desk, Orton. "While I still breathe," Evans said as he entered the glass cave. "I never thought I'd see you after so many years, I could swear you vowed never to see the Robinson family again." Orton looked at them quietly and then offered them both the double-seated couch, asking if they needed a strong Irish coffee. "We'll be needing more than a cup of coffee from you," Evans replied with a serious face. He pulled ou

    Evans had a plan and that plan was foolproof - or so they both believed. Right there in the living room, Christian showed the token to Evans and after he stared at it in awe, he said it would take them right to Berlin. They arrived at the small town the next day. Evans was in the front seat and Christian was in the driver's seat. His face was twisted in an ugly frown. "I told you to let Potter drive us, he's more mature on the wheel, we almost had an accident on the way here, I hate to think what will happen as we return," Evans said as he stepped out of the vehicle. "I hate this place, I could almost swear nothing would ever bring me back here," he spat angrily. Evans laughed at him, "Never say never, my son, life can be a rollercoaster sometimes," he said. Christian wiped at his head, a bead of perspiration had formed from the warm air. He pulled off his sunglasses and stared at the small pub that still stood in the distance. Karen was still in business and that only meant one t

    It was four days after the legendary meeting at the Robinson lobby. Christian hadn't shown up at the company for that long. It made Jupiter happy that one thing she'd hoped for had worked out - Christian was too embarrassed to come back out. That fateful afternoon, Christian was at the Robinson estate after such a long time. If there was ever going to be a time he needed Evans' help, it was then. Arriving at the door, it was Melissa who welcomed him in and he nodded at her mutely and crossed the threshold. "It's been a long time since I last saw you, Christian," Melissa said as she ushered him in. Christian didn't say anything still. He didn't want to talk to her, he was in too sore a mood too. "I know what...how it went last time was not ideal. I know you trusted me with...well, I disappointed you and tried to cause a rift between you and Evans, I'm sorry," she said. Christian again simply nodded. Melissa sighed, she looked remorseful. She was dressed in a sheer green gown and shaw

    Sonya did not look so confident anymore, her weak bones trembled and she quickly grabbed onto the desk for support. Christian still wore a smirk on his face as his grandfather, Pa Pete looked warily at the document on the desk."You got the deal?" He asked, his tone disbelieving. Christian did not reply, at least not verbally, he remained standing with a smile on his face. "This is ridiculous!" Sonya yelled, "There is no way this boy could secure a deal with Otec, there is also no way in hell that he knows Orton Berlin," she snapped. Christian dipped his hands into his breast pocket and retrieved the token that Orton had given to him, he did not bother handing it to her but simply slammed it on the table. With shaky wrinkled hands, Sonya picked up the token, she turned pale, her eyes wide in shock. "But how! I have been dying to meet this man all my life, how could you get the Supreme token?" Sonya asked, still in disbelief. "You are not the only one that can weasel your way into p

    Sonya took the flowers and had half the mind to toss it in his face but she had to reign in her temper. She instead snatched it up aggressively and tossed it at one of the Orbits who held it like it burned. "What do you have to say concerning the challenge you called, Christian? Are you having a change of heart?" She asked and immediately one of the board members said loudly, "He can't do that! The entire board knows about it and we won't allow such cowardice!" The man snapped. "Who said anything about backing out?" Christian asked and the man began to stammer foolishly before sitting down. Jupiter was pleased with the way they all treated Chris, everyone was attacking him. "Will we all let him speak?" Pete snapped, his voice rising above the others. Christian rose and nodded at the roses he'd just gifted Sonya, "I picked those out myself, it's a shame you won't even appreciate it," he said and Sonya rolled her eyes, "I didn't recall asking you for any flowers, Chris, last I checke

    Pa Pete was hesitant to begin the proceedings of the meeting and everyone on the table noticed, especially Chris who was just right beside him.Sonya must have noticed too because she smiled and said mockingly, "Are your feet getting heavier for you, Pa Pete? Perhaps it's not just your grandson that needs replacing, you too might be getting a little too old for that seat." Pete ignored her and looked at Christian who calmly nodded at him, a silent approval to commence the meeting. There was no need to wait, it wouldn't change the outcome of the meeting anyway. The orbits were right behind Jupiter, all six of them stood like rods, stuff, unyielding, with their hands crossed. Pete looked at them scornfully and then cleared his throat a little too loud. "Is there something you have to say? We don't have all day, Pete." Sonya said, her lips still bearing the same smile she'd exited the vehicle with that morning. "I think we all know what I'm about to say," Pete said, looking at member

    Hope is a formidable force, even a single ray can light up the darkest abyss. Christian Robinson could attest to this as he woke up that morning, feeling a lot better than he'd slept. He had a feeling that the world was aligning right where it ought to be and he was at the helm of it all - where he'd always wanted. "Sir, your suit just arrived," his servant bowed as he entered the room. Christian hadn't heard him knock but he was sure he had, he'd no doubt been too lost in thought to hear. "Thank you, I'll be right out." He replied and the man nodded as he left. He looked again at the mirror and smirked, his crisp white shirt was tucked beautifully into his black trousers, and his shoe just a little shiny. He'd called back his servants the previous evening just as he'd gotten that token from Berlin. He had a feeling his life was about to change for good, he had a gut feeling. Christian left the room and took the suit from the servant as he got to his car - he'd decided he was dri

    The exit of the tunnel led to a small boutique that was on the outskirts of town, close to where the train station was. As he climbed up to the stairwell and pushed the door open, he noticed that no one seemed interested in him even though they'd seen him crawl out of the ground. The receptionist at the desk simply looked at him blankly as he walked out the door and Christian figured that the establishment belonged to Orton, a way of making the tunnel he'd made. It was a brilliant idea, there was no way someone could guess that there was an entire world down there, an entire company. Chris could not get to his car that morning, he'd barely been able to get home in time for a change of outfit before he headed down to Otec - again. This was his second time parked outside the gigantic building and he didn't fail to marvel at the beauty of it all. He sighed as he pulled out the proposal from his dashboard and clutched the token that Orton had given him firmly in his grip. Coming down
