Chapter 10

Lucas's returns Mr. Brin with a Smile.

Mr. Brin Daolin stared at Lucas awkwardly as he had little suspicions that Lucas saw him.

Although Lucas acted losts to his looks.

So Brin Daolin didn't think much of it.

"Enough of this public Nuisance, how can you be so careless Ciara?" Madam Elina - Ciaras grandmother says as soon as she comes out ordering the rest of the family to get in.

The old vibrant lady enters the house back whilsts an appreciative Ciara leaves Brins and grabs Lucas by his wrists, before taking him into her family chambers, giving Lucas a room opposite hers.

She takes some time off and changes her clothes whilst Lucas does the same, using his powers outside her room, till she finally walks out of her room, looking more gorgeous than ever.

"I don't know how to thank you but please appreciate this room opposite mine, somehow I feel I was pushed by someone and somehow I feel it was as a result of my carelessness, so please accept this room so you can work even better protecting me." Ciara said, opening a nice looking room for Lucas, who smiled.

Lucas couldn't believe his eyes… The room was gorgeous and Exclusive.

Although he wondered if he should tell Ciara the truth or just spill the beans to her knowledge already about Brin Daolin.

"Sure, It's fine, I accept, it's a lovely looking room." Lucas replied to her.

"You're giving him a room next to yours, just because he saved your life? I mean isn't that too much?" Mr. Brin asked.

"Yeah, I feel my life might be in real danger and the only way for me to ensure that I don't fail my father is to keep a professional at his job closer to me, since I am not even safe in my own family house... I mean can you see the attitude everyone is giving me?" Ciara asked Brin.

"I'm fine with it." An Elderly voice Echoes from behind them and they all turned to stare at a pale face looking Elina.

Ciaras Grandmother.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to ma." Brin Bows in respect as Madam Elina stares at him.

"I trust you will do your job, the entire family members are waiting and you three are here... Let's go!" An energetic Madam Elina in her full aura says and they follow from behind her.

"I have an announcement to make, as it is really sad that evil government officials have decided to start freezing the individual shareholder accounts of our Company, Moran Enterprise." Madam Elina says as she takes her seat.

"They have a request for us to finish a project worth 30 trillion, a mega project my husband signed before his timely death." Madam Elina announces as everyone stares in fear at the amount.

They knew they weren't as rich as thirty trillion and wondered why their grandpa, Mr. Moran will sign such a wrecking deal.

"The contract is way higher than we can afford so we need an investor to do the job before we face wrecking damages." Madam Elina expresses her fear of what could happen.

"I got information that my shares have been frozen this morning and it is sad that this will keep spreading till even you... Ciara… Has her inheritance frozen, so we must act fast before it becomes a case of no return." Madam Elina explains.

"Therefore, I need a volunteer here... Any of my children or grandchildren who can get us an investor capable of doing the project we have... Will get hundred percent of my shares." Elina declares.

Having hundred percent of Madam Elina's shares for Ciara will mean that Ciara becomes a trilionaire, since she already had over five hundred billion dollars acquired through inheritance from her grandfather before he died.

"And I mean anyone, be it our family, friends and co-operative since this is a plain and public threat of a downfall to my husband's company by the evil state government, all help is appreciated." Madam Elina adds in disappointment.

"The government should not be making such moves if the Senate members of the states weren't using their powers illegally and I believe this is an attack by our enemies in government, so we need to prove them wrong by completing this contract, so they will be in debt to us as soon as possible." Madam Elina said as she slammed her palm over her table still worried.

"So which of you... Is willing to own almost half of Moran Enterprise?" She asked.

Surely, the grandchildren, which consists of a lot of males and a few females including Ciara, kept silent, before the entrance door opened.

"Greetings!" Mr. Sermon walks in.

"I couldn't help but overhear the heavy words which carried weight that you spoke… It said a lot about how really evil men despised late Mr. Moran and my family is here to help out." Mr. Sermon said, cleaning his eyes like he had tears.

"This is why the marriage between Brin and Ciara should be a sealed deal ever since so my father won't have problems helping out... Isn't it?... Younger brother?" Mr. Sermon said to his junior brother Mr. Brin, Who walked out of the crowd.

"Yes." He replies to his eldest brother with his eyes concentrated on Madam Elina.

"I am willing to work and ensure that I get an investor to work on your project, as long as you consider me family by Handing over Ciara to me as my wife and handing over your shares to me to manage too." Mr. Brin Daolin replies.

Lucas turns to look at Ciara.

She carried a frowned face and he slowly walked quietly till he was behind her.

He was taking his time to understand why Ciara carried a sad emotion whenever Brin Daolin mentioned marriage.

He wondered if she Didn't want the marriage even though she loved him.

"Are you okay Ciara?" Lucas whispers from behind her and she nodded a no.

"Why?" Lucas asked kindly again.

"I feel Brin has been forced into marrying me, he isn't what you think he is, there's a lot hidden no one knows." Ciara hints out.

"I love him but I feel if this isn't what he really wants then he shouldn't be induced into getting married to me, because I am sure that my marriage with him won't be good for the both of us." Ciara explains as Lucas stood shocked thinking more.

Mr. Brin Daolin been Forced?

Lucas had felt all these while that Brin wasn't being forced but an agent, set to destroy and crumble the family, especially since Mr. Brin attempted to kill Ciara.

This gave him clues on how to make Brin a weapon against the Daolin's.

"Ciara, if you aren't happy with their decisions, then walk out there and challenge him, refuse his proposal and help him beat the evil force behind him if you truly love him." Lucas whispers to Ciara and it indeed worked as she walked out.

"I am also a shareholder in this company and I request to bring an investor to retain the freedom that my Grandpa, Sir. Moran left for me!" Ciara fires back at her Grand mother - Elina who was ready to sacrifice anything for the Moran Enterprise.

"No, I don't think you should, especially since Brin happens to be my father's favourite…" Sermon replies to her.

"My father, Mr. Daolin will be able to talk to any of his strong and wealthy connections to get this done faster." Mr. Sermon Backs his brother who starred at Ciara in surprise that she came out too.

"Faster!" Madam Elina responded.

"I like that word fast… But I am not ready to lose any opportunity at this point, Mr. Brin Daolin... I will give you the next forty eight hours to prove yourself." Ciaras Grandmother replies to him.

"And as for you Ciara, ensure that you don't think, that I have rejected your request, but let my Son - In Law prove himself worthy to be your husband." Elina said.

"Worthy of What?" Ciara fires back.

The entire family were shocked at her courage to reply Madam Elina back but the more she looked at Lucas, was the more courage she got to speak out.

"I am a free woman, I am not a property you can trade off over someone's success, especially if I am not willing to!" Ciara said back to her grandma in tears.

Madam Elina who was about to sip on her traditional tea immediately throws it off.

"How dare you!?" She fires back.

Ciaras parents fell to their knees behind her and the rest of the family members looked down in fear in respect to Madam Elina.

Grandma Elina was feared whenever she gets angry since she was the opposite of their late Grandpa Moran, A man who was much jovial and easy to talk to.

"I will never disrespect my husband Ciara, but you need to realise that our family is about to crumble, all your grandfather built is about to be stolen by these evil men, so I must play chess even if you're one of my cards." Madam Elina replies a sad Ciara.

"These are my words." Elina said in tears.

"Grandma!" Ciara cries out.

"Dismissed!" Madam Elina Orders!
