The viper stood up and walked around the table, looking at their lifeless bodies. She felt no pity or remorse, only satisfaction. She had eliminated her rivals and enemies, and now she was the sole ruler of the empire. She had achieved her ultimate goal, and no one could stop her. She was the queen of snakes, and she had just bitten the heads off the other vipers.The Viper stood up and looked at the scene with satisfaction, she had eliminated all her rivals and secured her power. She turned to Paul, who looked at her with admiration and fear. She said, "Don't worry, my son. You are safe with me. You are the only one I love, the only one I trust. You are the heir of the Mitch family, and together, we will rule the state. Come, let us go. We have much to do."She took his hand and walked out of the dining hall, leaving behind the corpses of her family. She was the Viper, and she had struck again, she poured petrol over the mansion lit up a match stick, and burned it to the ground.T
Sophia had heard the news from one of their servants, who had rushed into the study with a pale and trembling face. He had told her father that there had been an accident on the road, that their car had skidded on the ice and crashed into a tree, the servant had told Mr Benedict that they were all dead.She couldn’t believe what she was hearing, and then a storm of grief swarmed in piercing the depth of her soul, yet she couldn’t scream or shout, that emotion struggled to show but she was shattered inside, she just stood there numb, she had wanted to see her father, to hug him and comfort him and be comforted by him, but he had locked himself in his room, refusing to see anyone. He became a cold and distant man thereafter, who barely spoke to her or looked at her. He had buried himself in his work, trying to forget his pain.Sophia had felt alone and abandoned. She had no one to talk to, no one to love, no one to love her. She had only her books and her chessboard, which had becom
Sophia had worked hard to build her own company, to prove to her father and the world that she didn't need Paul Mitch or anyone else to regain their family honor or wealth, She had poured all her energy and passion into her business, creating innovative products and services that earned her respect and admiration in the industry. She had become a self-made woman, a leader, a visionary.But she had also become lonely.She had no friends, no family, no love in her life. She had sacrificed everything for her career, and she had no regrets. But sometimes, she wondered if there was more to life than work. Sometimes, she wished she had someone to share her joys and sorrows, someone to support her and challenge her, someone to make her feel alive.That someone was Jackson.She had met him on her first day at her new office, where he worked as a software engineer, He had greeted her with a warm smile and a firm handshake, and she had felt a spark of attraction. He was handsome, charming, c
Sophia dreaded that her company was failing, and her marriage was looming, Sophia knew if she told her father the situation of her company he would have no reason to tolerate her anymore. He had already made it clear that he expected her to sell her company and marry Paul as soon as she turned twenty one. He had warned her that if she refused, it would mean death to all of them, as the Mitch were ruthless.Sophia couldn't bear the thought of losing her company, her independence, and her dignity. She couldn't imagine living with Paul, a man who she despised ,She couldn't accept her father's ultimatum, a choice that would ruin her life, but she knew she had to do it , she wouldn’t want to see her family in ruins and her father dead, her plan originally was to build her company well and use its wealth to fund military contractors for when the Mitch came to attack she would be able to defend her family, but for now her wealth isn’t that big to fund such a large army to fight the Viper an
Sophia finished her speech to Paul and waited for his response. She hoped that he would be sympathetic, that he would be understanding, but Paul requested her to sleep with him first, “to test the waters before we get married” he said, “you’re a pig” Sophia snapped, she stood up and left, ever since then Paul would send messages to her feigning remorse for his action but Sophia didn’t buy it she knew who he was and it was exactly the way he acted, but Paul didn’t give up.One day Sophia was busy typing on her laptop when she heard a knock on her office door. She looked up and saw Paul standing there, holding a bouquet of roses. Her heart sank. She had hoped he would leave her alone after she left with him at the restaurant two weeks ago, but he had been calling and texting her non-stop, begging for another chance."Paul, what are you doing here?" she asked, trying to sound calm."Hi, Sophia. I came to see you. I miss you so much. Please, let's talk. I brought you these flowers. They
Along the corridors of Saint Richard hospital, strode a woman with a reputation of ruthlessness, she came to check up on her son who was beaten mercilessly, she was the viper AKA Madeline Mitch.She had heard the news of Paul's condition from one of her men, she had been furious, she had ordered her men to bring Paul to the hospital, where she would keep an eye on him, she left her mansion and drove to the hospital, accompanied by her guards. She had ignored the stares and whispers of the people in the lobby and walked straight to the elevator. She had pressed the button for the top floor, where the VIP rooms were located, she exited the elevator and strode down the corridor, walking to where her son lay. Guards were on both sides of her, ready to deliver an ending shot at anyone who dared to even glance at her presence. She arrived at the hospital room door and one of the men opened the door for her. She came inside.She saw Paul lying on the bed, hooked to various machines and t
Madeline hung up the phone and looked at her son. She said, "Don't worry, my son. I'll take care of this. I'll make her regret ever crossing us. I'll make her beg for mercy. I'll make her suffer. And then, I'll make her die. And then, I'll go after her father and his whole empire, I'll make them all pay. I'll make them all burn. I'll make them all disappear. No one messes with me, and lives to tell the tale."Madeline rose from the bed, feeling a surge of anger and betrayal. She had just seen the photos of her boyfriend, James, kissing another woman on the front page of a gossip magazine. She couldn't believe he would do this to her, after all they had been through together.She glanced at the two men who were standing guard outside her bedroom door. They were loyal to her, and she snapped at one of them, "Find everything you know about the so-called boyfriend, take my phone, and dial Benedict, I need to talk to him."The man nodded and quickly took the phone and dialed the number,
Sophia stared at her dad, shocked and scared, she couldn't believe what he was saying. He was trying to force her to do something she didn't want to do. He was trying to take away the only person who made her happy, he had no empathy for what happened to her, the father she once knew would go to war if anyone threatened his daughters. She shook her head and yelled, "I am done with you, this broken family or what’s left of it, and Paul and his bitch of a mother".“Slap!!!!!” in a blink of an eye, Sophia’s cheeks were greeted with the force of her father’s handsSophia felt a sharp pain on her cheek, followed by a ringing in her ears. She couldn't believe her dad had slapped her. He had never hit her before, never raised his hand against her, even though he had become distant from her mom and sister's death he had always been gentle, kind, loving. But now he was angry, furious, violent. He had lost his temper, lost his mind, lost his trust in her.She looked at him, her eyes wide wit
