Miguel's POV" If you check in page two of the contract papers before you, everything you asked to facilitate this business transaction are all in there." I said with a calm tone as I looked at the three gentlemen that were sitting in front of me.One of the men whispered into the ear of the man sitting in their middle. Immediately the middle man picked up the pen and signed the paper." Congratulations Mr Martinez, I anticipate doing business with you." He said stretching his hand out for a handshake. I quickly locked my hands with his." You would not regret it for one day." I said confidence in my tone. Now, that is how to seal a contract legally. Being a CEO for the past two months has proven to be very stressful. I had made so many tough decisions, taken so many risk, made a few losses and bagged a lot of contract. People expected me to be like the former CEO, my father. They expected me to have to bribe people and companies into entering a contract with me. But where is the val

Isabel Cruz POVThe furious typing sound of the keyboard and the humming of the air conditioner were the only sound you could hear in the room. I was preparing the contract to be signed by my new investors. I couldn't believe how a company that I started just two years ago was already gaining popularity and trust from the masses. This was a feat that took my father years to achieve, but I did it in two years. I wish my parents could have been here to see this. Cruz group was currently ranking number ten in the top company list." Isabel!" Someone shouted my name getting me startled. My attention immediately diverted to the source of the shout." Gosh Talia you got me startled." I said breathing in relief. " I had been calling you for a while now." " I'm sorry I didn't hear you, I'm just trying to finish up this contracts before next week, how's everything with the company?" I had refused to show my face to the public, no one knows the face behind the owner of Cruz group not even my

Esmeralda's POVI jolted awake, my heart racing and pounding against my chest. I stared at the ceiling as I tried to figure out where I was. The last scene I recall was me being hit to one side of the road and blood trickling down my forehead. I pulled up myself trying to sit up when I felt a sharp pain on my head making me hiss in pain. I looked around the room I was in. This was definitely not my room in the Lawson mansion but everything in the room screamed luxury. " You are awake!" A girl who I did not notice was in the room exclaimed as she ran out the door. Few minutes later, the girl came in with a man who is probably in his sixties. The man had a smile on his face." How are you feeling?" He asked sending her a sympathetic look." I'm fine I guess but my head hurts a lot." I said hissing in pain as I tried to sit up again. This time the girl rushed to my side to help me." Talia go call the doctor." The man said to the girl before coming to my side. " You'll be fine child" he

Antonio's POVI and Elena sat on the chair as we kept staring in anticipation at my phone that laid on the table. Finally the shrill ringtone of the phone filled the room. I rushed to it swiping the answer button." Any report?" I asked frantically" She's dead." The reply made a smile curl at the corner of my lips. I hanged up with relief in my mind." What did he say?" Elena asked as she took a sip out of her wine glass." She's out of our lives forever, she's dead." I said making Elena's smile grow even wider, Esmeralda was dead.The next day was a good day for us as we twirled and danced, our laughter echoed through the walls of the room. We got dressed and ready to go to Lawson industries. I was dressed in a black suit and white shirt while Elena was dressed in black bodycon gown that showed off her curves." Are you ready to take charge baby?" Elena asked as she adjusted my tie right." I was born ready." We walked out of the house hand in hand feeling like the most powerful cou

Esmeralda's POV"What the hell just happened?" One of the men yelled out in rage and ran to the already dead man. The hole in his forehead was definitely drilled by a bullet,but no sound of gunshot was heard.The remaining three men had a mix of terror and confusion etched on their faces as they examined the body."How did this happen? Who did this?" One of them berated no one in particular,his eyes darting around to locate the culprit,but there was no one in the street, except for us.They began to eye each other suspiciously, thinking the culprit was amongst them. One of them brought out a gun from nowhere and pointed it at the rest. "Which one of you is responsible?" He queried."What are you doing,Pedro? Have you gone insane? We all saw what happened" One of them yelled in rage."The bullet came from the front and we were behind him" the second man chipped in,his voice shaking. "If you want to suspect anyone,it should be that woman. Who knows? Maybe she's one of the spies from her

Esmeralda's POV"Let me go!" I screamed in the dark night, banging the bodyguard's back with my fist,but it was pointless. The indifferent man carried me out of the mansion, straight outside the iron clad gate."Here you go" He threw me to the ground, causing me to land on my butt. "I'm sorry,madame,but I have to obey the boss's order." He apologized with a slight bow.I glared hard at him and snarled. "I'm your boss. You should listen to me.""I'm sorry,but that isn't the case right now. Please, pardon me" He said,his tone laced with sincerity as he turned to walk back into the mansion.I desperately wanted to call out to me for help,but the words were stuck in my throat. I could only watch as his silhouette disappeared. My eyes were too exhausted to release even a drop of tears. I felt an excruciating pain on my feet as I tried to get up on my feet. There was nothing I could do to get what I had lost back. I didn't even have the strength to fight again. I raised my gaze to the sky
