Nina

I walked into Alexander’s office with a sense of determination, I had finally decided to work against my family, but most especially against my sister May and Leo, that backstabbing cheater.

“Welcome Miss Nina, we’ve been expecting you”, the receptionist said as soon as she saw me.

“Right, this way Ma’am.” She led me into an elevator and pressed a button. Immediately she stepped back.

“Wait, you’re not coming", I said, confused.

“No ma’am, the boss likes his privacy, he specifically requests for you to be directed into his office as soon as you arrive”.

“B.. but how would I know his office”.

“It's not hard to miss, his office is on the entire top floor”. The elevator door closed.

The entire top floor, I was stunned, exactly how rich he said he was again, the elevator dinged its arrival and stepped out of it into a very huge office, my jaw dropped to the floor.

“ Ah, I see you’ve arrived Nina, glad you could make it”, Alexander said, looking so handsome in his suit, he looked so edible.

“Please tell me you don't run a cartel somewhere”

“I won’t”, he said and my eyes widened.

“Just kidding”.

But I wasn’t so sure, not with what I was seeing.

“So tell me Nina, what made up your mind for you, let me guess the family dinner didn’t go as planned ."

“How did you know”.

“I have my ways”.

“Family dinner was a mess. As usual, May got celebrated and I was criticized for being so incompetent, this time May went too far, she stole my design for a project I spent sleepless nights on and accused me of stealing my work from her, of course, no one believed me”.

“I believe you”, He said, and I raised my brows in disbelief, was he just saying that to please me?

“I’ve seen your designs, Nina, they’re unique works of art and I can recognize them even with my eyes closed”.

That was the nice thing someone has said to me all week

“Perhaps, there might be something I can do about it”.

“Really”,  I said skeptically.

“It’s the least I could do to show you my sincerity Nina, it is your work and you deserve the credits due”.

Right in front of me, he placed some calls and did some talking.

“That settles it then, I got us access to the event your client is holding in honor of the designs chosen”.

“How?”.

“An owner of the event owes me a favor which I cashed out on, hopefully, things would turn out in our favor”.

“It’s no use even if I attend the event it still doesn’t stop May from claiming the credits, I’ll only end up being embarrassed”.

“Have some faith Nina, who knows something might happen”, Alex said like he knew something I didn’t.

I sat down in the chair in front of me, a huge burden had finally been lifted off my chest, I was one hundred percent into this, May and Leo wouldn’t know what hit them.

“So what's the plan?” I asked, leaning forward.

“The plan is to divide and conquer and we’re going to start with this event coming up”.

Oh, now I can’t wait to see what happens next.

    NinaThe event was one of the biggest occasions I had ever seen, the organization by my family didn’t even come close and they were lavish. To be honest, I developed cold feet. Alexander had a hard time convincing me to attend this event, but I wasn’t so sure, what if they didn’t like me, if I somehow managed to embarrass myself like I always do, what if I’m not good enough. What if May wins? I was drowning in a bunch of what-ifs, but Alexander pulled me out of it.“Relax, you would do just great, I’ll be by your side, have no fear.”It was the only way I could summon the courage to attend. As we arrived at the party all eyes were on us, we made a stunning couple and I could feel the speculation in the air.“Are they dating?”.“What the hell is she doing with him?”.We mingled with the crowd having fun and laughing, but I could sense the tension beneath the surface, May was here somewhere probably staring daggers at me, and my family would be wondering what the hell was I doing here,

    May“We thought she was the hero all the while.”“Such treacherous scoundrel.I clenched tight against my dress. Those words were supposedly meant for Nina, but tables just turned; the gagged hands of that snorty bastard called Alexander. My eyes couldn’t leave him, and that Nina of a wench, my eyes couldn’t leave her, too.If ever I could have my way, I would crack bottles on the tables and make them lie on them. I looked around for my father, and there he was, glaring at me; disappointment smeared all over his face, and his eyes red and narrow.I sought for the restroom. That would be the only place where I could hide till the event is over. At least, it would be better to leave the event center after everyone had gone, that to hear them make further scorn of me.“Look, the earth hasn’t swallowed her.” someone was pointing at me with accusing chin and the other was all nods. Bastards! They were at my side and were all praises until someone turned the damn table.I headed for the rest

On a normal day, he would have pulled into our compound and proudly exchange pleasantries with my father and my mom, and cross his hand around my waist, but I guess tonight would have been the worst of his life if ever he dared step in.“Ma’am, I asked him to come in but he turned deaf ears,” the guard at the gate reported as I got to the gate. The fellow was well one of the gossips, it was on his face.“Get out of the way,” I ordered.The fellow stepped aside. No one ever quelled my access to the gates, and no one would ever do such, unless it’s father’s demand, but the good thing is, father doesn’t seem keen with my way about. He’s is rather more interested with that of his beloved daughter who just made mess of us tonight.Ewww. It’s super cold outside.

    Nina“You didn’t tell me you were going to shock the world tonight,” I was all over the award I received earlier. “I saw the shock on their face, my father, my step-mother, my step-sister, and Leo.”Alexander at the far end of the hall was busy. His cigar was lit and his lips puffed smoke in the air. Beside his seat was a side stool on which was nestled a glass of red wine, but his eyes were on the sofa where I sat“And my extended family, I didn’t just see the shock,” I went on. “They seemed to have known longer than my father realized that May has entirely nothing genuine to offer.”I rose from the seat and made to the shelf in the hall. It bore my books, the ones that had something about art, ranging from the records of DaVinci to that of other notable artists, but the ones I preferred most were works of world class jewelers who had so far been my greatest inspiration. I placed my award on the shelf and leaned it to kiss it.“The fight hasn’t started, you know,” Alexander quenched

The wordings reminded me of her. I tapped into it and read it out to Alexander’s hearing. Father wants me to attend a family lunch at our place, and the extended family would be there to dine with us. The supposed snakes and scorpions who I knew would bite and sting just May, not me.“Awesome,” Alexander was with the wheel. “Will you honor such?”I raised my brows. Why wouldn’t I honor a family invitation? Yes, we are clearly at war, but the war hasn’t found its way off from our family gate, though Alexander was involved because Leo was involved.“Of course, we should be there,” I looked at him, “Leo will be there with my stepsister.”Alexander chuckled and pulled into a nearby boutique.
