It was another of such days,Xinya woke to the sounds of the housekeeper bustling around. She tuned around and looked at the time it was exactly 6:30 am so she got up,freshened up and changed into another outfit and went to accompany her in the kitchen.

Mrs. Bricks, an elderly woman in her 40's was preparing breakfast when Xinya walked in. 

 "Good morning Annie", She greeted lightly. Annie turned around as she responded with a smile. It was obvious how much love the elder woman had for Xinya as she had a huge smile on her face.

"Your father is in the dining room and it seems like he has something to tell you. Why don't you go and meet him now and come over later to see me? I'll have something for you by the time you come over"  Annie said as she stirred her pot. Xinya took a deep breath, She would love to ignore her father if she had the ability especially now that the man was so irritable as he was facing issues with his company.

She walked calmly to the Dining and silently watched the man who was reading the daily newspaper. Mr. James Lu, a 45- year-old CEO of a huge conglomerate which was ranked 24th in the country. He was a tall,buff,muscular man with a face which could still be called handsome, being one of the most influential men in his country he possessed an aura of power and could easily frighten people with his stare.

 "Good morning Dad" She finally greeted after dilly-dallying for some time.

"Good morning" came the voice of the man who never looked up for once as she walked around the dining table to sit in her position at the other side of the table. The maid Ella, served her a cup of coffee with milk instantly and she took a sip finally feeling awake that morning. The man on the other side of the table finally looked up and asked her what her plans for the day were. Xinya had just finished her entrance examination and was waiting for her admission letter into College and was expected to resume in about a month so she had some free time on her hand however, she was doubling as a part-timer in her father's company. She had been very good in Maths and Accounting so her Father had sent her to the accounts department as an intern. Not many knew that she was actually the heiress to the company as she had hidden her identity. She calmly reported her activities for the day which involved nothing but company activities. The man nodded and as an after thought included "Come back earlier for dinner" Xinya sat stunned for some seconds wondering why he suddenly included that clause. The man took a glance at her and finally added "We'd be having guests over for dinner". Xinya simply replied with a yes sir and waited for breakfast to get served.

As they began eating breakfast her father suddenly said "Xinya, I took out a loan from the bank and it's due now however the company cannot afford to pay back now so the only option is to borrow more funds from other sources". She nodded silently wondering why the man suddenly said those words. Finally she asked "Have you contacted anyone yet?" "Yes, quite a few" her father answered gruffly" But only the Mu's are willing to help" She released a breath she didn't know she was holding "That's good" Her heart tightened  for no reason as she heard " But on one condition"

"What" She shakily asked, dreading the reply "That you marry their only son" She looked up in shock wondering if the man in front of her was still her father. "But Father..." She murmured, hoping slightly for a chance to change his mind even though she knew it was impossible but she was cut off rather impatiently before she could complete her statement " I don't have a choice, it's either you marry him or I lose the company and I definitely cannot lose the company I worked my whole life to build. It will kill me, that much you know". Her silently tried to recall stuff she'd heard about the Mu's. The number one family in the country with ties spanning around the country. It was said that her mother and Mrs Mu had been best friends and that the woman had loved and pampered her as a child before her mother died. After her mother's death the other woman had tried to contact her but had slowly lost contact as her Father became busier and they finally moved to another city. She hadn't seen the older woman in more than 10 years but she remembered her son Mu Feng, an arrogant boy who had hated her for no reason and had always found ways to be cruel to her. She had always avoided him as she had an innate fear for him. She would do anything to avoid him. "The Mu's will be coming over for dinner tonight" Her father spoke again "You should make appropriate plans for it" She had wanted to retort bitterly when her father spoke up again

"Oh and this marriage was arranged by your mother and Mrs. Mu, so you should understand how important it was to her" Her mother, a sweet lady who had died when she was only six was someone who she would never reject and that much her father knew, conveniently using it to suppress her. She had silently finished her meal which is tasted like wax to her before getting up and clearing the plates away. Something she'd only do when she was alone. She'd been distracted even as she dressed up and got ready for work that day. She had even forgotten that she'd intended to see Annie before leaving and that Annie had promised her a treat. All on her mind was the thoughts of an unhappy marriage with a man she neither knew, understood nor loved. She had dreamt of a happy married life but at that moment those words seemed a big joke to her.

Xinya stumbled out of the house, into her car and to work on that day on autopilot mode. It wasn't until she got to the company park that she got a grip on her emotions, and entered the office with the usual smile, promising to keep her personal life on hold till she got back home.

A pretty good work. The author's ability to maintain her storyline along with some suspense and character relevance make it quite a piece.

    Xinya walked through the doors of Lu Corporation dressed in a classy black trouser suit, a pair of heels and a smile plastered over her face. As she walked in she soon became the topic of discussion across the reception since she had become one of the most controversial topics in the company. People could not fathom how a girl with seemingly no background could easily complete all the tasks assigned to her with no mistakes and how she always seemed to be classily dressed, even in nameless brands. A lot of people believed she was someone's mistress but there was no evidence to prove it and because of the fact that she had refused to date anyone regardless of who and the extreme politeness and coldness she seemed to exude she had earned the title of the ice queen yet somehow she never seemed to care.Nodding at the people who said a greeting to her, Xinya made her way to the accounts department, where she got blocked by Kira, an intern with the Finance department whi

    At the same time on the topmost floor of Lu Corporation, the CEO/Chairman, stared at his phone incredulously, he could not believe that the little girl who would quiver at his presence would oh so openly ignore him. To his surprise, she had dared hang up on him, something that has never happened in all 18 years of her life and for him in more than 20 years. He'd chuckled darkly, wondering if he was wrong. Calling his assistant into his office, he'd sent him to inquire on exactly what happened, after all, regardless of how he viewed his daughter, she was still the sole heir to his company. In less than 30 minutes, his assistant was back, sporting an incredulous look, he presented a file before his CEO and while the former was perusing the file, started telling him exactly what had happened in the company that morning. It was only then that James Lu realized that his daughter whom he had looked down on was an interesting girl, she was better than what he thought. He turned his attenti

Her name once buried under the dust along side thousands of others, had once again swept through the list in the space of a couple of hours, she'd made it into the top one thousand, her eyes lingered on the verification button besides her name. She didn't know it but at that moment her actions had caused a ripple in the Hacker world. She had jumped into the nine hundreds and still moving upwards. She smiled, wondering to herself if her father would let her back out of the marriage agreement if she filled in the gaps in finances and if she found him a good financial advisor. "If I handed him a few couple of millions, would he die of a heart attack"She wondered to herself"or would he accuse me of robbing a bank?" Xinya chuckled at her thoughts.

    Mu Feng raised his brows wondering exactly what the woman beside him planned to say. He watched as she walked pass him and out into the night. The lights formed a hallow around her making her look distinctly beautiful. He sighed, getting up and wondering to himself exactly what she planned to say. As soon as Mu Feng entered the garden he caught sight of Xinya who was leaning on a tree, a stem wound round her in her hand. She looked quite at ease and very different from the girl he'd seen the moment he'd entered the Lu's home. "What's up" A cold voice fell through Xinya looked up, her distracted thoughts interrupted, reminding her of the reason she stepped into the cold night. "Young Master Mu, I don't know how this engagement fell into place and I am really not interested in fulfilling it neither do I think that based on your attitude so far that you are interested.

She had promised her Dad that she would be able to get the money required to get the company back in track without the help of the Mus but instead of agreeing to call of the marriage, the man had told her that her marriage was a must. He had reiterated that while he wasn't extremely fond of her and while he hadn't spent much time on her, he still loved her and that the reason for her marriage was even more serious than company funds.

    It was currently 1:45pm. Lu Xinya walked into the boardroom. There were more than ten men already seated there. Four of them were minor share holders with no decision rights and who merely came to the board meetings to establish presence and fill up space. She ran through the information she had of the company in her head. Her father was the major share holder with 53% of the shares. Her uncle held the position of the second largest with 19%, she held third with 18%, The Mu's held 5% and the four shareholders there shared the remaining 5%. This made her father the major share holder with major decision making right especially since he could access the 37% held by this brother-in-law and his daughter. However with Lu Xinya turning 18, she gained access to managing both her own shares but the shares owned by her uncle by default since she was also her uncle's legal heir. She greeted the men and sat down on the seat reserved for the third largest share holder even though she co
