Sasha’s POV~“Mr. Rex, why do your competitors go missing?”A man from the crowd yelled and Valentino acted like he had an important call and picked up his phone as he walked off the podium.I watched as some of the guards came over to the man who had made the remark about Valentino's competitors going missing and led him out of the hall.I took a glance at him and noticed he was the same journalist who had taken a beating earlier on. I tried to reason out why some people could choose to undertake a profession that puts them at the forefront of risk. I watched as he tried to speak out but was dazed and taken out unconscious to only God knows where.As much as I was not in complete agreement as to how Valentino ran his business, I wasn't going to mince my words in a room I wasn't invited into.He couldn't even read the mood in the room before playing superhero, now he wouldn't even be remembered as a hero in the least way.The master of the ceremony took the stage and began telling ta
Valentino's POVI heard the sounds as she pulled the trigger, one, two, three, and four bullets were shot each following the other.“She finally did, she's matured into a fine woman, the time that I like,” I said to myself as I relished in the pleasure of having Sasha send her father's murderer to the other side of life. Sasha's dad had been one of my most trusted soldiers, he had served me incredulously until one day.He had met a lady who wasn't Sasha's mum and her lifestyle drove him on a downward spiral. It was when he began revolving his life around this strange woman he had gotten into the habit of gambling and getting hooked on drugs. I never knew at first, I thought it was just one of those other nights that my men would ride the nights into the clouds of glory, taking turns raising their consciousness in their kinds of fun.I had placed him in charge of a mission to help me get confidential information from my competition and he was making headway at first.With the Intel h
Sasha's POVMy heart was in my mouth as I was seated face to face with death.This was the height of being Mrs. Valentino Rex. I was now used as a specimen in a dicey game and a man's life was the settling score.“I'm going to jail,” I screamed at Valentino as he stood there impassively.Valentino didn't seem to act like anything had just happened. He was like a doctor who had seen too many deaths in the hospital ward and wasn't moved any longer by deaths. “Say something. Don't just stand there looking at me this way,” I said, screaming at his face.Valentino responded to me in the most awkward manner I could imagine. He simply clapped his hands saying, “Bravo, nice shot you got there. Just a little more polishing and you'll be fine.”I was shocked as to how he responded to me. This man was a psycho. I married a man and now I will go to jail for my wrong decisions.“This wouldn't go down well. This won't end fine,” I muttered to myself. A little audible but not loud enough for someo
Xena's POV"That young man has eaten more than he can chew. It's time we taught him a lesson."I stood with my hands crossed together as I tapped my leg on the ground, facing my husband and making my remarks to him.I had told him about the words of Valentino Rex, who had made a clear threat at the destruction of the Britannia family, also known by their triad name "Satoshi Family."My husband, Chris, blinked his eyes as he pulled off his glasses and looked at me cautiously, as though taking off his glasses would make him hear me.I noticed the change in his gaze and how he looked pissed.While I remained quiet, the adopted son of the family, Dave, stood up and pointed at me as he said, "Why are you all bothered about that wrench, Valentino? Was it not Belinda who exposed our family to him by stooping so low to date that thing? Besides, she's the one who caused the ruckus last night. Don't—"As Dave wanted to make his next statement, I heard a loud sound and turned to see what was hap
Sasha's POVI woke up tired from the affairs of the night and remained weak on the bed, thinking about Valentino and all we had been through last night.I was finally fagged out and almost fell out of breath.I was about to close my eyes and surrender to the sleep that was calling my attention when I felt something lift my nightgown and touch my waist.I jumped out of bed and turned quickly to find out who was behind me.“Who is that?” I called out as I turned, looking for who it was. I got up from the bed in an attempt to head toward the door and turn on the light.Before I could make the next move, the figure grabbed my arms and dragged me backward.I tried to fight back, but the figure held me and I was unable to break free.I tried to fight back but he was too strong and his grip was firm. Once again, I tried to scream but the figure held my mouth, preventing me from uttering a word.I could tell it was a man but I couldn't tell who he was, I decided to act on the first thing tha
Sasha's POVToday was Dragon Corporation’s annual board meeting and I was supposed to attend it on my first day at work.I didn’t want to look too exotic, so I grabbed a simple white shirt, a brown skirt, and a simple shoe and put them on. I always wanted to be that humble boss who didn’t tramble on their subordinates and so I decided to look like one. It’s that kind of Steve Jobs feel I wanted to have on me. Also, I wouldn’t move along with any guards today so I could be super humble and down to earth. Well, let’s see how that pans out today. I stepped out of my room, walked down the stairs, attended to the greetings that were directed toward me, and walked forward without a dent of doubt that indeed today would be a fabulous day.I drove to the company early in the morning. As soon as I stopped and was ready to enter the building, the security guard stopped me."I'm sorry, Sasha. There's an order. You can't go in!""This company belongs to my husband and I have every right to go
Sasha’s POV“What if Valentino had placed me in charge of the main Dragon Corporation, what could I have faced?” I thought to myself. I was only made head of the next subsidiary under Dragon Corporation which was Rex Corp., and here is what I am facing. Everyone was at a loss for words, shocked that I had brought Valentino to help.In the market, Valentino is omnipotent!All the shareholders and directors felt a kind of shuddering fear facing this young business tycoon, and now he stood in front of them, protecting the woman they ridiculed!Several directors and shareholders all smiled at Valentino."How did Valentino come to Rex Corp? He’s not been here in five years," someone asked, forcing a smile."Hey, you, yes, you right there? Why do you all act like you own Rex Corp?" Valentino looked coldly at the shareholders and directors."Well, we all have shares," they said in a chorused manner."Yes, you have shares, but Sasha seems to have more shares than you. Why don't you let Sasha
Sasha’s POV"Yes, thank you," I said, bowing my head and repeating my gratitude.When the porridge was served, I focused on eating it.Valentino advised me on several things to be mindful of, emphasizing that I shouldn't appear weak in the company. He suggested I adopt a more professional look, mentioning that black clothes convey strength."High heels are a woman's weapon. If you go to the company in casual clothes and flat shoes, you'll naturally be looked down upon. Even if you don't feel like a strong woman inside, at least make yourself look like one. Your appearance can intimidate people first," he kept advising.I listened carefully while drinking the porridge."I remember everything. I'll buy the right clothes tomorrow," I said.Valentino nodded."Well, I don't know much about the company. What should I do when I go there tomorrow?" I asked, looking at him for guidance.I felt clueless, like an idiot. I didn't know what to do once I was at the company."Set up your chairman'
