The deputy manager complied immediately and led her down a series of hallways to the CFO’s office. When they got to the CFO’s office, the deputy manager gestured toward the door. Daniella pushed it open without hesitation and stepped inside with a kind of confidence as if she already owned the space.

Bryan, the chief financial officer, was seated at his desk, reviewing a stack of reports. He looked up in surprise when Daniella entered and stood immediately, offering her a polite smile. "Mrs. Daniella," he greeted warmly. "It’s an honor to see you here. I've been trying to reach your husband but his number was not going through. Anyway, What brings you to our company , and into my office?"

Daniella returned the smile with a cool nod. "Point of correction, I’m not here as Mrs. Daniella." She replied. "I’m here as the incoming CEO of this company."

Bryan’s smile faltered slightly. "Incoming CEO?" He repeated. "I wasn’t informed about any changes to leadership. When did this happen,

    They were still talking when Desmond walked in with Daniella, holding hands like couples."Wow! My son and my potential daughter-in-law is here already! They look like a perfect match from heaven." Desmond's mother stepped forward and embraces her son."Desmond!" Anabel called. "How can you cheat on me?"He turned his attention to Anabel. "I don't understand. What are you talking about?""Do you want to deny it? Don't even try to. I called you this afternoon to share a good news with you, only to find out that you are cheating on me. I guess the husband snatcher picked up the call and left it so I could listen to her sick moans.""I've warned you to desist from calling my potential daughter-in-law a husband snatcher!" Desmond's mother intervened. "What good news do you have for him other than telling him that you found another sex style that will make you pregnant.""Son." She turned to Desmond.

    "Mother, Do you know why Desmond is hesitating to divorce Anabel? I thought he would divorce her without a second thought. She's barren and unproductive." Daniella said in disgust."Yes, but I think Desmond believed she was blessed with good luck. Ever since he married her, things have been going well. He has achieved so many things easier and without stress.""I thought he picked her from the slum. How could he believe it was because of her? What if it's a coincidence?""I've tried to convince him, but he's been stubborn. He loved her, and I hate it. I don't know if she charmed my son.""Desmond, I can't stay with that woman. I will forgive you for cheating on me, but I won't tolerate you bringing her in this house." Anabel spoke up when Desmond walked on."The last time I checked, this is my house. I'm the man of the house, and I say what happens. Daniella is staying, whether you like it or not. She's carrying my child.""Then what happens to our marriage? I can't share my man with a

    "Who are you calling?" Desmond asked."Why are you asking me who I'm calling? I'm no longer your wife. Who I'm calling is none of your business.""She must be calling her poor friends." Bella mocked."Mind how you talk to me, Bella. I'm never your mate. Though I don't blame you. I blame myself for reducing myself so low that you can talk to me anyhow you want. If not for the fact that I married your brother, you are not qualified to talk to me. People like you run errands for me.""Stop blabbing. It won't help you. You are leaving, and you are not coming back." Bella waved a mocking goodbye as Anabel made her way to leave with a small bag."Don't come back begging, Anabel. I won't listen to you. You have the privilege to stay and be our house help, other than going out to perish. All of us know that you don't have anywhere to go. I'm giving you a chance." Anabel heard Desmond speak from behind. She paused and twirled her head towards him. "The last thing I will do is to become your mai

    "Take me to the best boutique. I need some new clothes." Anabel said just as she entered the car. The driver drove off without talking. He knew the best boutique in the city.In less than twenty minutes, they were there. They parked in the parking lot, and she came down."I will go inside by myself. I will call if I need any help." Anabel said before walking inside. The boutique is meant for the rich. A common person cannot afford the least collections in the boutique.Anabel got interested in one of the gowns and called the sales lady to get it from her."The gown is over there." She pointed at the gown. "I need it. Get it for me."The sales lady looked up and saw the cloth she was pointing at. It was one of the most expensive collections. She stared at Anabel and shook her head."Are you sure you know the cloth you are pointing at?" The sales lady asked."I'm not having an eye problem. Get the dress for me." Anabel replied."I'm sorry, I don't want to waste my energy. I cannot get it

    The next day, Anabel logged into the company's dashboard and input all her details on the page of newly employed janitor. She didn't bother to change her name or anything. None of the employees, both high or minor, knew who she is. Her father has not introduced her to the public. Only the senior manager could identify her. She will be visiting the company as a janitor in disguise. She believed she would be able to fish out some offenders as a janitor.She entered a taxi and headed to the company. The company's main building loomed before her as she entered the main gate. She approached the entrance, took a deep breath, and stepped inside.She walked up to the female receptionist. "Good morning, ma'am. My name is Anabel. I'm a new employee.""Over there. You see that lady?" The receptionist pointed at a woman at the other end. "She's the recruiter. She will take care of you.""Thank you very much." She turned and walked up to the recruiter. "Good morning, ma'am.""Good morning, dear." T

For you, Desmond, you are far, very far from getting the contract.""Anabel, the supervisor is waiting." The young lady alerted her."Anyway, I don't even have your time. I need to go and start my work." Anabel said and followed the lady."This will be your first and last day of working here." Anabel heard Daniella ranting behind her back and ignored it."Let's forget about her and go. People are already looking at you." Desmond cautioned Daniella and pulled her to follow him."I will tell the senior manager to fire her. Who does she think she is?" Daniella mumbled."Calm down. Let's go." Desmond managed to pet her do

    "Yes." The senior manager answered. "The CEO will be involved. I can't change the policy without his approval. The CEO will review the contract and determine the best course of action.""How long will this take?""I will schedule a meeting with the CEO. I can't tell when you will receive a response.""This is becoming complicated. All because of Anabel?""I understand your concern, Desmond, but we must follow protocol. I will keep you informed."With that, the meeting concluded, leaving Desmond and Daniella uncertain about the contract.As they left the office, Desmond mumbled, "I wonder what kind of connection Anabel has with the senior manager. Why must he require Anabel's signature? I'm confused.""What else, if not that she's sleeping with him? She must have used her body to bag the contract for you. Can't you see it?"

    Her eyes darted to another wall immediately, where a second portrait hung. This one was of her and Desmond in their wedding dress. The image depicted them standing close together, Daniella in her exquisite white gown and Desmond in a sharp black suit. He was smiling warmly at the camera as he had his arm wrapped around her waist. The sight of the wedding photo stirred a mix of emotions within Daniella. She was annoyed and confused. She wasn't expecting to see that. "Why is her portrait still here? Does it mean he still loves her?" Daniella muttered under her breath. She turned sharply to face the deputy manager. "Why did he have the picture of his ex-wife in his office? He forgot to remove them?" she demanded, pointing at the portraits.The deputy manager wasn't surprised at her reaction. Any woman would react that way. He himself didn't know why Desmond left it. All he knew was that Desmond likes it."I don't know why he didn't remove them. All I know is that he's okay with it. I th

    "Mrs. Daniella, with all due respect, the CEO’s office is a secure area. I cannot, and will not, grant access without explicit approval from Mr. Desmond himself." "There is no difference between me and the CEO. She's my husband. I am giving you a direct order, and I expect it to be followed without question or hesitation." She said, but that didn't change the deputy manager's mind. "Ma’am, you may be the CEO’s wife, but as of now, Desmond is still in charge. Until I hear otherwise from him directly, I cannot break protocol. My responsibility is to follow the rules, not bend them based on assumptions about the future." The deputy manager said, and Daniella couldn't help but laugh, shaking her head as if she couldn’t believe what she was hearing. "Assumptions? Do you think this is some kind of joke? Let me tell you, I'm already the owner of the company. Tomorrow is just the day he will complete the signing and hand everything over to me." "I understand what you are saying, Mrs

    Meanwhile, Desmond was enjoying his favorite food at home. His mom has cooked his favorite, and they surrounded the table, smiling and eating. "Mom, you have outdone yourself again." Desmond said with a contented sigh as he reached for another piece of chicken. Each bite brought more smiles to his face. "This is exactly what I needed right now. Thank you so much for making this." "Anything for you, my son. Things haven’t been easy for you lately, so I wanted you to have something to lift your spirits. Your favorite food always helps." She said, and Desmond chuckled softly and nodded in agreement. "I’m glad you like it. For Anabel, I'm assuring you that you will have her back." She added. "I trust you." He smiled. "Yeah, I'm ready to do anything that will make you happy. Your happiness is all that matters to me." "What about me? mom." Bella frowned. "You don't care that I'm not yet married." "I do care, my daughter. You are a very beautiful lady. I want a good son-in-law that

    The deputy manager's eyes widened in shock as he realized that Daniella was dead serious about kicking Kane out of the company. He took a step forward and raised his hands in a placating gesture as he tried to reason with her. "Mrs. Daniella, please, you need to reconsider. I thought you were joking, but I can see you are serious. Removing Kane shouldn't be an option at all. It will affect not just the department but the entire company. This is not a decision to be taken lightly." He paused, taking a deep breath, as he tried to think of more reasons so she could understand. "Kane has been with the company for a short time, but he has shown how talented he is. He has a wealth of experience and knowledge in programming that would be difficult to replace. Losing him would be a significant blow to our operations, and I'm not sure we are prepared to deal with the fallout. Your husband, the CEO, hired him by himself. He employed him for a reason, which he has proven enough. We valued his

    The room went silent. Everyone was surprised. At this point, they knew they were all in trouble if she eventually became the CEO. Kane stared at the broken remains of his phone. He never dreamt of having such a bad day. The employees around him remained silent. They looked scared and surprised. Mr. Barnard, meanwhile, stood smugly to the side. He had his arms crossed as though he had already won. He knew that what she did was bad, but since he wasn't affected, he was satisfied. "First, I don't care who you are. You are going to buy a brand new phone for me. Secondly, I’m not leaving, not until the CEO comes and explains himself. He’s the one who hired me, and only he has the right to kick me out." Kane said but Daniella only smiled. "It won’t change anything, Kane. Don’t you understand? By tomorrow, I will be taking over this company. I will be the new boss, and my decisions will stand. Your days here are already over. You can pick up the pieces of your phone and leave." "That ma

    "That’s not true, and you know it! I was the one who stayed up all night working on the system. You left, leaving me here all alone." Kane said, but unfortunately for him, no one could stand up for him. Mr. Barnard and Kane were the last persons to remain in the office. No one knew the person who slept and the one who stayed behind. This morning , they came to work and met both of them in the office and also learned that everything has been fixed. "Kane, let’s not make this more embarrassing for yourself. The truth is, I’m the one who restored the system functionality. I’ve been monitoring the situation closely, and it was my intervention that resolved the issue. You are new here, and clearly, you know you are not even qualified to handle something like that. You are just here because the CEO employed you." "That’s a lie!" Kane shot back in frustration. "I was employed here because you couldn't handle all the tasks. I've saved your ass a few times, and you know it. Yesterday, you

  • Pregnant Billionaire Heiress Gave Birth To Twins   Who is lying?

    Kane stood up slowly to defend himself. "I think there has been a misunderstanding here." He began. "I didn't know when I slept off. Besides, I wasn’t sleeping because I’m lazy. I’ve been working all night to restore the system after it was attacked by hackers. I finished fixing it very early this morning and must have dozed off." He finished, but Daniella crossed her arms to show she was unimpressed or even buying his stories."Do you really expect me to believe that excuse? Sleeping while work is going on is unacceptable, no matter how you try to spin it. Your incompetence is very clear, and you are done here.""I don't think so. This company needs me here to function properly. Mr. Desmond needs me. You can't just fire me like this. I stressed myself to restore things to order, and you want to pay me back by kicking me out? That's ruthless.""Do you want to tell me you are better than everyone here? Just pack your personal belongings and leave. I won't repeat myself. Leave when you

    Daniella seemed entirely unfazed by the attention. That was what she was expecting. She love the way people stared at her. In her mind, she was already the CEO, and these employees were her subjects.The whispers grew louder as she continued down the hallway. "Isn’t that Mrs. Daniella?" one worker murmured to a colleague, trying to hide his voice behind his hand. "Why is she here?" "I thought she was just the CEO’s lover." Another worker replied quietly. "Why is she walking around like she owns the place?" Daniella overheard some of their conversations as she passed by and smirked to herself. She was enjoying the subtle power of being at the center of attention. It was clear that Daniella’s unexpected arrival had sent ripples through the company. Even at that, she remained entirely focused on her mission. To assert herself and make her presence felt. For her, every gaze was a silent acknowledgment of the authority she believed was already hers. Tomorrow, once Desmond signed t
