AGAINST ALL ODDS.

Who is she ???

The female lead clutched her unconscious little brother in her trembling hands.Her breath ragged.His face was pale his small body frighteningly still.

"Who did this?"Her voice wavered, but her eyes but her eyes burned with rage.

The high ranking woman,elegantly dressed and excluding arrogance smirked."you should be grateful we didn't throw you out like the beggars you are."

The gathered employees smirked some exchanging amused glances while others avoided looking at the girl entirely.

She barely registered their cruelty.Her brother wasn't breathing.she shook him gently desperation clawing at her throat"Wake up...please."

A cruel voice cut through her panic"Look at her acting like she owns the place."

The womans eyes glinted with malice as she stepped closer,"Do you think making a scene will change anything?you and your filthy brother shouldn't have come here in the first place."

The female lead (liv Harper) grip tightened on her brother.The humiliation,the helplessness- it was suffocating.But she couldn't break down not when Milan needed her the most.

A sudden hash fell over the crowd.

The elevator door slid open with a quite chyme.A tall figure stepped out.

J.W.Dressed in a sharp,dark suit,his presence commanded the room instantly.He worked with effortless authority,his streiking feauture immpassive.His personal assistant trailed behind him hurridley listing his upcoming schedule.

He was headed for the exit.

The cruel woman ,sensing an opportunity to show off,rushed forward an exxagerated frown on her face."Sir we caught 2 filthy little thieves causing trouble .I was just handling it."

A murmor of agreement rippled through the crowd, though a few glances uneasily at the boy in the girls arm.

J.W barely spared them a glance."Then deal with them." he said coolly continuing towards the exit.

The female lead heart's sank.Of course to someone like him ,they were just pests.

The woman smikered turning back to the girl."You heard him,maybe we should teach you a proper lesson"

She raised her hand-

But before she could slap her a sudden shift in the air froze everyone.

J.W had turned.

For the first time he actually looked at them.

At the girl her eyes brimming with rage and unshed tears.Then he saw something ..something he had been looking for soo long.But what did he see in her??

Then he saw tge frail boy in her arms,his tiny chest barely moving.

His brows furrowed,just slightly .

A flicker of hesitation.

The crowd held its breath.

Would he walk away?Or will he do something no one expected?

"Don't!!" he said with a cold voice .

Making the atmosphere in the lobby to be electric,charged with a mix of fear and anticipation.Liv cradeled her unconscious brother her heart pounding as she scanned the faces around her,searching for a glimer of compassion.But all she found were cold stares and mocking smiles.

Andrea, the company's Senior executive,steeped forward,her heel clicking ominously against the marble floor.Her lips curled into a sneer as she looked down at liv.

"Thinking you can just waltz in here and cause a scene?"Andreas voice was laced with venom"pathetic"

Liv's eyes burned with unshed tears,but she refused to let them fall.She opened her mouth to retort,but the words got caught in her throat.

"Your highness what should we do with this rats?" she asked with a play full smirk on her face.

J.W 's gaze flickered to Liv and her brother,lingering for a moment longer than nessesary.With out a word he gestured to his body gusrds.

"Take the boy to the car,I'll deal with this personally."he ordered,his tone cold and authoritative.

The bodyguard moved swiftly gently lifting the unconscious child from livs arms.Liv's eyes widened in shock ,her body instinctively reaching out to hold on to his brother ,but a firm yet gentle hand stopped her.

Andrea's eyes twisting in confusion and jealousy.She steeped closer to J.W he voice trembling with desperation.

"Sir let me teach this insolent girl a lesson, she needs to understand her place."Andrea implored her eyes pleading.

J.W's gaze snapped to Andrea,his eyes narrowing with icy disdain

"Enough Andrea, Ur service is not required here,"He replied sharply, his words cutting through the air like knife.

Andrea recoiled as if struck,her face pailing.She opened her mouth to protest,but no sound came out.

Without another glance at Andrea,J.W grasped liv's arm.His grip firm but then oddly gentle.He guided her towards the exit his expression remaining stoic and unreadable.

The employees watched in stern silence. There eyes widened in disbelief.Whispers began to fipple through the crowd speculation and confusion evident in there hushed tone

Andrea stood frozen,her hands clenched into a fist at her sides.Her eyes burning with a mixture of humiliation and seethed jealousy, as she watched J.W lead liv away.Her mind rushed with questions .

"Why did he touch that brat?Who is she ? Does he know her? could it be no..no..no it can't!

She still believed that she was the only one who deserved to be with the C.E.O ...only she can measure up to him only she belonged in his heart nobody else.
