Opportunity

Many years later

Alya sat on a chair in her office. Swirling from one position to another. Sarah, Alya's personal secretary and friend burst into the room.

"Ma'am, someone requests to see you. I told him we are not accepting orders but he will not listen to me," Sarah said, and before Alya could reply a young man in his early thirties entered the room.

He was a young handsome man. He was tall and lean. His dark hair was tousled, and his eyes were piercing blue. He had a charming smile, and his features were both striking and kind. He had the kind of look that made people turn their heads when they walked by, but there was something about him that was more than physical beauty. There was an aura of confidence and charisma that drew people in and made them want to be near him. His presence filled the room and his scent filled Alya and Sarah's nostrils.

From the moment he walked into the office, Alya's eyes were fixed on him. He looks familiar. Her brain clicked and she knew who he was. He is the popular Cade pecker. The eldest son of the Pecker family.

Pecker's family is one of the most influential Families in the whole town. Their picture is always on the town billboard and everyone in the town knows the Pecker family as they seem to be ruling the whole town. Pecker's family had been a prominent in the town for generations, and their influence was felt in every aspect of life. They were wealthy and powerful, but they also used their influence for good. They were generous with their time and money, and they were always working to make the town a better place. They respected and admired, and everyone knew that if you have the support of the family, you are set for life. But they also had their share of secrets and scandals, and there was always something simmering just below the surface.

"What can I do for you?" Alya asked Cade.

"My name is Cade Peckers. No need for further introduction as am sure you have heard of the Peckers family," Cade said a bit of arrogance in his voice.

"So what should I do with your name?" Alya asked looking at Cade in his eyes.

This is the first time someone has said that to him. His family is one of the most influential families In the whole town and by the mention of the name, every succumbed. Girls flock around him and he always has things according to his way and dictates because of his family but this lady seems not to care about his family.

He swept a good look over her. She sat on a chair, her long, dark hair framing her face. Her skin was smooth and unblemished, and her eyes were the color of the sea. She was graceful and poised, and yet there was a hint of vulnerability in her expression. She sat with the perfect posture, and her hands rested in her lap as if she were a queen on her throne. Cade could not help but feel a stirring of admiration, a desire to know more about this young lady.

He took a seat in front of her and said, "My name is Cade Pecker, and am in need of your service," Cade said. For the first time in his life, he became humble. He is always someone who stands tall and proud but some how in front of this unknown lady he felt humble.

"Am not sure what service I can offer to you. Am just a lowly person living in this country," Alya said starring at Cade. From the moment he had entered her office, she had known who he his, and to her, this was a perfect opportunity to make sure of Cade for her revenge purpose.

"He will not mind, will he?" She asked herself.

Ever since her parents were killed, she had vowed to take revenge on any person who knew about her parents' death. This she had been able to accomplish small out of it. She and been able to identify four of the killers and it remains the young boy among them. And for her to be able to identified the boy she needed the help of a very influential person in the town and Cade happened to arrive at the time.

"Do not say that," Cade said and continued, " I need you to help me design a particular cloth."

Alya smiled to herself. A perfect chance and a perfect opportunity to hook Cade and use his power for her Revenge.

"I do not think that will be possible," Alya replied.

"Why? No, please, I need this design," Cade pleaded. The very first time he had done something like that.

Alya saw desperation in his eyes. She knew he would go to any length to get what he wants so will she.

"As you know we have closed the accounts for this year and getting this design is hard," Alya replied looking into his eyes. She tried to make her words look hopeless as much as possible and she smiled to herself as she realized he was falling into her trap. She will make him think she is helping him.

Sadness clouds his face as he hears Alya's words. His shoulder had fallen, and his elbow rested on the table.

"Can you not do anything? I mean you are the CEO of this company and you are among one of the best fashion designers in the town. My friend has been anticipating for this dress?" Cade asked.

"I would have loved to help you but you gave me no choice. The material is one of the scarce materials in the town and the time frame for me to make this cloth is short," Alya replied.

Cade released a sigh.

"But... I will accept the order since you are Cade and seeing the way you are downcast hurt me to my deepest bone," Alya said with a smile. A smile appeared on Cade too.

Deep down, Alya knew Cade had become her puppet and she would use his power to find the last killer of her parents.
