THE BATTLE FOR INHERITANCE

LIAM PETSON

AVERY PETSON

After dropping Liam at the family house. I decided to go back to the office to know what was happening in the industry concerning the copyright for the new movie we were planning to start.

I met the two employees who were sent to have a pep talk with the author looking a bit down as they both came out of my grandpa's office.

" I hope you got to convince her this time?". I asked with a wide smile on my face. I knew they couldn't convince her.

" She drove us out of her hotel and she swore to file a case against us if we ever came around. Not just anyone from the pixies industry" one of them said, avoiding my gaze.

" I warned you all that slamming wealth on her face just doesn't work on that lady at all". I said walking past them. I Know the kind of person my grandpa was, those two most definitely lost their jobs.

"Grandpa, Liam is back ". I announced it to my grandpa before taking a seat opposite him. He seemed really pissed, I know it was because he couldn't get what he wanted for the success of this industry. He wants this company to be well known amongst other companies that worked under pixie entertainment.

"That is good. I have a job for Liam and I know he would do a perfect job in that". He is planning on convincing Liam to persuade the author.

"Grandpa, let me do this myself". I pleaded, I don't know why he doesn't want to give the job to me despite all my pleading to take up a job that was rightfully mine.

"If he. Only if he fails would you take up the job" my grandpa said.duez that means I have to start praying that my brother doesn't get what belongs to me despite the fact that I know how desperate he is about showing his worth to this family, mostly my grandpa.

There has to be a way to get through to that author without paying her. I want her to willingly give me the job.

When I got back to my apartment the first thing I did was find out more about this author. I found her but she seemed to have removed all traces of her picture and had also shut down her internet accounts. She was only known as the author nothing more. That means my only main lead was seeing her one on one, that was the only way I could convince her of everything.

I would just have to wait and see if Liam is able to get her into signing all her story right to us.

MONALISA ANDERSON

The next few weeks went smoothly and my hotel was getting good customers. I was able to raise a lot from it ..I am really thankful to my parents for leaving this retirement home for me.

Sandra also came to spend the night once in a while. I always tried to pay her for her hard work, but she always rejected me. I really wish there was a way I can make it up to her.

I would only be able to make it up to her when I finally become a successful author. Just thinking about that made me remember those companies who were trying to get my stories as theirs. Selfish set of people.

I was cleaning the tables which I served my customers breakfast on when a very handsome man walked in. With his blonde hair and green orbs, he looked so breathtaking that I lost track of when he got up close to me.

"Miss Monalisa?". With those words I knew where exactly he was coming From.

" You are also an employee from the pixies industry?". I asked, feeling more angry at the fact that they still did not listen to my warnings and sent another employee to convince me. But apparently this one was handsome so I couldn't just tell him.

" Yes. But don't just push me out yet, let's at least have a heart to heart conversation". He pleaded. I stood still staring at his face before nodding and offering him a chair to sit on.

"Thank you for at least letting me sit". He began.

"Should I brew a cup of coffee?". I asked politely.

" Thank you for the offer but I am full right now. Let's just talk first, maybe on the way I can accept the tea". He said. I joined him on the table but he was still saying the same thing. Sell what I have left and lose my right to it. I stared at his handsome face regretting the fact that a handsome man like this could not even understand what I wanted.

"Is that what you want to discuss?". I asked myself to push him out.

" Yes. But is there something else I need to say?". He is just handsome but very dumb at the same time.

" Thank you for the offer. But I decline". I said standing up from my seat. His smile slowly turned into a frown.

"Why are you so pompous about this storyline? Do you Know how much my company is willing to offer for that little book of yours!". He said, this time his voice sounded more serious and harsh, like he had been holding in his real intentions.

"Poor ladies like you who have nothing, always prove to be so hard to get. You are a piece of work, I can't believe I was sent to convince someone like you!". He exclaimed, leaving before I could even do the needful, as he opened the door to walk out Sandra was also walking in. She hurried up to me smiling.

"That guy is so f*****g cute, don't tell me you just rejected to date him". She asked but all I did was roll my eyes and Walk back to my initial job.

"He is from that company". I said to Sandra or else she won't stop disturbing me.

"Wow, so they decided to tempt you this time around, do people are really serious about this?" Sandra said, still staring at the doorway . I know she was still drooling over that guy.

"Did you even get to Know his name". Sandra asked. Was she really that desperate to Know more about this guy?

"I did not Sandra. And stop drooling over a guy who doesn't even care if you exist or not." I was warned.

" He is just too perfect". She commented. She was right, everything about him was perfect but his brain was totally damaged.

"He is a psycho and has no dignity, is that a perfect man?" I asked.

" You are right, I just know he is a psycho. Or should we sue that company" Sandra asked. I looked at her sadly.

" I don't have enough money to pay a lawyer for a book I haven't made much from". I said

"Then what do we do? They seem to be so on to you and won't stop anytime soon" she said . Sandra was right. In no time I would have to accept them and do what they wanted. Or else they would still keep sending more, leaving me with no choice. I just hope I would have enough then to sue them and finally get the peace I yearn for.

LIAM PETSON

That girl dared to refuse me even before I could get started. I would show her what I am made of.

When I am finally given a second chance to prove myself. This poor brat is proving to be so difficult. What can I possibly do next, Avery can't just win yet, not when the game has just started.

I hate her..I would definitely go back there to show the kind of person I am in the most brutal way ever. I don't care if her story is what can bring our company back to the game and success it lost.

I walked towards my car angrily and stared at her hotel one last time. I would convince grandpa to pick someone else. This girl isn't worth the stress she is putting the whole company through. There are other novels that would do better than hers.

I still can't believe I lost as quickly as I began. The first job given to me to prove my worth was all scattered. I have to find another way to prove my worth to grandpa which doesn't include coming back to this trash it a lady. She is pretty but too strong minded and I don't like people like that, as I drove through the road the image of her face won't leave my mind. I would definitely visit that place again.
