Introducing Jewel Pierce
Good morning Dad. I greeted with a wide smile
Good morning baby girl how are you and how was your night? he asked returning a warm smile at me I
Was splendid Dad!
Soo tell me what plans do you have for the year?
Nothing much Dad just business as always.
Business business business that's all you keep talking about. Don't I look old enough already?? Because if you ask me I want to start seeing my grandchildren ...he said looking worried. Dad com-on... I'm not yet interested in this marriage stuff and besides why would I need a man when I can get everything I want??
Jewel! He scolded... Dad honestly I don't want to rush things I'm okay with my life right now, I don't want to be stressed out, besides Dad you got married because of love. Don't you want your daughter to get married for the same purpose?? I asked him with a pout.
Of course I do ... he responds now feeling guilty... I'm his only child and he loves me a lot that's why I get away with everything that has to do with scolding. Look I love you jewel but I'm sorry to tell you this... I've fixed a date for you with a friend's son,so ... I'm warning you now don't do anything stupid. You may be the second richest in the world but you'll forever remain my daughter.
I can't believe this he set up a date for me?? who does that these days?? I stared at him blankly as I watched him threaten me again. Looks like I'm stuck. Well let's see how that bastard is going to cope around me,I bet he'd leave even before the date started.
Dad I'm off to my place it was nice spending the night over here but I'm crashing my mansion back. I stood up and turned around to leave and his voice halted me. Hold on...you sneaky lamb I've already warned you, unless you want me to be visiting you at your company regularly. Don't mess this up I have my eyes on you. He says trying to warn me. I know my Dad and I'm sure this is freaking serious than I thought, he's the only one I've got..I really want to make him happy but how can I do that when all the men approaching me are after my money,beauty and good s*x ? I stared at him and just answered... Yes Dad I promise I won't screw up I just hope he's as good as the word good
You have nothing to worry about,he said reassuring me with his usual warm smile.
I know she's a bossy one and I think he'll be the perfect match for her because my friend is also as helpless as I am.. I just hope things turn out well between them. I wish her mother was alive to help me out, it's so hard to raise a woman. I miss you Marie...he had the look of a longing husband who missed his wife so so much.
Bye Dad I sped off in my red sports car. I'm a rated top assassin, and the world's second billionaire. I don't give a f**k about anything all that matters to me is getting the job done. I don't have emotions when it comes to people,my Dad is my only weakness. I lost my Mom in a shoot out because she was trying to save me,I don't trust anyone.. I Walk alone and I thrive alone. I've been through hell and back. My Dad knows I'm his little angel but I'm worse than his imaginations. I prefer things stay that way I don't want to loose him.
I arrived the mansion in no time, and drive in . I parked the car at the garage and stepped out of it.
Good evening Mame..
Good evening Boss ..
Good evening..
I passed quietly without a word and went straight to my room. I have an elevator but I prefer taking the stairs,I see it as a way of keeping myself busy. I as I got in I took off my trousers, and my top.. it was still early so I decided to take a shower and head to the basement for training. I did just that. I wore a pare of jugings an inner wear , some gloves and I tied my hair up in a ponytail. I took the elevator and went to the basement. As I entered everyone started greeting. Good Morning "Fire Fly" . I passed without responding... I was in the mood to play so I asked... who's ready to have some fun ?? I pulled out my two babies, I'm obsessed with daggers. Everywhere went dead silent . I can't believe they are this scared.. phm, unbelievable I smirked. And just then, I spotted someone , my right hand I knew he couldn't match me but still I want more fun. Scorpion!! he froze in his tracks.. looks like you're my choice.
Scorpion's pov
What the... how can she choose me? I don't want to die ,why is she this wicked??
Yes Fire Fly I'm coming.
Good..
he came in to the ring but after some giving it a second thought I changed my mind. Hey scorpion..
Scorpion... Yes Boss
I don't want to fight anymore I want to test my Skills... how about we go to the target center?? His eyes grew wide, I found it funny he's my best fighter and yet he's this scared?? what a baby! I shook my head inwardly.
Scorpion's POV
I don't know why I'm even her right hand man when she's determined to kill me. When she has a bad day I'm the one in trouble, when there's a problem here, I'm still the one in trouble. Like what does she really want from me?? Okay BOSS I respond and go straight to the target center.
I stood still, she positioned herself,held her dagger and threw one straight above my head, the second one was thrown directly below my ears. my heart almost stopped when she threw another one exactly below my chin. just when she was about throwing the last one Jim came running in . Boss.. Boss.. we have a problem.
Out of anger she threw the last one without looking I missed it by luck. It was aiming for my heart. God! I just missed death.
What happened?? she asked looking relaxed.
it's your uncle he's holding a press conference to talk about your disappearance for 2 weeks.
I raised a brow? wow how talented can he be?? I thought inwardly.
Inform Lucas to get the car ready. I'm not a fan of publicity but before that old fool does something stupid I better get up there. I know what he's up to he thinks he succeeded in mixing up my car for an accident. Oops looks like he's dreaming. I think I should go and clean up.
Scorpion..
Yes BOSS..
Do your job
Okay BOSS
I went, took a shower and dressed in a red tuxedo suit paired with red transparent heels. I applied red lip stick, picked up a Red handbag and headed straight out of the mansion. This is going to be one hell of a messy Day. I smiled devilishly. We drove off .
At the conference
Good day everyone greeted chairman Zack..
please chairman you called for a conference concerning your niece? asked one reporter..
Please what happened to the CEO of JEWEL'S CORP? asked another reporter. They kept bombarding him with questions. Anyone who saw the chairman in this state would think he's lost something or someone very important to him.
Please hold your horses everyone I will answer all your questions the chairman responded with grief written all over his face .
It is with great pain that I bring this news to you today..he said faking tears
At this moment Jewel was already inside the conference room.. she used the back door. Wow I must say this old fool really has guts, let me see how far this is going to turn out. I said with a smirk.
For two weeks now my niece has been missing,we searched high and low for her but it was fruitless. After searching tirelessly, we received a call saying..
Please tell us what happened to the CEO chairman Zack. inquired the reporters,who were busy flashing thier cameras at the chairman. This would be a hot topic on the front pages of the magazines.
News came saying my niece is dead. Just then people gasped, but the shock didn't last long when a beautiful treasure was seen walking majestically towards chairman Zack. Her steps were bold and her aura was domineering.
Isn't that CEO jewel?? asked one of the reporters in shocked.
It is ... answered another reporter
God this woman looks like an angel who descended from heaven... said one of the journalists...
Look at her complexion.. it's unique...many reporters took the chance to take a photo of her... days like this were hard to come by given the way the CEO hates publicity. They've never had a picture of her but from what they were seeing today the rumors about her beauty weren't just because she's way beautiful than what people said of her. She's a unique beauty
I've never seen anyone like her. She climbed to where her uncle was and his entire body grew pale.
Hi uncle she said smiling at him... miss me?? Chairman Zack almost lost all senses. No no don't do that now keep playing the uncle part ... you don't want people thinking you're a lunatic do you.. she said smiling.
Wow her smile is unique... said a journalist..
Honestly this woman is a goddess of beauty..
I'm sorry everyone... I'm also surprised. I'm very happy to see my niece is alive, I'm happy the information we got was fake. JEWEL welcome back he said faking joy.
Awwe thanks uncle.. I said showing off my biggest smile. I don't get why my father's brother hates me so much... it's frustrating but who cares I've grown past that already.
I climbed the stage to address the audience. Good day everyone... I'm sorry for the fake vibes you got as you can see I am alive and healthy and I appreciate your concern for me I said smiling.
Oh my God...I can't believe this, this woman's beauty is one in a million s
her smile is enough to enchant anyone who sees it. Said one of the reporters.
Thank you all for coming and have a wonderful day. I stepped down walked up to my uncle,he was sweating like someone who's seen a ghost.
The next time you try something this stupid trust me you'll be dead meat. I said giving him a hard glare. I turned and started walking away then I stopped a few inches away from him and said... sweet uncle you're hereby demoted from the position of a chairman to the position of a manager. I said that smiling but it was good enough for him to hear without it reaching the ears of the reporters. I hated publicity more than anything else. With that said I turned on my heals and left the conference room... I had a date with God knows who, and I don't want my Dad getting mad at me.
BERYL'S POV
Wow of all the dates I've had, this one is the weirdest. First of all I've been waiting for more than 30 minutes but still there hasn't been any sign of her, looks like she isn't interested either. I guess this time around my Dad won't blame me for screwing up the date and I won't need to raise my voice at anyone. Just when I was about to leave the room the door creaked open and damn I was smitten. What beauty..I now get why she's not interested..I mean look at her, perfect figure, perfect height,sexy eyes and good grief hot lips. Don't get me wrong I'm not a pervert or some flirt but this is the very first time a woman has caught my attention,I don't enjoy staring at women but I've always got the attention but where on earth did she come from?? How did my Dad get to know her?? She looks damn hot in her suit I wonder how she'll look in something not official.
JEWEL'S POV
Just when I thought it was some freak,turns out to be this hot guy staring at me blankly,I can't even tell if it's admiration or disgust! I mean look at him he's dark in complexion and yet looks like the god of handsomeness. His hair is neatly plaited into dreads, that has been tied backwards, his eyes are grey, he has this sexy red lips,why would a man have red lips?? Jewel behave!! I scold myself inwardly. But look at him.. he's a perfect snack. If you don't control your silly thoughts your poor cherry is going to be popped. I composed myself and walked up to him.
Good da...He kissed me! What the f**k! That was my first kiss! who the hell does he think he is? I pushed him kneed him in the groin and gave him a server slap. How dare you?? I spat in anger.
BERYL'S POV
I don't know what happened but I only found myself kissing her juicy red lips and before I could go further she pushed me kneed me at the groin and slapped me hard on the cheek, saying "How dare you"? . What the f**k! I know I went too far but this woman made me loose all control, how can I mend this situation now?? I never intended for this to happen...
I'm sorry...
You're sorry?? she asked looking like I just committed an unforgivable offense.
It was an accident.
You know for a while back there I thought you were a gentleman but, turns out you're nothing but a big jerk and a pervert.
BERYL....
To think I took out my prescious time to come here. I was sooo stupid
Look I'm sorry okay... but don't go around calling me a pervert and a jerk it's not my fault that I acted out of impulse.
Wow what nerve! I smirked. You call kissing me out of the blue as acting on impulse??
I'm sorry okay.. why I'm I even apologizing?? I've never done that before I questioned my inner self.
You know what? .... The date is off! I have important things to attend to. I turned on my heals to leave and he grabbed my wrist.
At least let me know your name... I said politely.
Why don't you take out time to find out? We'll call it punishment for your misbehaviour.
Sigh... will I still see you again?
That depends on how you impress me i answered him while smirking. Let go now please.
He left my wrist.
Thank you! Do have a wonderful day
And I left him.
What a mysterious woman! She's not smitten by my looks and neither is she even aware of who I am. I need to find out who she is.
Zack!
Yes Boss..
Let's leave! He opened the door for me and I got in. To the company. He drove off. The second we arrived at the company he stepped out and opened the door for me. I walked in to the company. with people greeting me.
Good morning Mame..
Good morning Mame
They kept greeting but I didn't respond. I don't have the time to appreciate greetings. Plus my first kiss was just stolen so yeah I could fire a bunch of people without blinking right now.
Wow! did you see the CEO? asked an employee.
Yes she's so so beautiful..her beauty is unmatched.
if I were you I'd mind my business, don't forget she's still the cruel CEO we all know, remember how she fired Maria last month? Trust me beneath her beauty lies a demon you won't like to wake.
Those words flew into my ears the second my leg stood at the front of my elevator. I turned on my heels called her name. Becky! she was already trembling with sweat on her forehead
M..M..Mame...
You're FIRED!!
The whole place went dead silent. She started crying I turned around to leave but then she followed me and was about to touch me when I called her name again. BECKY!! That's when she realized what she was about to do. No one is allowed to touch me,I hate it more than anything. so having her attempt to felt like her making a death wish.
I abruptly turned with a sharp glare and said... Do you have a death wish or something??
N..No Mame.. she said trembling. please Mame my family needs me,I need to cater for my parents. please Mame I won't repeat this mistake again. She pleaded.
You're sure you want another chance?? I asked with an evil grine on my face.
Yes Mame. she said trembling
Okay.. Everyone.. take the day off and hand over all your work to Becky. Her eyes grew wide with shock
What?? You don't want another chance again ?? I asked raising a brow
No Mame.. she said shaking her head.
Good . I turned on my heels and Left.
Greg came running behind me the second I reached the first floor where my office was located.
Mame Mr Chou was here to see you
What for??
He said he has a business proposal for you.
Not interested!! I responded still walking into my office while he followed me. You have a meeting tomorrow at 12:00 PM tomorrow with MONTECORP.
And another meeting at 4:00 PM with the construction workers. based on the materials required. And lastly a date with Mr BROOKS at 7:00 PM.
Okay you May leave.
I knew that bastard was the owner of BROOKS Corp my business rival. What a cruel world.
Greg.. I called as he was about stepping out of the office.
Yes Mame
Move that meeting to now..the one concerning the building materials.
Okay Mame..
Let me finish this one and start working on something else.
Greg returned to inform me that they are waiting for me in the board room.
As I entered everyone stood up to greet me.
Good morning CEO Jewel..
Good morning CEO Jewel..
Go straight to the point I don't have all day..I said sitting down and giving a quick glance at my watch.
Mame we are short on building materials and some of the ones that we used got bad, but the main reason why we asked for a meeting is because we've been filled for constructing on someone's property.
I raised a brow looking pissed already. What do you mean by someone's property??
Mr Chou filed the case against us and we were asked to exit the construction site as soon as possible.
Wow that bastard really went this far?? Is he stupid or what?? I thought inwardly. All of you should take the day off you'll resume construction tomorrow. I said with finalty and strolled out of the board room.
How can she look this calm when we're all screwed??
I bet you she's like the queen of demons and trust me she has something up her sleeves.
I better head home this is a good day for me to enjoy my family..I don't know when next an opportunity like this will show up so I better make good use of it.
Me too my wife has been bugging me to spend time with her but you know how the Boss operates.. there's no time for freedom. I'm going home to meet my lovely wife.
Slow down dude don't kill that woman with sugar said another worker. As for me I'll sleep like a log I don't have anyone to run to.
Greg come to my office now! I ordered him on phone.
Boss... he said walking in looking scared
Dig up every single dirt on Mr Chou and make it snappy. Also cancel my date with Mr BROOKS and replace it with Mr Chou.
I need everything before 7:00PM don't keep me waiting. Else you'll have your hands chopped off
Yes Boss firefly
Good
I'm sorry sir your dinner date with the CEO was cancelled, she has matters to attend to.
Schedule another one for tomorrow evening.
Okay sir
I don't know why but everything about this man is scary, imagine he didn't raise his voice at me but still I felt like someone was breathing fire down my neck. Who in heaven's name is he?? He's way worse than Boss firefly
I head home and sleep for hours I was woken up by Greg's call . I'm coming downstairs. I said and hung up. I went downstairs using my elevator.
What did you find??
Everything nasty Boss. He said handing out the file to me.
Wow... sleep after sending tomorrow's files to me. No mistakes Greg! Besides where's Lucas??
He's outside Boss
Tell him to get the car ready.. I said with a wide grine.
Okay BOSS
I went upstairs took a proper bath and got dressed in a red long dress that had a split right up to my laps, appllied light make-up,made soft curls on my hair,wore high sandals heels, then went downstairs. I was ready to kill tonight. I want him dreaming and after that I'll crush him.
Luca's POV
God of heaven spare me from such temptation. How can someone be this beautiful? Her beauty can drive any man to insanity. God please help me.. I don't want to loose it,my family needs me.
Good evening Boss...
Lucas Mr Brown's Restaurant
Okay BOSS.
I arrived and saw the table all set. Awwe this is going to be an epic night I said inwardly. He stood up to welcome me as I entered the room and I smiled at him and he was staring at me like a morning snack .
Mr Chou good evening I greeted.
Good evening beauty he responded kissing my knuckles
I must say you look ravishing tonight,
Thank you Mr Chou
Please eat... everything was laid for you.
Awwe it even has my favorite dish,beaf stew I said staring at a particular dish. I decided to eat before doing anything epic.
I ate everything on the plate while he was stupidly watching me. Wow this meal tastes devine! I said closing my eyes, savoring the taste. I finished my meal drank a glass of wine and after that I stared at him. Mr Chou please eat...I said smiling.
Okay beautiful.
As he was eating I stood up pulled out the envelope concerning his information and seductively placed it Infront of me. He stared at me and picked it up showing off his sexy smile that didn't move even an inch of my body.
He opened it and the second he saw the content of the pictures and papers he went pale he drank his wine in one gulp with shaky hands. Pictures of his secret marriage with another woman, illegal transactions... everything was there in front of him. He looked up while sweating..w w wher.. where did you g..g..get this? he asked stammering.
I had this wide grine on my face, while I sipped my wine.
You see Mr Chou,I don't like playing games,I know how you acquired the land I'm constructing on but I'm really nice..I paused and smiled,then walked up to him, stood behind him and said... that's Why you would make legal transfer papers of that land before morning, and send to me stating me as the main owner else... I leaned close to his ear and whispered.... everything you have here will go viral. I stood up picked up my purse and said thanks for the lovely dinner Mr Chou. I turned to leave and then said with a disgusted look.. your looks don't even move a single hair on my body. I opened the door and left . Oh what a great night it was.
BERYL'S POV
I've never seen such beauty before, and she seems not interested in my looks, she smelled like fresh vanilla, her hair looked really soft ... I think I'm falling for her.. she's Soo mysterious and a self made billionaire, second in the world. it's rare to see women devoted these days. Forget that my Dad warned me. There's absolutely no way that I'm going to screw this up. Her voice sounded so angelic entirely different from how she looks, to top it off she's fiesty.
Just when I was enjoying my moment I heard someone knock at my door.
Sir I'm sorry but Mr Derick is here to see you.
I'll be there in 30 minutes.
Okay sir.
I took a bath and went downstairs...
What do you want Derick??
Come on dude you're sounding Soo formal, one might think I'm a stranger.
I don't give a f**k! What do you want??
Tsk I'm just tired of everything Dad is forcing some spoilt brat on me and it's becoming annoying..I don't know what else to do or say. He said looking helpless
Wow this must be tormenting him for him to come to my house at this hour. Who's she?? I asked raising a brow
Bianca Joshua! He said in a detested tone.
Wow she's really bratty!
Look dude I'm fed up I might kill her sooner than later.
Then kill her! I said looking at him like I was talking about a walk in the park.
Derick...
What?! I asked raising a brow
What the f**k dude!! why are you always Soo mean?
You were the one who said you might kill her sooner than later, not me. So I simply told you to do it, and trust me that's the best idea you'll ever have. I said that while drinking a glass of water.
I'm a doctor not some f*****g ruthless murderer dude. I say tiredly
Like you've never taken lives. I said with a smirk.
Coming here was a bad idea you're a demon lord. You'll lead me straight to hell with this evil advice of yours.
I guess you're stuck then,I said winking at him.
Screw you!
What did you just say I asked glaring at him.
Sorry mistake!
BERYL..I just stared at him.
By the way how was your date??
Fiesty!! I responded with a smile.
Wow looks like someone's smitten..
Fuck off!! It's none of your business. I said staring daggers at him
Woah calm down,I don't even know her.
You've over stayed your welcome,you may leave.
Soo rude! I said standing up, just when I was about stepping out of the door I decided to tease him a little. I hope you get laid soon,I think your little guy misses going deep. He threw a dagger at me. I was smart enough to escape in time because I was already expecting it.
I don't intend on having s*x with her so soon, I know she's irresistible but, I'm already growing feelings for her like I've known her all my life. Though we just met today, I feel like this isn't the first time I've seen her, but I can't even remember where exactly. Her perfume,her voice, her mischievous attitude, and her mysterious personality. It's like I have to discover everything about her myself. I want to know more about her but all I could get was her family background and name. Damnit! I cursed messing my hair. I guess I'll sleep over it, besides we have a date tomorrow. I just hope it turns out well.
It's a Saturday and oh boy I don't know why but I don't want to leave this bed. I noticed footsteps approaching me. Who has the audacity to evade my privacy and snoop around. I pulled out my dagger from under my left pillow. just when the steps were a bit close to me I threw a dagger at the person,then another dagger and somehow the person still dudged. I got pissed and threw the third one while opening my eyes. Surprise she shouted. Bon I frowned,why would you play around like that? I could have killed you you know...
It's a Saturday and oh boy I don't feel like leaving this bed . I noticed footsteps approaching me. Who would have the audacity to invade my privacy I thought. I sent my hand under my pillow and grabbed two daggers. I threw it at the person but didn't hear any sound of someone in pains . I threw another one and still nothing. The person was getting close to me when I threw the last one and woke up immediately to fight and just then I was shocked. Bon?? I said with a frown.
..
Surprise!! she shouted
Why would you joke around like that? what if I had killed you?? I asked looking scared.
But you didn't right?? she said smiling.
It's not a joke Bon! I said getting mad.
Woah slow down! Remember how you trained me?? I've improved on my skills too you know, so I was already expecting that when I decided to surprise you.
Still that was risky,I don't want anything bad to happen to you you know.. You're my best friend and there's no way I'll be able to survive if anything happens to you. I said sincerely.
Hey nothing bad is going to happen to me okay,so please relax. And besides I've got you to protect me right? So relax I'll be okay. Alright love? She said assuring me.
Okay Bon I responded quietly with a smile.
So...are you going to welcome me now.. she said faking sadness.
Come here I said opening my arms for her. I hugged her really tight, she smelled like fresh roses. I just kept hugging her.
Love you're going to kill me with hugs!
I'm Sorry.
