HER QUEST FOR REVENGE

Congratulations, Mr. Roland,”You just made your biggest mistake.”

Scene: Marcus Enterprises – Executive Boardroom

The boardroom was filled with tense silence. The mahogany table gleamed under the harsh fluorescent lights. Isabella sat at the head of the table, poised in her tailored navy suit, unaware of the storm about to break.

Mr. Roland walked in confidently, papers in hand, his expression calm—too calm. Behind him, Mrs. Roland followed with the faintest trace of a smirk on her lips.

“Thank you all for being here,” Mr. Roland began smoothly. “As the majority shareholder of Marcus Enterprises, I hereby call this emergency board meeting into session.”

Isabella frowned. “Majority shareholder?”

Mr. Roland nodded and dropped the documents onto the table. “Yes. Over the past year, I’ve been quietly reacquiring shares through third-party investors. As of this morning, I now own 52% of Marcus Enterprises.”

Gasps echoed around the table.

“What is this?” Isabella’s voice trembled as she stood. “You’ve been working behind my back? You told me you believed in me. That this company—my father’s company—was safe with me.”

He looked at her, calm but unapologetic. “Your father was a great man, but he was too emotional. He gave too much power to people who didn’t understand the game. I won’t make the same mistake.”

Mrs. Roland chimed in smoothly, “It’s nothing personal, Isabella. Business is war. You should know that by now.”

Isabella’s heart pounded. She had trusted Mr. Roland. She believed he was different from the woman who married her father and slowly poisoned everything he built.

“You played me,” she whispered, fury rising in her throat. “Just like she did.”

Mr. Roland took a seat at the table. “Effective immediately, I’m reinstating myself as CEO. Your services… are no longer required.”

Isabella’s breath caught. The betrayal cut deeper than any wound Raymond, Angela, or Alina had ever inflicted.

But instead of crying or crumbling, she smiled faintly—coldly.

“Congratulations, Mr. Roland,” she said, her voice laced with venom. “You just made your biggest mistake.”

She turned and stormed out, head held high, fire burning in her eyes.

Scene Transition: Nathan’s Apartment – Later That Night

Isabella paced the room, her heels clicking like a war drum on the tiles. Nathan sat nearby, watching her.

“They’ve all declared war,” she hissed. “And now, I’m done playing nice.”

Nathan stood, stepping beside her. “What do we do?”

She turned to him, her expression hardened by betrayal. “We fight back. Raymond, Alina, Angela, and now the Rolands... They think we’re weak.”

Nathan met her gaze, nodding. “Then let’s show them what real power looks like.”
