' No mom, Dad! where are you going don't leave me behind please no.... no!

"No......!!!! "

"Child ,did you wake up? why are you screaming? "

".........." where is this place? why am I here? I remember being chased by our family, what am I doing here?

"This is the hospital, you were injured severely due to the car accident that we had to perform an immediate surgery...but don't worry you are out of danger now,you'll be fine after resting for a few days"

'Accident....!!!! oh yes,accident!!'when we were escaping in the car a big van hit us and.... and we had a massive accident,my mom pushed me out of the car to prevent the blast and.......!!!!!

"Doctor,what happened to my parents?..... the people who were with me during the accident.... no.... how are they?...... are their injuries more severe than mine?!.... they tried to save me from the blast...!! "

"Calm down first! so much stress is not good for your body right now... and as for your parents... they..... we couldn't save them.... I'm very sorry but... they are no more"

"Huh!What.......?!" What is the doctor saying, has he gone insane, my parents.... how could they.....? they tried to protect me from the blast rather than saving themselves.... how stupid! Lord why?! why?! why am I still alive, I wish I could have just died with them.Then...those voices just now... was it my dream?..... no... those were my parents last words during the accident.... 'live!!'....oh....!!! mom! dad!why did you leave me? just why?! why did it turn out like this, where did we go wrong, was it because we trusted those bastards too much...... No...!!!! I won't forgive them... I'll kill them all, I'll ruin them,tgeir happiness just like how they ruined our happiness too....i will...

"Um... do you have a guardian or someone else who could pay for your hospital fee,girl?this was an emergency surgery so we still haven't got the money yet"

"Huh?.... money... oh... no, I don't have money"

"Then your guardian or someone else? "

"........No, my parents were my only family, I don't have anyone else"

"Then what about the hospital fees?! "

"........." is this doctor deaf or something, I said i don't have the money and still why is he bugging me? Can't you see I'm a patient?

(Door opens)

"I'll be paying for her medical fee."

"I'll be paying for her medical fee"

A strange man said that opening the door.. he looked tall.....a guy who looked like he was in his early 20's..... . a masculine body and a good looking fair face....a man who had it all... and was too good looking to be specific... a kind of guy that any woman would drool over... he brought along with him a man who was a tan-skinned who looked like his assistant... but none of that interested me since I was deep in the thoughts of how to execute my revenge nor did I have the energy to look at that good-looking face.'Crap!this room is so noisy,why don't all of them just get out already,it's so irritating.

"Doctor,i'll pay for that girl's medical fee"

"Huh?! who are you....? "

"I'm her....... benefactor to be precise"

When he said the word benefactor I looked at him with an annoying gaze and he looked back at me with a sarcastic remark. 'What benefactor are you taking about?! I've never even met you forget about any business between us'

"Doc, I would like to speak to her for a while..... Andrew go along with the doctor and proceed with the payment procedures"

".........." Everyone left the room except for that handsome dood, he looked at me expecting me to ask him questions but I looked down annoyed at how no one asked my opinion upon him paying my medical fee.

"Hey girl! I'll be frank....i have no time to joke around... so, let's make a deal! "

"Huh?! " I looked up at him confused by his words.

"Ya, a deal! I know you don't have money nor power right now...... so the money I paid just now was not for free just so you know, in exchange you need to work in my company for 5years as my trusted manager and secretary, so how's the deal? Are you in it?!"

"............" I looked at the man who was grinning like a fool asking me to accept his deal, then again his words did make sense though,even if I want to seek revenge I need to have the money and power I once had, 'should I just accept his deal......? '

"Hey..... you! I can accept the deal under certain conditions but...... why me?"

"What do you mean by 'me'?"

"I mean why did you ask me,a person who's helplessly lying down here... to work with you...? "

"Oh.... that's cuz I know you were a topper at the elite business university in France and your family,even though you didn't have any big business or anything your family was loaded with the ancestral money you had from generations.... but for some reason you lost it all just recently and now you are here..... "

"....is that all?" I asked looking at him suspeciously.

"Well.... ok ... to be more accurate my good for nothing dad who was in charge of the k group along with my stupid step-brother ruined it because of their greediness and spoiled my grandfather's years of toil in vain and so it's near to bankruptcy and..... "

"Continue..... and? "

"Continue and....? " I asked him.

"And that's why I needed a few trusted partners who would help me aid my company to make it retain back to its original glorious past... although most of it has been already back to its original state with a year of hard work from my partners and me .....but... when I heard that you were a business elite and an expert in this field I just couldn't let go of such a talent so that's why I came up with this deal.... "

I pondered for a while over his words and then finally came to a decision.

"Hmm.... alright, I accept it... but I do need some changes in our contract. "

"What changes? "

"5 years is a bit too long for me.... 3 years would do perfectly fine I guess! "

"No way... I calculated it thoroughly and your hospital fee equals to at least a year of your salary.... and I need my interest too.. and for helping you when you were in need and all that stuff... "

"I won't change my mind"

"Hey don't be like that.. what's the problem in working in our company?....and you see.....you can make so much money in 5 years plus you get your bonus and special bonuses if your work exceeds expectations and there is also the year end bonus.. "

"Hey,do you think I'm a freak who loves money to that extent?! "

"Is it not? "

"Either way, I don't want, if you want me to accept the deal, then I can work in your company only for 3 years"

Derek was filled with anger and annoyance that was shown clearly on his face. It took him some while to give me an answer.

"......ok, anything else? "

"Oh ya.... I would like to choose a position in your company rather than you deciding it for me"

"Are you sure you are capable enough to choose your own position? "

"Oh.... dear me... are you underestimating Me right now?

"......."

"And judging by the way you said your story you definitely knew whether I'm capable or not Huh? "

"Well..... let's see then, anything more? "

"No... nothing for now"

"OK then, sign the contract first, I'll modify the changes you said later, read it first before you sign it though, then don't blame me for anything! "

"k..... (reading) Yo!!What's this, why do I have to stay in your villa? "

"Oh ......that,do you have any place to stay right now? You don't even have money for a hotel room and it's not like I live in that house, I just go there once a while and there are only servants there who take care of the house"

"Then where do you stay? "

"I have built a room big enough to be called a five star hotel suit in my company since it felt inconvenient due to the workload I had after I inherited the company "

"Oh .....you mean the worker's built it? " I asked sarcastically

"Hey... can you stop that...its common sense alright?! "

"Hahaha "

"Girl, since you've signed the contract you are my subordinate now, so respect me! "

"Dear superior, for your kind information I still haven't signed it yet and I still haven't started working in your company"

"Oh.. well... technically yes... "

".......ok, see I've signed it now"

"Hm... Yep... and yes my name is Derek. Amel, president of k group and your benefactor ,so please don't refer to me as 'you' "

"K then, you too sir don't refer to me as 'Girl' I have a name and my name is Juliana Caster, please do call me Juliana alright? "

"OK.... "

It was fun having a conversation with Derek even though he's a little annoying and it's cute to see his reactions too especially when he is at a loss of words for my quick remarks and sarcasm. I do hope our partnership goes well and that I'll be able to get back my revenge on that darn bastards for ruining our happiness and for coveting what was not theirs.
