CHAPTER 3: The New Me

ELAINE'S POV

"Anne inform the Research and Development Team, we will have a meeting in 5 minutes" I told Anne, my assistant. Anne is 35 years old. She was the one appointed by my parents to take care of the properties that named after my nickname. She was secretly appointed by my parents even I, don't know her. She told me that the properties that she handled are not connected to the properties of the Perkins to make sure that the Three Families who joint hand to take down the my Family wont suspect it and won't lay a finger on it. When I called her ten years ago, she was shock to hear what happened to my parents.

"Yes CEO Aine" she answered me and make her way to the RD team. I was left alone in my office and i recall  everything I've experience when I was a child.

It's been ten years since my parents died, so as the old me. Back then I don't know how did I survive that fire and where did that fire came from.Every person in that room was burned except me. Maybe I was lucky enough but come to think of it how?, How did I survive that fire?. I was so shock about the things I saw and experience that moment that is why it didn't came in my mind till i calm myself down. Till now I don't know how, the answer in that Question are not yet found.

That day I get every files that my father keep in the safe. I know that this Files are important and I don't want it to end up in the hands of those bastards who killed my family. When I gathered everything I needed I ran as fast as I could away from our mansion. When I  know that I am far enough I grabbed  a taxi and let it drive miles away from the area. At that time I don't know where to go, if I'll go to my friends house Uncle Ivan, Uncle Peter and Grandpa Luke will surely kill them. I read the files and found a number. I asked the driver if I may barrow his phone and he let me. I called the number

" hello?" the other line asked. It was a voice of a woman

"uhmmm do you know Eve and Mark Perkins?" I asked her I am not sure if  this person can be trusted that's why I didn't tell her my name.

"  Yes. Are you Elaine, Mr. and Mrs. Perkins daughter?" I don't know if I can trust her but her  number was written here so maybe I can.

"Yes I am."  I answered honestly

" oh .did they.... are they gone?" she asked with concern and shock in her voice, hearing about it, the scene pop up in my mind I can't stop the tears from falling.

" Yes they are. who are you?" I asked her. I still do not know if I can trust her or not if my father do trust her then so do I 'but not completely I have learned my lesson'.

" I am Anne I was appointed by your father to take care of the properties named after you I am at the other side of the country in City N. Do you need me to come and get you?" She asked and I answered

" no I can manage I'll go there just prepare someone who you trust to fetch at the airport" I told her

"Yes I got it young Madam Aine" she answered . Aine was my nickname given by my Grandma El co'z she's El and I am Aine. That's why I love her with her it makes my name complete.I will change my name to Aine no one can complete me anyway.

I deleted the number and told the driver to buy a new one I gave some money to him and destroy the mobile phone. I don't want to be traced.I told him to go in the nearest airport in the area.

When I Arrived at City N I change my ne to Aine Eve. I choose my Mother's name for my surname co'z they thought the Perkins Family are totally gone. I can't use my real surname but Eve can make me feel that I am still connected to them. Since then I make sure to become a strong person. For the past 10 years I didn't stop training myself. I studied every fighting skill I could and practice it every single day, yah I was busy but Revenge was the only reason why I choose the live. I studied in advance to prepare myself on handling The Company. At the age of fourteen I officially take over the company but didn't show up till I was 18. I was secretly handling the company in the shadow of Anne, showing up myself in early age won't benefit me, that is why I waited till I was in the legal age to show up.Anne became my secretary since then. A lot of people was curious why their previous CEO suddenly became a secretary instead of being the Vice President, they are curious but didn't have the guts to ask. They did not believe in my ability at first, who will anyway? at that age?. But of course I can handle it professionally I've been the one running this Company since I was 14. And I make Anne to be my secretary because she is the only person I trust. After 2 years my Company became the biggest Company in City N.

"It's time for those bastards to face their own downfall" I told myself and hear a knock on the door.

"come in" I told my serectary. I know It was her because she is the only one who can enter my office.

"Miss CEO Aine they are in the meeting room waiting for you" Anne updated me.

I nod and make my way in the meeting room.

'First Step of Revenge is coming' I thought and entered the meeting room.
