Remi Renard gave up her life for love and married the man her father hated. Unfortunately her once passionate romance turned into a stale marriage. “You have to get rid of that baby, I am not ready to be a father.” One miscarriage later and she is kicked out of her matrimonial home by her husband and her only friend. “Get out you useless witch. You can't even give him a child.” Heartbroken, she vows her revenge. But first, she has to prove herself worthy of her birthright as CEO of Renard Dynasty and take down all those who would oppose her.

I exasperatedly picked it up with my eyes still fixed on him.“Hello?”“Remi, if you'll be free tonight, my wife and I would love to host you.”Tristan's voice eased the tension rising in my chest. “I'd like that, Tristan.”“Great. She'll be so excited. By the way, how goes your project?”I'd hoped he would have dropped the call after my confirmation but I couldn't fault him for asking.“Very well. She was a bit to handle at first but it worked out.”Jesse decided he'd waited enough and left, leaving me with the turmoil of an unanswered question.“I knew it would. Anyway, I'll leave you to it. See you tonight,” Tristan finished, dropping the call.Great. Just after he left.I couldn't very well run after him to get the answer. I didn't want to seem like some desperate little girl.A heavy exhale made me slump back into my chair.At least I had a homemade dinner to
“Why are you nervous?” Jesse asked.It was the day of my meeting with Molly Renee and for some reason I wasn’t feeling very confident. Something about her being famous made her seem larger than life and I couldn’t, for the life of me, get past that thought. We were in my office going over what I'd say to her.“It's nothing special. You hung out with Ashley, right? Think of Molly as–”“Molly Renee. She's particular about that,” I interjected. I'd seen a video of her throwing a tantrum over being called her first name only. I should probably have done some research before picking her. He rolled his eyes. “Remi, relax. Breathe.”I took in a deep breath and exhaled heavily. “Didn't make me feel better,” I muttered. “Cool but if you give her this nervous energy when she comes in, she'll give it right back to you. I promise you don't want that. It's easier to just relax and get out of your head.”He wasn't wrong but I was shocked this was coming from him. The shocked look on my face told
“Congrats,” Tristan said as we celebrated in my office.I clicked glasses with him but an uneasy feeling lingered in the dark corners of my mind.“Thanks,” I said. “That was surprisingly easy.”“You sold them. What else did you expect?”I wished I could say he was right. I gave the hell out of that speech. But that didn't sell them. I'm convinced if Mike and Tristan hadn't been there to intercept, they'd never have gone for it. I was worried why Mike was so eager for it. But thinking about that would have sent me down a rabbit hole. Besides I had other things to worry about, most important being the success of this project.HR had send an interview invite to Molly Renee and I was eager to meet her. I was sure she would be eager to work with Renard Dynasty. Things like that were gold on a resume.“It's a good plan. You have what it takes to make it work,” Tristan said.I did. Why was I worried.****On my drive home, my phone began ringing incessantly. I groaned, wondering what was s
Tristan took the file and studied it for a moment before handing it to Jesse. “You're certain?”“I am.” There was just something about her that resonated with me. I just had to trust my gut.Jesse looked the file over. “Molly Renee. My cousin talks about her. She's big with the younger audience. Not exactly our demographic.”Wasn't he supposed to be on my side? “Maybe not,” I seethed.“Just saying. Why take on someone who won't help the company's image?”“Because I want to tell a story of change and growth and I want her to be the vessel. It will not bring immediate results but it will not only help but boost the company's image.”I glared at him, daring him to challenge my authority. Whatever we had with each other was in the past. I would hate to pull rank on him but if he made me, I will.He only shrugged.Tristan leaned back in his chair. “That's your pitch to the board.”“It is?” I'd said it in the heat of the moment but thinking about it, I was speaking from the heart. I belie
I tossed and turned all through the night, barely getting a wink of sleep. I really shouldn't have stayed to listen to him because his words were all I could think about.Was he really happy about our baby? It's like one second, my recollection was crystal clear, the next, it was hazy at best.Maybe I'd just demonised him in my head so I could move one.I kept trying but sleep eluded me. When I finally drifted off, it felt like my alarm rang two seconds later.Groggy on my first day. Just perfect. Coffee would be my fuel for the day.I dragged myself out of bed and got ready. The drive into work was mostly peaceful because of how early it was. The day had hardly broken when I pulled into my reserved parking spot. Being CEO and all, I thought I'd set an example for my subordinates.“You can't park there, miss.” A security guard came barging as I was getting out of my car. “Reserved spot. You need to move right now!”I glanced up, locking eyes with him for a while.“Did you hear me, m
“Hello?” “Hey Remi, it's–”I would have won a hanging up competition with how fast I dropped the call. It was the night before my first day of work and I was gearing up to start with a bang.I was thinking up ideas for new implementations when my phone rang. At first, I didn't recognise the number even though it looked familiar. But hearing Oscar’s voice almost made me fling my phone across the room.“This bastard has some nerve calling me.” I realised I hadn't blocked his number.When dad had initially brought me home, there had been a flicker of hope that he would come back to his senses and take me back. There were nights I would stare at my phone, crying myself to sleep.My phone rang again. I stared at it until it stopped but just a few seconds later, it started up again.“Hello!” I thundered into the microphone.“Remi, please don't hang up. I have some–”“Listen here, you piece of shit. I don't know what gives you the impression I care about anything you have to say or that y
“Remi, you're an adult. Remember how I told you not to let people's words get to you so easily?”I let out an exaggerated sigh. “I know, I know. But he was… you know what, you're right.”He shook his head at me. “You really are your father's daughter. So stubborn.”I giggled because he was right again. We were walking again, looking for the next board member I'd be introduced to when out of the corner of my eyes, I saw a sight that almost made me throw up.A couple, dancing together, lost in music. She was grinding on him and he seemed to be having the time of his life.This wouldn't have concerned me except the man was Jesse.Why was he here? How could he… why would he… My legs began moving before my mind could process it. I came to stand in front of them with my arms crossed, glaring at him.He had his eyes closed, seemingly lost in ecstasy.“Wait your turn lady. He's all mine,” the girl grinding him said.His eyes shot open and he frowned once he saw me.“What the hell are you doi
Laughter erupted from the whole backyard. There didn't seem to be one sober soul in sight. It baffled me that these people who'd seemed so stoic and corporate when I'd first met them could let loose and to such an extent. This was how I'd imagined college parties went.“These parties get wild so stick by me,” Tristan said, scanning the yard.“It's not wild already?” I asked, alarmed.Tristan chuckled and shook his head. “You're only here to mingle with the board, to get to know them and for them to get to know you. Don't get pressured to do anything out of your comfort zone.”I nodded. With all the turmoil I was feeling, I would blow up on someone before I let them pressure me.“Come.”I walked behind Tristan through the yard, passing different people in various states of debauchery. Someone was snorting up a white, powdery line. In the corner, there was a throuple making out, damn near naked. All around me, there was some weirdness going on.“My wife so desperately wanted to come.”
“You better not do anything foolish,” dad growled ad he pushed me and mom back into the rounge. “Lock the door and don't open for anyone,” he yelled at us.My heart was pounding. What the hell? How did things get to this? Was this going to be a common occurrence?“You! I worked for you for years. Profitable years but you let your brat come in and toss me aside.”“Watch your damn mouth, you damn weasel!” Dad growled at Mosley. “Remi, come on. You're my last hope,” Debbie whined.I heard footsteps running towards the door and then a crash, shortly followed by a groaning yell.My mind went to the worst. More footsteps came running and loud voices could be heard shouting orders.Not too long after, the commotion quieted down and reluctantly opened the door. Mosely was sitting on the floor against a wall with his hands behind his back. His had a trail of blood down his shirt.Dad was talking to the security guards with his knuckles bloody.Mom ran to him once she saw him.Mosley was glar
