"Ma'am, this is the files of KL Corporation", a girl in her mid twenties said.
The lady sat like a Queen on her chair nodded. She was beautiful just like some goddess. Her body was perfectly proportionate with beautiful soft curves. She had beautiful long legs with a height of 5'8". Her golden brown wavy hairs were let down at the back.
The lady had beautiful hazel brown orbs with long eyelashes touching her skin above. Her small pointed nose was perfect followed by those rosy red soft natural lips. Her skin flawlessly fair. She emitted a powerful yet elegant aura. A complete package of beautiful with brain and money."Lucy, keep the files here", the lady said elegantly. The girl named Lucy kept the files then bowed and left.
The lady took the files and started reading. "Interesting. I'd like to see what this person can do to me with this stupid company", the lady said and threw the file in the dustbin after reading and burnt it.
Oh well, this is Anna Jane, 24 year old. She's the owner of Jane Technological Groups. one of the biggest entity in the world. She's the CEO of her company as well as the Chairwoman and the largest shareholder with 65% shares.
She's not only beautiful but also very intelligent with the IQ of 210 and photographic memory. She is the mystery woman everyone is searching for. She Doesn't want to reveal her identity as she says it's not the right time yet. Well, no one dares to go against her.
She was working in her laptop when her mobile rang. She picked up looking at her mother's name pop up. "Hey, mom", she called out like a small child.
"NaNa, come home early today. I made your favorite cake", her mom, Ruby Jane, said. "Of course, mom. You don't need to tell me", Anna said with a wide smile and hung up after talking a bit.
In the evening she got home earlier than usual. All the servants lined on both sides to bow her. Her mansion was large and royal like a palace. As she entered everyone welcomed her royally.
The mansion had purple and golden theme. There was a grand staircase leading to the upper floor. There were 18 luxurious rooms in the Mansion. It had two living rooms, a large ballroom, a theater, indoor swimming pool, two helipads on the top terrace of the mansion. Everything you wish, it's there.
The mansion's name was Ruby's Heaven. But only a few people whom Anna trusted the most knew the name while for others it was Heaven. She kept the name a secret for some reason.
"Mom", Anna called out as she saw her
mother walking out of the kitchen. "Miss. Billionaire is here", her mom laughed. Anna rolled her eyes. "My cake?", she demanded. Her mother chuckled and told her that it's ready.
Anna rushed to her room and got freshen up. She wore a comfortable shorts and loose tshirt then went downstairs. She had her dinner with her mother and then followed by the cake her mom prepared.
Later, she went to her study room to work but she recieved a call. "Ma'am, the third base was attacked", Lucy informed. "I need every information about that person who dared to attack the Queen", Anna said in a cold tone and hung up.
It was late at night. She went to her mother's room to check on her. "Mom, you didn't sleep?", she asked and she entered the room. Her mom immediately hide the thing behind her back.
Anna saw it but didn't say anything. "Sleep early, mom", she said and closed the door then left. She sighed as she entered her room. "Mom, when will you leave that thing behind?"
She walked into her walk in closet and saw her photo. She was wearing a beautiful and elegant white bodycon dress. She looked like a Queen in the photo. She pressed a button beside the frame leading to change the photo.
A photo of a girl of age 15 appeared. The girl was not that beautiful compared to Anna. She was fat and ugly. Her skin fair but there were fat around her belly area, arms, under the chin. The girl had a small smile on her face. Her hazel brown eyes were not so bright.
"Even I can't let go of the things", Anna sighed deeply.
***Flashback**
"Hey, look there. That's the fatty",someone teased. "Anna, you're so ugly. So fat", the children yelled as a girl walked through the corridors. The same girl from the photo frame.
The girl was 15. She had golden brown hairs which were beautiful. Her skin fair. She wasn't the best looking girl. She had fat accumulated around her waist and neck. Her double chin was on full view as she walked. She was probably 175 pounds. Fat, isn't she?
"Haww! The floor is vibrating as she walks. Wooo", everyone teased. "Hey, you. I don't eat the food provided by your family. You've no right to speak like that to me", Anna grabbed the collar of the boy and yelled.
"Hey, how dare you talk like that to him?", other guys came and held Anna.They pushed her on the floor. "You bitch. You better stay away from us if you don't wish to die", a guy shouted.
Anna kept quiet and walked to her classroom. All the kids bullied her but she ignored them. She wasn't good looking but had a great brain with the IQ of 210 but still not everyone liked her. She was arrogant.
"Anna, don't be sad. Karma will pay back", Briana said. She was Anna's good friend. Anna didn't say anything and just sat on her place which was the last seat. She had been quiet for some months. Not talking to anyone just staying by herself*.
"Anna Jane, it's all a past", a sound came from the photo frame pulling Anna out of her thoughts. Anna pressed the button and once again her current photo appeared. "Some scars never fade away", she sighed deeply.
Next morning, Anna got ready for her office as usual. She wore a rusty red knot pencil skirt that ended above her knee with a cream color sleeveless blouse and matching high heels. She let her hairs down. Her makeup included eyeliner and light orange-red matte lipstick. Her accessories included a cream color wrist watch, ear cuff earrings and a small pendant.
She went downstairs to the dining room and greeted her mom. "Annie, I've planned a blind date for you...", Anna cut off her mom. "Mom, love is not for me. I've told you not to arrange any blind dates for me", she said plainly.
"NaNa, you can't be single for the rest of your life. You need a man to love you and take care of you", Ruby tried to explain."Mom, after what happened in the past. I'm definitely not getting into any relationship", Anna said sternly.
"Because of that past, you're going to push away your future happiness?", Ruby asked in a sad tone. "Mom, that past is not something forgettable... okay fine. I'll go to the date. Don't be sad", Anna sighed looking at her mom's sad look.
Anna took the glass of juice and sipped as her mom spoke about the address where Anna would meet her blind date. "He's the second son of Peterson family. His name is John Peterson. You'll meet him at the Cafe89 by 4 pm today."
Anna nodded as she continued to drink her juice. "Anything else?", she asked her mother. "Umm... I was thinking of going to Georgia. I wanted to go and see mom. It's been quite a while", her mom said in a hesitant tone.
Anna tightened her grip on the glass and stared blankly. "Okay, I'll arrange the jet for you", she said reluctantly. "You won't go to see your grandma?", Ruby asked. "I've work, mom."
Anna got up and left for office. "Lucy, arrange my jet for mom. She'll leave for Madison tomorrow. Also, arrange a few bodyguards for her to accompany her", Anna said. "Okay, ma'am", Lucy bowed and left after giving Anna the schedule.
In the evening, she went to Cafe89 to meet the guy.
Anna's POV:
I went to the Cafe and found a man wearing a light suit sitting near at the corner. He was good looking but not at the point that I'd drool. He seemed to be a playboy.
"Mr. Brendan Peterson?", I asked as I stood in front of him. "Miss. Anna Jane?" I gave a slight nod and sat on the chair opposite to him. I took off my gloves and ordered myself a cappuccino.
"What's your age?", I asked in a stern tone. "28. About you?", he asked. "I'm 24."
He looked at me up and down then voiced out. "You look a lady from upper class. I'm the second son of Peterson family as you might know." I gave a cold laughter.
"See, I'm not looking for some love marriage or something. It's already arranged by our families so I don't want to put any pressure on you. I currently have some girlfriends and also have one night stands. I'm sure you're also not so pure so let's get to the point."
I gave a cold smile and said, "Do not worry, Mr. Peterson. The moment I entered this Cafe and saw you, I never thought of dating you at first place. You're not my type. I don't like people who live on the support of their family wealth and don't respect women."
His face darkened but I just ignored it. The waiter served us our orders. I sipped on my cappuccino and stared at him. "So, here.You, Brendan Peterson is not my, Anna Jane's type. I kindly reject you", I said and stood up from my chair.
I put on my gloves and took out a hundred dollar note then put it on the table. "Your compensation will be sent to you. How much is your compensation fees?", I asked but he didn't say anything and kept staring at me.
"How about a Villa in Ruston Regency?", I asked with a raised brow. Ruston Regency is the second largest and second most expensive real estate area in New York while my mansion is in Imperial Villas, the largest and most expensive real estate area. It has 20 most expensive Houses in the country. All the big business tycoons live in Imperials. My mansion was rebuilt by me especially as I wanted it to be."Or you want it one in Imperials? Well, I don't see that you're that deserving to live in Imperials. So, I think Ruston is good for you. Or you want a car as well?", I asked. "You! You're insulting me", he blurted out.
I raised my brows. "I never insulted you. Instead I'm compensating you and giving you some more respect, Mr Peterson. You're taking me in a wrong way."
"Are you even capable of buying a small apartment in Hyatt Gardens?", he asked with a smirk. Hyatt Gardens has the most expensive apartments. "Oh, I'm sorry. Hyatt Gardens is much expensive for you. Where do you live? I'm sure it must be some small one or two bedroom apartment."
I wanted to laugh at him. I wonder if he would say this after he knows who I am.He's asking the world's richest lady if she can buy a mere apartment when she has the most expensive house in the world and the number one technological company.
"I think you don't even deserve the Villa", I sneered. "Don't beat around the bushes. I know you can't buy a Villa in Ruston", he said in an uneasy tone. I raised a brow at him. "Were you really going to give a Villa to me?", he asked.
"You doubt? I'm not so bad to reject anyone without paying. I'll just give you a Villa since you were not so sure", I said and took out my mobile to call Lucy. "Buy a Villa in Ruston under the name of Brendan Peterson."
"Okay, ma'am. I'll buy it and send the papers to him", Lucy said, and then I hung up.
I turned to Brendan and said, "The papers will be sent to Peterson Corporation in the Vice President's office before you reach." His jaws dropped at my words. I ignored him and walked out.
"Where to, my lady?", the Chauffeur asked. "RJ Helps", I said. The Chauffeur bowed and started driving. We reached there in 30 minutes.
RJ Helps is the orphanage I opened three years back for my mom. She loved children and would be sad when she saw helpless children on the streets. RJ is for Ruby Jane. It helps all the children who are homeless and are not able to get treated due to financial problems.
I went to the Director's office and talked about the condition of the NGO and some other things. Being the Vice Chairwoman of such a big NGO is not an easy task. I've to make sure about the condition of the kids here and othe things. Well, the Chairwoman is of course my mother.
"Ms. Anna, don't worry about anything. Everything is alright under your supervision", the Director said. She was a lady in her late thirties who's a widow. She is a truth worthy lady.
After a while, I left for home. As I entered, I saw my mom looking at the gifts in the living again and again. "My lady", everyone bowed as I entered. "Since when is she looking those gifts?", I asked mom's assistant.
"Since the afternoon when she got it. She had been counting them again and again not to miss anything", said Joanna, my mom's assistant. Joanna is almost the same age as my mom just two year younger. I hired her especially for mom to assist her and take care of her. She is one of my trust worthy lady.
I sighed and walked to mom. I took off my gloves and gave to the maids. "Mom, are you that excited to leave me?", I asked. She turned to me and said, "NaNa, I'm so excited to see everyone. I wish you too could go with me."
"Its okay, mom. As long as you're happy, I'm happy", I said and gave a small smile. "See I got this for your cousin's newly born daughter. How's this?", she asked showing me a princess dress. "Its nice, mom."
She didn't miss a gift for anyone. She got all the expensive and beautiful gifts for everyone. I'm happy to see her so lively and happy. "When will you come back?", I asked her. "I'm going after almost seven years, I'll stay there for at least two months", she said as thought for a while.
Mom, you miss them so much. I hope you get all the happiness. In the end, everything I'm doing and earning is all for you. As long as you're happy, I'll get you everything in the world even if I've to spend trillions on that thing. You were the one who went through everything for me, now it's time for me to pay back.
"See, this is for your cousin. He's now 14. You remember, he used to be so scared of you because you were the most strict one", she laughed as she said. I laughed too as I remembered those childhood memories.
She showed me all the gifts she bought. I just nodded and listened to her. I once again checked everything. I arranged four bodyguards for her.
"Mom, don't tell anyone about my company", I reminded mom as it wasn't the time yet. She nodded. We talked about her journey and then I came to room to freshen up then had dinner with mom.
I came back to my room and sat on the bed with my laptop. Suddenly, my mobile rang. It was an unknown number. The call was on my old number that i used 7 years back. Who could it be? I picked the call. "Hello?" No answer came. Who is it?
"Anna", came a familiar male voice. My heart started beating faster and a lump formed in my throat. "W-Who are you?", I asked even though I almost knew who it could be. I can't forget the voice of that person.
"How are you?", the voice asked. "Are you drunk again?", I asked in my usual cold tone. "I'm sorry", the person said. I didn't say anything for a while as no words came out. "What are you sorry for?", I asked once I got my voice back.
"For everything. I was wrong. It was my fault not to trust", the person said. "Ha! You think it's so easy to just apologize for you and for me to forgive you after what you did?", I almost yelled.
The other line went quiet for a while. "I'm sorry", the person once again said. I hung the call and blocked the number. I can never forgive you. I'm sorry. I cried. I don't know why I cry everytime I think about those memories.with a smile. "You didn't sleep too", I said as I walked to her bed and laid my head on her laps.
"I'm just excited to meet my family after so long", she said with a wide smile. "I'll miss you, mommy", I said and hugged her tightly as I snuggled my face into her stomach. "My baby, if you miss me then just come to see me", she said. I nodded.
I slept with her that night hugging her tightly like some kid. "Even the strongest person needs a person to rely on. I hope you get that person too", she said.
"I have you", I said and hugged her tightly. "You need a person who will be with you at every step of your life", she said as she caressed my hairs. "I don't need to rely on anyone. I've everything I need. Money, fame and you."
I went to my mom's room. "Annie, you didn't sleep yet? It's almost 12 am", she said
"You once again rejected the guy, huh?", she asked. I just kept quiet and closed my eyes. "She always falls asleep when I'm talking about marriage and love", she murmured and closed her eyes.
I turned to the side.
If you wanted me to love anyone in the future then why didn't you fall for anyone after father? How can you expect me to fall in love with anyone now*?
Anna's POV:
In the morning, I dropped mom to the airport's private part where my jet is kept. It's the most luxurious private jet in the world with all gold interior. The interior is no less than a Villa. You can find everything inside that a Villa has.
"Take care and don't work too much", mom said and kissed my forehead. I nodded. "You too take care", I said and waved at her. She was so excited to see everyone.
My mom's family isn't some rich and wealthy family. They live in the countryside of Madison, Georgia. They are the middle class family who are happy with whatever they have. Only some of her family members who have a bit good financial condition or have good qualifications are in some good cities.
All my 16 bodyguards, bowed to mom with respect and bade farewell. I walked out with my bodyguards following me. I was going out from the VIP exit. Suddenly, I bumped into someone when I was deep into my thoughts.
"I'm sorry", I said as I looked at the person. It was a man in his late twenties. I've seen him somewhere, he looks familiar. Oh yeah, that's Ryan King. Heir of King family and owner of King Groups and King's Empire.
His face was cold as usual yet handsome. He had beautiful steel grey eyes and brown hairs. His facial features were defined sharply. His pointed and straight nose followed by those light lips made him look more handsome. His body looked well built. Even when he was wearing a suit, his muscles were flaunting out.
Anna, what's wrong with you? Why are you so mesmerized by this man? Shut up. He's not an exception from all those men out there. I reminded myself and shook my head.
"Excuse me", he said coldly without looking in my direction and walked out with his bodyguards following him behind. There were almost the same number of bodyguards as mine following him. All wearing black suits.
This man sure is arrogant like those men out there. I hate such people. "Ma'am, you okay?", one of the bodyguard asked. I nodded and walked out. I was getting into my car when I saw Ryan getting into his car.
I went to R&P Enterprises. I opened the door to find a man hovering over a woman. I rolled my eyes and sat on the couch near the door. "I'm giving you five mintues. Wear your clothes", I said coldly as I stared at my watch.
"Why are you here?", the man asked. I gave a cold smile and said, "You shouldn't ask me questions, Mr. Lee. I wonder what your wife would say after she sees these." I threw some photos on his face.
"Where did you get all these? Who are you?", he asked. "It's not important to know who I am. Your time is precious, baby. You dared to touch my people. So sad that you can't live a bit longer now", I said with a pitiful look.
"W-What do you mean by that? Who are you?", he asked. "An asshole like you is not needed in this world. Having a wife and kids at home and still having fun here with the assistant and many other women."
I stood up from the couch and walked to him. I caressed his face and digged my nail in neck. "You'll slowly die bearing all the pain you wife might feel when she knows about your affairs. As for you elder son, he's like you. Useless thrash. You've only four hours left, Mr. Lee. Happy death!", I smiled.
"Who are you?", he asked. "Oh my, you're dying but still wanna know who I am? Well, then let's fulfill your last wish. I'm not so bad you know. I'm someone who you wouldn't dare to mess with. Not you, not anyone else", I said with gritted teeth.
He gave a confused look. "A lowly person like you don't deserve to know who I am. Just think of me as someone you shouldn't have messed up with", I said in disgust and turned to leave but then stopped to look at him.
"By the way, if you're thinking of the antidote of that thing I just poisoned you with then let me tell you that there is no antidote of that poison. No one except me has the antidote and I'm not someone who will give you the antidote to the cheater", I said and walked out of his office as I put on my shades.
"Oh by the way, DRIP", I said with a killing smile. [If the man wasn't dying, he would be definitely seduced by her.] He gave a confused look to me. "Don't Rest In Peace", I said and left.
I got into my car and went to my office. I worked on my new project. "Ma'am, someone named Klara just called. She said she's your friend. Do you know her?", Lucy asked. "Tranfer the call to me", I said and put down the intercom.
Soon, the call was transferred on my mobile. "Annie, I missed you so much. Guess what?! I'm back to New York. Your bestie is now a businesswoman and what else!? Charlotte is a gynecologist", she said everything in a single breath.
"Hmm", I replied as I massaged my temple. "What hmm? Your besties are back and you're not even excited", came Charlotte's voice. "I'm happy", I said calmly.
How can I not be happy? Only you two were one who never left my hand and that guy named Colton. I can never forget you three people. Now that you two are also back, I'm so happy.
"When did you both return?", I asked. "Just a while ago. Charlotte is not back yet", Klara said. "I'll be back in three days. Tomorrow is the last day of my training then we have a small get together",
Charlotte said.
"Okay, I've some work. Talk to you guys later. Take care and call me if you need anything", I said and hung up. The rest of my day was busy. I had meetings with my International business clients.
In the evening, I went to my mansion. I saw that the Mansion beside mine had the lights on which would be usually off. I guess, someone came to live here. That mansion was also rebuilt as it's different from the other Villa designs in the area. The mansion was not used for two consecutive years because earlier someone lived there. I don't know who and I don't damn care.
"Welcome home, my lady", everyone bowed as I entered. I went to my room and took a shower. I came out wearing a pair of dark shorts and light blue tshirt with boots. I wore my gloves.
I took my Ducati and drove in full speed. I stopped once I reached my destination. "Reine", everyone bowed to me as I walked in. "Where are they?", I asked in a cold tone. A man showed me the way.
I saw a man tied with the chair. "Reine, please let me off. I beg you", the man said which more sounded as if he was crying. I laughed coldly. "You think you can be off when you attacked my place?", I asked coldly.
"You tried to kill those of my men? You dared to attack me?", I smiled coldly. "Reine, please forgive me. I know I did a very big mistake attacking your gang", he begged. I smirked.
"Give me S20", I said. Soon, an injection was kept on my extended hand. "This is the punishment for provoking the Queen, your Reine", I said as I injected the poison into his neck. S20 is one of the most dangerous drug invented.
Venomous Death is the name of my gang. One of the most dangerous, fearless and largest gang of the world and I'm the Reine, the Queen of this gang. In the past, I was someone who was scared of violence but I escaped it very soon.
"Reine, the Roi is back", one of the man informed. I nodded. "I would like to see what kimd of man is the King", I said with an evil smile.
This Gang was actually under a man in France who was my Godfather and also goduncle who's also my goduncle. He treated my mom as his sister but when he retired he said that his kids are not capable of handling the gang so he declared me as the Queen but the king is still unknown to me. Uncle didn't tell me who the King was but just said that he's a capable one.
I'm eager to meet you Roi. I hope you don't disappoint me.
I went back to my mansion and took a shower again as I got dirty by all the dirt and blood of that man. I put on my pj and sat on the swing in my balcony. My room's balcony was large and had a three seater sofa, two armchairs, a table and a comfy and large sofa swing.
I opened my laptop and started working. After a while, I stretched my arms and turned around. I saw someone standing in the balcony in the Villa in front of me. It was a man. I couldn't see the face as the back was towards me.
I didn't bother to take anymore look as I took my things and walked inside my room and closed the sliding glass door. I took my mobile and called mom. She spoke about how everyone was happy to see her.
"Talk to your grandma. She misses you", mom said. Before I could refuse, I heard an old voice on the other side. "Anna, my child. How are you?", grandma asked. "I'm fine, grandma. How about you?", I asked.
"I'm good. You don't even come to see this old lady. I'll die in some days. Come and see me", she started talking all emotional. And soon, I couldn't control my emotions too. "Grandma...", I was about to say something when a voice rang into my ears.
I stopped what I was going to say and changed my sentence. "I'm a bit busy with my job now. I'll come once it's the right time", I said in a voice void of any emotion and then hung up.
