The Payback Game
"You may come in" Zayden said as Evelina was knocking the door. Without looking at her, he added "We got the project right? Give me the details"
"Sorry sir, we didn't. The Verde company got it" Evelina said hesitantly.
"Verde company? But....."
"Sir, apperently the Verde company is now on the top in the market. It was facing downfall for a very long time until
the new CEO Verena Verde joined." Evelina said humbly.
"Very well,then get me information about the new CEO"
" I already did, sir. Verena Verde is the youngest successful business women in the whole country. She is also the top Model of Avalash. She is also highly skilled at martial arts and won 3 gold medals in sword fighting in a row. It is said that anything she does turns out to be perfect.
"Verena Verde, nah? Seems interesting. Well then we should pay a visit to miss perfect sometime soon."
"About that...... I got to know she is determined to buy the VIrgo painting of today's auction" said Evelina.
" Evelina, make preparations.I will be decorating my office room with the Virgo painting."
"30 million dollars" Verena shouted proudly as she knew the painting is hers now. She told Eric, her assistant and
friend, " We are getting the painting. All the arrangements are done right?" He nodded. Suddently she heard a voice saying "The auction isn't over.I offer 40 million dollars."
Totally shocked she turned around to see who could be willing to go against her and I saw a man with dark violet
hairs just around her age. Eric then slightly touched my arm and asked "What do you want to do now? We had already long exceeded our budget. Do you still want to buy THAT painting?"
"No, I will give this up to him for this time" she sighed. As the auction was over and Verena and Eric were about
to leave she noticed that man was grinning at her. She glared back him angrily and left.
"Verena, your phone is ringing. Its your dad"
" Oh thank you Eric." She said smiling at him. And picked up the call.
"Verena, get something nice to wear. You will be having a marriage interview tonight at
7 pm at the Royal dine. Don't be late" her father said.
"But so suddenly? You didn't tell me anything of it before."
" Now that you know be on time." Her father order. Having no other option she told Eric to get her home right away.
As she went to her reserved table in Royal dine her eyes widened. " You??!!!!" A
certain redhead girl and violet headed boy shouted together.
"You would be marrying this young man" Verena's father said.
"But I don't want to, dad. I don't like him"
"Look young lady he is one of the most successful business man. Well educated, humble
and very smart and unlike you he has cool nerves which is very much essential." Said Verena's father.
"But....." Verena tried to protest and her father just glared at her so she didn't dare to say anything else.
" But you can't force it on us. We are adults. We can marry anyone we want" Zayden said calmly.
"Well then we won't force you. But first you have to stay under the same roof for a
month. Then if you want to call off the marriage we will allow you to." Said Zayden's father.
"Why should I be living with an unknown boy out of blue? I don't want that
either" Verena yelled.
"If you don't agree to live together you will be forced to withdraw your position from the company. I will handover the company to Charla. And as you already know she doesn't want that. She wants to be a photographer. Do you still refuse?" Verena's father said.
"Same goes for you my boy." Said Zayden's dad.
"But you just can't force me out. I established the whole company on my own"
said Zayden.
"You very well know what I can do. It's decided already.I don't want anymore argument. And please believe in us. We are doing all this for your own good.
Here take the apartment key and the address. You will be living together from today. You have all your things
shifted there." said Zayden's dad.
Verena and Zayden sighed and they left for their new destination uttering no other words.
That's how their cold war begin.
