Click, click, the sound of the red silhouette heel was the only thing you could hear in the building, everywhere was quiet, looking as if no one was in the company. Many people were there but they were just quiet, but why?

Because she was here, the bossy boss who doesn't like noise.

None of her workers likes her because she's too difficult to work with, she gets angry at any slight mistake and nobody wants to get at her bad side because you will surely regret it, she's arrogant, very arrogant, self-centered and most people not only her workers but outsiders knows she's very cruel, very wicked even when she's giving judgment.

They call her 'JEZEBEL', to the extent that most people think she's the incarnation of Jezebel.

People wondered if she is the biological daughter of her parents because her parents are very delicate, simple, nice, and caring people, especially her father, the former CEO. He was a very easy person to work with although he had this aura that is intimidating but he is a great man.

Too bad he retired early.

But who is this girl that we are talking about?

The so-called 'JEZEBEL'.

She's no other than Cassandra Owen.

Cassandra walked with her red short sleeve curvy off-shoulder gown on her red silhouette heel, her Versace bag in her left hand which cost a fortune, and a pendant hanging on her neck, her skin very delicate and soft like a baby glowing, her hair soft silky and long but curly. I almost forgot to add her red signature lipstick, yes it's on her lips bringing out her cold aura. She walks majestically to her office.

Apart from all those things I said one thing about Cassandra is that she's beautiful, everyone knows about that and she also has some mad curves which could make all the guys go crazy. Every other person like Cassandra in other stories has their own story to tell why they are cold, wicked and so on but, in Cassie's case there is no particular reason why she is like that, let's just say she was born to be like that considering she is the one child of her parents as Cassie entered the office, her employees heaved out a sigh of relief, they did even know that they were holding their breath for too long.

[ At Cassie's office ]

Hazel dropped a file on Cassie's desk angrily.

"And what the heck is this? " Cassie asked, looking at her best friend angrily.

Yes, Hazel is Cassie's best friend, funny right how can Jezebel have a best friend but yes she does. No one knows how they ended up as best friends, one thing is for sure Cassie cares about her even though she shows her affection in the opposite way and Hazel is the only person who tends to talk to Cassie like she cares but up to a certain limit, she knows her boundary. Cassie is not someone you would like to mess with.

" Read it," Hazel said

" You know I'm not a patient person and I hate wasting time so speak up," Cassie said

" Look the stocks are going down and most of the shareholders are demanding for you to look for a solution to this or else they would stop buying shares and they would also remove themselves as the shareholders of the company and if they do that we would be ruined, " Hazel said almost crying

" How dare those bastards try to provoke me, it's like they have a death wish, " Cassie said already more than angry

" Cassie you need to calm your nerves down before you explode, right now your bossy attitude isn't going to solve the problem we have right now, we have to think of a solution ASAP and after that, you can do whatever you want to do to them, see Cassie if you do not heed to my warnings the company is going to collapse and we are gonna start from the scratch again" Hazel warned, Cassie, rubbed her temples

" You can leave," she said to Hazel and Hazel left her office with a sigh, that was not something she had expected this morning.

" Gosh, what the f* ck is going on, " Cassie thought, she needed to fix this situation ASAP before it reach the ears of her dad. He would start his usual nagging, which was a lot for her to handle. Tch, such a horrible day.

I was sitting on my office chair comfortably checking the files that needed correction before signing when a call came in. I checked who called when I saw the caller, I picked up the call since it was an important one.

[Phone conversation]

Me: is the job complete

Unknown: yes it is

Me: good {call disconnected....}

That girl is just so hard to bring down, I had to spend billions of dollars for this to work. I opened a drawer and brought out a picture.

" I made you a promise Diane, I promised that I would avenge your death, and very soon that will happen, " I said out loud.

There was a commotion outside wondering what was wrong Isabella barged in.

" Alex, how dare you tell your secretary to tell me to wait outside " Isabella ranted as she barged inside my office which made me angry; I looked at my secretary who was already on the verge of tears giving me a pleading look.

"Sir, I tried talking to her, but ...." My secretary started to say but Isabella Interrupted her.

"Now get out of here," she said, my secretary looked at me and I gave her the signal to leave, it looked like I have given this sl*t a lot of freedom and now she was already misusing it.

" Would you shut up " I shouted and she did immediately.

" You just told me to shut up," she said looking shocked

" Now listen to me attentively, if you try what you did today next time, next time? what am I even saying, there is no next time, I no longer want to see you in my office anymore, your service is no longer needed sl*t and if you do come back I'll make sure to ruin your pathetic life, now get out you foolish woman " I said as I continued checking my files.

" A- al-Alex, pls don't do this to me am sorry " she pleaded

"Don't make me repeat my words, Isabella, 'cause you won't like it? " I said now

focusing on my files, the next thing I heard was the sound of the door opening and then closing.

I think I have had enough today, so I need to go home. I arranged my desk neatly and left the office.

[Willows mansion]

" What a surprise visit," mom said as she saw me

" Surprise visit? Mom, I do come here often " I said, rolling my eyes Internally.

" Often really? The last time you came Awhere was 3 months ago, so what do you want " mom asked

"Ouch mummy, I did not come here because I needed something from you, I came here because I missed you that's why, " I said faking tears

"Lol drama king, still surprised that you came to see me, so hard to believe, but still come give mama a hug," she said with a smile as she opened her arms for an embrace, I went to her and embraced her.

" Best mummy in the whole wide world," I said and pecked her.

I sw9itched on the TV and put it on a news station, the station was talking about the fast rate at which the stocks of Cassandra company were falling.

"Wow, this is so surprising, like the stocks of Owens' family company falling at this rate, this is bad, "mom said and that was what I wanted.

" I never expected this to happen to her even though she is 'JEZEBEL' at least she knows the in and out of business and she can do it well, hmm something must be wrong somewhere," my brother Miguel said as he came down the stairs, now time to hit the jackpot.

" What the f*ck are you doing here man, I expected you to be in your house with your wife acting all lovey-dovey, " I said.

" Am not getting married now " he said with a frown on his face.

" Stop flirting around, you both are no longer get getting young, you need to get married especially you Miguel, I need to see my grandkids very soon," mom said

" Now we are talking about marriage, mom I have someone I want to marry," I said

"Seriously, who? bring her home, wow am so happy, I hope it's not Isabella" mom said looking happy

" Isabella, h*ll no, I am done with her, well the person is ........" I said and paused for a while

" Jezebel I guess," Miguel said jokingly.

"Of course not, " mom said

" Yes, mummy she's the one I want to get married to, " I said.

Everywhere was quiet, my mom and bro were looking at me like I was insane.

" Are you sure you are ok, I was just joking " Miguel said

" Am pretty ok and yes I know you were joking, you were just fortunate to be correct?" I said now looking serious, of course, if I was not serious they would not believe me.

" Look Alexander I know you had a thing for her in the past, in fact I know the relationship between the both of you, Diane told me everything before she died, I don't want the same thing to happen to you again," mom said

" There are other girls out there that are better than her, why can't you just pick one," Miguel said

" I want her and that's final, mom, I want you and dad to help me send a contract deal to her dad, a marriage contract actually, in this contract you will allow her to choose between Miguel and me to make their company balance again," I said

" Don't you dare put me in this stupid game of yours " Miguel warned

"Chill bro, I know she will choose me," I said with a smile,

" How sure are you? " He asked

"100% sure " I assured.
