chapter 4

She saw the picture of herself in the past when she was still weak and dependent. The caption under it read "Do You Think A Weak Woman Can Handle A Corporation?"

The news questioned her ability as a CEO saying she is a woman and will remain one.

Immediately, Ariella released a video of herself saying "to whosoever is trying to ruin my reputation just so you know that was me in my past if I can't handle the corporation I built myself, it won't last up to five years and still counting. To the public kindly dismiss any thoughts of me being incapable as the board members can bear me witness"

And that was it the news went down as it came up. People came to her defense immediately and shaded whosoever it was trying to pull her down.

Linda on finding out that it has died down wasn't happy with the news because she was the one who hinted the press. " How did she manage to get out of this?" She wondered. She was very bitter about the outcome of her plan

Rodriguez's brother Romano who was glad when a scandal came out concerning his brother because he knows then that he would have more chances to be the CEO was down cast when he heard that his brother's name has been cleared and that the issue earned him more recognition in the business world.

Although he didn't know who took the picture, he was content because it was to his favor but now things have turned again. He then decided that he has to do something fast or else he'd be his brother's shadow forever which he can't allow to happen.

Without wasting time, Linda started thinking of what next to do. Her satisfaction will be after Ariella is down totally. Until then, she won't give up easily. She needs to find something more incriminating to pull her down.

She immediately called Capo an old acquaintance of her's and said " I need a favor from you. When can we meet?"

Romano got home still feeling dejected. On getting home is wife Seren saw his countenance and asked him" honey what's wrong?". He had explained the current situation before leaving home and she expected him to come home with a smile that he is in the better chance of being the CEO now that his brother is involved in a scandal.

Romano narrated the day's event on how the scandal has been cleared and his brother has risen even higher than before. She was shocked as she definitely didn't see that coming. She got annoyed and told her husband that " for how long will you be under your brother and wait for an opportunity to take his place. You are not a dog to take his leftovers. We need to create an opportunity ourselves not waiting for a chance to appear. What If it takes forever?"

" Hmmm... What you said made complete sense I am the rightful owner of that position but then what can I do to make the board of directors vote him out?" He asked. Seren smiled and said " that's not a problem at all we need to make the board members disappointed in him and you stake your position and claim it straight away".

Romano pondered on how to make his brother disappoint the board members but Seren asked him not to worry that she's going to sort it all our in due time.

Seren spoke to some of her friends in the brothel she came from and said to them" how far girls I need your help" and so she hatched a plan with them.

Meanwhile Linda has already made a plan with Capo on what to do. So she set out to hatch her plan. She used a burner phone to text Ariella posing as Gabby. She told Ariella to come to Piccadilly's hotel bar that her phone was switched off and she wanted to tell her something important.

Romano swallowed his pride following Seren's plans and went to Rodriguez's house telling him to let them go to a hotel to take drinks in success of the scandal being suppressed. Rodriguez who was innocent decided to follow him to cool off after the days stress.

Ariella not knowing what was wrong heeded to the message immediately wondering why Linda wanted to see her urgently. She went to the bar of the hotel and ordered for a drink while waiting for Gabby."where is this girl that told me it is urgent now?" She wondered.

Unknown to her, Linda had paid the bartender to drug her drinks and she sipped it while trying the number Gabby used to text her. After few minutes she started feeling dizzy and lightheaded. Linda chose the moment to act like a good friend and approached Ariella.

She then acted compassionate and approached her saying "Ari girl what are you doing here? let me take you to your room it's not good to stay here alone". Knowing fully well that she can't respond. So she led her to room 126 which the Capo told her. She laid her on the bed and carefully went out smiling devilishly, she called Capo" my part is done remains your part"

Romano and Rodriguez were chatting in the bar when Rodriguez got a call. While he turned his back, his brother slipped in drugs to his drink. Rodriguez came back and they resumed the conversation.

Not quite long afterwards, Rodriguez started slurring his words and his brother smiled. Seren has texted him to take his brother to room 126 and leave him there. He followed her instructions and he got to the room it was dark and so he left him in the room not knowing someone was there and he left.

When Rodriguez got to the bed, he felt someone with him and he smiled he opened his eyes and saw a beautiful lady and due to some sex enhancement pills added to the drug, he became horny on seeing her half naked on the bed. Ariella also opened her eyes and she smiled at the man and said to him " fulfil your fantasies on me" and since he couldn't control himself they did it all night.

Linda was very happy to hear that Capo has sent his men to do the job. She has already alerted the press and they immediately swung into action as they were hungry for news.

Seren immediately contacted a blog site and gave them a tip to a great story. She gave them the location and kept her fingers crossed waiting for the happy news she expected the next morning.

Ariella woke up to severe pounding on the door and she said "Gabby why are you banging on my door like this". Then she remembered that she went to meet Gabby at a hotel bar, she also wondered why her bed smelt different and why she was naked and feeling pains in between her legs. With this thoughts racing through her mind, she opened her eyes and saw the back of a man.

She immediately shot up and a sharp pain pierced through her legs. She immediately tapped the man while fidgeting wondering why she was naked on a bed with a man.

Rodriguez felt someone frantically tapping him and he opened his eyes in annoyance to see himself naked on the bed with a woman.

On seeing one another's faces, they were surprised to see themselves naked on the bed together. The pounding on the door continued which snapped the both of them out of their reverie.

They shot up together and Rodriguez was still wondering what happened to them.

"Who are you and why will you take advantage of me like this?" Ariella asked. Rodriguez felt offended and replied immediately" I should be the one asking you that question "

Before they continued their arguments, they were interrupted by the banging on the door. They decided to dress up and see what's causing the commotion outside the door.

On opening the door....
