1 Arrival

New York, La Guardia airport.

The runway at the airport was still damp from the slight drizzle which just stopped a few moments ago as a private jet landed in the landing strip of La Guardia arriving from Paris.

As soon as the jet landed the officials present at the airport at that moment went ahead to welcome the person who had arrived.

Lewis, the highest ranked official present there almost ran to get to the jet before its gates opened,

He had no clue as to who the person arriving was and just why was that person so damn important but his boss, who kept on calling him about three times in a single day, kind of gave him a vague idea that the person was probably some kind of bigshot, plus his boss was also kind enough to tell him that if he messed this up he would be saying goodbye to his sweet job, that is why when he saw that the gates were just going to open he literally made a run to be present there when the person inside got out.

Just before the gates were opened, around fifteen bodyguards suddenly arrived from god knows where and formed two neat lines.

The gates opened as the pilots got off and Lewis held his breath as he saw her emerging from the exit.

Standing at a height of 5'5, with the perfect figure for which many women would kill for, her honey-brown hair was casually let down as they embraced her small face.

Dressed in a black full-sleeved top with a brown knee-length skirt with a series of buttons in front of it, she could pass simply as a rich woman at first glance, but when she comes closer, you can see her aura which screams authority and demands respect.

And she has and receives both, Lewis was pretty sure about this much after watching her even for a second.

Walking behind her is a young boy of around five years who also looked cute in his blue tee with brown cargo shorts. His eyes were the first feature that stood him apart from the rest, well except his jet black hair. His eyes were green in color, like emeralds and they seemed to shine even in the tiniest bit of light.

As soon as the woman reached the end of the ladder with the child's hand in her hand, all the previously stationed bodyguards stood more upright as a loud address of "Welcome Master Belmont" was given.

And that is when Lewis recognized her as none other than the mysterious person who kept on slaying the ranks in the world's top richest individuals, while her influence may not be much here in the USA, rest of the world is a different story altogether, she has power in most of the countries worldwide and now she is here to add another place into her list of triumphs.

Ivy Crompton Belmont, the lady who just descended from the jet gave them a nod of acknowledgement before she looked down to her son who was still holding her hand, smiling sweetly at him she asked him,

"Still sleepy James baby?"

Her son, the light of her life returned her smile with a blinding smile of his own as he replied to her,

''No mom, I think I slept way too much on the plane."

At this moment, Lewis went forward as he presented his hand for a greeting while addressing her,

"Good evening Miss Belmont, I hope that you had a nice and comfortable flight, please wait here for a moment as we finish your immigration and your car is brought to you."

Ivy also shook his hand before nonchalantly replying that she was fine and that he should hurry back to his work.

As Lewis left, he quickly turned back once again to look at the legendary woman who was one of the most powerful and influential individuals in the world as he thought about the storms which were surely going to hit this country soon enough all due to this young lady.

Not a minute had passed and the car quickly arrived, as one of the bodyguard held the back door open, Ivy and James quickly got inside as the rest of the bodyguards followed them in their other vehicles.

Sitting in the back seat of the car, Ivy gazed outside to the place where she was born but did not think that she will return when she left with her son three years ago.

This was the place which had given her all of her heartbreaks and this time she was back, as a stronger and powerful person who will not be a coward in front of others because this time she will not let anyone judge her or her son.

She is here to settle everything for once and for all.

Looking beside her, she saw his son once again falling into a deep sleep. She took the extra throw blanket kept in the car as she covered James with it and softly caressed his face.

Not a day goes by that she does not thank god for giving him her son, the only person who kept her going when she deep in the dark.

Looking outside once again, her mind started to wander off to the events which had forced her to leave this city as the rain once again started.
