The Dragon Lady

The Dragon Lady Qalif Loward is a man filled with good manners and dark secrets. His charm laid on his gentle features and green warm eyes. He was the kind man you would not expect to work under the most ruthless, powerful, and fiercest business woman in the industry. He was the man who stood behind Merrylia Selene Desilvia, the woman who hacked her way to the top with her terrifyingly intelligent mind, manipulative ways, and bold braveness. She dominated with an iron fist, making men and women alike quake before her dark eyes. Step by step she is making her way to her rightful throne while a waging war surfaced before him and her. They both had their secrets, and its bound to catch up with them. . . . . . . Merrylia Selene Desilvia is the epitome of intimidation. She was richest and most powerful young billionaire who conquered the business world by storm. Her past is a mystery and so is her enemies. Trust is a rotten meat on her tongue, a word she would not apply to anyone as she fought her way to the top, not even to the gentleman who calls himself a secretary. Qalif Loward is an open soul with a closed past. Behind his gentleness is a dark memory he tries his best to hide, even when it's catching up to him as he devotes himself to his work as a secretary; a seemingly harmless job. Qalif is about to realize that the world of trade doesn't limit itself in the four corners of the office. There is more to business than files and lunch meetings, and he might just end up being the nightmare he had once been and worked so hard to avoid. "We both have a dark past, mine just started even before I was born." - Qalif Loward

10. She Was Harmed

I was standing at the end of the hallway with my phone in hand, dialling my father's phone. I threw a glance at the closed door where Merrylia was being tended to as I waited for the call to be answered.

The doctor who arrived was a man on his late fifties with a hard expression on his face. Mr. Arden seemed to know his way around the house as I saw him head straight to Merrylia's room without assistance.

The phone rang many times before my father answered and greeted me with a worried voice.

"Where are you? It's already 9:00 pm young man. Just because you're a male doesn't mean that I would let you wander around at this late hour! Tell me where you are. I'm going to pick you up-"

"I'm at my boss's house, Dad. Calm down. She collapsed this afternoon and I had to take care of her."

The other line went silent and all I could hear was my father's deep breaths.

"Are you coming home tonight?" He said, this time in a much calmer tone.
