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

28. Secrets over Lies

When we arrived at the mansion, Uncle Angus and Brenda stood by the door with bright smiles in their faces. Merrylia gave a small smile and was greeted with a warm embrace.

"Oh my child, where have you been?" Brenda said, ushering us to come in.

"I just had some business to take care of. How is the mansion?"

"It's taken care of. The remaining intruders were silenced and no word came out about it. The broken furniture sets were replaced and the broken statues in the garden were removed with the help of Gilbert and Magnus." Uncle Angus replied with a smile.

"Enough of that, come with me, dinner is already prepared." We entered the dining hall which was now a bit more crowded than the last time I had dined in it.

When I looked closely, I saw that Damian was already eating.

"And what are you doing here?" Merrylia gestured at Damian who immediately tensed up. "W-well I uh..."

"Speak."
