The Scheming Duo

Eira had no shares in the company.

This was the rumor circulating in the venue.

'Has she been removed from the family?', thought the people, who were interested in tying Eira to their family through marriage, threw a disgusted look at her.

Another followed that, Eira has not graduated due to psychological problems she faced after her parents death.

...…

Both mother and daughter were happy after spreading the rumors. They walked towards Eira, who was unbothered by the rumors.

"Eira, how have you been?" asked Sara with a kind smile plastered on her plastic face.

Eira looked at her aunt, and ignored her as she picked up a glass of wine, it was not the one she fancied, she preferred very old wines.

Martin glared at his aunt, he hated her.

Sara and Anna were stunned to see the two brats ignoring them.

"I know you blame us for what happened to you and your family. Why don't you come back home, you must not have a place to live right now, as you just got back to the country ?" Sara asked.

"No thanks, she already has a castle and mansion on her name" Martin glanced at his aunt and sniggered.

Sara widened her eyes, as the news sunk in her thick head.

She clenched her hands, she had forgotten that her mother's family was also there.

Anna was stunned, looks like her cousin sister still had everything, no problem she will snatch everything.

Anna smiled,

"But New year is nearing, we should celebrate the occasion together in the main mansion, no?" Anna asked as she played with her curls.

"Of course, I will celebrate New Year in MY main mansion" Eira replied and turned to walk away from the duo, she was not here to have any exchange with her aunt and cousin, she was here to let everyone know that she was alive and back to take the company.

Martin followed her.

With the number of shares her father left with anonymous names were in her hands and she had already started buying many small shares of the company, now her shares were around 25%, which was a lot. Her Uncle had only 36% including his family, other members had less than 5%. The highest shareholder was her uncle.

She was the largest shareholder but because of her unsound mind due to her parents death made her a puppet in the hands of her relatives and she had lost all the shares.

The party began with the speech of the President of the Wilsons, her uncle and then many speeches then the product was launched.

After everything and celebration the dinner was served.

She looked at the food on her plate, the aromatic smell of food filled the air, she breathed the steam produced by the food and she detected a whiff of chemicals from her food.

She smirked as she guessed it was amphetamine, this drug can cause hallucinations, fever, sweating, shivering, fast heart rate, muscle stiffness, twitching, loss of coordination, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. So, the duo wanted her to embarrass herself in front of all the high society people and the media. What a nice plan.

She looked up to look at the duo, who were gazing at herself and smiling, Eira returned a small smile as she took the bite of her steak which was filled with a lot of amphetamine. She quickly finished her plate and walked to the restroom and took a pill which reduced the effects of the amphetamine in her system.

She had lived 5 years with poisonous herbs and chemicals, she knew a lot about them, and she could make an antidote for all kind of poisons and drugs, amphetamine was a small not harmful kind of drug in front of her.

She called Martin's men in the garden and asked for the same drug, which he bought in a few minutes, now the people were socializing while drinking wine.

She asked the man to give it to a fellow man who was dressed as waiters in the venue, and asked him to feed it to the duo.

She entered the elevator and rested in a room she had booked in the hotel, letting the duo enjoy the victory of their failed plan.

Sara and Anna were looking for Eira with smiles plastered on their faces.

"I think because of the drug she might have felt nauseous, so she went to the restroom" Anna guessed.

Sara nodded, agreeing to her daughter's words.

Anna gestured to her men to look for Eira, in every corner of the venue, they needed her to be in the public when she lost control of herself.

...…

Matriarch Emma was sitting in her study room, studying the documents of the Wilson company.

"Matriarch, the party in Country W has begun and many rumors about Princess are spreading in high society" the secretary said.

"Hmm, let the Princess handle those small things" Emma continued reading her documents, she looked as if she was unbothered by the party in Country W, but only she knew her heart was slamming on her chest as she was too worried about her granddaughter.

"Matriarch, I also got a video of Princess playing the el cariño in the party" the secretary showed the iPad to Emma, playing the video of Emma playing the piano.

She dismissed the secretary, as she tightened her fingers around the iPad.

The secretary left the Matriarch.

Her eyes watered and her heart almost jumped out of her chest, the tears fell from her eyes like waterfall, her head was filled with the beautiful moments of her life with her husband.

One of the biggest truths in life is death and saying goodbye to the loved ones is very difficult.

On the tragic day she lost her husband and her son and daughter-in-law.

Memories of them flooded her head as her body trembled as the music hit the climax and she threw the iPad stopping the music, her body trembled violently and she passed out in the study.

The music had triggered her emotions which were buried deep within her heart.
