1. Her Bottom Line

Andeliz Vixen Leonard couldn't pinpoint the situation right now as she tried to get a hold of herself inside her luxurious office. Being the youngest CEO of a multi-international chain of hotel and restaurant businesses, she was the target of endless strifes and betrayals. Many thought she was just a spoiled, money-spender heiress and would soon bring doom to her father's legacy. But under her delicate facade and heart-stopping beauty lies a sleeping lioness. At the tender age of 15, as the only heiress to VixLog hotel and restaurant group of companies, she had to take over the ever-growing and flourishing business of her dad. VixLog underwent a major transformation upon Andeliz's takeover. She specifically targeted all the stockholders, who were doing underhanded and illegal dealings, buying their stocks on the spot making VixLog a family-owned multi-international business, which was a first in the history of the business world. Now, Andeliz's name turns even the coldest business men break into a sweat whenever her name is mentioned. She was a natural born business genius meant to rule the economy and commerce. She was homeschooled until her dad decided to send her to Harvard's School of Business, where she finished her master's and PhD. She later came back to rescue the almost-bankrupt VixLog company due to the mishandling of the only person she thought she could lean on. Ben Ford Ax was Andeliz's betrothed. They started way back in their diapers. Their parents shared a special bond that eventually went on to arranging a marriage between their dumplings. Ben was good at everything. He dazzled everyone that came his way - both women and men. But he had eyes only for his one and only soon-to-be-bride, Andeliz Vixen Leonard. However, what could have led him to kill the father of his most beloved woman? Andeliz couldn't help her eyes from watering as her heart begins to fill with agony and pain. She never thought that the man she loved would hurt her this way. With a vengeful glint in her eyes, she vowed to herself to get justice for her dad. Her parents and Ben were her bottom line. Anyone who dares to cross that line, be it her closest ally or confidante, she shows no mercy!

"Flordeliz, I'm just here. Take a deep breath. We practiced this many times in the seminar for childbearing. Please be strong for our princess." Logan Arman Leonard said as he stared with his heart aching at his beautiful wife on the labour bed. He was at VixLog company, when he received a call from the butler that the Young Madame was in labour at the Pristine Hospital. Right away, he called for the company driver and rushed to the hospital. His wife, Flordeliz Maine Drew Lane is the beloved daughter of business tycoons Mr. Herbert Drake Lane and Mrs. Elizabeth Drew Lane. They held power in both Information Technology and the Fashion World. They had two children, Bert Grant Jr. Drew Lane, who took over their IT business and Flordeliz Maine Drew Lane, who went on to take over the fashion world for her mother. It was in a discussion with Flordeliz's brother over a hotel project involving information technology that Logan Arman Leonard met the dazzling lady of the fashion world and only princess of the Lane group, Flordeliz Maine Drew Lane, visiting her brother. It was an immediate attraction for both. All throughout the meeting, they only had eyes for each other. Flordeliz refused to go out when her brother asked her to go to his office lounge to rest, saying that she might have some input on whatever the two had to talk about. Bert Grant Jr., spoiled his sister this way. Once she says she's not going, she mustn't be provoked or WW3 will begin. Logan didn't mind because he was love struck for the first time in 28 years of his life. He had never met someone so breathtakingly beautiful and smart and it was in the person of his best friend's sister. That's right, Bert Grant Jr. and Logan Arman Leonard are bosom friends. They were inseparable. They did everything together. It was when they both turned eight that Bert's parents decided to migrate to the USA. At this time, both sides didn't know that Bert's mom was pregnant with Flordeliz Maine. Thus, no one knew of her existence until she turned 18, debuting her into society as the young princess and heiress of the Lane group. At this time, Logan, who was busy growing his hotel and restaurant business hadn't get wind of this international news, missing the chance to get even a glimpse of his future bride.

At the hospital,

"Lo--gan, smile! Please smile for me. Then, I...I..w---ill g-ive bi-rth to our most beau---tiful and a---dorable prin---cess." Flordeliz painstakingly said as she gritted her teeth. She had been in labour for almost an hour. But her stubborn baby just won't come out. It was when Logan entered that the baby decided to show itself to its parents and the world. "Now, we know why the baby refused to come out and it's because it wanted both parents to welcome her into the world," mused Dr. Hector with a smile. Flordeliz and Logan named their princess - Andeliz Vixen Lane Leonard.
