Festus could feel the suffocating environment surrounding him. He dared not look into his master's eyes.

He had been scared out of wits the moment he took a glance at his Master. Cold chills ran down his spine. He felt like he was forced to eat venom and immediately his throat went dry from the sharp light that exuded from those eyes.

"So scary...." He said inwardly. "I better prepare for the worse."

"Who does he thinks he is? It's over two hours yet he's not here." Williams said. He already turned red from anger.

"Baaaaaaang!" Williams angrily hit the table.

"How irresponsible can they be?"

"Master please be calm, their journey to this place may be interrupted but..." 

"Oh really. Am I the one who had a smooth arrangement to this place? Don't let me descend on your madness!"  Williams yelled angrily, interrupting Festus.

"I'm sorry Master." Festus said bowing his head in apology.

In less than no time,Mr.Smith arrived.

"I'm sorry for the lateness. I had an emergency meeting in my company and had no choice but to attend to it first." Smith explained as soon as he sat down.

Williams did not react to Mr. Smith's apology. He just sat with a blank face,sipping champagne from the glass cup.

"I thought it would have been fairer to meet with our children. At least they should see themselves." Williams said.

"That's not a good idea." Smith replied.

" We have to officially sign the agreement, so go through these documents. My lawyer will be here in a jiffy." Mr. Smith said handing over a big brown envelope to Mr.Williams.

"This is absurd." Mr. Williams let out angrily after going through the documents."This wasn't our agreement."

"What exactly?"

"Why should it be a secret marriage. Hidden from the people and just between our families."

"That...." Smith said with an evil grin. The marriage is on, till you pay your debts. Why? What will people say when the see the Smiths with the Williams. That's ludicrous!"

"Williams......."

"The marriage will only be on paper, she will be kept hidden from the public but she will be taken care of, I assure you. But If you don't want it, you pay the money. $80 billion. Get that straight!" Smith said on top of his voice.

Williams face darkened. He  slowly clenched his fist with  and felt a strong urge to punch the arrogant man before him. He had always felt he would be an in-law to the Smiths. And you know what that means?The affluence, The fame,status, ahh, surely, different rich companies will want to partner with him. And he will slowly gain power in the society and what's that secret wish? To slowly overthrow the Smiths at last!

Williams smiled at his evil plans but slowly his lips curved into a defeated smile as he was jolted back to reality. So it was just a dream that won't be fulfilled after all.

"I have no other option than to sign the contract." 

"Festus......."

"You're smart Williams." Smith sneered. "Bring in the lawyer."

"Yes Sir." Andy, Smith's confidant said bowing respectfully before he left the room to fetch the Lawyer.

               *******************

Albert decided to take a ride in town. He usually do this to flaunt his assets. He enjoys seeing girls falling at his feet. Girls ready to give themselves to him. Yes,why wouldn't they? He's handsome and rich. Women are just toys to be played with,so he can do whatever he wants with them. 

On this day as usual, he left with his right hand man:John in his red Ferrari car which was in the middle of a line of magnificent cars. His father would not want to hear an odd news about his son, so he insisted that he tag along with bodyguards. He looked through the tinted windows admiring the surroundings. Suddenly,his eyes caught an amazing figure. Slender with seductive curves.She had a blonde hair and an angelic face. Her eyes, nose, cherry lips, jawline was perfectly created. Her footsteps was breathtaking as well.

"Stop!" He ordered. "Fetch that girl across the road."

John left the car with security guards to fetch the beauty as ordered.As he moved closer,he felt his breath getting hitched. He couldn't believe there could be such a lady. He could bet that her creator took time to curve her into an amazing figure. She was indeed a special person.

"Excuse me young lady." John said not minding the  ogling eyes and whispers of the people (especially the ladies) around them.

"What can I do for you?" The lady asked without batting an eye.

John was stunned for a moment. The angelic voice that hit his ears almost drove him crazy. What more? He could attest that this person was a no nonsense lady. She didn't care about the outlook of the person standing before her nor the mighty, fearsome bodyguards that surrounded him. Normally, girls always try to get his attention each time he steps out of the car, even though he's not the boss. But this young lady seemed indifferent about all of that.

"There must be something special about her." He almost voiced out,but he maintained a cold look. "The Young Master of the Smiths corporation wants to speak with you."
