Imana, a young mother, made a bold decision when Brayson and Blyana were only a year old. She knew that staying with their family would cause irreparable damage to her beloved twins. She ran away with them.
Fourteen years had passed since Tobias' t...
“Oh come on, it’s not that heavy.” I look at the guard. I pick up the bag with ease and his eyes widen. I roll my eyes and walk past him.
It’s literally a duffel bag with my weapons.
I’m going back to New York today. I’m finally able to travel but I still have to be careful of my ribs and how I move. Anyway, I bought a house there and Miles already has guards surrounding the whole area.
Cameras are installed everywhere, drones hover around the area and all that other top tier shit.
“Where the hell are you going?” I turn and see Vincent. “Oi! Stop moving!” He shouted at the guard who had my suitcase. The guard looked at me, “Keep going.” He nodded and walked out of the house.
“What the hell-”
“What do you want, Vincent?” I looked at him annoyed. “Where are you going? Who are those people?” He asked. “I’m going to New York for work and those people are none of your business.”
“Are you going because of your stupid empire?” He laughed and I just stared at him. "Your ribs still need to heal and you can't go anywhere without doctor's permission." He shrugged.
"If you did follow us to the hospital you would know that I'm allowed to travel now. And for your information, I don't need anyone's permission to go anywhere. Not even your stupid doctor."
I gave him a fake smile.
He just stared at me.
"Tell mum and Brayson that I've gone to New York." I walked away from him and made my way outside.
I never understood Vincent. It was like he cared but didn't at the same time. It's confusing but annoying as fuck. Pick a side already.
Time skip…
"How long are you going to be in New York?" Corbin asked over the phone. "2 weeks or more, I dunno yet. I have a lot of shit to do." I sighed, getting out of the plane and walking towards Wilder's car.
"Are we doing this then?" He asked and I kept quiet. I got into the car, "Blyana, they’re not gonna leave us alone. We need to give them an answer." I sigh.
"Do you want to do it? Do you want to get married?" I mumbled so Wilder wasn't listening. "I should be asking you that question." He laughed. "Yes, I want to get married to you." I smiled.
"Okay, we'll do it then."
"Okay then, I'll tell my parents and they will probably talk to yours." I hummed. "I'll speak to you later." I said seeing that we were getting closer to my house. "Bye, love." The call was cut and Wilder entered through a huge gate. I put my phone in my jacket and I saw the house fully.
It's literally a mansion.
“Here you are Miss Clarke. I will be back in two hours to pick you up.” I nodded at him and got out of his car, closing the door behind me. The guards that were at their post had taken my things from the boot and walked inside.
I followed them, “Where would you like us to keep your things, Miss Clarke?” one of them asked. “Just keep them here, I'll take them up myself.” I told him and they all nodded, walking back out.
The front door was closed and I looked around smiling.
Time skip…
“It’s nice to have you back, Miss Clarke.” Miles smiled and I nodded. “It’s only been 2 weeks.” I said, walking into the building with him beside me. “How has everything been?” I nodded at the workers who bowed their heads to me.
“Everything has been under control apart from the fact that the senior workers wanted to see you.” I stopped in my tracks and so did he. “Me? Why?” I asked. “Well, they wanted to finally see who Darren gave this empire to.” he smiled.
“Are you happy?” I asked him and his eyebrows furrowed in confusion. “Um, I’m neutral. Why may you ask?” he asked. “You smiled a lot.” He laughed. “Darren said I should smile more and I did. I guess it’s a habit now.” He shrugged, smiling… again.
“Of course it’s Darren.” I mumbled.
I continued walking, “Where are they now?” I asked, opening my office door. “Were here,” I looked up and saw two men and a woman. “My apologies, Miss Clarke. I asked them to wait outside but I guess they made themselves comfortable.” Miles said.
“No, It’s fine Miles. You can go now.” I looked at him and he nodded. I walked in and closed the door. “The famous Miss Clarke is finally here.” One of the men stood up and smirked.
“Now I see why Darren gave you the empire.” the other man stood up as well, smirking. I looked at them up and down as well as walking past them. I sat down in my chair which was behind my desk.
“What can I do for you then?” I asked, looking at the woman.
“We were meant to see you last week but Miles had told us something serious had happened and you were in London.” One of the men said and I looked at him with raised eyebrows. “Ah, let me introduce myself. Arzachel Aba, senior fighter and one of Darren’s best friends.”
“Asher Jordan, senior hacker and also one of Darren’s best friends.” The other guy smiled, sitting down. I looked at the woman, “Are you his girlfriend? Wife?” I asked and she laughed. “Far from that. Naya Forest, senior weaponry force and his arch nemesis.”
I raised my eyebrows, “Arch nemesis?” She nodded. “We never liked each other but our families were best friends and forced me to work with him.” she shrugged. I hummed, nodding.
“We know everything about you.” I looked at Arzachel. “Darren told us that you will be the new ruler of his empire. We asked him why and he just replied saying that he only trusts you with it.”
“Yes, he did terrible things to you and your mother but he saw you as his daughter.” Asher said. “We know everything he did to you. To be honest, we were mad at him for doing something so cruel to a child.” Naya said and I sighed.
“Even though what he did was terrible, we understood why and see why.” Arzachel smirked. “You're a strong woman and in power. You have his power and the protection everyone else is hungry for.” Asher smiled.
“You could say you are Darren’s daughter.”
I snapped my head to Naya, “I am not his daughter and I never will be.” I glared at her and she smiled, looking at the other two men. “Darren taught her well.” Asher and Arzachel laughed.
“He did. I guess our best friends weren't always cruel.”
I rolled my eyes.
They can fuck off.
