Always

Thine Legacy, Stolen By Avidity

-As she sat in front of him, the tension between them was palpable. It had been building ever since she could remember, but now it has reached its peak the moment she was about to resume her duties as heir of her father's empire. Her uncle, the one who she called a living disease, has now turned into being one of the seven deadly sins, as he accused her of stealing his empire. "do you simply think...that you can just waltz in here and take what's rightfully mine?" she jeered, as she interlocked her fingers "don't threaten me..uncle! This is my father's wish! and it's my duty to fulfil it"

-He looked at her as he laughed maniacally. "look at you...being so aggressive and protective for something that isn't yours" he deadpanned, as he leaned forward "I came here..and asked you politely..to step down and give me what is rightfully mine..niece!" She bristled at his words, but she refuses to back down. "listen uncle...I didn't ask for any of this! but I will never let you speak to me..as if I'm a trash in your hand!" she dared, as she sharply looked at him "Jessica is already here..and she just handed all of the Information about the companies...I'm ready to resume my duties..as of today..uncle!"

-Jackson scoffed and looked at Jessica "did she now?" he gibed and turned to look at Freen "I've already instructed her..to give you a letter of resignation..dear niece...so I'd suggest to take a look at the pad in front of you!" Freen's eyes widened, as her throat dried. She opened the pad and was shocked about the letter that she read. Angrily she slammed her hand on the table, causing Jessica to jump. "How..fucking dare you..Jessica! do you actually know who I am!" she burst angrily, and shifted her gaze towards her uncle "I'm not going to sign this uncle! nothing on this planet would force me to do so! cease this!" Jackson chuckled and asked Jessica to wait outside so he can have a private discussion.

-The moment she stepped out and closed the door behind her, Jackson crossed his legs and glance at Freen evilly "Freen...your parents are gone...and it is my duty as your uncle..to take care of you and your father's empire" he said "and I don't want to take this matter to court..so I am asking you..as your uncle..to cooperate with me!" Freen gasped the moment she heard his words, she didn't know that her uncle knew about her family death. Questions began to formed in her mind, as how he did know about the accident in question? She began to speculate and wonder if he was behind all of this! But unfortunately, she doesn't have any prove, nor nothing. However, an idea just popped in her mind. She decided to play along and try to unconsciously make him spill the beans.

-She sat down, and worryingly looked at him. "u-uncle..h-how did you know!" she stuttered, as her eyes formed tears "I-I thought..I was the only one..who knew about this matter" Jackson heaved a sigh and shook his head "I received a message from your father" he gulped, while lowering his head "he told me that something had happened to the plane...and they are flying to an unknown location" Freen raised her brow, as she was trying to study his expressions. He wiped his tear, and looked at her "I know..that I've should've said something about what happened..but I didn't want Jessica to know about this matter" he sighed, while taking the pad that was in front of her "listen niece...give me what I want...let us end this matter without drawing so much attention to us"

-Freen shook her head, and took a deep breath "uncle..I can't do this" she emphasised, as she glanced at her father's portrait "I can't..fail him...I can't fail my family" He groaned and placed the pad on the table "Freen! this is the last time..that I will ask you to step down!" he threatened as he stood up "you either..sign the letter or..the court is waiting for you...and trust me you won't like the outcome of this!" Freen stood up and sharply looked at him "I will fight back uncle! all of this is mine to own! you have nothing!" she yelled as she flip the pad "see you in court...as I promise you..I will leave with everything"
