     Elena Rossi is the Name shaking the business World and popularly nicknamed 'The Ice Queen' in the business world, she is a perfectionist who will stop at nothing to get the best at everything, some say she was born into wealth hence she was able to achieve so much, others say she is a hard-working woman who had an eye for great investments,

   It has been two years now, let's just say the Tiana you knew before is no more, I am the stronger version of myself, my quest for revenge is what kept me going on for so long, I worked my butt off making a name for myself to get to where I am today, my grandfather was a huge help towards achieving my goals but my quest for Revenge was my greatest strength

     I changed my Name along with my personality and appearance, I choose to answer my grandfather's name so as not to attract too much attention to myself, sometimes I feel like I am betraying my father by refusing to answer his name but I am always assured by the thoughts of doing it for him, I parked my car in the underground parking lot, adjusting the sunglasses I walked into the building,
         
    
  "Good morning Miss Rossi" My PA greeted handing me my morning coffee,
     I took a sip sighing in relief, I walked into my office without acknowledging her greetings, she should have gotten used to it, Ellen is not weak like Tiana, she shuts everybody out to prevent anyone from coming in and breaking her heart,

  
      "Ma'am should I read out your schedule for today "
 "Not yet, you may go" I dismissed her, not in the mood to listen to anything,
           For the past two years, I have been preparing for the moment when I can finally have my enemies down on my feet, The final step of my plan was almost complete, and I can't wait to see the look on their faces when I had the final laugh.

       My jewelry company 'Elena's Choice' has been going so well, we make our jewelry from the finest materials but I need more investors to enhance my business, so I can expand to New York which is the first phase of my plan,

     I have not been in contact with anyone who has a connection with my past life, I feel so guilty I haven't contacted her for two years now, I miss Lily, and I know she will be upset with the fact that I haven't contacted her, I had to do this for her good, I don't want her involved in this mess I am in, at least until I am strong enough I looked at my phone on the desk, I picked up the ringing my phone, after glancing at the caller.

"How is the plan going?"

"Great Ma They fell for the bait like you said ma'am " I smirk I knew they would, greedy people are the most easily manipulated people in the world,

"Well keep on buying the company stocks and investing enough money in the company "  

"Yes Ma'am " I cut the call with a beep,

      I knew those dogs won't care to find out the source of the money but kept accepting it  anyway, I thought the bitch was smart, this is going better than I planned,

 "Welcome to New York Ma'am, I am Carrie Jean your PA " I turned to see a young lady in her late twenties approaching me with a bright smile, offering a handshake which I refused, 

"You are late " I groan

"Am so sorry ma'am, please accept my deepest apology "

"What the hell am I supposed to do with your apology " she put her head down in shame, she should be she had me waiting when she was supposed to be here 30mins ago, how unprofessional, like my motto says time is money and I already wasted 30mins doing nothing,

"If you want to work with me for a long time, you should know,  firstly I hate tardiness, Just take my bags I have wasted enough time already," I said harshly handing them to her
"Sorry ma'am " She took the bags
"Will you stop fucking apologizing already" I just had a 13hours flight from Italy to London, and I am feeling jet lag and a little bit cranky

 Maybe a lot of cranky my subconscious added

"Where is the car," I asked as with walked out of the airport and towards the parking lot,

"Right this way ma'am "

     We got into the car and drove off, I glanced out the window staring at the familiar city that was filled with the memories of my good times and bad times, my friends and enemies,

        The city is where I lost a lot of loved ones too, my mom, my dad, my grandmother, and my birthright,

 Well not for long, I am here to collect what rightly belongs to me,
    

 __________

 "Come in" I yelled, sorting out the documents for our new product and the opening of our office branch here in New York,
"Excuse me ma'am " I looked up to see my PA, with the way she was timidly glancing at me, I could tell she was here with some sort of bad news,

"Out with it already" I groan, having enough of the suspense,

"We couldn't secure any major distributors here in New York ma'am," she said,

"And why the hell not, our brand is no 1 in Italy and other parts of the world, they must have heard about our brand name and success, so why the hell could you not secure even one distributor here in New York!!" I yelled banging the table in anger, she flinched in shock,  

"Because the main distributors here in New York refused our deal, other major distributors too, the only distributors available are the local distributors who can only offer gross profit" she explained

"What the fuck am I going to do with gross profit, why the hell are they refusing to work with me," I asked, this is a really big problem for my company, my New York branch won't be successful if I can't secure good distributors
"The problem ma'am " She hesitated for a while before answering,

"your marital status Ma'am "

"What!!!!"
