Mara's Pov

Claire was sent to the mental hospital. That was where I found out, she was already a patient. She ran away two and half years before. She runs away to come and kill her sister and the father of her only child. I say that because I had Delvis investigate her claims. It was true. Claire Ofori is my mother. My real birthday was in March not in April. I put the dots together and realised that April was the month I was stolen from her. I felt guilt and hatred for her. She was my mother but it gave her no right to kill the woman who provided all those years. I still hated Clara and Christopher for what they did, but the love I had for them wouldn't run out and I was terrified.

I packed up the papers and went to my closet for my bag and headed out. Today was 'company clash', a ritual my dad and mom-auntie used to do. They'd have all the companies in all sectors come to one big hall in the headquarters to tell how far they went and the challenges faced. All those things were monitored,  just that sometimes, the focus was pushed on the close ones. That's what I have been doing lately. It's been five months since my mum was admitted to the mental hospital. I hated the fact that I loved her as Aunt Claire and now had to call her mother. Which I didn't say out loud. I visited every week. We'd stare at each other for minutes before we'd speak. She'd always end up crying and me screaming at her. I was always dragged away. The pain was becoming unbearable each day. I didn't notice things going on. Like the results finally coming out. I had passed well but nobody was around to handle the company. I was stuck alone again. Yes, Delvis was around each day. But he refused to learn about the company's ways or even get close. He would just watch me do it and make love to me. I loved the sex and all but my problems were too much to handle. Devi was still exploring and spending. I cut her off immediately it was too much for me. She transferred enough money because I had not heard from her. She didn't even call to as of Claire. She never called. I was confused and angry about her attitude but the pain from losing both mothers was too much. I decided to let her go. I wanted to be independent and carefree. But some things are never achieved smoothly,  are they?...

I got to the office to see lots of people, cars and so much noise. I walked into the area confidently. They hushed immediately I passed by them but would go back to murmuring when I passed by. I walked into my office and prepped myself. My secretary,  Jane, knocked on my door. "Come in Jane," I said. She entered quietly and raised her head, with a soft smile. "Erm, Miss Mara, I just wanted to inform you that, the people are ready for you," She nodded. She was acting strange. I ignored and followed with the papers.

"Hello everyone, I'm Mara Cann, you can call me any of my names. This meeting is to find out from your end what has been happening. As you all know by now, I'm the only one handling everything as of now and I'm looking forward to as much assistance as I can get. Please start."  "Well said Miss Cann, I'm from the west wing. We called a few months back. For you to sign the papers concerning the land we have been fighting for since your parents were alive. If you are not ready for this, back down young lady!" A man rattled out angrily. Wow, how much have I missed? "I'm sorry for my inconvenience," I blinked. About four to five people scoffed. I watched them sternly. "You all realise I pay you monthly right?" I snapped,  annoyed at their behaviour towards me. "Pay us! She claims she pays us. What an imbecile. I might sound too rude to a young girl like you, but child, you've got to call back your Aunt or Mum Claire.  At least, even though she's mentally disoriented,  she still managed it better than you," He shouted. "Mr Frank!, please show some respect.  I will not tolerate this nuisance in my own company. And what are you talking about?" I asked,  feeling stupid and clueless. They slammed a bunch of paper, print-out emails and letters. I took some and read through them one by one, as quickly as I could. My heart skipped a beat. They were not being paid, for three months now. Where did all that money go? How come I never saw all these emails and got the letters?
And then it clicked. Jane!
But why would she do that??....
