Sage Series 1: One Last Chance

Celina Sapphire Aragon

    Being the first and only daughter of the Aragon is not a walk in the park, especially if you have a bunch of troublemaker siblings. Who do nothing but bring problems to the family, just recently Peter, the one who follows her told them that he got someone pregnant. Yet he didn't want to take responsibility for what happened, she had to beg the other party to not press charges against them. She was able to do so, by giving them the five percent shares that Pete had accumulated. And because of that, she argued with her parents. Because they said that it was unfair, but they couldn't let that slide. Even if Pete said that the child might not be his, it's time to teach her brother a lesson.

Two weeks after that they found out that the twins, Silver and Trevor went to a casino in Macao and lost their money. The worst part is that they made their vacation house collateral, and she was almost rushed to the hospital when she was informed. Her blood pressure rose way faster than her parents, again she had to clean up after their mess. She used her shears on the company to gain back the vacation house, and she gave the twins the silent treatment.

However, the final straw was when Inigo, Christian messed with her artists in Mystic Entertainment. They messed up all their schedules and made the investors pull out their shares. She told them many times that they could mess with anything and everything that belonged to her, but Mystic Entertainment was off-limits! Because that is the company she had built for herself from her own money the minute she turned eighteen, which was seven years ago.

"That's it! I've had enough of your antics, I have told you all countless times to never touch Mystic Entertainment! How do you think I would be able to sustain my own company now!"

Indeed she was shouting, yet her voice was steady. However, her brothers were all shivering like crazy. She looked at them dead in the eyes, her parents surprisingly didn't interfere this time around.

"We're sorry, big sis."

They all unanimously apologized, but she didn't give in. Because this is her company at stake, she of course still loves them, but they need to learn.

"Can any of you give me a suggestion as to how I'm going to save my company from bankruptcy, and don't you all suggest giving me your money. Also, do not, I mean do not suggest to work for me because you all are not entertainment material."

She laid down all her ground rules, and she saw how all of them struggled to come up with a solution. Minutes had passed when she noticed Silver seemed to have something in mind, yet she felt uneasy with his facial expression. She was the one who raised them because their parents were always out of town, of course, she knows almost everything about them. And something is telling her that whatever Silver has in mind would cause more harm than good.

"I have a friend that needs your help with his company."

She sighed at his suggestion, she only knew a few of his friends that have their own company. Which are the Garcia, Salazar, and the Elizondo.

"It's Cloud Zedrick Elizondo if you're wondering."

She knew it! Among all his friends, he is the one she avoids the most. Their parents have been friends with each other since college, but not for this generation. There's something about the three brothers that makes her nervous, it seems like they're the epitome of bad luck.

"What are you all planning to do?"

Their parents finally said something after what felt like an eternity, it seems that they don't like where this is heading as well.

"Aunty Eliza is having a hard time with Cloud since they don't like his girlfriend, even his twin brothers agree with their parents. So, now they want to break them apart."

She kept her cool while Silver was explaining, yet given that she was a writer she already knew how this would end. Which is a bad ending!

"And how does big sis contribute to this exactly, Silver?"

"She would be the person to break them apart completely."

And at that moment everything happened too fast, she was lunging towards her brother when the main door opened. She didn't have the time to look at the intruder, because all she wanted to was to strangle her younger brother!

"You dumbass! I was not raised as the first and only daughter of the Aragon just to be a home wrecker, and besides Cloud is younger than me by two years! Are you out of your damn mind, and what would happen in the long run if he and I had to divorce each huh? It would ruin everything on both sides! Use your brain, Tristan Silver Aragon!"

Well, she defiantly used up all her energy, since she felt someone holding her by the waist just so she wouldn't fall. When she looked up it was Cloud Zedrick, the youngest of the Elizondo triplets. She slowly managed to calm down, but her eyes were still burning. That's when she realized that she had started crying, she just couldn't believe her brother would suggest such a thing. They just think of her as a money-milking machine huh? She didn't expect her values to be that low in the eyes of her family, she then looked around and saw something within the expression of the triplets, it seemed like they wanted to take her away from there.

"Calm down, Lina."

She heard him say, and she couldn't help but to listen. Something about his voice that captivated her, calmed her down almost immediately. However, she was starting to cry again after a few minutes. She held onto his polo shirt, fearing that if she let go he might disappear from her completely.

Hello again my dear Angels, here's another update for today. Well, let me tell you something about the origin of the name Zedrick. I know most people are familiar with the version that starts with an 'S' or 'C', but I used the 'Z' version because it's the version I used for my crush during high school. And he was cool with me using that version, also he wouldn't be able to read this since he doesn't have a Wattpad account. So, I'm safe from his critics. Well, that would be for now. Have a great day ahead everyone!
