Chapter 1

After taking the huge empire of her dad's business, Miss Laura Snowdown rises from her seat and moves to the podium. She kept her head straight not looking at the unpleasant glares that she received from her aunts and uncles. Well, you can guess it enough, as they all anticipated that their brother would have given a share of his wealth before dying.

William Snowdown was a big business tycoon and a man with umpteen passion for his job. His only ambition was to build up his own empire. Even his wife's death did not deter him from achieving his dreams.

His only asset other than his business was his lovely daughter Laura. None expected her to be a girl with business skills and prudence as her father possessed. She was more like her mother-simple, pretty and with a kind heart. And yet Mr Snowdown handed his empire to his daughter after his death.

Speaking about his relatives, he had two brothers and a sister. They were all Gold-diggers and he knew them well. He knew they wanted to have a share from his hard-earned property for which they have lived with him when he was alive. But what angered him the most was that his daughter fell in love with his sister-in-law's nephew Gerald Mckawney.

Coming to the present, Laura adjusted her mike and cleared her throat. The audience consisted of her employees, friends and the reporters apart from her relatives. Gerald had already taken a seat in the first row, keenly watching his girlfriend speaking as the CEO of Blackwill Franchise.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, this is a great honour to have you all here. I, Laura Snowdown, hereby take my Dad's position and I would be leading you guys hereafter.

The Blackwill Empire is the fruit of my dad's dream and none can complain, this indeed was his whole life. Even after my mother's death, he had given his love to his company. Even when I was born as his daughter, he cared for this dream of his. And I truly understand how important Blackwill Franchise was for him.

Even in his absence, I would not let anyone suffer. I take it as a privilege to take over the post of CEO of Blackwill Franchise."

The whole crowd burst into big applause rising from their respective seats. Laura glanced at the one who was the love of her life and he winked at her.
