"WHAT A JOKE"

A month later...

Elise was busy picking up colors for her new artwork. After she was satisfied with the colors that she had picked she put them in a basket. She then moved to the brushes section where she started to indulge herself again. She is a famous painter better called artist in the industry as her paintings are very intricate and full of meaning that portrayed different feelings for different person who looked into it. She is a genius when in come to art and business.

Elise used to study business and art and eventually managed to complete her double degree in both sectors in flying colors. Being alone in this world has make her understand the fact that you have to be determined and stern when faced with certain situation. Some find her intimidating due to her serious expressions and mysterious stares. And because of that too, she has manage to secure a lot of projects in the past for the company she worked for. And today a surprise awaited her at home like a stacked of cash fall from the sky.

Who would have thought the family who once dispised and abandoned her has been searching for her. Apparently her family was looking for her ever since her mother was confirmed that she can not get pregnant again after an accident that has damaged her uterus and the doctor have to removed them in order to save her. Not only that, she also has lost her son in the accident which she had known earlier. They only have her? No! Her grandfather need an heir to run his legacy. Her rich family own a big corporation which focuses on logistic sectors and among the biggest company in the country and now that the only grandson he had has passed away leaving his only daughter in unstable mental state, he need Elise as an heir to the legacy. He was sick and his personality has resulted in him having more enemy than ally. He was a cruel and wicked man who would do anything with just a word and that had taken many innocence lifes. Life was going well until he found out that he have a cancer. Lymphatic cancer. He started to rethink of what he had done and life was very much cruel when an accident have him lost both her daughter sanity and her grandson forever. Ever since that he keeps his eyes on his 'abandoned grandchild' ever since he found her a year ago. Elise. Knowingly the fact she was the only one he have. Even if she hated him, he was determined enough to train her into who he was now. His condition has worsen and he need her now.

Elise however, neither can she forget nor forgive what they have done to her. She grew up denying the fact that they are their family. What an illegitimate child have done when the fault was her parents to begin with and why must her mother gave birth to her if she must throw her away from her life? Until today, the question keeps on repeating itself in her mind.

When she reached home from shopping, she saw a well-suited guy in a formal attire sitting in her living room facing Sam. Sam reckoned her to sit and introduced him to her. He is a lawyer, apparently her grandfather's. He was to inform her everything regarding the matter.

Elise smirked. "Oh now they need me? What a joke."
