Heir (Part 1)

Nearly all men can stand adversity but, if you want to test men's character. Give him power ~ Abraham Lincoln

Today is the annual function of Romani enterprise. Romani is one of the few individual families who have its lineage with royalties, which makes this one of the prominent family in the city X. Sol Romani great great great grandfather is one of the exclusive designer of empress and from then on it pass generation to generation. But after abolition of monarchy and with changing world democracy they quickly establish their business empire. And now Sol Romani became the 25th president of Romani Enterprise.

But who doesn't love power and money. With such power at every corner their is a leech eying the chair. The power struggle within the family is vicious. But Sol is the favourite grandson of his grandfather and seeing his abilities of managing the empire and intelligence landed him the president position. His grandfather Zion is illegitimate child and the late Romani have only a son and two daughters. But because of legitimate son Albert idiocy which landed the entire empire in many loses and at the brick of bankruptcy, it was Sol grandfather who with his capabilities saved the company thus, making him the president of the company.

But this thing didn't go well with Albert, he can't digest the fact that an illegitimate child is sitting on the president chair. Various times he created hurdles for him but every time he get beaten in his own trap which lead him having no power in the company only being the silent shareholder. But who knows when the venomous snake bite back.

Many thoughts were running inside her head. But her main concern is that from today onwards little bun would be in the lime light, just thinking about that is creating a strong headache for her. She wanted to deny Sol from declaring little bun his heir but she knows one day she has to face this day and moreover she can tolerate any for her son but she can't let her son carry the illegitimate tag.

Moreover how much she not like Sol but she can't deny that he is not a good father. Yes he is 6 years late but atleast he accepted his child unlike other men who don't even care if their child is dead or alive. She is sitting inside the car with her son after debating for long she release a sigh and open the door of her car.

As she enters, many of their gaze fall on her and little bun. Her grip on little bun hand tighten protectively, with straight face and confidence she ignore everyone and walk straight to greet Mr and Mrs Romani. But now the whole room is whispering amongst themselves giving her ridiculous, mocking look.

"Isn't she Tulip Anderson who slept with her sister fiance. What a shameful person that she come to this place with her bastard child"

"I doubt that this child is even President child, she must have scheme something"

"Even her parents didn't acknowledge her. Even if I had a daughter like her I would also refuse to acknowledge such a daughter"

Every mockery reach her ear but Tulip ignored everyone and greeted Sol parents. Little bun was delighted when he saw his grandparents "Grandpa! ... Grandma!"

Both Mr and Mrs Romani were delighted to see their grandchild after all it's not everyday they get to spend time with their grandson. Tulip gaze fall on Jessica, Sol sister. Jessica is somewhat 6-7 months pregnant, looking at her Tulip raise her left brow "Now I see why this sudden wedding" she mumbls

Jessica glare at her, she heard everything and moreover she hated Tulip from the core of her heart because of her, her brother have to stay away from his family for too long. It because of this woman her brother lost his happiness "Atleast unlike you I don't have a child out of wedlock. Doesn't the DNA report showed positive who knows which bastard child you were carrying" she look beside her. An elegant woman is standing beside her Natasha who is Sol childhood friend "I wish you were the woman my brother was marrying" Jessica said and sigh.

It's not the first time Tulip hearing Jessica mockery but she ignore. Even though Mr and Mrs Romani heard everything that their daughter said even the whole crowd is whisper. But they turn blind eye, they want to refute but at what foundation they could refute. Suddenly a hand wrap around Tulip waist, Sol coldly look at his sister. Looking at Sol Jessica became confused, beside her Natasha also looking at Sol on puzzle.

The crowd became pin drop silence, everyone shudder from the cold aura that Sol is emitting. Sol warmly look at his son and take him in his arms. With one hand he carry his son and with another hand he tightly hold Tulip waist. He coldly look at everyone "Today at annual function of our company completing it's 100 years I want to announce something important" he said, then he turn his head and look at Tulip warmly, whereas Tulip avoid his gaze but her heart is beating really fast. He clear his throat and look at the crowd "Today I want you to meet my heir Leo and fiancée Tulip"

Everyone eyes turn bewilder. It took them quite a minute to digest the information. Jessica and Natasha eyes turn into disbelief. Tulip was shock hearing Sol 'When she became his fiancée' she thought. But before she could say anything her gaze fell on someone.
