43

I was woken up the next day to my alarms on my phone going off at five. I sluggishly got out of bed and took a shower. After my quick shower, I put my hair in a sock bun on top of my head and did my makeup. Walked into my room and turned on the news.

As I was putting on a light gray dress that was appropriate, I heard something on the news that made me rush out of the closet with the zipper still down and yelling for Leo. Leo ran into the room as the lady said, "In recent news, James Ward gifted his shares of Ward Corporation to his son. A recent employee of Ward ArchEngineering has confirmed that the shares gifted to his son were passed on to Hannah Marie, step daughter to William Lenox. Later this week, Ward Corporation has scheduled a press conference to answer any questions regarding the exchange of power within the company. Hopefully soon we will get to know the new billionaire in our mists."

I shut off the TV after it switched to commercials. I took a deep breath. I turned my back to Leo as I said, "Can you please zip me up?" He did as I asked. I walked into the closet and put on a pair of black heels, silver earnings, silver bracelets, and a diamond necklace. I stuffed my school uniform into my bag and walked out of the closet.

Leo was waiting for me on my bed looking troubled. He looked up when I walked out and said, "I'm sorry for that Hannah. Now your dad will find you."

I stopped him from talking when I said, "Leo it is not your fault. I was expecting it to get leaked one way or another. Just not this soon. I am thankful that my picture was not leaked. I changed my name when I turned eighteen. He does not know that it is Hannah Tae Marie. I just need to inform the men who are watching my father to let me know if he makes a move to come out here. We will know if he makes the connection. Now we have a board meeting to get to and rat to find."

Leo followed me out of the house and in the car. We got close to the office when he finally asked, "What is your birth name?"

I smiled and let out the breath of air I was holding as I waited for him to ask. "Well it's only fair for you to know since I do own a third of your company." I laughed as he pulled up to a stop in front of his building. Luckily there were no press since it was private street owned by Leo. "My name used to be Tae Anna Park. My father is Kaiden Park. He is the CEO of T.A. Shipping."
