The Dragon Lady

Qalif Loward is a man filled with good manners and dark secrets. His charm laid on his gentle features and green warm eyes. He was the kind man you would not expect to work under the most ruthless, powerful, and fiercest business woman in the industry. He was the man who stood behind Merrylia Selene Desilvia, the woman who hacked her way to the top with her terrifyingly intelligent mind, manipulative ways, and bold braveness. She dominated with an iron fist, making men and women alike quake before her dark eyes. Step by step she is making her way to her rightful throne while a waging war surfaced before him and her. They both had their secrets, and its bound to catch up with them.

Merrylia Selene Desilvia is the epitome of intimidation. She was richest and most powerful young billionaire who conquered the business world by storm. Her past is a mystery and so is her enemies. Trust is a rotten meat on her tongue, a word she would not apply to anyone as she fought her way to the top, not even to the gentleman who calls himself a secretary.

Qalif Loward is an open soul with a closed past. Behind his gentleness is a dark memory he tries his best to hide, even when it's catching up to him as he devotes himself to his work as a secretary; a seemingly harmless job. Qalif is about to realize that the world of trade doesn't limit itself in the four corners of the office. There is more to business than files and lunch meetings, and he might just end up being the nightmare he had once been and worked so hard to avoid.


"We both have a dark past, mine just started even before I was born."

The Dragon Lady

Our table was made up of business personalities and their partners. Merrylia and I blended in with ease as if we know the people around us. It was that moment when Mr. Wilfred went to the stage and spoke, 


"Good evening, my guests. Tonight we celebrate the day of the Wilfred Enterprises' creation. I thank you for coming here and sharing my glee in being able to build this with my hard work. Let's have a toast!" 


I raised my glass like the others even if all I wanted to do was spill it on his ridiculous face. I heard a scoff beside me and I looked at Merrylia. 


"Hard work? I never knew he could make such a joke." A disgusted look passed her face and she set down her glass. She knows more than I do, maybe that's the reason why they're after her. I was about to ask her when the hearing device went static.
