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."

Shrieks echoed around as the remaining guests struggled their way outside. Jackson, along with the others, shot Mr. Wilfred's men with skilled precision. When it almost seemed like the enemies were dispersing, more men came in and fought back. 


"Find the woman or we'll lose the money!" 


A voice said with urgency. Men searched around the place while trying to dodge the bullets raining down on them. I pushed myself up and knelt behind a post while Merrylia ducked behind an overturned table. 


"We should get to the exit faster. Backups are this way and we need to be out of here before things get any worse." 


Merrylia's voice filled my ears through the device and I nodded. I was about to get to her when a man passed by. I saw how his eyes widened before he took a deep breath, preparing to shout. He wasn't able to release one word when a hole appeared on his chest and he collapsed. 


"Move faster, Loward! Or we'll die here tonight!"
