Everything Is Fair In Love And War

Leonard ignored Mia for the whole day,it was all thanks to Mark that mislead her.feeling annoyed and angered she headed to the Henderson group of conglomerate to confront both Lucian and Mark.

She stood at the reception for several minutes before she was finally allowed to enter.

"Is this what you mean by sending the voice recording,I can't believe you could stoop so low to the extent of plotting such a nefarious scheme all in the name of revenge", Mia shouted at Lucian who was sitting on the swivel chair facing the window as soon as she entered,her voice trembling with rage.

"Huh,what do you mean?", Lucian was surprised at her appearance and even more so at her fierce stance.

"Don't pretend to be ignorant, didn't you ask Mark to send the voice recording to ruin the relationship between Leonard and I and also to defame Leonard", Mia replied lividly.

"What did Mark do?,what voice recording?,I don't understand your words and besides why would I ruin your relationship,why would I defame Leonard?", Lucian asked,his brow knit in confusion.

"Simple, because you want to exact revenge on Leonard and because you loved me,now that I think things through you are just so shameless", Mia pointed at him accusingly.

"What!", Lucian stood up immediately he heard her sentence,his heart racing with adrenaline."what did you just say?".

"Mark said this to me himself or would you debunk it as a lie,so your plan was to kill two birds with a stone, you want to get rid of him and also involve me".

"So you found out", Lucian chuckles resonated through the room."yes I love you,I had always loved you but I never for once thought of ruining your relationship no matter how sad I felt nor did I instruct Mark to tell you anything but now that we've come to this I'll tell you, Leonard is cheating on you, cheating on you with . . "

"Enough", Mia yelled."how dare you say it to my face but listen no matter what you say or do or how much you defame Leonard,I will always stand by him and you,I hate you, you're so disgusting", Mia concluded.

"Mia,wait. . "

"Don't come near me and forget about it,I would never love someone as disgusting as you even on my last breath,I don't ever want to see you again", Mia yelled and stormed out of the office angrily.

Lucian punched the table in disappointment, clenching his fists he chuckled self depreciating manner as he stood by the floor to ceiling windows staring at her as she got into the car and zoomed off .

The secret he had been keeping for a decade had been bared and she wanted nothing to do with him,now that she found out,she loathed him so much,he guessed the voice recording she was talking about was that of Leonard and Eddie but she was too naive and easily beguiled.he never expected her to trust Leonard unwaveringly even with such crucial evidence and even accuse him of defaming Leonard and ruining their relationship.

Mark expectations was far from the outcome but Lucian understood him,he did it for his sake and whatever she believes is her choice but he can't just stand by and watch her being deceived and used,he still had to look out for her.

He clutched his chest, anguish etched on his porcelain face.

"Lucian,is she worth it,is she worth all your efforts?".

He turned over to find a blonde haired lady dressed in a professional white suit with golden trims,her hair piled high upon her head into a ponytail.

His lips curled into a smile and he embraced her."Emily,why are you here?".

"To help you of course, you've just taken over the huge company things are going to be tough and Mark is abroad for a business deal so am here", Emily smiled.

"But you don't even know anything related to business", Lucian laughed.

"Yeah, but I can help you with the simple files,the dishes and I can also keep you company", Emily replied.

"Thanks so much Emily",he smiled.

"I saw her storming outside just now , is everything okay,are you two together now?", Emily asked waiting for his answer even though she was not ready to her it.

"Nothing, we're not together",

"Why?", Emily was surprised.

"She's engaged,I was too late anyways don't mind it", Lucian replied.

"Alright,do you want me to. . "

"You're not doing anything,I forbade you to see her", Lucian said.

"Okay", Emily nod her head.

Back then when they were studying abroad,she fell in love with him,it was love at first sight but he kept rejecting her saying he had a lover though unhappy she wished him happiness and tried to bury her feelings and not inconvenience him afterall his happiness is of her utmost concern, but now with the situation of things,her heart couldn't help but racing erratically.perhaps,she still hold a chance.

Leonard finally answered Mia's call in the evening,she immediately rushed over to his company in the westside, after apologizing he finally accepted begrudgingly and forgave her.

"Here is the food I made for you,I knew you must have missed lunch again", Mia said and opened the lunchbox she brought along.

"You really are becoming the little worm in my stomach,this is a small company I have to run around all day long to snag business deal unlike those prestigious companies,I lack money, resources if only I could partner with another company but they're all rejecting me now that Lucian had arrived", Leonard said in between bites of the pizza.

"Your hardwork will soon pay off, your company will become successful but I was thinking what if I transfer my share of the inheritance to you afterall you're my fiance and we'll be getting married sooner or later", Mia suggested pouring him a cup of tea.

"No,I'll be fine on my own. . "

"If everybody's afraid of him,am not,I'll always stand by your side,I'll talk to aunt tonight and have my lawyer prepare the necessary documents and you can't dissuade me", Mia interrupted.

"But aunt Miller will never agree, transferring all the share is too much", Leonard argued.

"No it's not, according to father,half of the company's share belongs to me,the other half belongs to Eddie and the board of directors,I can do anything with it besides I can't watch you being bullied any longer", Mia explained.

"Alright, thanks then,am so speechless and glad to have you", Leonard smiled and embraced her clenching his fists behind his back."finally",he mumbled under his breath looking determined.

"Okay,I have to go now to talk to aunt", Mia bid her farewell and exit the building.

"Miss Mia is really naive", Leonard's assistant exclaimed.

"I didn't expect her to broach the subject herself,this calls for celebration", Leonard replied excitedly.

"But, don't you think she's pitiful, she has sacrificed way too much now I think it's a little unfair . ."

"Everything is fair in love and war, someone has to make the sacrifices".
