Hanging by a thread

Myanna walked past the offices and they all greet her respectfully, they have been familiar with her presence in the company since she visits almost every day.

It has been five years now since the Chen break the fake marriage with the Waters family but Myanna has refused to give up.

Everyone treated her as the Boss's wife since the Chen's didn't give an official statement but Tony Chen have refused to accept her as his wife.

For five years, she has tried to win the favors of the Chen family and managed to gain recognition after the incident but she still can not break past the wall built around Tony Chen's heart.

Over the years, he has become a much better business man and also a snob. He stayed clear of anything that has to do with friendship or relationship.

Myanna thought it would take few months for him to heal and get over her sister Valerie but it's been years now and there was still no progress in her relationship with him.

She might have managed to fool others to think she had something going on with him but the truth was that she was barely allowed into his office.

He hated the sight of her and ignore her whenever she tried to come close.

"Good afternoon Miss. Myanna" Yao greeted and quickly rush to stop her from going into the office.

"Is he not in again?" She asked.

"Please give me a minute" Yao replied and went into the office to ask if he could let her in this time even though he knows the answer was fixed.

Just as he open the door, Myanna hurry past him pushing him out of the way and made her way into the spacious office which could make three large offices.

"Who let you in?" Tony asked looking up from the document he was working on when he caught the whiff of perfume.

"Good to see you too Mr. Chen" she greeted with a smile rested on her face as she walk gracefully to him.

She was determined to make him have lunch with her today so she had planned wisely on how to get pass the locked door.

Yao came in after her with a apologetic look for his incapability to stop her from coming in.

"I'm sure you haven't had lunch yet, let's go on a date"

"Unlike you Miss. Myanna, I'm not idle and even if I was, I wouldn't waste it with you"

Myanna swallowed down the insult not ready to give up soon, today she has been able to get into his office and she was not ready to lose this opportunity.

"You should get to know me before you judge me Mr. Chen" she said sounding a little seductive.

She walk to his table and take her seat crossing her legs making the split cut on the skirt fall to a side and have her thigh open.

"I am a very beautiful woman, some even say I am breathtaking"

Tony drop the pen he was holding and pick the phone on the table to call the security unit to come up to his office and drag her out.

"Be here in ten seconds" he said before slamming the phone on the shocked guards who weren't expecting to get a call from the Boss himself.

Myanna was bewildered when he made the call to have her thrown out, she get up from the chair and cover her thigh.

"If you are going to be like this, why didn't you announce to everyone that we are divorced then" she asked him getting annoyed by his cruel attitude towards her.

He has refused to denounce the marriage between them do everyone thinks the Waters family still have a relationship with the Chen. If he was not going to acknowledge her, why then didn't he not just ruin her?

The guards get to the room at the said time and grab Myanna who tried to resist, if she get dragged downstairs everyone would wondered what has happened and it will be the topic for gossip.

She has earned respect from the employees and she cannot lose that ever.

"Wait" Tony said to the guards who were about to drag her out and get up from his seat.

He walked to Myanna with the aura of pride and dominance and stopped a feet away from her.

"I do not plan to announce it" he said to her , a dangerous smirk display on his lips.

"That's my way of punishing your family, you will keep living everyday in fear and panic, expecting the dread news but it won't"

"I will never acknowledge you or marry you either Miss. Myanna" he revealed to her and she listened with eyes bulged out in shock at his cruel plan for her and her family.

"Until my anger is quenched to let you go and then I will crush the Waters family company till there is nothing left of it"

"Why are you doing this? The Waters family did nothing wrong, it was all Valerie's fault".

" She's the one who deceived you"

"And she is still a part of the Waters family, is she not?" Tony cut in angrily.

"I plan to make every single one of you pay for that grave crime" he let out and move away from her.

The guard quickly grab her before she could move at him and pull her out of the office while she struggled under their strong hold to free herself.

Myanna got back home and went crazy, she threw and break everything in her room while Susan tried to calm her down and avoid getting hurt.

She could not believe that she was being punished because of the illegitimate daughter who had stolen her identity.

Even after Valerie was gone, she still remain a threat and liability to the Waters family. She should have let Tony Chen do whatever he wanted with her.

But instead she had saved her instead and she's the one suffering the aftermath of her deeds.

"What did Mr. Chen say to you that made you so upset?" Susan asked getting frightened by her daughter's terrifying act.

She was already fed up with the constant complain of Myanna about her supposed fiance.

The Waters company is doing so well now because everyone still believed their heiress was still with the Chen family but it has been four whole years and there is still no wedding.

Susan was starting to feel ashamed of going to meet the other women and try to avoid going outside so she doesn't get questioned about the engagement.

Everyone thought the Chen would definitely break off their relationship completely with Waters family and many were ready to attack their company, but it came as a surprise when they did not and continued to work with the company.

Susan spend those days in filled with pride and had her head raised up high whenever she goes out to meet other elite women. They all wanted to associate with her so their husband's company could also gain from the Chen through the Waters.

They have tried to make Mr. Chen fall in love with the real Myanna, her daughter but nothing worked. He keep pushing her away and keeping them standing on nails.

"This is all Valerie's fault Mum" she cried after turning her room upside down.

"Did Mr. Chen mentioned her again? I can't that witch will keep haunting our lives even after she was gone"

"I am not going to give up, No matter what he says, I am going to be married to him whether he love me or not" she said determined and brush her ruffled hair with her hands.

If Valerie could make Tony Chen fall in love with her, then she can do it too. After all she is very much better than Valerie and she has his family support too.

The plane landed and Valerie walked out of it with Jacob beside her. He picked their bags after and they proceed outside to take a cab to their destination.

"Do you just arrived in the country?" The driver asked them and Jacob nodded excitedly.

"Would you like a tour then? RK is a beautiful country" he said delightful.

"No" Valerie replied sharply

"We don't plan to stay long"

"You don't know Miss, you might find a reason to stay back and maybe move here permanently"

Valerie look away not ready to argue with a stranger, she was just here to secure a life-changing investment for herself and once that was done, she will leave RK once again.
