"You are kidding , aren't you?" She giggled nervously.
"Please miss Hyra understand?" Marco said.
She slammed the table furiously.
"Understand? Understand what? That you guys are conspiring to eject me from the company of my father?" She said furiously .
She then glanced at lily whom looked sorry for her but she knew perfectly that all this was her plan.
On her side lily was forcing not to laugh , the scene was so beautiful to see. The joy that lily felt was unexplainable.
"We are planning nothing miss. The company has problem for real" another said.
"And how many people do we have to dismiss?" Hyra asked
The partners gazed at each other then Marco spoke.
"Just one"
Hyra laughed, the partner gazed again at each other. They wondered why she was laughing but they didn't understand that she was mocking at herself.
"One? and with all the employees here it is only me that you have seen" she narrowed her eyes.
"Well, Madame MILDEGARDE suggested us you" Marco explained.
She gazed at her stepmother.
"Why's that I'm not surprise" Hyra said.
"My daughter" Lily stood up from her chair, she approached Hyra and touched her deltoids.
"You don't need this work like the others employees. You are the daughter of the late Charles Mildegarde, you have money" she added.
"Get off from me" she repulsed her.
The employees that saw the scene but couldn't hear were murmuring.
"She's really wicked with Madame Lily" one said
"The poor woman always tried to be good with her but what she get in return is hatred from Hyra"
"Only because she married her father"
Stephane that was listening to their discussion couldn't held but replied to them.
"Stop talking of what you don't know , you gossip" he narrowed his eyes.
The three women left with shame.
Hyra breath out, closing her eyes to keep her calm. She wanted to explode , the anger in her was really going to make that she should kill somebody.
"Marco no not only him" she said calmly.
"With all what my father did for you people and that's how you are thanking him? By dismissing her daughter " she got out from the office furious.
"Don't worry she will understand I'm going to talk to her" Lily said calmly. She turned toward the door, she smirked then regain her concern and sad face expression.
Hyra passed everybody even Stephane. She took the elevator and arrived at the entry in the first floor.
"Hyra wait" Lily said.
Hyra paused but she didn't turned to her.
"Hyra, please listen to me. You know I didn't do it to erase you from the company of your father" she said
Hyra knew perfectly that she was pretending and it exasperated her, she turned to her now.
"Stop pretending Lily there's nobody" Hyra narrowed her eyes.
Lily smirked and approached near her ears and whispered.
"I told you, I'm going to take everything from you. Your fortune, your company even the house that you love so much"
She pulled back, a mischievous smirked on her lips.
"Remember those words dear Lily because I will say exactly those words to you. Smile as you can" Hyra furrowed.
"For now, you are left with nothing my dear. I'm the one controlling everything not you. The fallen heiress" she chuckled.
Hyra turned her heel, leaving the company furious.

Hyra went to the graveyard to talk with her father. She had flowers in her hands, she put it on the grave of her father.
She sighed heavily.
"I told you several times dad, I warned you against that woman. Now she's the one that is in control of everything" she said.
"You know what's funny? You brother help her"
"Everything that you work hard for mum and me. It's that woman controlling it" she stood up.
"But I promise, she would not have it. I better die rather than seeing her taking my patrimony. For every single humiliation, every disgrace that she did to me. I swear on your grave and that of mummy , she will pay for it" she narrowed her face.

MILDEGARDE MANSION.
"If you saw her head?" Lily said happily.
Henry Mildegarde the young brother of Charles , opened a bottle of champagne and took two glasses.
"We have to celebrate it" he gave the other glass to lily.
"She was so furious Henry. I was so amused" she straightened her hand and took the glass.
"We are almost done with her but you know the last thing that we're supposed to do" Henry took a serious expression.
"It's too extreme Henry. I don't think we need to do. All is into my control" she took a worried expression.
Henry placed the glass on the table.
"Lily, the only fact that she's still alive is a danger for all what we are in possession" he said.
Henry approached lily and caressed her face.
"We have to eliminate her"

Hyra was scrolling in the city, she didn't have a particular direction. Stephane phone her several times but she didn't take the call, she wanted to stay alone.
Without knowing she arrived at the beach, she saw stone benches by the beach. She sat on one an inhaled the fresh air coming from the beach,somehow taking in that air made her feel better.
"How? How will I do to take what is rightfully mine" that was the question that constantly comes in her head.
The battle that she wants to engage in will be perilous, she knew that she needed help but from who she doesn't know. Who can be enough courageous and fearless to defeat Lily Mildegarde and Henry Mildegarde in the business world.
Staying there and looking at the sea, her thoughts far. She stood for 45minutes then decided to go back home.
Just imagining that she will see the face of that witch irritate her but she had no choice. At the moment she wanted to move, she pushes something on the ground.
"Huh? What's that?" She bend and took it.
"A pen?" She wondered.
"For a pen, it's a weird pen" she look attentively at the pen, turning it when suddenly she saw words on the pen.
She sat back on the stone bench.
"Something is written but it's written in another language. I think it's grec inscriptions?"
"Aníko ston vasiliá tou káto kósmou"
