Jay POV
The minute I heard the word seduced, all hell broke lose. Every single thread of constraint I had snapped away.
"Say that again." I said my voice chillingly low.
"I said you seduced him!" She shouted, her voice growing louder and getting more desperate to humiliate me.
"I'm with my wife on this one. You can't do anything to us, darling. We're the Hanamitchis. Even if we occur loss Because of cancelling the engagement, we can still cover it up. We have enough money, unlike you ever will" Mr Hanamitchi said.
"You didn't know who you just messed with. You call me a bitch?" I smiled. "How can I prove you wrong? You want a bitch, you get a damn bitch. Who wants to do a countdown with me?" I asked.
I raised 3 fingers and slowly folded each one of them in a countdown, the second my last finger closed, Mr Hanamitchi's phone rang. Unknown number. My lips curved into a dangerous smile.
"Put the phone on speaker, darling." I said, mocking him with the term he had used to belittle me. He hesitantly put it on speaker.
"Sir, the investments given by the Mariano enterprise is being liquidated. They're pulling back on every single contract made. And because of their influence, a lot of other companies are also threatening to pull out."
"WHAT?! WHY?" Mr Hanamitchi roared.
"You! What did you do?" Yoshiko asked me.
"Who me? What can a insolent little filthy ungrateful bitch like me do?" I asked him, repeating the exact words they had used to describe me.
"Sir that's not all, they have sent a warning... They have sent a message warning to never insult the manager of the company you live off." The assistant on the other end of the phone call said. Realisation of who I really was spread like wildfire.
Silence.
Pure blessed silence... Nah. Who am I kidding? Violence has always been more my style. 😏😌
Within seconds, chaos erupted. Among all of them, Kiefer was the only one who hadn't uttered a single word since the reveal. I don't care. He already said enough during his own reveal.
It's my time to mine. I know what your thinking. Wait, isn't it 'it's my time to shine' ? Nope. Cause diamond shines. And diamond is gotten by mining. So I replaced 'shine' with 'mine'. I make my own phrases. That's also why I say 'hope you die' instead of 'hope to die'. Because why would you hope to die when you can hope for others to die? I love my logic. Who doesn't?😌✌️
"You- you're... How did you?-"
"You think you own the board because you control the pawns? You do control the board, but I own the game. You think you won the game because you moved a key? Well, checkmate honey. I'd like to see what you'd do now. Your move." I said.
He sneered. "This is why women shouldn't own business. They shouldn't be let to work. They're too emotional and take everything personally."
I laughed. "Darling, if I had taken what you said personally, you'd be in a hospital by now. It's nothing personal, just professional."
"Professional? You attacked us for calling you a bitch. The board of directors won't agree to this. They'll see that you're unfit to make professional descisions."
You still don't understand, Japan- man. I'm not just a manager, I'm the heir. More so, I already own a company. The board is at my mercy.
"Attacked you? Oh no. I merely found out that you betrayed a company you had partnered with and sabatoged Fer corp, just because your son whined about something- even worse someone- he couldn't get. This was a completely practical defense descision made to protect the company from potential fraud." Everyone looked shocked that I knew this much about business. I smiled slowly. "Atleast, that's what I'll tell the board."
"You're evil." He said.
No I'm hungry and your sushi sucks!I'm just kidding. I shouldn't take my anger out on poor sushi... It'll be sad.
I smiled. "Maybe so. But I'm not an off stock candy that your son wants and can bribe the shopkeeper to buy for spoiling him. I won't be sold. I'm a person. I have feelings. And you've all been toying with my emotions. A dam will break if rocks are thrown at its walls. But it's holding back a flood that will swallow you whole when the walls wear out. You try to tearmy walls down? You will drown in the flood that I unleash." I said.
Guess who's looks emotionally wise while actually feeling like an emotionally constipated squirrel? Not me.I'm an emotionally hungry squirrel. How will I eat if I'm constipated?
"You can't do this. I own Japan! I always get what I want! You think I'm going to let some little girl humiliate me?"
"Then go back to Japan. This is not Japan. You can't get whoever you want here, because this? This. Is. My. Territory. You say I humiliate you? I wouldn't have humiliated you if there was nothing to be humiliated about in the first place. If you hadn't manipulated, sabotaged and done fraud in the first place. I didn't create you your problem, I merely exposed a thing you already did." I said.
His face hardened. He laughed. "You think I'll let you walk out alive after this? That's bold of you to assume. You're way to bold for someone who believes I won't bury you for this."
"I'm not bold because I believe you won't do anything, I'm bold because I believe you can't do anything to me."
His face twisted with rage as he signalled his men forward. Again, he underestimated me. He had brought only two of his men. Easy peasy. I stood. I kicked another one's knee in the front so hard, he fell. Then I twisted one's arm and took the gun from his arms.
I walked all the way to the door before turning back. "Piece of advice, dumb folks. NEVER point a gun at a CBI officer. You're basically just handing me a weapon at this point. Goodbye." I threw the gun without looking back. Kiefer caught it, for some reason. I walked out, got on my car and drive back home.
Percy and Jare had probably already started the planning without me. If you're asking what planning, strategy. Percy already ownes a company. It's the most famous fashion brand. The brand name is SOP. No one exept me and Jare knows what that stands for. (A/N: guys, I have a challenge for y'all guess what SOP stands for...)
And he's turning 20 years old. So he could have claimed the Mariano enterprise two years ago if he wanted to. But he chose not to, because if he did, then it would alert that we were alive too. And we weren't 18 yet. So there was a chance that our aunt would try to take custody of us, claiming Percy was a child.
We told him it was fine and that we'd manage somehow. But he refused, saying he values our life more than the company. Yeah, there were a few tears when he said that. I'm not naming anyone in particular. (It was me. I cried.)
So now that we're turning 18 in a month, we can claim the company with the will written by our parents. Which is why we need to be more careful. Enemies will be getting more desperate, so we have to lie low for a while.
That's why I said I wouldn't be going to school.
I know a certain someone who's birthday is coming before mine...
I was talking about Ci n. Obviously. What did you think I was talking about Kiefer?
I reached home, and it was oddly peaceful. This was one time Percy always turned serious whenever we had these discussions. It was surprising how fast he could go from a chaotic and comedic self obsessed person, to a protective and dangerously calculatimg older brother.
That was one thing about Percy. He always protects his siblings, no matter what. Including Felix and Dalia...
