“Norah, Love!... Why are you still sad?”
Helena walked towards her daughter who was crying out rivers.
“Stop crying! It’s not like that brat has any role in this wedding… She is just a pawn. Once we get the business collaboration she would be useless, Then you can get married to Micah, Okay!” Helena stroked her daughter’s head who was crying bitterly into the pillow.
“Mom! You knew I loved him and you still made Renya marry him...It could have been me...I could have become Mrs. Luis, I could have married him,” She hicked as she cried out loud.
“No dear! You don’t understand...Come on get up so Mum can tell you why she made that useless girl marry into such an influential family.”
Helena patted her shoulder and tried to pull her up from the bed.
“What!!” She shouted in an annoyed voice.
“Look! Me and your dad had a plan. We made Renya marry into the family so we can get the deal signed with Luis, and you, my dear, have to play the most important part in it…”
“What is that?” She was still annoyed.
“You have to make him fall for you, Micah thinks that Renya married him because of the money and he hates her already... If you were married to him he would have thought the same of you…” she paused and stroked her hair affectionately before continuing.
“So now you can lure him into liking you ,that way you can have him and his wealth. You will enjoy the best of both the worlds,” Helena spoke in a schemey voice, as she stared at Norah with a corrupting look.
Norah nodded her head in realization. She had hope in her eyes when she heard her mother’s assuring words, but she had questions.
“How am I going to do that? Every woman of the city is trying to catch his attention but he doesn’t even bait an eye…” Norah pouted.
“They are barking at the wrong door...They have no idea how to catch a man’s attention. You wanna know how I caught Tylor’s attention and made him head over heels for me, and abandoned his family?”
She shamelessly chuckled, Norah felt relief that she had her mother to guide her.
“Mom is Micah going to be mine? For real?” Norah got excited.
“Yes, you will. I promise.” Helena ran her fingers through Norah’s hair and assured her.
……………………………………………..
There was a knock on Micah’s office door, while he was checking some files. He lifted his head and spoke hoarsely.
“Come in!”
The secretary walked.
“Master, Mr. Scott is here to see you! Do you want me to send him in?”
She spoke cautiously,
Micah’s gaze froze when she heard those words.
“Scott!! Hmm…Send him in,” Micah placed the papers back on the table and got up from his chair. He walked around the room towards the mirror and fixed his hair up.
The office door opened without a knock, and a man in a black suit entered the office in a graceful manner. He had a clean shave and perfectly trimmed hair that had strands of silver in it. Micah stood a few steps away from him with an icy face, he didn’t greet him nor showed any kind of familiarity. His face was emotionless.
“Will you not greet me?” Asked Tylor in a somewhat disappointment.
“In my opinion greetings are for those with whom you are close to or you have a sense of closeness...And for you, I have no such emotions,” Micah replied blankly and walked leisurely to his chair.
“So Mr. Tylor...What bring’s you here?”
Micah sat back and looked at home with a curious gaze.
“You speak as if I am here for a business deal, We are family now can I not come to visit my Son-in-law?” Tylor replied, he dragged a seat and sat beside the table.
Micah smirked at his words, he was amused by how smoothly he lied.
“Haah! My bad...Father In Law!!” Micah moaked at him.
“You must be worried about your daughter! She hasn’t visited you since the wedding...do you want me to send her back?” Micah grinned.
“No, I mean I will call her home myself, you don’t have to do it…”
He twisted his fingers as he stared at Micah. He was trying to strike a conversation that wasn’t relAted to these things but he couldn’t find the right thread to pull, he was still trying when the secretary entered the office once more, but now she had a file in her hand.
“Master! Here is the one you asked for,” she placed the file on the table and walked out without making much noise.
Micah picked the file and flipped through the pages with an amused face and then glanced at Taylor.
“Have a look!” Micah passed the file to him and stared at his changing expression with an amused face, he was waiting for a reaction, and just as he expected Taylor’s eyes brightened up and he shifted his gaze towards Micah.
“This! This is…”
“ the piece of land in the most desired part of the city… I am planning on giving it to my wife, will she be happy if I give her such a precious gift?”
Micah knew how long Taylor had been eyeing this land and what odd things he had done to get his hand on this piece of land.

It was just not any ordinary land, it was located in the most busy place of the city, it was the best option for business and profit. Micah wanted to play with him like he played with Micah.
“Yes! Yes she would love it,” he was overjoyed and greed was visible In His eyes.
“Fu! I am glad that she would like it...I guess I shouldn’t waste more time and just give it to her as soon as possible,” Micah took the file from the reluctant hands of Taylor. He got up and wore his jacket.
“I will be off, you too should go home Father In Law…” he pressed on his last words and walked out of the room.
Taylor was left alone in the room, his mood was bright and he smiled ear to ear as he drooled over the thought of having such a great opportunity of building his new hotel in that part of the city, but little did he know what Micah was planning for him and Renya’s relationship.
