"You knew about it? How"? I asked as i saw the date of the meeting scheduled on the contract. It was today. Zayyan asked me yesterday that i am ready to meet them or not? This only indicate that he already knew about the meeting and the contract.

"Of course! I know as i am the one to plan it" He replied in a duh tone as it wasn't something difficult. I furrowned both my eyebrows together in confusion as i was totally confused. When he saw my expressions he elaborated.

"My first step to destroy them was their company's bankruptcy. I want them on roads, so for that i made an small announcement as being M.M..........." he paused as he held an eye contact with me.

"I announced that if anyone dared to collaborate with k group of companies than any contract or collaboration with my company will be eliminated the very next second. The conclusion is no one have enough courage to stand against M.M, against me. So, they withdrawn their every investment with that company. And now that bastard left with no option came at your feet that maybe just maybe he could get a chance"

I was just looking at him with my mouth hang open. What a plan, i must say i am proud to be his life partner, his wife.

The authority and power he hold over the business world is just very impressive. Just his word and everyone are at his feet.

"Kitten"? He said as he waved his hand infront of my face "Huh"? A whisper left my mouth and his chuckle resounded in the office.

He ruffled my hairs saying "Don't tempt me kitten"

When i understood his meaning behind words, i instantly smacked his hand away uttering sternly but i know i am scarlet red right now "I am not" Why do he have this kind of effect on me?

"One last question. How they even got the contract with our company because uncle Michael would never do that"?

"Of course he will not unless........"

"There is a traitor in the company" i completed and both our lips curled up in an wide smile.

After that i engrossed myself in the work and Zayyan was doing his work on his iPad. Hours later we heard a knock and Zayyan said a faint come in as his eyes were still glued to his iPad. Uncle Michael came in and after a slight respectful bow he said politely "I apologize for the disturbance 'young madam' but it's time for the meeting with board of directors"

I saw the time and it really was the time for meeting. I sighed internally thinking i lost the track of time while working. I nodded at uncle and stood up.

I turned towards Zayyan and saw him still staring at the screen very seriously as his eyebrows were slightly furrowned together "Zayyan"?

"Yes! What happened Kitten"? He asked as he passed a look to uncle "it's time for meeting. Lets go" I said as i picked some files from the table and asked uncle "Are the files ready for the meeting which i emailed you some days ago"?

"Yes! Young madam" I nodded my head and turned towards Zayyan. He was still seated on his place frowning hard looking at me "What"?

"Do i need to come with you"? He asked as he was unsure "of course! Now get up........" I pulled him up by his hands and turned towards uncle introducing Zayyan "I am sorry for being late....... Meet my husband. Zayyan, Zayyan Malik"

After a mere second, shock flashed across uncle Michael's face "Congratulations to both of you. I didn't knew you were married" I chuckled "You didn't even knew me by face until some hours back, but to think of it how did you recognized me" I asked as i was curious because this was the very first time in years i was seeing uncle Michael and of course same goes for him.

"You are the exact replica of your mother. Especially your hairs and your eye colour is same as Sr.Khan" I nodded as it was true.

"With due respect Sir. Can i ask you something"? Uncle asked Zayyan and he nodded in approval "Have we met before because i am sure i have seen you somewhere "?

"You maybe had seen him in news or something" when Zayyan didn't said anything i replied "My father is Zaydan Malik" Came Zayyan's authoritive voice and i heard uncle's low gasp.

"That's why you were so familiar. It's been years i last met Mr.Malik. Please do pass my greetings to him" Zayyan nodded and we all walked out "you tricked him right"? I asked my suspicion and he nodded "He had actually met me once by chance in one of my meetings before......By the way i liked how you introduced me as your husband" I averted my eyes as my lips curled up in a bit shy smile.

Entering the conference Hall, the once chattering hall got dead silent, only the clicking of my heels could be heard. Everyone stood up and passed a confused look seeing me instead of uncle Michael. Zayyan sat on the sofa placing his one leg on another and i straight walked towards the CEO's chair. As i sat all the people in the conference hall gasped loudly. Why do i am having a feeling of déjà vu. I feel like I am hearing so many gasps from morning.

"No questions until you are asked to" My voice came out stern and echoed in the hall. Ignoring their suspicious look, i gestured the man who is supposed to distribute the files to everyone.

"What the hell is this"?

"Who the hell are you to do this"?

"You can't do this" Came the repeated reactions from each one of them.

"Of course i can do this, infact i did it" i said as i straightened my back against the chair and swinging it slightly i folded my one leg on another.

"Give me the name or else go to jail under the charges of bribery, violation of company rules and much more things as you all can see in the file given to you and even better idea i can fire you all right away"

"You can't do this. Who the hell are you in the first place? You are no one to take decisions......." He trailed off when a beautiful chuckle resounded in the hall. I didn't needed a second to know who's it was. I passed a soft small smile to Zayyan and heard uncle Michael's voice as he came in the hall standing beside my chair "Behave Mr. Raynold"

"What is happening here? What is she doing sitting on your place? We are obliged to answer you not her" another board member asked and declared his decision.

"You never really were obliged to answer me. I was just an substitute. The rightful owner of this empire is her. Ayéda Khan, the real heiress of this company. Your boss" Uncle declared my identity and i am sure now the traitor will give this big piece of news to my fake family.

"This can't be true"

"How can she be alive"?

"Wasn't she declared dead years ago"?

"Is she the daughter of our previous boss? Mr.Khan"? Repeated mummers could be heard clearly in my ear.

"Yes it is definitely true and I am definitely not dead as i am standing alive and in full flesh. And yes i am the daughter of Shahzaib Khan and rightful owner of this company" I clarified everything.

After a Silence of few seconds I sighed and said because everyone was in shock "Some of you will get your resignation letter who truly deserves it and beside them everyone will of you get a warning letter. Don't worry i will get the name till evening.....by hook or by crook" I said and walked towards Zayyan with uncle following me behind.

As we got out i asked "What is the time of meeting with them"?

"After lunch, young madam" after lunch it is. I sighed internally. It's time. Ya Allah! Do give me courage.
