A month hasn't even pass, yet he is so head over heels for her now. Ah, scratch that! The proper word for him right now as he was daydreaming about her with those dumb love-struck grin covering his face is whipped! He is totally whipped! And to be honest, he doesn't like it, because he isn't sure if she feels the same. He feels as if he needs her so much, more than her and it was scaring the heck out of him.
But still, he couldn't help the stupid smile stretching his cheeks, until he feels his face muscles screaming in agony.
He still couldn't stop his mind for wandering off to places that he rather not visit.
Still, his stupid heart would skips a beat everytime he was thinking about her.
But, is she feels the same?
Is she thinking about him too the way he thinks about her?
Ahh!Never in his life he feels this insecure.
Everytime this concerns come attacking him, he would tousled his hair roughly, making the soft dark locks jumping in random places, and then he would sighs heavily, the wheels of his brain keep working,
Does she feels the same?

On the other hand, dead silence creeping up inside the large meeting room after the words came out of her mouth.Everyone gaped at her in disbelief. Earlier, they would just laugh it off, mocking her statement when she said she is the new CEO of the Ramirez Company, the largest and infamous company in the country and also around the world.
The company offers various products for daily basis, and the name was already familiar out of country. They have multiple malls under their name, and everytime they would introduce a new product to the world, it will instantly came first on the chart and became most requested product.
But that was all in the past, as the Ramirez Corporation today was slowly falls apart. Since his uncle took over the company years ago, the stock market of the company keeps going down, and numerous of people complaint about the quality of their products.
Of course Daniella would know this. She's a hacker. She was quite before, yes, but it doesn't mean she was oblivious about the company. Her family's property. In just one night, she could find every strong proof to put her uncle back to where he is belong.
Below them.
She is not that heartless, though, she still considering her uncle's family well-being, after their only source of money was snatched back by the real owner. Oh no, she still have the empathy.
But as minutes goes by, she could feel her patient wearing thin.
"What do you mean???!!!! Ramirez Corporation is rightfully mine!! Who are you kids to take it back from me??" his round face now flushes red with anger, as he roared toward Daniella.
If they were in a cartoon world now, she sure smokes will coming out of his too small ears and his round big nose, steaming like it would when you boiling water.
She practically snickers out loud on her thoughts, and her uncle looks at her like she was some mad woman who's now randomly throwing a tantrum in front of someone big.
"What the hell are you laughing at, woman??!!" he yelled, and she steps a couple back, avoiding his disgusting saliva as he spits at her.
'Eww, gross.' she had thought.
In the corner of her eyes, she could see Daniel took a protective step in front of her, blocking the old man's view of his beloved twin.
"Watch your mouth, uncle. You wouldn't want to regret your actions now." he said calmly, but one couldn't ignore the venom in his words.
Daniel very rarely get angry. But when he does, no one could keep him down from doing whatever he wants.
She knows this, but sadly, her uncle don't. And that is very bad even for his cruel uncle.
She still have conscience. Well, does she?
The corner of her lips tugged up in a way that looks so threatening. Without looking at her brother, and instead just stared straight at the old man in front of them, she put her palm flat on his chest, and pat it twice.
Daniel glanced toward his sister and immediately smirked. Just by that familiar glistening in her eyes,the way her eyes twinkle with mischief, he knew what is coming to his unfortunate uncle now. He could rest assured that his resentment toward his uncle just now will soon dissipate. And of course, in Daniella's way.
'Uh, oh. Uncle is a dead meat now~' he sang in his mind.
The old man, clearly oblivious to the dangerous of the situation he was in now, looks at the exchanging between the twins with eyes full of confusion and hatred.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Uncle, calm down. If someone isn't careful now, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do if he ruins your pretty little life. Now, is it true, Simon?"
The said man jumped on his feet, clearly shocks when his name suddenly was mentioned. His already trembled form, became more trembling with definite fear when he realised the situation he was in.He gulped with difficulty, raising his pale face to look at the woman oozing with power and authority.
He quickly opened his mouth to speak, his voice came out a lot shaky than he expected.
"Y-yes,madam."
Daniella turned her attention back to her uncle, and god, Simon couldn't express how thankful he was when the weight of the twins stares lifted off his shoulders. He couldn't care less about everyone's stare on him, because he rather being stared by the entire world than being under the twins gazes. That's how terrifying the twins are.
But, of course. Nobody knows. And he himself perplexed with his attitude, his fear toward the two, when they didn't even do anything to him. But the power surrounds their forms are unmistakable. He wonders if he is true with his instinct to not mess up with them?
"I have evidences, you know. And they are in front of you now. What else do you want to deny about?" she asked her uncle, all the while scanning her perfect nails, grazing them with each other as if she was boring with this situation now.
"I don't believe you, bitch!! This is all nonsense!!", he ran his arms across the long meeting table that was within his reach, sending the files she claims evidences flying across the floor, landing with thuds.
She watched her raging uncle create a sense in front of his employees with a blank face.
"Oh, I wouldn't do that if I was you." Daniel speaks from beside her, something mischief lacing his words.
Daniella still quite, looking at the files on the floor lying helplessly. Silence coming in, and everyone shifts uncomfortably on their seats, can not bear the dead silence, like a calm before storm. It was only seconds actually, but it feels like hours. If someone was to drop a needle now, the sound for sure will be echoing through the room.
Everyone was looking at Daniella expectantly, waiting for her to crack and bursted with anger, and landing misery on each one of them. But instead, her lips tilted up, forming a beautiful smile across her face. If they was in normal situation, they would feel calm looking at her sweet smile. But now, there's something they couldn't fathom in her smile that sends shiver down their spines. Oh my god, if this pretty girl is really their new boss as she exclaimed, they would live a life full of fear!
She suddenly snapped her fingers, the sound loud and clear in the room. Even her uncle previous anger decreases a bit, replacing with one could definitely see in his eyes, fear.
The second she snapped her delicate fingers, the double door of the room clicked open, and a set of shining black shoes come through, followed by a tall man in his suit, some files between his side and inner arm. Strands of grey could clearly be seen between his once black hair.
He walks gracefully, crossing the room to Daniella, as if he knows what he was doing.
"Im sure you know him, Uncle, by the look on your face.", she lets out a chuckle. "But I'll introduce him anyway, since my people here—," she waves her arm with her palm faces the sky, "—still in question of who is exactly this man.", she turns at the staffs, sending sweet smiles before continuing her speech, "I introduce Mr Alex Ruiz, our family's lawyer, since my late grandpa was alive. He responsible for making sure our grandpa's wealth is in the right hand." she smiles meaningfully.
She then nod to the greyish man.
He didn't waste another time, as he went straight to business," I will be reading Master Nathaniel Ramirez's will, the former CEO of Ramirez Corporation, that he himself wrote before he died. "he stopped himself for a moment, before he continued," I, Nathaniel Ramirez, residing at the Ramirez Mansion in London, declare this to be my will. After my death, all my tangible personal property, all my residents and estates ;which means the biggest shares in Ramirez Corporation, my estates in England, Italy, France, America, Arabia, China and another ones across the world to my beloved children, Daniel Xandro Ramirez and Daniella Xavia Ramirez, in equal shares, to be divided by themselves, for I trust them to be equal. "the lawyer stopped, cleared his throat.
Her uncle was back red in anger, or maybe humiliation? She giggled and Daniel chuckled looking at him. Her uncle couldn't care more about them, because now he seems frustrated, thinking about he and his family's future.
"I also give all my other properties, such as shares in another companies, my wealth and vehicles. All of this will be given to them after they reached the age of 18,in our opinion, of sound mind, memory and understanding, and not under any restraint or in any respect incompetent to manage the properties. I also give my collection of books to my lovely children, and they must share it together. But until they reached the age 18,these properties will be take care of my foster sister and her husband, Gertrude Addison and Bentley Addison. "
Uncle's face now light up and he quickly jump in," Ha! The company is still mine! You can't take it from me!!! "he shrieked, pointed an accusing finger toward Daniella and Daniel.
Daniella thought, how can her uncle be such an idiot? Sooner or later, it will all be their's.
" I'm sorry, Mr Bentley. But Mr and Miss Ramirez here have already reached the age of 18, yesterday. And this means they are to own this company, and also other properties as was written in the late Master Ramirez's will." Mr Alex calmly argued, leaving uncle Bentley speechless.
" Give me that! "he snatched the will and read it himself, before unshockingly crumple and torn it in front of everyone.
There's a little gasp here and there, but Daniella and Daniel keep calm.
" Tsk, uncle. Such an attitude! You shouldn't do that in front of us, 'kids'. Right?" Daniella spoke in playful manner.
"Ha! Now you don't have proves now! You still couldn't take this company from me!!" he desperately shouted, frantically looking at everyone.
Mr Alex sighed. "You know I can arrest you for disrespecting me as an executor, and for disrespecting the will. You can be in jail, Mr Bentley. Besides, that's just a copy, not the original." he finished sternly.
The double door again was slammed open, and a few securities came in.
" Please see yourself, uncle. "she gestured to the door. "Or I can make you".
Uncle Bentley roughly took his coat and stormed out of the room. At least, he could still save the rest of his dignity.
Daniella turned to Mr Alex, "Thank you, Sir, for your cooperation."
"Its my job, Miss Ramirez. If you have questions, just ask me."
"Yes,sir.Thanks again for your help."
"Yes, I'll see myself out, Mr and Miss Ramirez." he bowed a little, and received nods from Daniel and Daniella, before he stepped out of the room.
"Okay," she turned to her staffs, "where were we?" she smiles.
And then, that's the beginning of the people's suffering.
