>>>> SIX YEARS LATER <<<<
^^^^
Maya stared at the mirror and smiled at her reflection. She was no longer staring at the young girl who used to be naive and helpless. She was gazing at the top CEO in the country.
It had been seven years since she was almost assassinated and then hit by a car. These seven years had been years of accomplishments and there wasn't a second of it that she didn't relish.
Maya recalled how she narrowly escaped death and how being hit by a car turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
After the accident, she was rushed to the hospital and fortunately for her, the car owner was a famous and wealthy business tycoon. He felt guilty for almost killing her and he decided to change her life.
He altered Maya's life for the better, he took care of her and never tried any perverted acts against her. He treated Maya better than anyone had ever treated her except her parents.
He didn't just leave her to be a liability but rather, paid for her schooling and assisted her in setting up her own company.
In three years, it had become the best automobile company in the country.
Maya pushed her thoughts aside and stared at her beautiful figure that reflected in the mirror, her hips had gotten wider and her skin flawless.
She was wearing a black dress that hugged her skin and had straps below her shoulders. It made her hourglass shape more prominent.
Maya recalled the first time she wore an expensive dress and it made her laugh. She couldn't recognize herself in the mirror after the glow-up.
"You've changed so much," Maya smiled broadly and rubbed her hands on her hips.
Her phone rang and she sauntered to the bed, she answered the call and it was her Manager.
"Hello, Ma'am! you are late for your meeting," He said with desperation in his voice.
Today, Maya was supposed to meet most of the CEOs of the automobile companies. They were important tycoons and have had their businesses for years but when hers started mine, it quickly overtook theirs.
Her ideas were more modern and technological, resulting in hers reaching the top in such a short span of years.
Maya rolled her eyes and responded; "I will be there, If they are tired of waiting then the door is there for them to use."
She quickly hung up and went to check if her makeup was smeared. She had to look perfect.
Maya picked up her bag from the dressing table and left her room.

Maya continued staring out of the window till the car drove into the large company surroundings. Her company had one of the best buildings, it was made by one of the most trained and highly paid architects.
It was the talk of the town during its building process.
Her eyes darted to her bag which she grabbed. The car door was opened by her chauffeur and Maya stepped out with a little smile on her lips.
She sauntered into the company and the second she stepped in; the workers all stopped their chattering and returned to their normal working posts.
"Good morning, Ma'am!"
"Good morning Director!"
They greeted Maya as she passed, to some she replied and the others, she nodded.
She sauntered into the elevator and went straight to the boardroom where the meeting was being held. Sauntering inside, they all greeted her with respect but couldn't help murmuring about her lateness.
"She didn't even have the courtesy to apologize," one of the CEOs said to the other.
"I don't blame her, What's a young girl like her doing in such a position?" the other replied.
Maya acted like their words didn't matter because, for a long time, she had stopped caring about what people thought about her.
She didn't give a fuck!.
Her manager offered her a seat respectfully and she sat down. He sat beside her and Maya turned to him, instructing him to address them.
"Good day ladies and gentlemen, I am glad that we can be here and talk about business. I hope that we will be able to form a good partnership and you may have a profitable investment" Brian, Maya's manager said, standing.
They all clapped and nodded their heads.
Maya inhaled sharply, there was this scent that was too familiar. Her eyes shifted to studying the faces of the twelve company holders and her eyes met with a pair of striking dark eyes that brought memories.
She gasped in shock, her heart raced and her wolf became restless at the sight of him. It was no other than Eric.
The same man who cheated and rejected her, and even went to the extreme lengths of attempting to end my life was right before her presence, among the CEOs.
He had become more handsome and alluring over the years. Maya closed her mouth and quickly looked away to avoid attracting the attention of others.
Her eyes lowered not in a show of lowliness but to avoid making a scene. She was boiling inside that this unremorseful and sinister Eric had the guts to show his face after sending people to assassinate her.
When Maya glanced at Eric's face, she noticed the smug smile on his lips and it made her more infuriated. How could he smile at her after he almost ruined her life?
Rejecting her wasn't enough for him, he had to attempt killing her to ascertain that she would never be an obstacle to his happiness. A happiness which he knew was corrupt and disgusting.
Looking at herself presently and even in the past, Eunice wasn't half of the woman that she was but still wasn't content with the humiliation she experienced.
What would have become of me if if she ended up disabled or in a coma after that accident?? Maya was honestly shocked by the audacity he had to show his face.
Such a despicable fellow!!!, Any affection she had before had been replaced with deep hatred.
She exhaled and refused to act like the woman he could easily intimidate. She raised her gaze and turned her attention to Brian, her manager who was still speaking.
Throughout the meeting, Eric had his eyes on Maya.
It was so intense that Maya became nervous and extremely uncomfortable in the boardroom.
It felt like the air conditioner had stopped functioning because her body was suddenly heating up and her palms were sweating. She hated his gaze on her, she wanted to look at him but she couldn't.
Maya was waiting impatiently for the meeting to end so she could escape. She wondered why he was one of the CEOs; he was an Alpha and had no business in the affairs of a company.
Once the meeting was over, Maya exhaled and quickly grabbed her bag. She rushed out of the boardroom without saying goodbye or exchanging any pleasantries.
Being in the same room with that bastard was tormenting her. She rushed to the elevator which was linked to her office. She had to breathe properly, that had been extremely difficult with Eric staring at her.
She pressed the elevator button multiple times before it opened. Sauntering in, she pressed another button for it to close but as the elevator was about to close Maya saw someone's foot appear in between.
A gasp escaped her lips and she stepped back. Her eyes widened when the elevator doors opened again and her eyes beheld Eric.
He walked in and pressed the buttons himself but Maya couldn't bear being in the same place with him again. She tried absconding from the elevator but he grasped her arm.
"Leave me alone, you scumbag!" She shrieked and hit him with her palm but in a swift move, her back got slammed against the elevator wall.
"Let go of me" She yelled and tried wriggling out of his grip but it was impossible. He had his hold on her like a vice.
He stepped closer and Maya's body quivered from the closeness of their bodies.
Her body trembled more terribly as she saw the hunger in his eyes, the raw and lustful desire in his gaze.
When she glanced at his face, she noticed the smug smile on his lips and it made her more infuriated. How could he smile at her after he almost ruined her life?
