Chapter 72: Ties that needs to be severed.
Nyx was in her study, going through all the documents of Prince industries that she asked from Rodney.
She was currently going through a document on one of the branches here in Country O. The documents on paper looks fine and with the numbers and reports that they have submitted it, the profit margins are good and they are requesting more additional funds for expansion so they say.
"Complete Bull S*it!!" Nyx mutters under her breath.
That damn old man! Lyle Prince.
Embezzling company funds for his own use and leeching off!
Nyx and Aaron investigated that the branch is nothing but an empty shell.
All for appearance and nothing more.
Every employee on that branch is under her uncle Lyle.
The financial reports on the table in front of her are all fabricated by her uncle Lyle.
This is just the tip of an iceberg, Nyx thought.
There's a large scale systematic corruption plot running on for who knows how many years on Prince Industries.
Just thinking about it makes her head throb in distress.
She needs to investigate the corruption going inside Prince industries.
But to do that she needs people that she can trust inside the Prince industries.
"Ahh! What a pain!" Nyx muttered.
'Nameless' still haven't started out yet and she is thinking about loyal subordinates.
Nyx doesn't trust any of the people who pledged loyalty towards her due to her parents, their previous master and being the Prince heiress.
They all are subordinates of her parents, not hers.
Who's to say they will not betray her?
She doesn't know most of them and has never met them, how can she tell they are loyal to her when she doesn't know anything about them.
And the people she knows are the people, who are being hypocritical expecting her to lead them yet not trusting her to lead at the same time.
It doesn't make sense at all. What the f*ck does it means?
'Do you want me to be the leader of the Prince family or not, just say it outright! If you do then tell me everything! If you do not, then just shut the f**k up! And leave me alone.' Nyx screamed in her mind.
Aurora who was studying on her own desk at her place suddenly clutched her head in pain.
She can clearly hear Nyx screaming through their telepathic channel.
"Oiii! I'm trying to study, so shut up!!!" Aurora shouted through their telepathic connection to Nyx.
Nyx hearing Aurora, shut up.
She calmed herself down by breathing in and out.
Then looked back at the documents on the desk.
Sighing, she tidied up the documents and placed them on the drawers of the desk locking it up.
Looking at the time at the clock on her desk, she got up and made her way down to the dining hall.
It's 1 pm, ahh! she forgot lunch.
~~~
Arriving at the main hall, Nyx saw Rodney and Max talking and Kira was at their side quietly listening to their conversation.
Ever since that day, that Nyx gave a 'Blood warning' to the three of them. They have become distant.
Nyx was saddened by their current relation of 'Master and servant'.
Rodney, Max and Kira, they were the ones who raised her.
Kira was like a mother to her but now?
"Nothing more than a faithful retainer, I guess" Nyx muttered.
"Kira!" Nyx called out to Kira.
Kira turned around and saw Nyx standing not too far away.
She quickly walked toward Nyx and stood in front of her, and gave a bow to Nyx.
"Yea, my lady." Kira said bowing to Nyx.
"Hmm, I'm quite hungry, prepare some food for me." Nyx said before she started walking towards the dining hall to take a seat at the dining table and wait for her food there.
"Yes, my lady. I will go ask the chef to prepare your lunch and bring it to you at the dining table." Kira nodded replying to Nyx.
"Rodney, have you had your lunch?" Nyx asked turning to Rodney who was speaking with Max until Nyx arrived at the hall.
"No, my lady. I have not." Rodney replied.
"What about you, Max." Nyx also asked Max.
"Me, neither my lady." Replied Max.
"I see, so come have lunch with me. And Kira since you never eat till I have eaten, so come you too will join with us. Let us have lunch together, everyone." Nyx said leading the three of them to the dining hall.
This lunch, no, this meal will be the last meal they will have together.
As from now on, if she were take everything upon her hands.
She has to sever the ties that holds her back to do so.
~~~
Nyx just finished her lunch.
She was looking at some news articles on Prince industries on her phone.
"My lady, may I ask why have you instructed the maids to clean up one of the guest rooms downstairs?" Max asked Nyx, he has a weird feeling that something big is about to happen today and that thing is not gonna be something good for any of the others or himself but Nyx.
"Hmm, about that. I have hired a personal bodyguard for myself, who will be my 'SHADOW' from the moment he starts working from today onwards. Not only that but also the said 'SHADOW' will be my Personal Assistant in the future when I join the Prince industries." Nyx said raising her voice a little, staring at Max.
Silence descended on the dining table.
When the three of them, Rodney, Max and Kira heard Nyx their mind froze for a moment.
"Whaaat?" Max raised his voice in disbelief.
"How could you decide on something serious like that without talking to any of us!!! I am the head of security, you should have talked with me about this first!" Max said raising his voice in anger.
He was angry at Nyx that she hired someone who knows who, without consulting with him. Nyx's security is the most important thing to them their priority at first and foremost is to keep her safe.
Nyx's security is not a joke to them that anyone capable is fine, there are many people after her life who knows what the person Nyx hired is not someone sent by her enemies or something.
Max was about to say something when Nyx spoke up.
"Silence!"
There wasn't a single hint of emotion on her face.
