Prologue
"Sir, your chauffeur has arrived," the woman in a business suit said as she followed him from his office. A stack of folders and papers were in both her hands while she was jumbling her cell phone.
"Cancel all my appointments, Hanami. Tell my chauffeur that I'm on my way down. Send a fax on the Unified Inc. about the copy of the business contract… and re-schedule my meeting with Mr. Sasuke," he commanded while heading to the elevator.
"Yes, sir. Anything else?" she inquired knowing that there is something more on her employer's mind.
"Tell Ms. Kounji that I'm going to accompany her in that party and if my sister will call, tell her to call me on my cell phone," he said as the elevator door closed.
Three… two… one… The elevator door opened with the man clad in a designer suit. People whom he passes by would bow to him in respect. They admire what his success but they loath him as a manager.
Ranma Masaki is an extraordinary man. He worked himself up to finish his education. His mother, Nodoka, died when he was in his sophomore year in college and ever since that day he swore to himself that he would be rich. Two years later, he graduated his degree on Business Administration. He immediately set up his own business from a student loan he got. With luck and hard work, his business became successful and within one year, his gross had escalated from ten thousand to one million.
Three years later, he is sitting on his limo, has his own chauffeur, owns three major companies each earning from four hundred fifty million to one billion and possesses three states outside the metropolis and a grand house at the heart of it. He was featured as the entrepreneur of the year twice in different magazines and was included in the top 25 Bachelors in the country where he was number eight. Women go crazy over him and men despised him. His charm, good looks, wealth and fame makes him so irresistible and yet he seems aloof to the opposite sex. Their vile attempt to seduce him and schemes in forcing him to marry were easily rejected. This wildness in him had trigger women's interest in catching him. Just the following year, he has three women claiming that he was the father of their children and six indecent proposals. His reaction to all of these was a huge smile and some restraining order.
Managing three big businesses is tough but Ranma is tougher. He was able to manage all three of his business without any help. His foresight in what to do next is a major help on his businesses and it's a gift that he has always believed on. Many admire his abilities but to his employees, Ranma Masaki is a ruthless, moneymaking machine. He is heartless when it comes to business. All days is a day for work to him that even holidays is not an exemption if not for the government that have enforced laws on it, he would have required his employees to work..
Ranma wasn't like that before. He was a good man: generous and kind. Just like his mother, he once believed and loved the people around him. Even though they were poor, he had always found something to cheer him up. His mother and his twin sister are his treasures in his life. But one incident changed him into the monster he is today.
Seeing him, the security opened the limousine and let him enter. As soon as he was settled, the driver speeds away. Avoiding the traffic sections of the city, the chauffeur smoothly drove the limo in to the right way, which they can easily pass.
Fifteen minutes passed and they have all ready arrived at the place.
The cemetery was quiet and not a single soul was wandering in the place. The man in the business attire went out and headed to someone's grave, someone who's close to his heart. He placed a bouquet of flowers in it that he had bought on the way.
"Happy Birthday, mom," he greeted as his fingers traced the inscription in the stone which 'Nodoka Masaki' was written in bold letters.
A moment of silence passed before the young man spoke again. This time it was full of anguish "The time has come to claim what is rightfully ours, mom," clenching his knuckles as he said it.
This is the first that Ranma had to leave his office for the entire day. Birthdays, Christmas and other holidays, he spent it at his office alone. Even when his sister was around, he paid little attention to her. Somehow, he felt that everything wasn't the same without his mother. His mind was focus on his work and his businesses. However, today it was different from all the days that passed. It was the fifth year of his mother's death anniversary. The day that he had marked on his wallet calendar, which would be the beginning of his revenge.
