Family. Family is trouble. If nothing else, that's what Ebony learned.
Much like love, it was bad for you. Very bad. It ruined lives, it complicated things, and it took away from business.
Ebony vowed when she turned 18, that she would never fall in love, and never have anything to do with her family again. So far, she had done a good job.
Ebony did however find herself a boyfriend because she needed the sex- that and she wanted Power. Power and Chaos, her life long dream- Zoot was supposed to give it to her but then he fell for her- her being Trudy- and his days of Martin returned.
Ebony searched and searched for power, and then she found it- in the form of a man named Ramone Kingsley aka Ram.
Ram was a year or so older than her, he was a genius, thanks to his family money from the government- Ram was able to set up his own computer company. It grew- it was the largest most profitable company in the entire city. Ram had hand selected his programmers- Ebony's sisters had been two of invitees. Along with a man named Jay McKnight, and another named Josh Roberts aka Mega.
Siva and Ebony got along- sometimes. Back when they had gotten along better, Siva had introduced Ebony to Ram, Ram wanted Ebony- and Ebony seeing an opportunity for power- took it- took him.
Ram was the ticket- and he had proved that so far for three years. Ebony had gone from a well off family- to being the richest woman in the city thanks in part to Ram's company. She was vice chairperson on his board of trustee's, his lover, his wife, and stock's highest shareholder. Indeed, Ebony was living the good life, and she wasn't even required to love Ram just to sleep with him- and she did so quite willingly too. Though apparently Ram thought she was really did love him- poor fool.
However, Ram was loved- oh yes he was- by Ebony's own sister, the queen of trouble. She was the reason why Ebony hated family to begin with, her darling sister, and the devil, Java. Java couldn't be more disgusted. One part of her wanted to kill Ram for being stupid, and the other wanted nothing more to replace Ebony in his eyes.
The only problem, Ram though a genius, was dense when it came to people's feelings. He was ignorant to Ebony and Java's true feelings. He also refused to believe Java's claims that Ebony was a lying, cheating, whore.
Java though had a plan, a plan to take down Ebony- to get Ram for herself, and it only took one person, Ram's not so faithful sidekick- Mega. She knew Mega wouldn't agree willingly and that's why there was blackmail- and boy did Java have ton of that.
Mega, oh he was a piece of work in himself. Mega had his own fair share of trouble with family. Like Ebony, he trusted no one especially his family. He hated his brother, Slade with a passion. He worked hard to knife people in the back- Ram being one of them. Under Ram's nose, Mega had planned hostile takeovers, caused trouble within the board, managed to sabotage a deal or two, and stole a couple hundred thousand dollars. Mega was a sly one. Ram had no clue- but Java- she had a clue- plenty in fact- hardcore proof. If Mega wouldn't help her, he was dead in the water. She knew it and soon so would he.
Java smirked as she stepped into his office.
"Got a few minutes?" she asked.
Mega looked up from his desk, "Not particularly, I like to avoid meetings with demons," he replied dully looking at his computer.
"Okay, fine then- but I wonder what Ram will do when he hears about this recent plan involving a certain contract that you managed cost him".
That worked- Mega froze up, "How in the hell do you even know about that?" he demanded looking up.
Java smirked dangerously flashing around the papers, and folder she had in her hands, "It's called digging and bribing- you should try it- oh wait you already have," she said taking a seat across from him.
"Java- you have money- why bother blackmailing me?" he said emotionless moving his feet to the desk giving her a look as to try, and figure out why.
"If I wanted money, I could do the same things you were. How about this- Ram. I want Ram," Java stated bored, she didn't want to betray anything after all.
"So- I'm not a dating service, and I don't sleep with guy, so how you expect to do anything..."
"Stop being a prick you know what I want," Java said with a growl.
Mega rolled his eyes, "Do I really have to?"
"It's the only way"
Mega slammed his head on the desk, "There's a lot of things you can do to me that are painful but this- nothing is worse than spending time with EBONY".
Java smiled darkly, "Well you'll be doing a lot more than "spending time" with her if you get my meaning. Who knows you might actually have fun sleeping with her and ruining her life. Learn to live a little- you are quite boring".
"No, actually I'm emotionless there's a difference- if I was boring there's no way you would come to me," he said.
"True. I'd ask if you know had to do it, but you're a master at manipulation. I'm sure you can handle it," Java replied.
"This won't be a problem. It'll take a month- tops," Mega said.
"Good, when it's done- these files here- will just disappear," she replied getting up.
Mega looked at her, "I can dump her though after you get Ram right, because there's no way in hell I'm spending any extra time with that bitch," he said watching her leave.
"Oh no, in fact- I'm hoping you make suffer- suffer a thousand times over".

(Same time)
"Ebony, how wonderful to see you. I thought you were at home," Ram said surprised as she appeared suddenly walking out of an office- Jay's to be exact.
She looked rather... flustered to say the least.
"Oh, I decided to um go shopping and see you," she replied quickly looking over at Jay who had a rather guilty expression on his face at this current moment.
"What were you doing with Jay?" Ram asked but before Ebony could answer Java came strutting in with her very revealing business suit and high heels.
"Oh probably having a knock with him in his office," Java said brushing her sister off and moving in front of Ram.
Jay turned red, Ebony flashed an angry look at her, and Java smirked.
Ram looked equally pissed though, "You know that's not true," Ram said tightly.
"Yea," Ebony added looking at her.
Java rolled eyes, "Of course, and just happened to walk into Jay's office to find out where Ram was".
"That's it exactly," both her and Jay said at the same time.
Ram looked at Java, "See? She must have thought I was out or something- so what is it Java?"
Java handed him a stack of papers, "The Morris client agreement- they won't sell any of our products until you sign them all".
"Figures. How's the newest programming coming?" Ram asked Jay.
"Should be up and running by the end of the week," Jay added.
"Good, so Ebony I was thinking we could go out later perhaps, dinner?" asked Ram.
Ebony nodded, "Sure. At Vionla's say 9nish?"
"It's a plan"
Ebony then turned and left sharply without another word.
Jay went back into his office.
Java then took her move, "But Ram, we were supposed to test out those issues with TB program tonight, remember?" she exclaimed.
Ram looked at her... "I thought that was tomorrow".
"No, it was today- ask you're assistant, it was planned for today," Java replied lying.
Ram always trusted Java, he sometimes thought she was seeing things, but nine out of ten times, he believed her, he felt no reason to question judgment now.
"Okay, then I'll call Ebony and cancel," he replied heading to grab the phone.
"NO! Don't do that, she'll think you were upset at her for my wrong assumption. How about we send Mega to keep her company, I mean it's not like he has a girlfriend or anything- he could use the social life," Java replied.
Ram thought for a second, "Good idea, I'll go inform him right now of his duty".

Ebony sighed... she really had no interest in this whole affair, why did she ever agree to go?
She worked on getting ready knowing it was pointless. Ram would do her even looking like a slob. He was that obsessed.
She also hated that fact that Java had caught her and Jay. She was playing with fire, she knew but that- but it felt good. He was right there- and so easy. All she had to do was pretend to like Jay and he fell for it. Hook line and sinker. Much like Ram had.
However, her reasoning for going after Jay had nothing to do with money or power but instead revenge. Jay, back when they had been a couple years back cheated on her with Amber- her worst enemy from childhood. Now Ebony was paying him back.
She knew he wanted her because Amber had went back to Bray, and Trudy had Martin. He wanted to start over- what he failed to understand Ebony didn't forgive or forget. He was now her little plaything that made believe that she would Ram for eventually- ha! That wasn't about to happen, and it would tons of fun when Jay finally realised that.
Ebony finally got up and left- ready to do her job, which make Ram think that everything was perfect- so perfect that it was almost obvious it was too perfect. Ebony- was good- very good.

(Short time later)
Ebony finally showed up, she went up to the host.
"Ebony Kingsley"
"Ah yes, right this way, you're husband has been waiting patiently for almost twenty minutes," the man replied motioning for her to follow.
Ebony looked at the man oddly- her husband, Ram?! Ram was never on time for anything- had she just stepped into the twilight zone?
Ebony looked around the sights not even thinking that they were there yet, she expected to hear the loud disgusting voice of Ram but instead she heard.
"Don't you just take forever, you know some of us have been waiting here," an impatient voice announced.
Ebony's mouth flew open as the looked down and saw a carefully seated, cool, and but obviously annoyed Mega.
"What the hell are you doing here?" she said beside herself.
Mega sneered, "Ram's brilliant idea," he said sarcastically.
Ebony wanted to die, why him, why why why? Couldn't Ram sent someone else, Jay... like last time? Or hell even Wizard, but Mega?! She hated Mega, and well hey the feelings were mutual all around.
"He must have lost his mind"
"My sentiments exactly"
A silence occurred for roughly ten minutes.
"So what's good around here anyway?" he said dryly changing the subject trying to seem too hostile or this plan of Java's was never going to work.
"Everything but my advice is the pasta with calms," she said evenly.
"Okay then," he said.
Ebony looked at Mega, and Mega looked back oh yea, this was going to be a long night. A very long night.
