PROLOGUE...
Emotions were pathetic...
"You're fired"
"Bu..t" The man stood there devastated.

Others... never mattered
"Mr. Sawara, its the final offer..."
"But, the... price... it's low.. I built it with everything I had... You cannot do this.." The man stood there pathetically, pleading for mercy.
When that didn't work he said:
"Fine! I shall find another dealer who would give me much better price!" the man turned around to walk away but froze at the final statement.
"The medical bills: Would it wait till your next dealer arrives? "
That hit a nerve. The man clenched his fists tightly and eyes burnt with unshed tears.
"That's what I thought"
A screeching of chair was heard and then a rhythmic clicking of heels coming closer to him. The clicking stopped and the person who loathed stood beside him.
"The check will be sent."
With that said, the merciless business woman walked out of the door, leaving a weeping man behind whose years of hard work she crumbled to the ground.
Nothing else mattered... except... her empire.

AT THE OFFICE...
"Madam..Your meetings have been cancelled and appointed maid will be at your home tomorrow 7 am."
"Ahh. Thank you. I shall be taking my leave now since nothing is pending " the hard headed business woman said.
"Of course madame " The secretary bowed her headout of respect as her employer passed her.
The woman entered her private elevator and rode down to the parking lot. She got in her car and drove off to her residence.
10 years ago...
"Mother please allow me to go to Med school" A younger version of the hard headed business woman pleaded with tears in her eyes.
"I already gave you my answer. And which word in my sentence do you not understand " Her mother shouted.
"Please... " a heart wrenching sob evoke from her.
"Sakura! Enough! " her mother shouted. The elder woman caught Sakura by her hair and slapped her cheek.
Sakura gasped and clutched her cheek with one hand and her hair with another. The elder woman tightened her hold on her daughter's hair. A sharp pain shot throughout her scalp at her mother's hold and tears rolled down her cheeks.
The elder woman harshly pushed her daughter on the bed. Sakura fell on to the bed violently. She watched in horror as her mother drew closer.
With an inch of separation between their faces, the elder woman glared down at her daughter all the while squeezing her neck. Sakura gripped her mother's hand, desperately trying to push her away
" Had you been a normal girl, I would have sold you to the highest bidder" her mother sneered.
With that said the older woman left the room.
