Rejected by My Family, Claimed by the Galactic Commander
I woke up to the stench of rust and rotting flesh, no longer a master botanist who commanded life itself, but a D-class exile dumped on a wasteland planet. Memories that weren't mine flooded in. I was framed by my stepsister, betrayed by my fiancé, and banished by my own family to the Ashfall Peninsula to die. The original girl actually starved to death in despair. The moment I opened my eyes, a scavenger tried to smash my skull with a rusty pipe just to eat me. After I killed him to survive, I discovered a harsher truth: in this universe, plant seeds are classified as A-level strategic resources, completely monopolized by the Imperium. But the universe had a sick sense of humor. A mandatory background scan suddenly triggered a galactic broadcast: I, the exiled trash, was a perfect genetic match for the Imperium's top war hero, General Alexander Orr. The family that ruthlessly erased my existence instantly saw me as a golden ticket. My cheating ex-fiancé was dispatched to drag me back, furious that his "property" was matched with someone else. They all thought I was still that weak, naive girl they could manipulate. But as I held the pure, glowing Life Source Crystals I had secretly extracted from the scrap heap, a cold smile crept onto my face. "I didn't come here to die. I came here to build an empire." I turned my back on the galactic broadcast and stepped into the deadly wilderness.Sydney, Australia.
Caldwell Publishing Office.
"Mornin', Serena!"
Serena looked up from her laptop and to greet her colleague back. She curiously frowned when she saw Nicky smiling from ear to ear, and there's something about her that seems a bit... Weird.
"Morning, Nicky. Wait, what's with that smile?" Serena asks, while observing her bestfriend-slash-co-worker.
Nicky averted her blue eyes away from Serena's gaze while acting so strange.
"Tell me... Is there something that I need to know?" Serena did a follow-up question.
Nicky bit her lip, and it was obvious that she is hiding something.
"Well, you see---!" Nicky wasn't able to finish her sentence when they heard a familiar voice behind them.
"I believe we're still in the middle of working hours, and I expect you to focus on your work, Miss Hughman." it was the CEO of Caldwell Publishing, Mrs. Rosie Caldwell.
Nicky's face became red like a steamed crab after they heard their Boss. Serena took the opportunity to cover up for her friend.
"Nicky was just asking for some opinions regarding her article, Boss. I apologize for the inconvenience." she made up an excuse to save her friend.
Serena saw Nicky who's giving her a secret smile, while looking relieved.
"Alright then. You should concentrate on your work. We have lots of things to do today." Boss Caldwell reminded them.
"Yes, Boss." Serena and Nicky said in unison.
Both of them went back to work, but Serena is planning to have a talk with Nicky later on.
She will have a talk with her bestfriend later. It's obvious that Nicky got some juicy news for her, and she wants to know more about it.
After a few moments, Serena suddenly received a call from the CEO's office.
"Hello, Boss?"
"Come to my office as soon as possible, Miss Montana. I need to talk to you about something important." Mrs. Caldwelll said it all in one breath, and Serena knew that it was something serious since her boss called her by her last name.
Their Boss is known for being close to her employees, and she calls them on a first name basis. However, if there's something wrong, their old Boss calls them by their surnames...
"Yes, Boss..." responded, while feeling nervous.
Serena closed her laptop and took out her pen and paper to write down all of their Boss's agenda for that closed meeting.
She's also thinking that maybe she did something wrong on her manuscript and the Boss will just reject it or she will ask for revision... There are many things that is going on her mind while she's making her way towards the CEO's Office.
After a few minutes, she is now standing by the door of the CEO's Office. Serena took a deep, calming breath, then afterwards, she knocked at the door twice.
"Come in." she heard Mrs.Caldwell's voice.
"Well, this is it." Serena whispered to herself.
She opens the door and enters the room.
She saw Mrs. Caldwell looking at her with a serious expression on her face.
"Please take a seat. I want you to calm down and listen to me carefully." the old woman seriously stated.
Serena's heart started beating faster after she heard her Boss' remark. She has this feeling that she's going to be fired. She just feels sad to leave the company because she loves working here, and she treats everyone like a family member...
“Miss Montana?”
Serena's train of thoughts stopped in a halt when she heard Mrs. Caldwell's voice again.
"O-Oh, I'm sorry..." Serena apologized. She took a seat as her legs trembles with extreme nervousness.
"Let's start with the meeting, then. Miss Montana, how long have you been working with us?" Mrs. Caldwell began.
