The massive guards stepped forward, grabbing Richard by the arms of his expensive suit and violently dragging him off his knees. He kicked and thrashed, crying and screaming pathetic apologies as they dragged him out of the elite boardroom. Chloe was grabbed next, her designer heels slipping on the floor as she was thrown out into the hallway alongside the ruined man she had conspired with.
The heavy glass doors swung shut, entirely cutting off the pathetic sounds of their destruction.
The twelve elite board members stood completely silent, profoundly terrified by the sheer, absolute power the young pregnant woman had just displayed.

Elena slowly sat down in the seat of absolute power. She gently rested both of her hands on her swollen belly, feeling the strong, comforting kick of her unborn child.

She was the undisputed queen of the empire.
