38. Secret personality
Marcelline's Secret Domain — The CEO's Sanctuary..
The breakfast chaos had finally subsided.
Victor, Amara, and Mia had departed for their plans, leaving the palace quieter but still warm from lingering laughter.
Sister Florence had returned to the church, tending to the orphanage with her usual love and care.
Marcelline walked calmly down the polished marble halls of the mansion, her steps echoing softly.
She carried her assignment files and the meticulously arranged plans for her next Fluxboat project.
She reached her private office—a space she had built deep within her mansion, a sanctuary that matched her elegance and deadly precision.
The office was a blend of modern technology and subtle mystic touches:
Transparent holographic screens floated midair.
Ancient sigils were etched into the desk and walls—visible only to those with magical sight.
Plush seating and ambient lighting made the space inviting, but every object radiated power, control, and intellect.
Marcelline seated herself, fingers lightly tapping on a holographic display.

Fluxboat Multinational — The Invisible Empire
Despite her casual demeanor in the palace, Marcelline's mind was now fully in CEO mode.
She was the secretive mastermind behind Fluxboat Multinational, a top-rated Artificial Intelligence conglomerate known for revolutionizing global technology.
Yet unlike other CEOs, no one had ever seen her publicly.
No interviews.
No conferences.
No media appearances.
No corporate social posts.
Even the board of directors communicated with her mostly through encrypted holographic calls.
Her public persona didn't exist.
Her true face, that of a demon-angel goddess hybrid and a fearsome strategist, was a secret—even as her company ruled the cutting edge of AI across the world.
Marcelline smirked softly, her crimson eyes scanning the data floating before her.
Marcelline (softly, to herself):
"Peaceful life… that's what I want. A simple life with Mother Florence, Amara, Mia… my brothers… my friends. No spotlight. No fanfare. No distractions. Just… living."

Dual Worlds — Secret Ruler, Secret Life
In her heart, she balanced two worlds effortlessly:
1. The Mundane Life
• Laughing with Mia.
• Sharing quiet conversations with Amara.
• Enjoying the warmth of family and friends.
• Savoring peaceful moments in the mansion or palace grounds.
2. The Hidden Realm of Power
• Ruling Fluxboat Multinational with an iron intellect.
• Controlling corporate and mystical networks simultaneously.
• Secretly protecting the human and mystical world from chaos—without anyone ever suspecting the true hand behind the company.
Her lips curved into a soft smile.
Marcelline (whispering, determined):
"I'll live quietly… and yet, I'll always be ready. For anything. Anyone. Anything that dares to threaten this life."
Her fingers danced across the holographic keyboard, summoning encrypted reports, analyzing AI projections, and cross-referencing mystical anomalies.
Even as a CEO, even as a demon-angel goddess hybrid… she was Marcelline.
Unshakable. Unbeatable. Unseen.
The world outside believed they knew Fluxboat.
They had no idea that the true ruler of its power was here, quietly sipping tea, planning projects, and secretly keeping both the mundane and mystical worlds in balance.
