Troy. Love vs Money!

Usual story. Boy meets girl, girl pretends for a while. Boy presses on..they get into a relationship. Boy gets tired, girl begins the chasing...Blah...Blah...They get married.     This is every one's story but not Troy and Cynthia's. Troy and Cynthia are vice presidents in their respective companies. These companies operate in the same industry so they are very well placed and have equal economic abilities. Because their customers are the same, they find themselves trying to sell to the same people.           Since they're at opposite sides trying always to outsmart or outsell the other, a union of any kind would simply be unthinkable. Troy a 32 year old African-American whose father came to America in the 50's grew up in a closely knit family. Because he did not come from a rich background, planned to succeed in life. So he got where he was by merit, which means he would do what ever it takes to stay at the top and maybe eventually buy over his company.          27 year old Cynthia on the other hand was born with two silver spoons. Her grand father is a billionaire who owns the company she now works, her father is a federal judge with a large income. After graduation, her grandfather decided she was going to work with him, so she started work as vice president , a potential candidate for the top job in future. As  things unfold, she discovers she likes Troy. strange. They are corporate enemies! Unknown to her Troy also has been admiring her from a distance.            Eventually they get into a secret but serious relationship and decided they wanted to get married. Grandfather is furious,Troy's employers are mad. They're at a fix, each contemplating the consequences  of loosing their most important staff. But suddenly both companies realize how profitable this union would be to their respective companies. So they impose stern  conditions. First, Cynthia's grandfather would only accept this on the condition that Troy will come over to his company and accept a lesser position and salary. Troy's employers threatened by this development more than doubled his salary and insist that Cynthia must after the marriage come over to their company or Troy forfeits his job. Infact,they want him to marry her immediately.            Troy is now faced with two choices, one of economic independence and marital bliss.
