Gabriella Harrison:-
" Miss. Harrison, the breakfast is served." my housekeeper informed after entering my room.
" Alright, Flora. I will be down." I replied while looking at myself in the mirror for my final appearance. I was heading to the office and taking over the position of CEO of my dad's company from today. I won't let what my father built with his blood and sweat crumble this easily. I will fix this.
I will fix everything. I am the proud daughter of my father and even after his death I will make him proud of me. I have seen him struggle and work so hard for this company which is why I will save it at every cost. No matter what.
I was dressed up in a white suite pant and wearing my diamond earring that my father gifted me four days ago on my birthday. He was all healthy and fine that day but then what happened all of a sudden that lead him to his death and caused him a heart attack when he never had one ever in his whole lifetime. Something feels off over here and I am going to find that out at every cost.
After I was done getting ready, I picked up my phone and bag along with my white large hat and headed downstairs to the dining room where all of my maids were waiting for my arrival. I sat down on the head chair and tears began to form into my eyes because every day I used to sit over here with my dad during all the meal and chat with him. Tell him everything about my day and what is going on in my life but now I feel all alone. I was always scared of being alone and here I am watching my fear win over me as I sit alone in a huge fortress that my dad built for me.
My maids served my breakfast in my plate while I sent some texts to the investors, looked over rthe stock charts, company's account book and every single affair of the company in my phone. I had all the reports mailed to me yesterday in urgency because after hearing the news of the company under debt I couldn't stop myself from worrying.
I can act as a cold and strong woman from the outside to make people fear me but in reality, I am feeling so weak, alone and defeated from the inside because as I look at the company reports and every project file it is clear that Harrison is indebted to the bank and the investors with zero chances of getting up unless the debts are paid in fifteen days. I have to come up with a plan to save the company or I can say it goodbye forever.
" No, I can't let that happen. I just fucking can't." I refused to give up and got up from my chair after finishing my breakfast.
" Silvia, ask the driver to take the car out. We are leaving." I ordered my chief in command after putting on my hat on my head. I thanked my housekeeper for the breakfast and told her not to expect me tonight because I need to be alone and need some booze in my body to relieve the pain inside of me that I am feeling. It is so much to take for me all of a sudden.
Until two days ago I was carefree living my life in full swing like a spoiled brat and here I am today jsut after those same two days I am taking over the responsibility of my sinking company and mourning my father's sudden death. I walked out of the mansion and get inside the limo while one of my guards was keeping the door opened for me. Once I was inside, he shut the door while Silvia sat on the passenger set with the driver.
" Silvia, are you doing what I asked you for?" I asked Silvia while working on my phone, trying to find a way to make everything right.
" I am working on it. It's so tricky but I promise you, Miss. Harrison. I will finish your given task ASAP." Silvia replied and I hummed. All of a sudden, my face went pale when my pone beeped with a message from Dante who was wishing my good luck for my first day as the company CEO.
What does he want from me? Didn't he break my heart in the past? Didn't he lie to me about many things? Didn't he keep me in the dark and now he is pretending to be the one when in reality he is the one who broke me that it got really hard for me to get back on my feet and move on. I read the message once again with hatred in my eyes for him. If it wasn't for my father then I would have been dead by now because of Dante.
" Good luck on your first day as the new CEO of the sinking company, Bella Mia. If you need my help then you know where to reach me. I am always available to help you. -Yours Dante."
I read the message under my breath and let out a sigh. I closed my eyes and remember the flashes of that dreadful day of my life which everyone calls a magical day of wedding but it was far from magical for me. It was all bloody and dark that left me no choice but to run away from him in order to keep my most precious thing alive but in the end, I lost it and it was all because of Dante.
I will never forgive him for that. I loved him more than anyone. Even more than I loved my father but in the end what did he do? Gave me pain and become the reason of my hatred. I will die but never give in to him. I don't know what game he is playing but one thing is for sure. I am going to win it at every single cost because I never lose. I am raised to win like a queen by my dad.
" Dante, you don't stand a chance in front of me. Mark my words." I murmured to myself but why don't I feel on confident on my own words. This never happened to me before than why now? Why am I having a feeling that things are going to go downhill because I am not capable of fixing them. Can I or can I not?
Gabriella Harrison:-" Good morning, Miss. Harrison." all of the employees stood up from the seats to greet me morning when I was passing by from there. I nodded at them in greeting and kept on walking towards my office with my assistant following me. It felt weird to walk inside like this because I only came here to the company in the past to meet my father only but today I am here to run it with no presence of my father.I reached my dad's office and looked at it with glassy eyes but maintained the strong and confident posture because there is no place for weak in the world and I can't show any of them my weakness. My guards opened the door for me and I entered and stopped in my tracks when my eyes landed on the blue roses bouquet placed on the desk. I know who sent this because he is making me realize of his presence on purpose." What game are you playing, Dante?" I murmured under my breath." Did I ask anyone to place flowers on my desk? I think so I didn't so throw them away." I
Gabriella Harrison:-I entered the conference room and saw the board members waiting for me. When they saw me they stood up and nodded their heads."Miss. Harrison." they said in unison." Gentlemen," I nodded back after reaching my head chair " Please have a seat."they all sit back on their places and the meeting begin." Miss. Harrison, I am sure by now you must have came to know how the company is sinking down right? It is about to go bankrupt. Why are you going to do about it?" one of the board member asked." Mr. Jacob, right?" I asked and looked at Silvia with a grin " Silvia, will you please do me the honor of presenting Mr. Jacob with the special gift I prepared for him?"" Gladly, Miss. Harrison." Silvia said with a smile and palced the manila envelope in front of him." Mr. Jacob, before you open that what were you planning to suggest me because it surely feels like to me you were planning to ask me to step down and let all of you bastards run my father's company right?" I
Dante Matthews:-I looked at the priceless expression of Gabriella in front of me while every loser board members enjoyed it because this she devil just put them in their places. Damn! I didn't know that she holds this perfect business mind. This is new for me. I am proud of her but at the same time I am not because if she was my woman like in the past then I would have been proud but now she is just my enemy. My biggest enemy alive." That is impossible.Follow me into my office. Right now!" she barked at me making me grin and shake my head but still I followed her while she walks forward with her guards giving me a perfect round view of her ass. Fuck! This woman has gotten hotter than before.She has gone all curvy and perfect from every right places and I can't help but get hard inside of my pants and my member to twitch. The way she was moving her body while walking was to die for. Out of billions of women in the world only this woman holds the power to make my body get out of cont
Gabriella Harrison:-I stood there frozen after hearing Dante ask me to become his wife. Is he fucking insane? Why does he still want me to become his wife when I stood him up the last time?" Are you out of your mind or are you that much desparate to marry me? Wasn't last time enough for oy uthat you want to go through that same disaster again?" I asked with a raised brow " And, what does this have to do with saving my father's company? And first of all how did you get to manage to get my father's shares? He will never sell them. Especially to you."" Yes, he didn't directly sell them to me but he did sell them to my friends who happens to help me out in bringing your father's empire down to break his ego and yours. You both think of yourself as the God of the business world but look around. You are nothing but standing in the position where your company's future depends on my hands." he tells me in a cold voice and darkened gaze in anger and grabbed me by my throat, pinned me agains
Dante Matthews:-" So, how did it go? Did you show her the contract?" Valentino asked entering my huge modern mansion and headed directly to the bar to pour himself a glass of scotch." I didn't show her the contract and let's just say the meeting was quite eventful. Do you know she has literally hand the flowers burnt by her assistant that I sent to her." I tell Valentino while taking the sip of my whiskey."Ooops! That much hatred, huh? If she hated you that much then why pretend to love you at first place." he asked " Why hate you somuch when you never did anything wrong?"" That's what I have been thinking for years. Why agree to agree to marry me at first place in the past when she never loved me? And, what is the reason for her hatred towards me?" I murmured lost in thoughts." Maybe, you both should talk it out. What if there is story behind all this and you guys both are being too stubborn and bringing your ego and pride between one another to discuss it like normal person?" V
Dante Matthews:-" Woah, what is happening over here and dude, you stink!" Valentino made fun of my state. I was oholding on to a very drunk Gabriella and bearing the smell of the vomiting at the same time." Sut up, douchebag and go inside or go home. Game night is over. Lasagna must be ready. You can take it out from the oven and help yourself." I snapped at him and begin to take Gabriella to my room." Wait. Is that the great Gabriella you were talking about?" Valentino asked wide eyed " Damn, she is hot but what is she doing here?"" Keep your eyes to yourself, fucker." I growled " Or get out fo my house."" Hmmm, you sure you hate her because the way you are beng possessive about her tells me you don't. What's the matter, Dante?" he asked." Don't you dare go there, Tino." I threatened while giving him a glare " Eat and get out of my house." with that said I scooped giggling Gabriella in my arms and took her into the bathroom of my master bedroom. I placed her down on the floor a
Gabriella Harrison:-I woke up with a pounding headache and let out a groan rubbnig the back of my head as I slowly opened my eyes and get down on the sitting position. When my eyes opened I looked around at my surrouding confused because I was in an unfamilair place. I looked down at the shurt and shorts I was wearing with a frown on my face? What happened last ngiht and where am I? Where are my clothes? I just remember getting drunk at the club and after that I don't remember anything at all. Did I end up having a one night stand with some random man after getting myself drunk into oblivion? I know I can't handle liquor and I barely drink but when I do I am all over the place which has brought me to this situation right now. But where the fuck am I and whose bed is this but this musky scent seems familiar to me on the bed. It's the scent Dante scarries with him."Oh my God! Did I spend the night at Dante's place? Am I in his place?" I murmured in shock with my eyes getting wide. No
Gabriella Harrison:- " Want to talk about what happened last night?" Silvia asked with a smirk earning a glare from me. He laughed in response. The man is not afraid of my anger and tantrums because he is well aware of them and knows how to control them because he practically raised me. " Not a word, Silvia." I said with girtted teethafter shutting the door of the car and settled myself on the leather seat of my limo " And, if you are asking me how did I make fun of myself in front of Dante by puking on him then I will pass." " You puked on him?" Silvia asked with a grin on his face " Damn, now that is start of your revenge." " Ugh! Stop it, Silvia. My head hurts after drinking so much last night. Take me home." I ordered " I don't want to talk about what happened last night because nothing happened except for me making fun of myself and showing him my misterable state." " Relax, it's alright. You just showed hm your drunk state so it is totally fine. No need to worry about it. N
