Chapter No.4

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?
