Dante Matthews"Dante Giovanni Matthews! Where the fuck are you?" I heard my wife scream out loud as she could on the other side of the phone. I would have almost gone deaf if I hadn't put some distance between the phone and my ear. She is due any day now, and cranky as hell. Don't ask me about her mood swings at all because if I do then I am afraid it will be hard to stop because the list is that long."Hello, my love. I love you so much, what can I get for you this time?" I asked, trying to be as gentle and lovey-dovey as I could because one wrong word and I would be dead today."What can you get me?! What can you get me?! And, don't you dare say that you love me because if you had loved me then you wouldn't have left me over here all alone when my water just broke and what can you bring? You can bring your sorry lazy ass own at the hospital because Sylvia and Carson are taking me to the fucking hospital because your daughter is being too impatient to enter the world by giving me a
Gabriella Harrison Matthews The sun started to color the evening sky with hues of pink, peach, and orange, and I felt an odd combination of gleeful anticipation and wistful sadness. It was the most meaningful day. Our little baby girl Ella was celebrating her 1-year milestone. As my gaze fell upon our little miracle, my heart overflowed with happiness, and I was eager for the party. “This is the perfect day Dante and I have planned for Ella,” I said as I looked around the balloons and streamers covered every inch of the living room while a huge “Happy 1-year-old birthday to Ella!” birthday banner hung on the wall behind the chairs where we would gather to sing to her. Currently, Dante was busy looking after our daughter who won’t stop laughing and running after the balloons on her tiny little feet. Unlike, other kids Ella started walking when she was only ten months old, and man, if it hasn’t been tiring since because she always manages to do something odd. She was dressed up in a
Gabriella Harrison:-I looked at them putting my father's coffin six feet under the ground and covering it with the graveyard dirt while tears were running down my eyes continuously as I saw my father's coffin disappearing in front of my eyes while I try to stay strong but I was having a really hard time doing that. My father died with a sudden heart attack that took his life away and snatched him from me.I was the only child of my father and spoiled rotten by him. After my mother decided to betray on my father when I was seven years old, she left us only because we were poor and she couldn't handle the poverty so she went for the bigger fish and slept with him which made her pregnant with the tycoon's baby. She trapped the tycoon in her trap and got married to her leaving my dad and me behind. Dad loved mom more than anyone but after her departure he became my everything and acted tough and strong for me. I know he was hurting so bad but he never let me know about it and raised me
Gabriella Harrison:-" Miss. Harrison. Miss. Harrison, are you listening? Are you alright?" My dad's lawyer William asked waving his hands in front of my eyes while I was lost in my thoughts after looking at Dante today at my dad's funeral. The last time I have seen him was five years ago on our wedding day where I stood him up at the altar because of some major reasons and my dad helped me escape from there. Why is he back again after five long years? What does he want? Hasn't he broken my heart enough already in the past?" Yes, William. I am over here. Sorry, if I zoned out for a few minutes over there. Just trying to make myself believe that my father is no more." I replied "You please carry on what you were saying."" I was telling you that I am here to read you Mr. Harrison's will. I mean your father's will." he replied " I was asking if I should begin?"" Can't it wait for a few days? Is it necessary to be read today. I am just done with his funeral." I asked with a raised brow
Dante Matthews:-" Valentino, is the contract ready?" I asked my lawyer after entering the office of my company with an arrogant and proud attitude plastered on my face." Yes, Mr. Matthews. Everything is done right according to your conditions. I have added every single clause you have asked me to add." Valentino replied. I nod my head, sat down on my chair behind the desk then looked at him holding my hand forward " Show me the contract." I demanded. " Yes, Mr. Matthews." he replied placing the contract papers in my hand bringing a smirk on my face. Because surely one way or another Gabriella is going down. She will pay hundred times for leaving me hanging on the altar. How dare she stood me up on our wedding when I loved her so much? When I was ready to give up everything for her? But not anymore because this time she will pay for it. I will take my revenge from her only then I will feel in peace." I am impressed by your work like always, Valentino. Good work." I tell him after r
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 t
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
