"Where would you like to go for lunch, Miss Juan?” Gale asked as Juan came back down the stairs. “You look good Juan!” Darcy complimented her. In her simple floral dress which was of pastel colour, Juan looked superb. The dress was figure-hugging and it complimented her skin, she was also carrying a matching black purse. She carried herself with an air which made Darcy feel vaguely envious, and it was obvious that she was ready to impress them with her attire.“Anywhere would be fine Mr Harris as my brother would not be able to make it so it’s just three of us. “Juan said politely.“Oh, What a pity! We would have enjoyed his company.” Gale spoke as if he was disheartened but looking at his smug face Darcy knew he was pleased and wondered what was going on in his mind.Gale hailed a taxi and they were driven through the taxi pulled up at the most famous restaurant BFire by Mauro Colagreco. Spectacular sea views, celebrated chefs and visiting glitterati mean eating in Cannes can be q
Gale had laid down on his bed fully clothed, thinking hard about the evening he had just spent with Darcy who was lying on the other side of the bed showing him her sexy back. His mind simply refused to let him dwell on any other subject. It had done his heart good to see her eat her meal with such enjoyment, and he wondered how long had she been so carefree and easy to talk to. She always tried to lock herself into a shell where only she and her thoughts could work and nobody was allowed to enter that zone.His hands curled into fists down by his sides. He made himself think about something far less likely to arouse his fury. Apart from her undoubted beauty, there was so much that he admired about this lovely woman. For instance, her ability to be brave in the face of the most dreadful adversity and not lose hope. Even now she was putting on a brave face and not telling him anything that was happening in her life.Cursing out loud, because the particular thought was angering him tha
Mesmerised by his devastating dark eyes staring into the firelight, for a moment Darcy couldn’t think straight. “Tell me what you need Darcy...” His voice commands her seductively. “I need you……….I need you inside me, Gale,” she breathed shyly. Gale effortlessly moved up and pulled off his jeans. Before he let them fall onto the floor then got rid of his briefs and t-shirt. Her cheeks burned red at the impressive sight of his aroused sex, and in her mind, she immediately scolded herself. For goodness” sake, Darcy...it’s not as though you’re some untried virgin! But the thought gave her no comfort because it made her remember that she had already lost her virginity to him. As if intuiting that just such a thought had stolen into her mind, Gale came forward and carefully straddled her, stroking back her hair as he gazed deep into her eyes. “Don’t think of anything and spoil this time we have together,” he urged. “Because everything’s going to be all right.” “It is?” Any further sp
Knowing that she did not want to think about other than her time with Gale, and the perfect night together, Darcy hummed in response. She closed he eyes snuggling in his embrace feeling his heartbeat, leaving the troubles for the next day hoping for a saner mood and fewer troubles.After the passionate lovemaking, they were both sticky and sweaty so Gale carried her to the bathroom and turned on the shower."Wait for me." He whispered seductively and went outside the room as he heard his phone ringing.Gale hung up the phone and turned towards the bathroom only to realise that he had not closed the door and Darcy was standing under the shower water pouring on her voluptuous body. She rubbed the Luffa sliding down from her neck to her juicy twins, then on her sexy hips and then.......Gale was so mesmerised by the sight that his eyes were gleaming with delight. Watching her take a bath was a sheer delight.He threw the phone on the bed and rushed towards the bathroom. He came and stood
“You are Louis!” Rachael said straightforwardly which Darcy was beginning to understand. “I am so glad you are coming back with us. I heard so much about you from Uncle Oliver.” Louis held her hand for a fraction of a second longer than he need have done. “I seem to have seen you somewhere before,” he blurted out.“I don’t think we could have met,” Rachael said, and Darcy thought that there was unusual power in her voice. “Perhaps we have known each other in another existence!” They all laughed and walked towards their room and settled down in Louis's room to have tea with Rachel around everything was jovial in their little group. Rachael demanded to know everything they did in Cannes.Gale knowing how stubborn his sister rolled his eyes and told her briefly about everything making it sound as if it was nothing but a nuisance trip.Darcy’s heart was in pain as she realized that at the end of the day, it meant nothing to him all the moment they had spent together wasn’t worth mentioni
“But those were my designs, how did you get your hands on them? Who is your friend?” Darcy asked curiously. “Why should I tell you? Anyways I failed to get my revenge but I am telling you, you will die someday and it will be very soon.” Sara said it with bitter hatred. “But Sara, no harm was done even if you were caught they did allow you to study design, they did not throw you out knowing you have worked hard but why are you angry with me wasn’t it you who were wrong in the first place?” Darcy tried to reason with her knowing she was used by someone as a pawn to get her. “And do you think that I should be pleased?’ Sara said not willing to accept her mistake. Sara looked at her helplessly not knowing how to get some sense in her head. "But why are planning my assassination? What good would it do to you if you killed me?" "Ha, ha ha.................." Sara started laughing crazily. "Don't you know I have hated your guts right from the beginning and I don't want you to go ahead in
“You will love to work under Gale, Rachael said eagerly. “But I expect you to know it much better than I do.”“Not really,” he said, looking directly at her for the first time since they had left London. “You see, I never learned about family business in the first place, I only managed it with the help of my sister Darcy. But guess I thought my destiny was elsewhere.”It was clear that he was not quite sure how much of his story Rachael already knew, but he did not want to go on meeting her under false pretence.’“But you are back home to stay right?” she said, fixing him with a curious gaze in the candid way she had. "There aren't many people l Know in Michigan, you know."By that time they had reached home and Louis got out of the car without answering her questions. “Will you come inside the house and meet my father?” Darcy asked, but Hester Harris“Not today," Mrs Harris said gently, softening her refusal with a smile. “I would feel that we were intruding if we did, but one don
The next morning there was a great change in Oliver Fletcher” 's condition and Darcy doubted that he was not feeling well the other night, he was sitting up in the bed as she opened his door trying to reach for his stick which was beside the bed and he smiles at his daughter. “Darcy darling come and help me today as I feel very weak.”He said hoarsely and thus she could feel that the night had given it all to his health although he had woken up on time and was ready to Go out and do his stuff he was still weak and unable to walk. “You don't need to worry about me Darcy, I will be fine after I have a good breakfast. Oliver Fletcher tried to add humour to his Conversation with his daughter when he saw her looking very tensed. “Alright, Dad first let me help you to freshen up and once you have your breakfast I will go to the company as I have some things to sort out before I come back home,” Darcy said trying not to show her emotions. “Okay darling but don't stress yourself about me
"You once said.......,” she repeated determinedly, “that I would never admit love till it became the dominant emotion in my life, outgrowing everything else. She raised misty eyes to his and the shining quality behind her tears could be mistaken. “It’s like that now, Gale,” she said. “I love you. If you want to go back to Ireland or Paris wherever you go take me with you!”" “We can go to Ireland, Cannes, Paris or any part of the world but on our honeymoon,” he told her. She pressed her face hard against the roughness of his coat, ashamed of those days when her love had not been as sure as his. After all, Darcy lived in a happy dream where her family and her family business were still precious but not the centre of her universe. There had always been other interests in her life, of course, and her family might have been something of an obsession, but now she saw herself lucky enough to possess so many things the greatest of which was love. Gale wrapped his arms around her and captu
“Well the party was in full swing and I happened to take pictures of the beautiful gowns worn by the celebrities and models to show to my designers so that they could get some inspiration but all of a sudden an angry female who was wearing the most beautiful mask was looking at me angrily as I was about to click her picture and for a moment I was distracted by her beautiful sparkling eyes and forgot to take her picture. “You, what do you think you are doing?” She spoke angrily and she pointed her fingers at me. Darcy who was listening to his narrative was somehow shaken to the core and she tried to think about the time three years back when she had participated in the backstage party wearing her winning mask and said the same thing to the masked guy who was looking at her intently. She looked at Gale in confusion but Gale chose to ignore her and continued. “I was too busy looking at her and was amused at her outburst, she was so feisty and even with the mask she looked like a diva.
Rachael came to the office in search of Louis that afternoon and Darcy thought that she looked unhappy, in spite of the fact that her romance with Louis was spreading like wildfire all around Michigan. She was running after Louis like a woman head over heels for him and Louis being an extrovert was trying hard to give his best to the only women who would scold and love him at the same time but the most important part was she never judged him for what he had done in the past and accepted him with his flaws making it utterly impossible for Louis to resist her and fall madly in love with her. Darcy,” she exclaimed, “why are people so difficult? Especially the people one loves most!” “Because you can’t let go of loving them, I suppose. Other people don’t count so much. Can I help you with anything Rachael?” She thought that the trouble with her little brother was over ages ago and she had already decided that Rachael could manage Louis better than her and she had shown by her actions i
Darcy did not know what to think. “Louis,” she begged, “don’t say anything about this just now. It might only worry Mrs Harris needlessly. Let's leave it till Gale can deal with it himself." “Which I don’t think will be very long,” Louis said as the old guard came down the stairs. “He’s had a miraculous escape, hope he recovers fast.” Gale”s recovery took longer than they expected. It was two weeks before he was up and about again and a full month before he went back to the mill. In these days Louis became his constant companion, carrying his orders to the company and generally supervising the working of the factory during his absence. In the circumstances. Louis thought Darcy should stay at the office to help. It was a strange thing, but Louis never mentioned the break-in at the office again. The lock was repaired on the assumption that the CEO had forced the door, and that was that, but Darcy felt that there had been a note of satisfaction in her brother’s voice when he had info
“Dr James?” she asked when she finally got through. “Can you come to our company at once?” She was amazed at the calmness of her voice while her heart thumped so hard in the stillness. “There’s been an accident. It’s Mr Harris. He seems to have fallen down the stairs and can’t move his leg.” Her voice trailed off and no further words of explanation would come. She heard the doctor’s answer as if it came from some immeasurable distance, but she knew that he had assured her that he would be there as soon as he could with the ambulance. She did not think that Gale was going to die, nor did she tell herself that he might be seriously injured, crippled perhaps for life. She felt numbed, but conscious, too, of having achieved something, a kind of victory which love could accept. If it was even the victory over her old bitterness, she believed that it would be enough. When the doctor arrived she was waiting beside the curiously wrapped figure on the ground, and the doctor and his help gave
“The debt is high,” Victor growled. “You never be able to pay such a huge amount of debt after what your sister has done. If only you two had done more for the company, things might have been a lot different.” The remark was hardly justified and Melvin knew it. Victor had never really considered them and his generosity with money had been largely to satisfy his ego. A show of affluence had always pleased him and it raised his prestige in Michigan. He had been quite never satisfied with his Money and he firmly believed, money was the only power, and it had been a great shock to him to find himself virtually without it. Melvin knew all these things about his father and he also knew that Victor had realised that signing the contract to sell his company had been foolish of him. Melvin had tried to retrieve it by directly approaching Gale without any success, so there was only one other way for it. He knew enough about the factory and had laid his plans carefully, and when he walked down
And that's what happened, Amy Whiteman was just his girlfriend in name so no one questioned her after the incident and before the matter could be escalated any further she had already escaped abroad. When she found out that Louis had gone abroad, Amy wasn’t happy as she knew Louis was smart and would do something to stand on his feet. But Shelly was still in Michigan and as she met Darcy regularly she knew about Louis’ whereabouts through her. So when Darcy had told her one day that Louis was in Budapest, she hired an investigator to investigate his whereabouts but somehow Louis came to know about it and escaped. After that Louis was very secretive about his whereabouts and Darcy hardly knew where he was but finally, she was able to take out information from Darcy about his whereabouts and she informed Amy Whiteman about it. Amy told them that she loved money and she knew that Louis was earning well working in the sculpture factory so she found out his whereabouts and start
But as soon as I turned fifteen everything changed as I had a huge crush on Maria remember the girl who had come in between the semesters to our school. She was so innocent that I fell head over heels for her and I knew that I could not continue being with Shelly any more. Although Shelly pleasured my body very well. I couldn’t continue doing whatever I had with her as she was older than me and was dating a lot of guys behind my back. I felt cheated and disgusted so I had already decided to stay away from her but when I met Maria I fell in love with her and we started dating secretly I avoided Shelly for a year till I turned sixteen and lost my virginity to Maria. I was very happy to have a secret girlfriend as Maria had troubles at home and did not want anyone to know about our relationship. We continued to enjoy each other’s company and for the first time, I felt so comfortable with her. But soon Shelly caught us right-handed in the locker room and made it impossible for Maria
“All of you wait and watch I will sue you for harassing me without any proof.” She shouted angrily. “Oh …so pointing a gun at us wearing a mask and trying to kill us is not a crime? Right, that's what you think.” Rachel spoke confidently pointing her fingers at Shelly. “Shut up you little bitch, I was just playing around trying to make you scared. I wasn’t planning to kill you at all. Why are you assuming things? Gale your sister has gone mad.” Shelly tried to defend herself shamelessly by mocking Rachel. But Rachel wasn’t listening as she had seen the truth right in front of her, she was so angered by Shelley’s declaration that she came forward and gave her a tight slap. Gale knew her sister was short-tempered so he came forward and pulled Rachel back towards him.“It’s OK Rachel calm down. We know what she has done and nothing she says will prevent her from going to jail.” The police chief who was listening to all the conversation going on between them finally spok
