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 ordered in an icy tone while glaring at the flower.

" Miss. Harrison, they are especially sent for you and there is a card attached to it. Should I throw that too?" my assistant asked.

" On second thought. Burn it." I said glaring at her " Didn't you hear me at first time? I asked you t throw them away. I didn't ask who they are sent for and what is in the card. Next time, just do as I ask you for. Do you understand?" I asked.

" Yes, Miss. Harrison." she replied looking down at her feet.

" Good, now do as I asked you for. Burn them. Not throw them." I said throwing the flowers down on the ground and saw the letter with Bella Mia written on it. I know I asked to burn it without reading but something made me curious to open it. I picked the letter and opened it.

" Bella Mia, very soon you are going to be under me serving me like a good wife. Start counting the days.-Yours Dante."

I read and closed my eyes to control my anger and confusion. What does he mean by a good wife? He is torturing me with these little things. I am going to make him pay for this. I threw the letter in the dustbin and looked at the assistant.

" What's the schedule for today?" I asked.

" Miss Harrison, you have a board meeting with the board members in half hour." she replied " Then you have a meeting with..." I cut her off there.

 " Let's focus on the board meeting first then we will think about the others. Alright?" I asked placing my bag and phone on the desk and looked at Silvia.

" You know what to do, right?" I asked.

" Yes, Miss. Harrison. Don't worry. We have got your back." he replied with a smile. Silvia is my father figure who has seen me grown up and helped my father in raising me whenever my father was away on meetings or business trips. Silvia was the one who took care of me those days and understands my every pain.

"Gabby, are you alright? Were the flowers from Dante?" Silvia asked when all the guards and assistant walked out of the office.

"Yes, Silvia. I don't know what does he wants. I don't know why he is playing this game. Didn't he break my heart in the past now he wants to hurt me again? I opened my heart to only one. Only one person and what did I got? Heartbreak? Lies? I am so fed up of this and don't want to go through that again. You know how many things I lost, right?" I asked with tears in my eyes.

" I lost the precious thing of my life that was giving me the will to live when I didn't want to live anymore. If it wasn't for you and dad taking are of me and being by my side to take care of me I would have died and killed myself. I will always be grateful to you for being there for me and please always be there for me in the future because I don't want to feel alone, Silvia. You know I have got abandonment issue since my mother left me because I loved her more than anyone and she left me when I was seven." I tell him.

" Sash! It's alright, daughter. You have got me. I will stick with you in thick and thin. I am always here for you remember." Silvia tells me wit a gentle smile " Right now, we need to think about the board members because they are surely planning to give you a hard time now that your father is dead. They won't want a female CEO to rule over them."

" Well, then they don't know what I have got for them. I am not planning to play nice at all because I plan to play dirty." I replied with a grin on my face " Why don't you take out the envelopes from my briefcase and open them."

" No need, I know you have everything under control." Silvia said with a chuckle " I have no doubts on your ability. Those board members are so going to get roasted."

" They are going to get burned. Not roasted." I said with a smirk and looked at the note inside of the dustbin with so many emotions running inside of me. I placed my hand on my belly and remembered the pain I went through because of him. 

" You are thinking about him. Don't you?" Silvia asked.

" No, just thinking about the accident. I can't believe he hired goons to get me killed in the past. That accident I went through was fixed by Dante. The man I loved so much and considered him by life, my whole world." I replied with tears in my eyes as I remember the worst day of my life.

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

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

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

I answered honestly after taking a sip of my wine."Does this fucked up mess include Catherine by any chance because your sister seems really pissed at you."dad asked, already guessing the right. I sighed and nodded my head."Dad, I like Cameron. I really do, but what I doesn't like is that, she makes me lose control, she makes me weak, and powerless. That's what I don't like. I am the man who always like to stay in control. The man you raised me to be, but it feels like I am failing in being one.""Who said you are failing, son?" dad asked, pouring her glass of bourbon "You are born a successor. Look at your parents.

It set me to blushing with anger and shame but I did not dare show it to him since that would be the ultimate triumph for him. “Okay,” I replied arranging my posture and clutching the robe that was hanging at the corner. “Which business are we referring to?” He followed me carefully and looked me up and down when I just wrapped the robe tightly around my breast. “I am in need of model for a shoot today, one of my best models just called in sick and rescheduled, there are no other models available, and I figured you could do it. ” I raised an eyebrow. According to the story, the conversation was as follows: “You want me to model for you? After what just happened?” “Yes, Cat,”’ he said, becoming stern. “I require the services of a professional, one who can work under pressure and you are the best.

I chuckled shaking my head and asked the camera man to give me five minutes. One of the staff member came with the robe to cover my bikni clad body but I refused to put it on as I just got an idea in my mind."It's alright. I will be fine." I tell the staff member with a polite smile. She smiled back and left while I headed in my trailer van after asking my assistant to send the guest inside. I have just sat down on the couch when Cameron stepped inside, looking super hot in his designer three piece suit, that took my breath away. But as I looked at him. I can't help but smile to find him gasp as he looks at my body from head to toe, and gulped."Hey, Cam. What are you doing

There is one thing I like about my assistant, she is the best and never late. She is always here on time which is why my coffee is placed on my desk on time, before I arrive, but today, that is not the case certainly."Where the hell were you, Brianna. You know I hate it when on of my employees is late, especially my assistant?" I growled snatching the cup of coffee from her hand and took a sip.

Ella watched her parents from the stairs, then at me with a raised brow."What did you do, Erin?" only she is the one who calls me Erin and I love it."I might have caught your brother bringing a hooker into his room and I might have not liked it, and I might have not knocked on your parents door and interuptted their sex by telling your mother that Cameron has brought a hooker in her home to fuck." when I finished the sentence, Ella was looking at me with 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

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?

Unfortunately, my brother couldn't make it to our wedding since he needed to be somewhere really important and I understand because being a mafia leader is not an easy task."How are you feeling, wife?" I asked my pregnant wife who looked tired after being on her feet for so long."Tired, but not for you. I just need to get this dress off me. It feels so tight now. My boobs hurt." she replied and complained because indeed she must be tried wearing this tight dress for hours when she is used to wearing only baggy and comfortable clothes in this condition. I placed her down on her feet gently and helped her in getting out of the dress."Ahhh! Feels so good. Finally, I can breathe freely." she let out a deep breath of relief
