All Chapters of OBSESSED (Book One): Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Ten years earlier. GABRIELLA. I've always known Elle hated me but knowing just how far she'd go just to hurt me really scares the hell out of me. After what happened a few weeks ago, I've constantly lived in fear, wondering what kind of stunt she'd try to pull next just to hurt me. I've tried avoiding any conflicts with her but strangely, she seems to find our fights somewhat amusing and she even goes as far as instigating them just to have a reason to insult and bully me. Flashback (two weeks earlier) "I should really get you a puppy so you don't always feel so alone at home," Martin, my best friend and only friend says in a sorry tone and I frown. "I already told you I can't have a puppy. Mom would kill me if I got one. She hates having pets around and Elle also happens to hate them and you already know that they practically rule the entire house," I reminded him and I could hear him sigh on the other end of the phone. "You come from a family of very shitty people, exce

Gabriella "Martin, come on, you have to help me out here. Mom fired me yesterday and I can't possibly waste my natural talent on being a secretary," I complained to him, praying he agreed to help me, although I doubt he wouldn't. Martin and I have been best friends for the last fourteen years. A few people actually thought he'd jilt me like every other friend I've ever had but nope, he proved them wrong and stuck to my side. No matter what he was always there for me and we got so close, I ended up developing feelings for him but it turns out he's actually gay but I still love him though, just not as a lover. "I'm gonna try my best Ella, but I'm pretty sure with your talent, you're gonna get a job but what I don't understand is why in the world your mother would fire you only to give your job to that dumb sister of yours. I thought she was a business woman." he says, sounding as surprised as I was. "I don't care anymore Martin. I'm sick and tired of Mom and Elle pushi

Gabriella "Good morning Jack," I greeted Jack happily as soon as he walked in, watching how my evil team members stared at me in awe. They all seemed to be wondering how I wasn't in tears and quitting right now and I could not help but laugh in their horrible looking faces. "Good morning Gabriella," he replies, staring at me confusedly, obviously wondering why I'm here so early. "Wait, did you spend the night here?" He asks, obviously surprised and I had to hold back my words to avoid getting into any trouble. "Well, yes I did. The door got stuck so I had to stay but luckily I already packed some toiletries and clothes, so it wasn't a problem and besides, it helped me finish up my work faster, so here is my sketch for the dress," I blurted out proudly as a feeling of victory overwhelmed me. "Well, great job Gabriella. I'll check it out and give you my thoughts on it later but for now, just go home, since you didn't sleep well. I'll give you the day off cause tomorrow, the

Gabrielle    "Mom, don't you find it strange that Ella hasn't returned home or even called?" I ask my mom who suddenly started staring at me like I had grown another head. "Why are you staring at me like that?" I ask sharply to snap her out of her trance.    "Well sweetie, you surprised me with that question. It's like the first time you've ever asked about your sister." She says and I immediately laugh at her reaction.  "Don't get it twisted mom, I'm not asking because I care. You and I know that if it were up to me, she would have never been born n the first place and I wouldn't have to carry the cross of having an identical good for nothing out there doing God knows what!" I sneer peevishly, recalling the incident at the cafe parking lot. "Why do you say that?" She asks."Well, I ran into this cute but dumb fool at a cafe and I accidentally spilled coffee on him and when he looked up at me, he

Gabriella     It's been two weeks since Elle showed her face here and I honestly can't explain how happy I am that she's off my back, it may not be permanently but at least I don't have to deal with her suffocating remarks. "Fabian, do you have any idea why the director asked for us?" I ask nervously, hoping that my recent sketch had maybe gotten to him and he approved them or at least some good news."So you don't even know?" He asks, making me wonder what exactly I needed to know. "Duh silly, I just said so " I reply and If my reply was rude, screw it cause his facial expression was rude first.  "I thought you've worked in the fashion industry before?" He asks, and I could smell the sarcasm in that question, what hell does he know, idiot!"Just get to the point Fabian!" I snap at him.  "Fine, miss clueless. Eliana Guitarra is coming to New York and she put out a challenge for the best fas
