Chapter 25Tamara clenched her fists tightly as she tried to calm herself by taking deep breaths. “Ma’am? Are you okay?” The air hostess asked in concern as she tried to figure out what was wrong with the woman Mr. Marco had come with.“Hmm…I- I’m fine,” Tamara hissed softly as she opened her eyes slightly to reassure the girl but shut them promptly when she felt the jet lurch a bit.Before her accident, she never had a fear of heights. Apparently, that was one of the new things for her, falling down a cliff had instilled a fear of heights in her that she forgot until she entered the private jet with Marco and Francesca.“Are you sure? I could get-” The air hostess started to say it again.“I said I’m fine!” Tamara snapped as she flicked her wrist to shoo the girl away.Marco watched from his seat as Tamara gripped her seat for dear life. The air hostess kept attempting to speak with her, but it seemed to make matters worse.The girl turned back slightly to look at Marco and gave him
Chapter 26Tamara fiddled with the bracelet on her wrist and let out a deep sigh at the opportunity to rest for a bit.It wasn’t that working as Marco’s assistant was particularly tedious or awful. In fact, they spent more time preparing their new company than she spent serving him, but Mrs. Donatelli had no concept of that.She seemed to believe that Tamara was a slave to her son and hence destined to serve her every whim.That was the reason she stood hiding behind a large flower pot, away from the important people she was supposed to be making connections with.It was the biggest party Tamara had attended since she arrived in Milan. And that was expected, seeing as it was the engagement ceremony of Mr. Marco Donatelli and Miss Francesca Bernandi. Two names Tamara was learning were very significant in the business world.Tamara snickered as she remembered how Marco hadn’t been particularly happy about the engagement, but since he hadn’t rejected Francesca outright, Mrs. Donatelli ha
Chapter 276 MONTHS LATER*********************************************************************************************************A small smile played on Marco’s lips as he remembered his last discussion with Tamara. She had arrived in Milan today, but he hadn’t seen her yet, due to all the business preparations he had to finish.Over the six months she had spent in Paris, they had spent every day, talking, working, plotting and just enjoying each other’s company.Marco had never had a best friend before. No one came close enough. With his strict, no-nonsense demeanor, he had never made any real friends except Seth and even Seth couldn’t be classified as his best friend because their friendship had been borne out of necessity when he got into business school.With Elena or Tamara, it was different. Maybe because he had watched her silently for seven months, but something about them just clicked, and though he never said it aloud, Marco knew Tamara was his platonic soulmate and the t
Chapter 28The paparazzi cameras flashed in Chelsea’s eyes and she blinked in irritation.She supposed she couldn’t complain. This was all she had ever wanted.Everything she dreamed and hoped for. A successful company, a good husband, fame, money and yet as she flashed her brightest smile for the cameras, she couldn’t help but feel hollow inside.“Babe, you good?” David whispered in her ear as he wrapped a hand around her waist for them to assume another pose.“Yeah, I just feel a little lightheaded. Should we take some more pictures then head inside?” Chelsea asked her husband as she responded to calls of Mrs Windsor from the paparazzi.Her wedding to David had been the biggest wedding in the business world, and now nearly a year later, she preened as she still enjoyed the attention from the press.David didn’t give her a reply as he swung his head to stare at something or more precisely, someone.Chelsea frowned. In the several months of her marriage, she had never had to worry abo
Chapter 29Tamara returned to her seat with a giddy smile on her lips. She and Marco had worked so hard. For months she had gibe with minimal sleep, having meetings at odd hours and thinking up ideas in the shower.Finally, it had paid off!She wished she could have a picture of Chelsea’s face when she used her shoulder to climb the stage and accept the award.She would have sent it to Marco and he would have been ecstatic and happy for her.But she supposed a selfie of her and the trophy would have to do.With a happy smirk on her lips, she pressed the send button and waited eagerly for Marco to reply.She shifted on her seat uncomfortably as the pressure in her lower region alerted her to her need to pee.With a huff of irritation, she passed the trophy to a member of her team and scurried away to use the restroom.When she finished he’d businsss and stepped out, she was shocked to find David waiting for her with a pleasant smile on his lips.Her heart thundered in her chest as he
Chapter 30Chelsea frowned as David went silently past her into the bathroom.The defeat of the day was still sore in her memories and David wasn’t heling matters. He had always been like this. Quiet, unless he has someting important to say and yet it had never bothered her. She knew he loved her and she was happy about their mariage but the last three months had felt more like living with a business patner than her husband.And Chelsea knew deep in her bones, that a child would bring them closer together. Since the incident, David had not once expressed displeasure at the fact that Elena was pregnant when she died.But she knew, it was only because he had expected to have a baby with her, right away. And now, here they were, over a year since their marriage and despite the vitamins and supplements she had taken, Chelsea was still not pregnant.Her clock was ticking and she knew it.With an irritated sigh, Chelsea pulled her latop onto her laps and began to nperuse google for whateve
Chapter 31“Go,” Marco said calmly as he focused his eyes on the couple leaving the clinic.“Are you sure? I could stay and just-” Tamara started to protest.“I’m sure. I’ll take care of things here. Just go to the office and see what the contract is about,” Marco replied as he handed her the car keys.Tamra blinked. She was unsure if she wanted to leave Marco alone, but she also needed to get things going in the office, so she gave him a nod.“Alright. See you tonight."Marco left the car, and Tamara took over the wheels. As she drove out of the clinic parking lot, her heart thundered in anticipation of what type of contract David could have sent, and she drove as fast as she could to her company.***“Welcome Miss. I need your decision on some matters,” Kim began to prattle the moment Tara stepped out of the elevator onto her office floor.“Not yet,” Tamara said impatiently as she held up a hand to stop the girl from speaking.“Have the lawyers gone through the Lena Beauty contract
Chapter 32Do we have an agreement?” Tamara asked the red-faced doctor as she leaned back in her seat.“I understand what you want from me,” the doctor said in a deathly quiet voice as he raised his head slightly and stared at Tamara.“What I don’t understand is why you think I would risk my career by agreeing to something so unethical. Is this some kind of joke? I only listened to you because you’re both important people in the business world,” The doctor finished with an affronted look on his face as he stood angrily to his feet.“How about now?” Marco asked smoothly as he placed his small box on the table and unlocked it to reveal the twinkling diamonds and dollar wads inside.“Is this enough to make you agree?” He asked the doctor with a blank stare.The angry doctor froze as his eyes latched onto the box and the treasures inside.“Even if you were to gain fifty more clients like the Windsors and work for the rest of your life, you still wouldn’t make this kind of money,” Tamara s
