Chapter No.1

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 himself by telling me that he is my mother and father both and he proved to be one. He worked really hard day and night and, in a few years, he was reaching the top list of the business tycoons because his business began to bloom. He gave me the life he always promised to give me and from a small one-bedroom apartment she brought me to the huge fortress and made me the princess of it and took his revenge from mom by showing her what she missed.

I don't know how did my father get a heart attack all of a sudden because he was healthy and fit in every way. He was really health conscious and always looked after himself for me because he knew I don't like to feel alone and abandoned. But it looks like I am alone now with no one to rely on but my father's memories only. Once my father's grave was covered, I get down on my knees in front of his grave and placed the bouquet of white flowers on it with tears falling down my cheek this time.

" I love you and I miss you, dad. But I promise you that I will be your strong and powerful daughter you always asked me to be. May you rest in peace. You have worked really hard your whole life and now it is time for you to take a rest. " I tell him.

I get back on my feet and began to wipe my tears with my hand when someone passed me a silk handkerchief to wipe my tears that shocked me down to the core. It wasn't the handkerchief that shocked me but the owner of that voice.

" Here, wipe your tears with this," a deep masculine voice said passing me the handkerchief. I looked at the person through my black wide floppy large hat making my eyes go wide.

" Dante?" I asked shocked in barely an audible voice and felt my knees giving up and I would have fallen down if he didn't catch me on time by wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me close to his chest with a wolfish grin on his face.

" I am impressed that you still remember me, Bella mia." he replies pulling me closer to his body then I already was and looked around to find people staring at us with confused expression and heard murmurs and whispering them into one another's ears.

" What are you doing here? Leave me." I snapped pushing him away in anger because he is the last person I want to see right now or ever in my life. He hurt me and broke my heart in the worst way possible by cheating on with my best friend.

" Oh, but I missed you. This is not the way to treat your husband who you left at the altar." he whispered in my ears and pulled me closer to his body again. He grabbed me by my chin and smashed his lips on mine in front of everyone making my eyes go wide. I tried to pull back but he wouldn't allow me and deepened the kiss biting my lips in the process and pinched on the side of my waist.

I tried to resist the kiss but my whole body betrayed me and melted in his arms and before I know it I found myself kissing him back. Dante let out a groan from deep his throat and moaned in my mouth and grind his front against mine making my eyes go wide in realization what it was. I instantly broke the kiss apart and pulled away from him in anger. I don't know what took over me all of a sudden that I found myself landing a harsh slap on his face.

" I ask you to leave me, you son of a bitch." I shout and looked at my guards " I want to leave right now." I ordered. They nodded their heads when one of them reached froward and opened the umbrella and held it above me when it started to rain while I headed to my limo surrounded by my guards. I was about to reach my car when Dante came running and grabbed me by my car and pinned me against it.

" Don't think this is over, Bella Mia. This is far from over and you are going to pay for this slap. Mark my words. I have returned to take back what's mine. But this time there won't be any love but hatred. And, guess what? I am not even a little bit bad to tell you that I am very glad that you bastard of a father died because I was already panning to kill him after what he did to me.

Or maybe it wasn't him but you. Do you remember what you did to me? If you don't then please remember because I am about to start a very interesting game that you won't like but I will." with that said Dante walked away leaving me pale and breathing heavily in fear.
