Gabriel
"I hope you are ready for tomorrow's event in new York" dad asked.
"Is there something I have to do other than declaration of my throne" I answered.
"Watch you tone son!"mom said with a firm voice.
"We are leaving today for New York, so get your self packed with everything you need" dad said while sipping coffee.
"Today? I mean.... Okay" I wanted to speak ahead but it doesn't matter to them so I just gulped down whatever I was going to utter. It's better if i don't argue or else the worst could happen to me.
"Get everything packed we will be leaving in evening and will spend two days in New York because I have some matters to settle down there" he spit with an authorative tone.
"Okay dad" i replied.
I made myself to my room and laid down on the bed. Moreover I feel exhausted by their interrogation and rules. Why can't they understand that rules doesn't define me! I would like to be free to explore everything on my office desk when I make myself to the chair of head. But now, i need knowledge, advice,to know myself better, time to discover new things. Sometimes, i think they have just gave me birth to undertake their business.
I packed my suitcase. The big white box caught my attention in my drawer. I picked the box, after opening i ran my fingers over the bracelet mesmerising how beautifully it was made by her. I can sense the efforts and love she endowed to this! I always wanted one like she wears. I wore the bracelet on my hand admiring how good it looked, i felt like my friends are with me. After few hours my butler informed me that we are ready to go. He carried my suitcase.
"Where's mom dad?" I asked him.
"Actually young master, mam and sir are already boarded because they had an issue to solve and they ordered an private jet for you to bring you there" he said.
What else can i expect from them? They didn't even bother to tell me before going. Atleast they bought the private jet for me to reach there. Why always they leave me behind?
I made myself to the jet with my butler. Aunt Clars followed us behind. I made myself comfortable in the seat and in no time the pilot announced the take over. I did nothing but stare at the window taking the view of clouds and cities beneath them.
In few hours of travel we reached New york. The plane landed and we got out. Next i found that we need to head to our penthouse as mom and dad are staying there. I got into the SUV my dad had send to pick us and a bunch of security behind. I stared outside the window taking in the view of New york with numerous lights, buildings and commercials appearing on the boards.
We reached the penthouse, mom greeted me and directed me towards my room. Luxurious, big and everything reflecting precious and expensive. I settled down on the bed, I had no idea when I drifted off to sleep.
I woke up, sunlight flashing all over my face. I stretched myself and had a warm shower to wash off my uneasiness. I wore my sweat pant and a t shirt and made myself down as the maid came wo times to inform me to come down for the breakfast.
I went downstairs expecting to find my parents sitting but only the maid and my butler was present there. What else could i expect from them? To have a breakfast with me? Why I am even expecting?. I walked off to the dinning table and sat down to have my breakfast.
After that, I went to my room and had my headsets placed on my ears and started to listen to music. I stared at the open window in my room, sunlight was making its way all to my room. I went towards the window and sat at the edge taking all the sunlight in me to disappear all the negativity i am filled up with. I closed my eyes and tried to soak out all the uncertainty within me. Music was all I could hear. I was healing.
I opened my eyes slightly and forwarded my hand ahead to feel the warmth of the light, soaking all of it to wash of all my stress. My eyes darted towards the bracelet I was wearing and a slight smile crept on my face remembering her. What could she be doing? She totally be reading some kind of thriller novel or maybe writing poems in her diary while talking to the clouds!
Imagine! Someone who talks to the clouds!
Once I got her diary in which she used to scribble with words on her mind.
She wrote:
I told the stars and moon about you.
I wrote you in the pages,
Describing how you made my day again.
I wrote you in my dreams,
Thinking about the future we hold together.
I wrote you in my every breath,
As if you were the air.
I wrote you in my heart,
So that it can beat for me.
But I wish I could not only write you but carve you in my fate, in the world I dreamt of.
I can't help but smile at remembering the words. Her poems were just like her, pure, remembered, beautiful in every word like her. Influencing everyone just like she does with her aura. Her essence is just enough to make me smile. I called for her the day I met her it's just the stupid me who can't even figure out the feelings in me. And honestly i couldn't because I was expecting it from someone else, my parents, i thought only they can love me but they never did but she did.
She cared, she consoled, she listened, she spoke, she made me laugh!
A knock came on my door bringing me back to the unwanted world I am in. I opened the door and he informed me to get ready for the event. He also told that mom and dad had came and were getting ready. He handed me a well tailored black suit and asked me to get ready. I nodded and locked the door and went to the bathroom to fresh. I had a quick shower and slipped into the fine suit.
I stared myself in the mirror, the black suit made me look elegant, powerful and extremely handsome. I made my hair, setting them properly. I took my phone and went downstairs finding my parents waiting. My mom smiled widely after seeing me.
"You look great my son as I want you to be" she said my hugging me.
"You look good Gabriel" dad said.
We all headed out. Numerous cars and Suv's were on the gate. I got into one of them and mom and dad head to another together. I think rest is the security following us.
We reached the event and all the media's and cameras were turned to us. They asked us for a photo and we stood like we are the most happiest family in the world.
I headed to the hall and there was a total crowd of people that were totally speaking rich money. Unfamiliar people and environment!
Dad gestured me to come with him. A man in his late fifties came towards us and hugged my dad. A woman accompanied by him same as him greeted my mom.
" Hey, Kailer how are you my dear" the man asked.
" As always I am" dad replied hugging him back.
"You mean rich in everything as always!" He said while laughing.
"Exactly Mr. Romanio" dad answered.
"Who's this young guy?" He asked while gesturing towards me.
" This our son Gabriel, next on my throne!" Dad said.
The man forwarded his hand to me, i shook and tried to look all professional. This is my start to look I am stepping to own this world after my father.
Not only to own but also to rule!
"So are you ready to sit on the throne your dad has set" he asked. I know he is testing but I am all set.
" I am here to create my own" I said firmly.
"Like father, like son" he said while laughing.
"Too much fire!" A voice came from behind. We all turned to look. A man looking all like in his early thirties greeted dad.
"Mr. Reids nice to meet you here" dad said.
"He got too much fire, don't burn your self boy in it, you are new to this world still" he said in a mocking tone. This people are just here to insult me I guess.
" Yeah to much fire to mould this world of yours in my way. I am new but not unware, I have been admiring my dad for long and I bet i would prove you wrong about your thoughts of thinking me getting turned in this field." I said firm and straight.
"Anytime, we shall see" he replied trying to wash off the fire rising between us which he only lit up!
Soon many people came and greeted us. I kept answering questions. I can see them impressed by my nature. I became a topic of talk all over the hall. Everyone kept praising us. I was tired of all this so i decided to head to the bar for a little drink to wash off this. I informed dad and gestured and nodded me for it.
" You did great son, I am proud of you!" He said while leaning towards me. A smile crept on my face hearing him reciting that he is proud of me.
I went towards the bar and ordered a red wine. I leaned my back against the counter. The bartender nodded and started make my order. I did nothing but kept my eyes roaming all over the room.
Suddenly a familiar figure caught my eyes standing and talking to a crowd of people in a corner . She was smiling widely while she was holding an arm of a man who looked little aged. Her back was towards me so I cannot figure who she was yet she looked familiar too me. She had a black long gown having a slit with off shoulders fitting all her curves making her look heaven.Her black high heels couldn't help but made her look more elegant and beautiful. Her every move hold a epitome of elegance and perfection. But I can't figure out who she is because I never attracted to anyone so quick who is unfamiliar to me. But when she faced towards me, my eyes were about to pop out, my jaw dropped, i couldn't believe on what I saw.
Sam! Why she is here? Hundreds of questions sheded my mind. That's why she looked familiar to me and I can't help but get mesmerized by her presence. Why do she end up showing on every unexpected moment? What she is even doing here? She clinged to the man's arm tightly while smiling widely, just then I got to know it was her dad. I guess she is here with her dad. Because every wealthy man from every corner of the world is present here. And her father is no other but one of the successive businessman as my dad!
I think she didn't noticed me. I kept staring her like a hawk. I can't take my eyes off her. Everything has been faded to me, my eyes just found their purpose I thought. I took my wine and started to sip it while admiring her.
I was about approach her but Mr. Reids blocked my way.
"Extremely attractive, isn't she?" He said while raising an eyebrow.
" Mind your business Mr. Reids" I said straight.
"You had your eye on her" he answered.
"None of your business, she is m-" I was about to say but dad interrupted me and signalled me to come as they were going to announce me as their next heir.
You have to wait for me Sam! Then I 'll make upto you.
I was moving towards my dad when I noticed an uncertain figure on the window which was high above upstairs. A man covered all black was aiming while holding a sniper set perfectly. I moved my eyes on what he was aiming and got tensed after seeing that he was targeting Sam. A urgency rise in me and left dad and ran towards Sam to move her as the man was going to shoot I can see his fingers wrapping up around the trigger.
I ran with all the strength I had and shielded Sam. I pushed her from his aim and we both fell behind a wall. The man had shooted already but unfortunately his aim got missed because of me! Perfect timing! I saved her! The bullet passed us and I moved her in time. Hearing the firing everyone around the room started heading out. I can see security filling the hall all over
I turned to look towards her but she was so tensed to find me above her. Her face spoke loud and desperate to ask me that,
"What the hell are you doing here?"
