Chapter 1
Brielle POV
I looked out from the car, while Mr. Brook our family's chauffeur was driving the car, taking me to my parent' mansion
I've just returned from San Francisco, from my university
I looked around the stunning skyscrapers, I really missed being here
"How're you, cool dude," I smiled at Mr. Brooke, he is middle-aged very kind man, he's like a father figure for me
I remember in my childhood whenever mom refrained me to eat and buy chocolates, he always brings them hiding from everyone for me
He's like my best dude since that day
and I called him "cool dude," it's our thing
"Amazing, and happier since my best buddy arrived," he laughed with me.
Finally, we've reached to the mansion
I was not excited at all to reach there, because no one was there to welcome me there, no family
I lost my parents when I was ten, and since that day I was taken care of myself, a week ago, I've got the call from Mr. Wilson, our family lawyer that, now as I'm 18, I have to come back to New York, to take over my Dad's Company, my Dad owned his business of Herbal skincare products,
can cure any complex Skin disease, as these are made by mountainous medicinal plants and Natural foods without any externally added chemicals
I love my parents so much, why god have to do this with me, and this makes me scared, scared of losing whom I love from the deepest of my heart
Since that day, I've to build a wall around my heart, I never let anyone come near to my heart, I always refrain myself not being too attached to someone
I directly come to my room, in a mansion, I don't want to look around it will remind me of my childhood memories with my parents which, I hate to remember because it always brings tears to my eyes
I quickly took out my phone from my purse, and keep it in silent mode, and laid on my bed, I closed my eyes refraining any unwanted memories of my childhood
***********
I stir and shift on my bed when I felt the sunlight directly falling on my face
I sighed and sat on the bed, everything is so silent so, boring, I don't even have any friends, because I always refrain myself making new friends because I know they'll too leave me, as everyone did to me
"Good morning Bri," Aancy, Mr. Brook's wife, smiled at me, she worked in the mansion as the cook, and she was also my caretaker after my parents leave me
"Morning, smiled and quickly wore my slippers and made my way towards the bathroom
I stared at the sandwich with the glass of milk, I'm not in the mood to eat anything, I just hate everything around me, I hate this all
But, I know if I didn't finish my food, then Aancy will definitely scold me, not to find it, she and Mr. Brooke took care of me since childhood, and I'm so glad for it
Slowly, I chewed it, and finally, after I was done
I sit in my car, as I was going towards Mr. Wilson's office, to discuss and sign the formalities, as today, I'll take over my dad's company
"Good morning, Mr. Wilson," I wrapped my arms around him
"I can't believe that when little Brille, just grown up," he laughed, and I took sear across him
I still remember, when I was a child, he used to play with me whenever he comes into our mansion
"Here, the papers, sign them, " he instructed me and I did as he said
"Finally, " I smiled when I finished signing them all, now I will run my dad's company and take it to its heights
A tear falls down from my eyes remembering the memories I spend with them
"I'm sure he and your mom, will be so proud of you," he put his hand on my head, probably he sensed my pain
I nodded and wiped away my tears
"Don't cry Bri, it's time to make them proud," a newly formed confidence aroused inside my heart like now, I can win the world
"I'm sure they are," I smiled and comes out from his office
Now, it's time to make everything alright
I entered that multi-story building, employees are buried deep in their Laptops
In the lab, the experts are testing the products which a just to launched on the market, our food products, and skincare items
I smiled when I noticed him, that boy who's been my partner in crime since childhood, but my smile fell when I realized
I intentionally cut myself off from him, after my parents leave me
I closed my eyes
"I'm so sorry, Ivaan, in this war of emotions, I forgot our bond," I started at his back as he was helping the employee, while they both are doing something on the laptop
Ivaan is my cousin brother son of my maternal uncle, he and I are like best friends forever, no wonder we're siblings but were more friends
I can share my everything, every problem with him, he is practically my support system
"Hey, Big bro," I said, and he froze at his place and slowly turned towards me and his eyes widened when he looked at me.
I shrugged smiling, and I know the next moment, he jumped on me
"Bri," he quickly wrapped his arms around me
"You're back, finally," he exclaimed cheekily, and I nodded
But, suddenly his smile faded, and his arms lost around my waist
"Are you alright," he asked, and I shake my head, I've missed them so badly
"They're always with you Bri, in your heart," he wrapped his arms around me and I buried my face in his chest
"And guess what, today I take over my company too," I said looking around
"What, really," he asked, and I nodded and showed him the papers, which are screaming that today I took over my Dad's company
"Wow, Bri, wait what about my party then," he folded his hands and narrowed his eyes at me
"Ugh, will do it soon," I shake my head
"Okay, now Come Miss CEO, let show your Office," he wrapped his arms around my shoulder, and we went towards the elevator
Finally, I come towards the office and clutched the knob of the door, looking around
Examining the office, a large comfortable chair across the big glass table, and I can see the view of the city from the opened windows
It seemed so peaceful, well that's good
I really like my privacy, I don't like being with anyone
Practically, I'm obsessed with myself
But, I stopped walking in mid and looked out from the large glass window
Now, I'm no longer that nerd Brielle, who hides behind her books, her days, spend in the library, and the books all the time, and my coffee mugs collection, ugh, that introvert me
I shook my head, don't think about it
I have to accept it as soon as possible, now I have to be responsible, my dad started this company for me, he wants to see me as a successful businesswoman and I will become it for him but again what happen to that introverted me, honestly I hate to meet new peoples, it's so boring
But, now I have to attend meetings with different people, have to go to business charity events, Oh God
I dragged myself to the large chair and closed my eyes
"I know, you hate with meet new people," Ivaan said looking at me
I opened my eyes and shook my head
"I will get used to it, don't worry," I smiled and looked at the wall, the certificates and trophies, my dad won in the business field, are placed neatly in rack
One day, this rack will sing the grace of my achievements.
