Chapter 1 - ♡.. The beginning of the end..

Hello all, wondering what you are doing here? Well, I'm just like you. I'm currently in the middle of a family gathering where my father is presiding over the breakfast table. On his right sits my uncle Frederick and on the other side sits my living aunt Josephine. How I hate her. While the rest of the family sits filling their seats Well, today in particular, we didn't just meet for breakfast as usual, no, haha. Today in particular, my father called us early for a specific reason. And it's me, my cousin Frederick John, who will be the CEO of the McKinnon subsidiary law firm. That's why we had a wonderful family gathering, which everyone in the family enjoyed, except for me, of course, and some people who just don't care. They came now. My father is going to open a bottle of vintage wine. They came to taste it. Haha. They are pathetic. Don't ask me why I hate being here now, well I will tell you since I was a child I had one very small dream which is to become a lawyer like the rest of the family and my father has always supported me with this but my dream does not stop at becoming a lawyer only, I want the position of CEO of the Malkinoff Luxury Company because the place has always been vacant now all the other family members are working in the original company so I have always dreamed of taking it but when my father knew about this I didn't know whether he didn't like the subject or hated the fact that he was given a high position, but I didn't expect him to give the position to me, John. Well, I know that John has always been an outstanding student and dedicated to his work. He graduated from the University of Law with excellent grades and worked for two months as an employee in our company, but this did not prevent him from choosing the position I wanted out of all the positions. I have always admired John. It is true that he is older than me, but he has always been the serious and sensible one in the family. But since he took my place... took my dream... I have come to hate him greatly. Well this is my current situation Lamara Jenna Malkinoff sitting at the back of the table forgotten no one cares about her like a soldier who got stabbed by his own king who was protecting him. Oh shit! I hate my current situation and how I didn't stand up and tell everyone here that I am the one who deserves this position, but who told me, my father, who I don't know what happened to him, or no one, haha. I let out a sarcastic laugh while I finished my wine that was in my hand because I am tired of this farce that is happening here. Everyone is happy, of course, except for me. Or am I not alone?! Well here we are Hector Malkinoff, my cousin Frederic Jr. He is not young, he is the same age as me, 23 years old, a boy completely different from the polite version of his brother John. Hector is the corrupt version. He has always been denied and ignored by his parents and family because he chose to be a football player instead of a lawyer like his father and brother, and also because he looks like a MetLife leader because of the tattoos on his body, and also because he is a smoker. All of these actions go against the strict family rules, as the Malkinoff family is known all over Monaco and Europe. We are a noble family from root to tip, distinguished by respect, but Hector was an exception. I didn't notice myself staring at Hector and the curves of his body over the elegant shirt he was wearing until I found him raising his head to me after he was on his phone. A small eye contact occurred between us until I found him smiling in the face of the son of a bitch with the contemptibility of does he think that I admire him? He is contemptible in your dreams. I drank my cup and finished it, then I stood up to get out of this farce, but when I stood up, silence prevailed as if I had caused an earthquake. I looked at them all, well all their eyes were on me, I know I'm beautiful but their gaze didn't last long now my dad spoke "Lamar where are you going?" Well, I'm definitely in trouble because I accidentally forgot the first rule at the breakfast table, which is that no one should get up until the eldest one does, and so my father is definitely the eldest in trouble. I tried to invent an excuse that would be true. Now my father won't believe anything. He's a lawyer and is good at uncovering the truth. "Actually, my father is waiting for me. We have a project to finish before we start schoolMy father gave me a nod to go but before I could even take another step I heard him call me again I groaned inwardly "Lamar, it seems you forgot to congratulate John on his position" I looked at John and he looked up at me with a calm look as if he had all the time to figure things out. Oh, provocative but attractive. Well, I won't lie about this. John is everyone's type, not just me. He has muscles, he also works and wears a suit. I didn't understand how he wasn't married yet, but that wouldn't forgive him for what he did to me. I tried to fake a smile. "Congratulations, John," I said these words forcefully. John greeted me with a strange kind of calm. "Thanks, Gina." He always preferred to call me Gina and excluded Lamara as if he was an exception from the rest. I shifted my gaze to my father to tell him that I had completed my mission and that I was leaving. As soon as I left the house, I exhaled a sigh of relief. ." The weather was comfortable today, the clouds blocked the sun's rays, the rain was falling, the smell of wet dust was in the air, it was definitely my favorite weather, I saw Samuel waiting for me, he was my father's favorite guard, a man in his thirties, single, with black hair and black eyes, tall and muscular, wearing suit pants, but on top he was wearing a black t-shirt with short arms, waiting in the rain and raising his head up as if telling the rain to cleanse him. I approached him with my umbrella. It is true that I like the rain, but I do not like to get wet by it. I stood opposite him and saw him lower his head. As soon as he lowered his head and saw me, he smiled. Yes, he smiled, believe it or not. Samuel is my friend, he always used to take me to school. At this time, I built my friendship with him. I smiled at him, "Samuel, if you weren't wet from the rain, I would have given you a hug, but you know that I do not like to get wet, especially when I am wearing a long black skirt with a white shirt above my stomach. My clothes are very expensive, and I am also very lazy, I do not want to change them." Samuel laughed at the situation but surprised me with a kiss on my cheek! "You don't deserve a kiss, do you?" I turned red, not like it was the first time he did it, but I was always surprised by his actions. I looked at him and smiled, "It's okay." "Oh, Samuel, we're going to walk today because it's my favorite part, and I also want a moment to be alone." I saw Samuel frown! "Why?" That's all Samuel said, but I sent him a look that meant, "I'll tell you later." I saw Samuel relax his expression and turn around and leave. That's what made me befriend Samzel. He doesn't like to know everything. He lets people tell him the story themselves, that's why many pI continued my way outside the family mansion and because it is 10 minutes away from the city since it is located outside of it, this will make me psychologically relieved from those pressures now the scent of the forest is wonderful I put on the headphones and opened Spotify to the new song of Seza I was walking in the middle of the road because it is the only road here now no one comes here now our mansion is the only house here I was very in harmony with the tunes of the song and I was walking but the thing that I did not expect is to turn around and find a Ferrari car coming at a crazy speed towards me the thing that I did next was crazier than the speed of the car I remained frozen and did not move out of the way I closed my eyes surrendering to my inevitable fate After two seconds, I started to open my eyes slowly. Am I still alive or am I in heaven?! As soon as I opened my eyes, I found that there was only an inch between me and this reckless person who was driving at this crazy speed. Well, you may think that it was my fault, but I do not think that it was the fault of the owner of this car, and what I did not expect was that he would specifically get out...
