Rebekah's POV:
Everything was fine a second before but life drown you into the darkest hole when you start to see light to keep you blind from happiness but to overcome those dark periods you have to struggle sometimes life ends but not the struggle ...... Sometimes those darknesses overcome your hope and struggle dies ......
I have struggled a lot to come out of the darkest alley of my life and I passed it but some of its shadows never let me go they come to haunt me .... and frightened me .
I was helping Mia to get back to her daughter when I received a call from my father he wants me to join the family picnic and my brother's wedding and be at home for the whole week and also wants me to be happy with the family. As of my family I don't like them except my brother
Mark was beside me when I received my father's call he is like a big brother to me so he was concerned about my furious mood from before which he knows is because of Lora's visit because he knows why I don't like her and my family he is one of the people who knows about my dark past so he was worried.
"What did that b***h want" He said while entering in my office "She came here to inform me about Jack's wedding ..... and to invite me..." I was cut in mid sentence by Mark "and out of all the people in your family they got Lora to invite you ...? ?? Literally Where is Jack himself he did not consider to invite you or tell you himself is he really send Lora ... and what did the old man want now" ...He asked angrily or concernedly "I told Lora that I am busy so I may not be able to attend the family picnic but I will try my best to come to Jack's wedding so she must have told this to father so he was ordering me to be there at the picnic no matter what.." He was listening to me ... and was about to say something when we heard a knock on the door "Come in" it was Melissa .... holding our coffees... and some papers she handed me my coffee and give Mark his and then handed me the papers "Clair gave me these papers she said these are new designs of the article from IT-Department...they wanted to know that do you need any changes or they should provide everyone this design.".... I took papers from her to check while the office door was knocked again... "Yes?" the person spoke "It's me Clair" Mark said "Come in .... " she comes in "Ma'am sir Jackson is here he wants to meet you should I let him in ? " I asked annoyed ..."are you new here Clair ..... don't you know Jack is allowed to be here any time " ..Mark spoke in between "Let him in Clair ..... Stop being annoying she is not the front desk person Mia is the one handle this type of things so stop being angry on everyone you encountered with" I didn't say anything and the office door opens revealing Jack smiling wide ......." Hello ... younger sister ..... oh my my ..... look who I met here..... don't you have your own office competitor" Mark and Jack are good friends I introduced them back then but they got along and become good friends but compete each other on who can be the best big brother for me .... "It's for the thousandths time not young anymore... and hello yourself" he comes to me and hugs me... "you will always be younger for me....today tomorrow and after ten or thirty or fifty days ...these glasses and mature look don't make me stop being your elder brother .... and hello yourself why is that??" he finally let go of me.... just then I realize Melissa was standing watching this and for the first time I feel embarrassed of being called the younger ...and being hugged and treated like a younger person who is not so mature ..... I speak.., "Melissa you can leave .... Tell Clair to inform IT department that these designs are good provide everyone working on this project with these .. and get one for yourself too but don't share it and show it to someone as these are confidential ..Understand ...??"she nodded .... "Okay you may go now.." Mark stops her he wants to see the designs "Melissa wait hand me the design and just wait for a moment" meanwhile ...Jack says "You change the front desk girl did she left or you fired her as always ???" ...... Mark replied "Her daughter got into an accident and she just took a day or two off.." then Jack turned to me and his gaze shift to my coffee mug... "How many times I told you stop drinking that think you are addicted to it ... how many mugs do you take in a day... Its harmful not seems to be but it is harmful" ....i replied " I don't drink it that much just two to three mugs a day ...."... He give me a disappointing look... "Well you guys seem to be busy ... but I came here for work .... as you may heard I am getting married at the end of the month so I need you to be there and also the family trip.. you have to attend..., it ...no excuses accepted and .... need my wedding dress you must have been busy in the Fashion week so any recommendation ....? " ....I replied "I will be there in the wedding but can't be there for trip because of fashion week and as for the dress no recommendation your dress will be by my fashion house and from me and nowhere else... " then he told me "trip is postponed to after your Event and you are already very busy...so I don't want to bother you any more"....but he was cut mid sentence "I got plenty of time to design your dress so no recommendations........ and bring your wife to be to my fashion house so I designed her wedding dress if she likes to ... but for you there is no other choice.." "she will die with excitement of wearing a dress from this fashion house she was literally begging me to make a recommendation to get her dress designed from your Fashion house .... but I know how much you are busy during these Fashion Weeks so I canceled the plan of getting a dress form you" ... "I will design both of your dresses" then I looked towards Mark and Melissa she was standing there in front of mark while he was talking on the phone about the design.. "Melissa ......." I called her and gestures her to come here "He is my brother Jack ...." she says Hey while tilting her head "tell Clair to make an appointment of him and his wife for tomorrow for wedding suits and put you in there as a assistant designer.. "... she was motionless for some seconds " Me assistant designer but ..I .." I cut her mid sentence "I Know you are Junior but you can do it I know so relax and do as I say .." ....she nodded then say "who I will be assisting to" ..... I look in her eyes she was nervous but determined " ME..." I replied and motion her to move and get to the Clair she seems shocked and happy and determine all at once she smiles and move out of the office ,.... and i don't know why but her smile comforts me ...... and make me forget all the pain and worries in just one day she feels to precious for me....but I am scared for her too because I am a destroyer of my precious things.. "Hey.." Jack turned my attention towards him.... "Are you okay?" .... I replied "hmmmmm... ?" he asks again "Are you okay you seems to be distracted" I again replied "Naah ... its Nothing just thinking about things .... So you guys have my appointment and you have to come tomorrow Clair will tell you the time and bring Sara too" he hmmed me and said "The girl is a junior and you want her to be your assistant isn't it early...??" I confidently replied "She is very good trust me I have analyzed her she had great sense of fashion and passion for work... you should have seen her eyes when I mention her that she is working with me on your suits they were sparkling and I want that passion to work with... " I stopped in the mid sentence when I saw Jack and Mark starring at me ... "what ..? " they stared me for another brief second and then Jack says "You are appreciating someone didn't saw this happening in centuries.... " Mark added " Hell yeah .... You must be sick or drunk to do this.... especially for a junior.." I was shocked at there revelations "I do appreciate talent... Don't be like this ..." Jack and Mark replied in unison " Hell No ......" and laughed "there must be something special in her ...I didn't saw you looking at someone so warmly after Natalia ...Mark said and Jack nodded .... "We are not going on that road .. I liked her passion nothing else and don't mention Natalia ..I don't want to talk about her I don't repeat my mistakes as you all know ..." My moods swing 360 degree from being happy to on my routine and they also sense the stiffness in my mood and drop the topic...
