Kiss Of Revenge

Happily in love

Our attraction was instant.....

Raphael started working for my dad last Summer as an clerk as he was not able to provide for school

My dad found Raphael way too smart and capable to be wasting his years, so he had Raphael join school along with me

As we are of same age

And gave me the responsibility to help Raphael

Soon our friendship turned into love and here I am

In the arms of the man ,who is the love of my life

"What are you thinking ?" He gives me a confused look

"Nothing , I was just thinking about us "

I embrace him again as I close my eyes

Since I was a kid , all I ever dreamed was a happily ever after

Money , richness, luxury cars ,houses never fantasized me

Everything I craved was love and affection

That's what even mattered for me and our family

Our inheritance was a added bonus

Raphael has just that for me ,his love

So our status never mattered between us

He tolerates, my families rich dinners

Well I enjoy spending time in his small apartment which feels like home

I enjoy the street food, which we go on our dates more than those luxury dining

"Ms.Hemsworth?"

I turn around , as I stare at our family attorney

"Mr.Brooks

Hello "

I offer my hand

"Hi

Are you free ?

I needed to talk to you,about your father's will " he adds quickly as he hesitates seeing Raphael next to me

"Yes " giving Brooks a nod ,I step aside

As I walk out where there is no crowd

Excluding myself

"I'm very sorry about Mr.Hemsworth " says Mr.Brooks with a slight hesitation behind his voice like he is not sure about the conversation

"That's okay

I'm sure he will be happy wherever he is " I sighs as my eyes feel heavy

Brooks gives me a understanding smile

"He always spoke so highly of you Briana

Kane ,adored you "

Kane Hemsworth, my father

"He was always so sure that ,if something happens to him

You will fill in his shoes

He never even had a slightest doubt regarding that " Brooks says

"He had me write up a will , when you turned seventeen

Couple of months ago "

I raise my eyes, surprised as Brooks pulls out few documents from his file

I didn't see this coming

"What are you talking about ?" I ask him , surprised

"You know better about your father

He always saw all the possibilities in life

The worst and the better

I thought he was crazy , when he had me write this testament for him

But today when I look back , somewhere I feel he knew

And he did his best " Mr.Brooks gives me a smile as his eyes dwell up

And my throat goes dry

My father always treated people for there kindness ,there attitude and behaviour

Inspite of being rich , he was so humble and down to earth, maybe that's what he has left me behind

To look up to for guidance , for aspiration

The life and the way he lead it

That's why everybody adored Kane Hemsworth

"The testament states that ,all the shares which is in your father's name

All the property, wealth in terms of money , gold will be yours once you turn eighteen if something happens to Kane "

"Until you turn eighteen, your mother will be your legal guardian

But once you turn eighteen

All this, belongs you

You will be the sole owner for the all the wealth Of Hemsworth "

Mr.Brooks speaks and I feel like my heart is striked into two pieces

"You will be the new CEO of Hemsworth Companies " Mr.Brooks pulls out

And I feel like I'm going to faint

I'm what ?

My father left his company for me ?

He trusted me so much

"I'm not sure how I feel about this "

My voice cracks as I try not to shake as panic hits me

Can I pull this off ?

"Take your time

I'm sure , it's all heavy for one day " Mr.Brooks leaves without a further word as I stand alone

If anyone could believe on my capabilities is my father

Because he always thought I'll become this great person when I'll grow up

Go to some great college, earn my degree

Earn a name for myself

But now ,he has trusted me and left his company which he deeply cared

My mom always used to tease him saying that his company is his first family and we come next because most of his hours , he spent was on building his company

Starting from nothing , taking it over to everything

It was his hardwork, dedication which made him the richest person

He believed in his work and not in luck

And he did exactly that , hard work

"Are you okay ?" I hear Raphael's voice as his hands come over my shoulders

As he pulls me closer

I didn't knew I was shaking ,till now

"Yes…"i manage to whisper

"What happened?" He looks down at me ,concerned in his voice

"I'll tell you

Where is mom ?" I ask him

Wiping the sweat off my lips

"She is inside , talking to few of her friends " Raphael says

"Okay

I'll go stay with her

It should be very hard for her "

Raphael nods understandingly as I walk inside

.

.

I see my mother who is seated with Vincent and his mother ,Aunt Khloe

Khloe was my favourite aunt

Who always loved me so much

"Briana

Darling come here " aunt khloe pulls me into a hug, as she finds me

I smile at her as I say "thanks for coming"

"Ofcourse honey

We are family " she gives me smile

As she rubs my back,consoling me

Family

Yes

"How are you feeling mom?" I ask my mother as I settle down next to her

"Overwhelmed " she gives me a firm nod as she stares at the candles which are lit in front of my father's picture

Which is burning down slowly

And few of the candles have already melted down , completely

"it will get better "I manage to say

"You need any help

I'm just one call away okay ?"

I look up at Vincent who stands in front of us

He is two years older than me

But he always looked like a dominant personality

He look more like a man ,with that bearded jaw of his and long hair

I have heard lot about his sport achievements in college

And about his girlfriends whose names get always changed

He is a good guy, for any girl to date

She will be a lucky if he wants her back

"Thank you " I give him a grateful smile

"Go walk him to his car

I'm fine

Khole is with me " my mother nudges my shoulder and agreeing to her

I get up as I lead the way for Vincent

.

.

After a awkward silence ,when we are almost reaching the parking space

Vincent blurts out

"So one year relationship

Huh ?"

I look at him ,amused by his question which sounded more like a statement

"Yes "i give him a nod

"do you love him?" He arches a brow as his face goes hard

"Yes Vincent I do love

He has been with me

Through thick and thin

And I love him ,for the man he is with me

Who has stayed with me every single day "

My voice is confident as i stand tall ,even though i don't match his six feet

"Well

I'm happy for you Briana " he speaks ,his eyes not looking at mine as he leaves without turning back

And looking at me

Even without taking a glance at me

I'm happy for you to Vincent

I say to myself as I see his car disappear in the hallway

I wish he would have turned around and saw what he left behind.
