I don't give my consent for this, Axel said, I glared at him with a scrowl on my face, if I fucking knew I was going to deal with this man, I would have just shut this company down, I wanted to change the name of this company and it requires my signature and my partner which is Axel fucking Martinelli. Not to worry that problem could be solved.

Isn't their another way to get this done without him, I asked my lawyer who shook his head

I'm sorry miss, he said, I sighed

Get out, I ordered softly and he did leave

Don't get upset when things don't go your way, he said, I scoffed getting off my chair, I placed my hand on the table lowering my face to his position

Don't underestimate me because I'm more than you think, I said he stood up bringing his face closer to mine but our faces were at a good distance, he locked his eyes with mine, hen smirked

I'll show you I wasn't the Eleonora Santiago you fucked around with, I spat, his smirk faded, My P.A walked in, I carried my bag and walked out. Asshole, he has spoiled my already bad mood. I went to a lot of meetings, few men trying to impress me, few trying to mock me and i put them in their pathetic little places.

Miss could I have a 5 minute break, My P.A asked, I looked at her then my watch

Yeah, you could, meet me in the company in an hour, I said then walked passed her, I rarely gave her breaks so let her enjoy this while it lasts. I got to my company, relaxing on my chair, I was getting ready to enjoy my free time and not think of AXEL MARTINELLI, the first guy that I actually loved, I took a deep breath shutting my eyes but I should have known love wasn't for everyone, someone barged into my office, I looked seeing it was my dad

Dad, I called surprised

Care to explain why you own Cohen's business now, he asked annoyed, I looked at him confused

Don't tell me you came all the way to ask me that, I asked with a frown which deepened when Michael walked in

Who let you in here, I asked glaring at him

I want a job here, he said instantly

What makes you think I'll give you a job here, I asked as a smirk grew on my face

You need someone like me, he said and I laughed at his joke, it's clearly a joke

Plus, I'm the only one that can end the partnership with Axel Martinelli

I don't need your help for that, I said getting tired of this conversation

P-please, he stuttered, my dad looked at him surprised, his face was down to the floor, I smirked even more standing up from my seat.

Beg me, I said looking at him

Go down on your knees and beg for a job here, I said, he glared at me

This is turning into Madness Eleonora, my dad snapped, I stared at Michael as he slowly went on his knees

Eleonora, I looked at my dad with a proud smirk on my face

Give us privacy, I ordered, he stood up looking at me with hate, I rolled my eyes

All this is ruining my business, he said and I shrugged

I don't care, fix it, I said, he looked at me with disbelief

I can see you're still insane, he said and I chuckled

you may think what you want, it's just the beginning, you wanted me to become a business woman, watch me own this fucking city, I said with determination

What exactly did the Cohen do, he said in a serious tone

He tried asking you for a night with him and you saw that as an insult, you're already a shameless brat, so accepting a night wouldn't have mattered, I felt a slight pain in my chest from his words but I didn't show that I was affected, this was the father I grew up with, the strict one, the one that cared more about his reputation and business than his own kids, and five years ago, he showed his worst side.

You done, I asked going to take a seat

I'll leave but just know one thing, if my company experience a loss because of this charade of yours, it won't end well for you, so stop It while you can, he said then walked away, that was a threat and I don't walk on threat, I'll see what any fucker can do, I sighed shutting my eyes, some one entered, I looked seeing it was Michael.

You start work tomorrow as my receptionist, I said in a serious tone, he gave me a glare before leaving, After an hour of complete silence, I heard a knock on my door.

Come in, I said softly not taking my eyes off the crème ceiling

You have- I cut her off

Reschedule for tomorrow, I said softly

And also get a lot of information on the Martinelli, I'll be needing that tomorrow, she nodded

I'm leaving, see you tomorrow

In no time I was out of the building getting into my car, I drove to my house wanting too just try and relax in my bath tub but that plan was ruined when I get a text from my mum, she wanted me to come now for the dinner, I completely ignored the text. I got to my house staying in my bathtub, I looked over to the bathroom counter seeing it was my phone ringing. I took my time taking a shower and when I was out, I wrapped a towel around my body blow-drying my hair, I ignored the constant ringing on my phone, how do I still have my mum's number, I broke my other phone out of anger, I shrugged with a sigh picking the call

Why are you disturbing me, I asked annoyed

Honey, your brother said you were coming for dinner, she said, I walked out of the bathroom going into my closet.

Yeah I'll be there, I said in a bored tone then caught the call, I began to dress for this dumb dinner, hopefully my dad would welcome me, I rolled my eyes in annoyance as I recalled what happened earlier today. I decided to stick with a white off shoulder dress, wearing heels, I combed my hair then a smile crept to my face. In a way I loved the woman I became after five years of trauma, heartbreak and pain. I tossed away the old Eleonora, the charming sweet college girl, she was such a gullible bitch that was stupid enough to fall in love

LOVE IS A FUCKING WASTE OF TIME, I spat as I wrote it on my mirror with my red lipstick, I sighed then smiled, leaving my house, I got into my car and drove away reaching my parents house, my childhood home. When I got there, I rang the doorbell, this house, when the door opened, I saw the wide smile of my mum but I didn't reciprocate, majorly because I didn't know how to.

You're finally here, she said happily

Can I come in, I said softly, she moved aside, I walked in instantly smelling that familiar fragrance of this house, somehow I felt more calm here than my house but their is nothing calm about this place.

Dinner is ready, let's go, she said, I followed her going to the dining area, Everything changed in a year, I wasn't surprised, my dad always loved redecorating the living room every year. I saw my dad, Kyler and a woman with brown chestnut hair packed neatly in a bun, she had fair skin and the brightest green eyes, she looked sort of familiar.

Eleonora, she called surprised with a smile

You know her, Kyler asked looking at his fiancée

Yeah, she attended the same university I attended, she said softly, her smile was fading with every word, I took a seat not saying a word, I knew I recognized her from somewhere.

I never thought she was the Eleonora you always talked about, she said then looked at Kyler who smiled. The dinner went on and they were blabbering about wedding arrangement but something my dad said shocked me.

You're a Martinelli and his a Santiago, the wedding should be grand,

What, I asked in shock looking at my dad then Kyler who also looked at me
