Bab 2: Chapter 2
In the beginning people didn't know how to react to that shocking statement. The old geezers from other big companies started to walk to them and give their congratulations. After the big fishes, the smaller one also joined. Shaking hands and fake smiles. This party was full of this. The only person showing her real feelings wasn't here any longer. His interest in this party faded. Darell already made the decision about leaving this place when a new heiress stood in front of him. She shyly looked at him openly admiring his body. A small vein appeared on his forehead. Everyone knew that he despised people who salivated at the sight of him. And that woman was doing exactly that, in front of him.
"Sir Pilsar I suppose" She said sweetly. "We don't know each other… yet. My name is Bethany Donile. I'm the new owner of Forza Company. I hope for good cooperation between our companies despite what happened before" She brazenly tried to grab his hand but Darell took a step back.
"I'm afraid there will be none. And seeing your lack of knowledge there probably will be no Forza Company in a few months" He said with disappointment.
"I only started learning about this company. You don't need to be so mean" A few tears fall from her chicks causing others to notice them. That pissed him off even more. This stupid bitch thought she could win with that lousy play. Her father and fiance came quickly to them and started to comfort the crying woman.
"It's nothing daddy. We were only talking. It's my fault that sir Pilsar is angry" She said sadly. Both men looked angrily at Darell.
"You don't have to be sorry dear. He's not worth it. Thinking only about taking our clients from under our nose and now taking it out on a defenseless girl. How low of you" Antonio snorted. Darell's brow went up. Is he stupid?
"As I can see now. The only person who was able to run this company was Miss Sophie" He said with disappointment. "And I will stand by my statement. I'm giving this company a few months before it goes bankrupt" He said simply before turning from shocked men and left. This whole situation was well planned. But why did Antonio want to get rid of the most competent woman in his company? He hated Sophie because she had the guts to fight him openly. She was a good opponent. He took out his phone and started typing something on it. Sooner or later he will find out what's going on and why.
When Sophie left the party she was shaking with anger. She got into her white Mercedes and drove to her house.
"How could he?! How could they!" She slammed her hand on the steering wheel. "Unbelievable! I knew something was wrong but this?! You don't want a daughter like me?! Oh you will get something much worse… I will destroy you with my own hands and get back Luca.. " She promised herself.
With solid determination she picked only her own things she bought with her own money. Looking deadly at two men who made sure she didn't take anything more than she should have, Sophie left her old house and went straight to one of the city hotels. She wasn't short on money. Knowing that one day Luca could take the company she was saving for her own business from the moment she started working. Sitting in the hotel bathtub, immersed up to her nose, the girl was planning what to do next. She couldn't afford to feel sorry for herself even if it was killing her. The pain and sorrow was really strong and unbearable. Her body began to give up and become weaker. The exhaustion was too much and the stress she felt only intensified everything. Knowing her body is on the verge of collapsing Sophie goes out of the bathtub awkwardly and wraps herself with the towel. Unfortunately for her, she didn't even make it to the bed. Going out of the bathroom made her very dizzy and suddenly everything went black.
"Where is she?" Darell asked grimly his assistant Noah.
"In the Vienne Hotel. Room 205" He replied quickly, looking at his phone. He knows very well that his boss was in a really shity mood right now. And knowing him and his thinking, Darell surely wanted to go look for his prey. The girl was his new game for a few months now. And he was even glad to find someone who was a challenge for him.
Darell was a very calculating human. The rest of the people weren't a match for him but Sophie was different. It woke something inside Darell. The desire to slowly destroy the girl and watching her fall. And right now he wanted to see her after what happened. She surely isn't crying or despair about the fact but her pissed off expression should be enough to lighten his mood.
Few minutes later they were already in front of the Vienna Hotel. Darell got out of his car and adjusted his suit nonchalantly. With scorn written all over his face he stepped inside the hotel lobby. One of his men quickly walked up to them, handing Noah over the card to the girl's room and he handed it to his boss. They both take the elevator to the fifth floor and approach her room. Noah stayed in front of the door while Darell went inside alone. He looked around and slowly walked through the room with hands in his pocket. He frowned when he finally saw the unconscious girl on the floor. He crouch down next to her, brushing her wet hair from her face.
"Your defeat was crushing this time, wasn't it?" He said thoughtfully. Without any effort, he took the girl in his arms and laid her on the bed. He dispassionately looked at Sophie's body wrapped in the towel.
"I was supposed to see disappointment and anger in your eyes, not this" He said numbly. The man sat on the sofa, scratching his chin really slowly. A new plan started forming in his head. Evil smile on his face.
"Noah" His assistant came in a second. "I'll be staying here. We will be hiring Miss Sophie. I want all the paperwork ready by tomorrow morning" Darell informed his man in a much better mood.
"Yes sir" As Noah left the room he took one last look at the sleeping girl with compassion. Her days will be much worse from now on.
As if nothing had happened Darell went to the bathroom to take a shower. After a pleasant refreshment he entered the room, drying his wet hair. His lower body was covered only by a single towel. Any woman seeing his muscular, perfect body would rush at him this instant. Good for Sophie she was knocked out. She would be shocked to see a naked Darell in her room when she was lying in just a towel. Worse. She probably would have shot him if she had a gun on her. Speaking of shooting. There was no trace of the wound he received from the girl. He found a hotel robe and, without any prejudice, lay on the bed next to Sophie. Darell needed peace now and her room met his requirements. Strangely pleasant feeling made him sleepy. He looked at the sleeping girl with a frown. He felt peace, laying beside her. The peace he never felt before. His eyes started to feel heavy. He didn't fight this feeling. He needed sleep like no one else. He fell asleep really quickly and slept through whole night.
Despite her exhausted body, Sophie woke up at five o'clock sharp. With a big headache she slowly sat up on the bed. When she opened her eyes, she froze in her place. Right next to her was sleeping her worst enemy. Naked. And her? She was only wearing a barely-there towel. What the hell? Gritting her teeth, she tried not to kill the man by suffocating him with a pillow. But the most important thing now was to get dressed. She quickly went straight to the bathroom where she left her clothes. Putting them on, she noticed Darell's clothes right next to hers. With one sweep she grabbed them, walked to the room and threw them on his face. Man slowly take them seeing fuming beauty next to him.
"Did we wake up in a bad mood? Need a hug?" He asked sarcastically.
"I have no fuckin idea why you're here, but we'll talk when you get dressed" She pointed to the bathroom.
With a smirk on his face and without any shame he stood up in all his naked form. He wanted to see the girl's reaction. She crossed her arms over her chest looking him deadly in the eyes. Nowhere else. Only eyes. And without blinking. Satisfied with her reaction, he went to get dressed. Few minutes later he came back... Perfect... as always.
Sophie was seated on the sofa with closed eyes, rubbing her painful temples. She was waiting patiently for his explanation. She remembered fainting. But why is he here… Why was he sleeping in her bed… naked… Who knows what was going inside this madman's head. She was trying to figure it out but she couldn't think of any reasonable explanation. Darell sat down next to the girl, spreading his broad arms on the back of the sofa. He saw her struggling with a headache so he wrote something quickly on his phone.
"I will tell it straight" He started. "Work for me" Girl's hand froze.
"Excuse me?" She asked, confused. "Are you ill or something?"
Darell looked at her sternly.
"You were thrown from your family, house and job" He pointed. "You want revenge. You want to destroy them. How will you do that, hmm? By starting on your own? Or under some shitty company? And what will you achieve then? After how many years?" He bombarded the girl with questions. "Work for me. Fight for their clients like you fight with me. See their despair. Destroy them with your own hands" He convinced her.
"And why are you even helping me? What will you get from me?" She asked suspiciously.
"I wanted to see them fall from the beginning. That company is standing in my way. And you were the only obstacle. I have a free hand to do this now, but why shouldn't I watch you do it yourself ? It will be much more enjoyable" He smiled with his eyes. "But... You will be working like any other worker in my company. You won't get any help from me with taking them down. If you make a mistake.. even the smallest one, you're out" He warned her. Sophie weighed pros and cons, remaining silent for a while.
