Gabriella Sanchez is a badass boss babe with a tragic past. Instead of wallowing her life away like a damsel in distress she decided to take it by its horns, running the show in a dark industry where women are almost non-existent in positions of po...
It was another routine day. Well…. Every day since my romantic Italian holiday feels like a normal day! I quickly woke up and finished my morning routine.
As I was wearing my formal clothes for the workday, my mind wandered towards the tropical and comfy outfits I wore in the Italian peninsula, those memories were really magical.
Anyways i choose to wear a white blouse and brown palazzo. I paired my outfit with brown heels and a white handbag.

My dream-like trance state was broken by the voice of reason in my head, that reprimanded me for forgetting my mission in the name of love and I returned to normalcy.
I wore my promise ring and walked downstairs. I noticed Miguel and Rosa were missing. I asked Sandra “where are Mr and Mrs Martinez?, wont they join us for breakfast today?” “No, they are out of town for a week.” Sandra replied.
Then she noticed the promise ring on my hand and gasped in joy and literally jumped like a child before locking me in a bear hug. “I am so happy for you, I cannot express it in words. I guess you can make that out from my expressions already! I am so glad my idiot brother finally found a great girl! I am so done with his stupid choices” She said sarcastically with a cheeky smile.
Ricardo who was seated nearby asked her why she was making such a commotion and Sandra proceeded to break the joyous news to him, he congratulated me and said “I am showcasing my artworks in the nearby gallery, it’s not big or grand event but I would like it if you accompany Sandra and big bro to the event, after all you are technically a part of the family.”
On hearing the word “family” I felt a pang of guilt that produced this sinking feeling in my gut. “All of them treat me like family and shower me with unconditional love and here I am plotting to burn their world down, I am such a monster” these thoughts ran through my mind as the internal conversations in my head consumed me.
Alejandro’s entry broke my chain of thoughts and Sandra’s playful teasing helped me cheer up as I successfully put up a façade of decency. “Ricardo, I have found a perfect place for your art studio. We will check it out after your art display is done this weekend. I am sure you will really like it”. Alejandro said excitedly to Ricardo and they both engaged in an animate conversation about it.
I listened keenly and made mental notes to myself about the location and basic information of the studio from their conversations; it would come handy for my future plans. My brain was back to its machine-like functioning thanks to the incessant fire of revenge burning in my heart.
After finishing my breakfast I was about to head out with Alejandro when Sandra grabbed my arm and excused me for a few minutes. Once she had me in cornered, she spoke to me in hushed yet excited tone. “Let’s celebrate your becoming one with Alejandro, let’s go clubbing tonight! Mirana is also free tonight, we three musketeers would ride high through the night” she was really bubbly and vibrant today! I had never seen this side of her, but I wasn’t complaining!
