Eleonora Gates POV

Closing my bedroom door I walk towards my sofa and get myself comfortable before opening the contract.

I was the only child of the Gates so I knew somehow I would get caught up in the mafia world.

I just didn't expect it to be this way.

After an hour of scanning through the contract, I froze when I read a specific sentence.

If no improvement has shown in the marriage after two years they can get a divorce if both agree.

Two years won't kill me I thought while jumping with excitement. I closed the file and wasted no time in heading to my father's office. After returning the contract to Dad I went to our home gym and did some workouts.

After that, I took a long warm shower while singing my lungs out.

I ate my dinner then brushed my teeth and went to bed as I lay on my back I stared at the display of mini stars on my ceiling. I couldn't help but think of how my life had changed in a couple of hours.

I had to accept this marriage because I knew there was no getting out of it. It was set when Grandpa was alive and it has already been two years since he passed from cancer.

He was my best friend and not once had he mentioned that he signed me off to someone not only someone but my crush.

Grandpa was the one who wiped my tears when my heart got broken by Lorenzo and whenever tears would stream down my face it was always him who
wiped them and comforted me.

We did everything together and spoke about anything but he somehow failed to tell me the most important thing. I was already twenty years old before Grandpa passed which meant I was old enough for him to sit me down and speak with me.

How could you betray me like that Grandpa? I questioned while wiping my tears.

It has been eight years since I last saw Lorenzo. Let me rephrase that it has been eight years since I saw Lorenzo face-to-face. He is on almost every magazine cover plus he is always on the news so I'm aware that he looks even hotter than eight years ago.

The thing that shocked me the most was that he was at Grandpa's funeral but I found out days later.

I remember wondering if he would show up or not and how would he approach me then my thoughts crashed when I saw all the Rucci's but him.

Next Morning

I slowly open my eyes as the sound of my alarm beeps throughout the room. I sat up then turned the alarm clock off and grabbed my phone. I said my prayer and then got out of bed.

I stretch and walk around my bedroom a little to get the sleep out of me fully. I then pulled the sheets off my and spread it. I walked towards my bathroom then stripped naked.

I turned on the shower then walked toward my double-face basin I brushed my teeth and then walked into my standing showed.

After taking a shower I did my skin care routine then walked out of the bathroom I pulled open the curtains in the room before walking to my closet.

After getting dressed I walked out of my bedroom. I headed to the kitchen to see what was for lunch.
(Yes it's lunchtime I actually set my alarm for 10 and it's now 12).

"Good day, Ms. Gates," Lora our chef greeted.

"Good day, Mrs. Miller, what's for lunch?" I greeted then asked cheerfully.

Mrs. Miller is my dad's bodyguard wife they are both young and perfect for each other. Mrs. Miller is beautiful and nice Mr miller is also nice but only Mrs. Miller gets his playful side.

"Your favorites," She said with a wink then pointed to the buffet area.

A smile made its way to my face as I walked over to the table filled with food. I grabbed a dish and then shared each of my favorites.

After eating I went to my father's office.

"Your dress will arrive in two days and you will be going out to buy the other things that you need for the wedding," Dad said in one breath.

"Okay," I replied then dismissed myself.

*********************
Four days later

One day before my birthday or I should say one day before my wedding day.

Normally I would be super happy around this time. I meant another year around the sun of course I would be happy to celebrate another birthday healthy and wealthy.

I normally don't go all out since I don't have any friends but I would buy myself a cake and an ice cream and then watch a movie all night or sometimes I do a photoshoot.

Mom came back from her trip two days ago and my dress arrived the same day. I tried it on with the help of Mom and it did look great on me.

^*********

"How about this one?" A lady sales associate asked while holding up a beautiful heel.

"Yes that's the one," I said getting up off the comfy sofa I was sitting on.

"I love that one," Mom said as well.

Mom and I are currently at a shoe store searching for a heel for my wedding and after many shoes, the sales associate finally found the right heels for me.

Mom already brought her heel it was beautiful but it wasn't my type.

After paying for my items my bodyguard took the shopping bags then I walked towards the lady who helped me.

"Thanks for helping," I said with a bright smile.

"No problem, I do hope we see you again," she said with a beautiful smile.

"You surely will, this is for you," I said giving her a thousand-dollar tip.

"I c...can't take this," She said after counting it.

"Please do, enjoy your holiday when it comes," Mom said with a smile then we both walked out.

It's currently December so Christmas is like next week and a lot of people are doing Christmas shopping.

One of the things I like the most about being rich is that I'm able to help a lot of people and helping in these times means a lot to people.

I walked towards another store and then got a few items before heading back to our car.

"Are you hungry Ms, Mrs.Gates?" The driver asked us.

"Let's go to McDonald's," I said excitedly earning a chuckle from Mom.

"McDonald's it is," Chris my driver said.

After ordering we head home.
