It's been three years since Gabby and Zay started building their empire, and things were bigger than ever. Gabby's candle business was now a global brand, and Zay's sneaker stores were popping up in cities across the country. together, and now they were sitting on top of the game.
They had their ups and downs, but through it all, they stayed true to each other and their dreams. They were partners in life, love, and business, making moves like they always knew they would.
The Big Office
Zay had just closed on a new building for his sneaker brand's headquarters, and Gabby had moved her candle business operations into a new office space as well. The place was fly—sleek, modern, and professional—but still had that laid-back vibe that matched both of their personalities.
Gabby was in the office, reviewing the numbers for her next big candle launch when Zay walked in, looking fresh as usual in a black hoodie and some fire sneakers. He had that smile on his face that always made her weak in the knees.
"Whatchu workin' on, baby?" Zay asked, walking over to her desk.
Gabby didn't even look up at him right away; she was so focused on her work. "Just some new scent ideas for the next drop. Trying to make sure it's a hit."
Zay chuckled, leaning on the desk. "You always on that grind. You know you can take a break, right?"
Gabby looked up at him, rolling her eyes. "I'm good. You know I can't stop now. This business ain't gonna run itself."
He sat down beside her, his hand resting on her knee. "Aight, well, while you over here working, I'm tryna make moves on the sneaker side. Gotta keep pushing the limits."
Gabby smiled, reaching out and touching his arm. "We got this, Zay. Ain't nobody stoppin' us now."
The Anniversary Party
To celebrate their success and everything they'd built together, they decided to throw a party for their anniversary—a celebration of three years of love, hustle, and the grind. The guest list was full of their closest friends, business partners, and influencers they'd connected with over the years.
The venue was fire, with a sleek, modern vibe. Lights flashing, music bumpin', and the whole crowd vibing. Zay and Gabby were the center of attention, but it wasn't about the spotlight. It was about recognizing the journey they'd been on and the people who helped them get there.
Zay raised a glass to make a toast. "To us. To the hustle. To everything we built together. Ain't nobody out here doin' it like us." He looked at Gabby, his eyes softening. "You my partner, my queen, and the love of my life. I'm proud of everything we've accomplished. And this is just the beginning."
Gabby smiled, feeling a rush of emotions. "We've been through it all, but look at where we are now. Ain't no stopping us."
They clinked glasses, and the whole room erupted in applause.
Looking Ahead
The next day, they woke up in Zay's penthouse, the city skyline stretching out in front of them. Gabby was lying on his chest, feeling the warmth of his skin against hers. Things had come a long way, but she knew they still had so much more to accomplish.
She ran her fingers through his hair. "So, what's next for us, Zay?"
He looked down at her, a smile tugging at his lips. "Everything. We ain't even scratched the surface yet. We're building a legacy, baby. And we gonna keep winning."
Gabby laughed softly, running her hand along his jaw. "I like the sound of that."
"Good," Zay replied, pulling her close. "'Cause with you by my side, I know we unstoppable."
They both laid there for a moment, taking it all in—the hard work, the struggles, and the success. They had come from nothing, but now, they had everything.
And together, there was nothing they couldn't do.
