It's been six long uses since we left that hell hole and sox years since I saw her. Charlotte. I wanted so badly to apologise to her. She'd cut her eyes at me like the day we had been rescued from my maniac uncle I mean what the actual fuck? I let that ducker get to me by his words alone I should've seen the reasoning behind her silence but then I was a angry teenager with a big fucking chip on my fucking shoulders, by friends tried repeatedly to get me to talk to her and hear her side I defined it of course and the last of our days at school were hell fuck why had I treated her like I did I was asshole towards her and she didn't deserve any of it and there went my chances of us being together. Until now that is. I'd spoken to my father on several occasions and he'd eventually told us why he had left it was all to do with my uncle and him wanting my fathers head on a plate. He had a bounty out on him to take him back to him dead or alive he just wanted me and mom to be safe. He didn't want to bring us into any of his problems of being head hunted by her twin brother he sounded an ass I now understood everything and why he'd done what he did and I respected his decision he loved bot me and my mother to death and he didn't want us to be in the run or worse dead because of him and the feud between he and her brother. Me and dad had gotten closer during these past six years he'd also told me the deal with Charlotte's father he'd found him almost bleeding to death after one of my uncle's henchmen had found him there were apparently four of them onto one, he caught long and hard and almost unconscious when Cade and his men had fond him and had killed the men instantly and had helped my father back to health. They had made an alliance between both the mob and mafia to join together in the running of the shipment business of guns, ammo and drugs. He'd been under Cade's wing for the past nine years helping him with his business which is now mine and Charlotte's. We both have our own shipping company's which are doing very well indeed but we are not quiet so sure if she is doing the weaponry and drugs dealings that is where we come in and we hope she will agree. To be honest o can't wait to see her and how she looks after six years away from us we all studies at college and Uni getting our degrees to make our parents proud.

My father and mother are working things three so to speak they are in speaking terms but nothing romantic, as yet anyway. We are all on our way to Campbell shipping industries where Charlotte is the CEO and we are hoping she likes our deal so we can all work together and I can finally apologise to her for being a dick all of those years ago and I understand family is family and you never deceive them especially when they are the mob or mafia or you'd be tortured to death. I should've understood that better than any one, but that day I was just so angry I'd met my father and he'd told me very little about why he left us behind and then the school got attacked yet again and I thought I'd lost my friends and Charlotte for good and I couldn't handle it and when that cocksucker told me she knew her father had been hiding mine I became outraged and saw death in my eyes her death an I no longer cared what he was going to do to her or us. I regretted that decision the moment I saw her eyes turn black with no emotion for me in them and the way she cut her eyes they pierced through mine, my body and straight through my heart. I could feel the sharp pains that made me making it hard for me to breathe what the fuck had I done?

Gabrielle and Marcel and Demitri walked down the corridor of Phoenix enterprises. It had been six years since that day he'd tried to contact Charlotte but had had no joy today they were meeting with the CEO of Phoenix enterprises to discuss merging their businesses.

They'd been let into the office after the secretary had told them to go through. The chair was turned to the window, wow so much for formal introductions. 'Please take a seat.'

God this CEO sounded cold, perhaps they hadn't had a fuck last night or all. They all sat down. 'I understand yoy would be interested in a merger with our company.'

'Yes sir.'

'Miss.'

'I'm sorry my apologies. Yes we would miss. We think it would be a huge assets to both of our companies to merge.'

'Really why ?'

'It would bring us both new contracts and we can send work both ways we both deal in different merchandise and we are willing to share our callpral with you it would bea win win situation I hope you agree it will bring new ventures and new prospects of we merge Miss.'

She nodded. 'Shall we sign the contract boys?'

Yes Miss. Campbell.' He said, sliding the contract on the table. The chair turned to reveal a very stunning twenty two year old woman, her curled hair cascading down her back, her pinstripe suit showing all of her perfect curves. Fuck she was beautiful. 'Charlotte?'

He questioned.

She looked at the three of them. 'Gabrielle?'

Oh shut this was not going to go well.

He smirked. 'So how are you?'

'In quiet well and all of you?'

'Good.'

'I didn't know you were the CEO of this company.'

'I am, it's my father's company, one of many I studied under his supervision and trained for the job. I was surprised I was dealing with you.'

'Yeah well we've all come up in the world since highschool.'

'We sure have.' She looked at all of them. 'Shall we sign the contract.'

'That's what we're here for.'

She smiled fuck she wa so hot.

They all signed the contracts. 'It's a pleasure doing business with you mr. Russo.'

'You to Miss, '

They all shook hand fuck elecricity shocks went through his whole body form that one shake he wondered if she felt it to. 'Well s is for your time. We'll be seeing you soon.'

'You will.'

They all nodded smiling leaving her office. 'Fuck she'd got fuckng fit.'

I punched him.

'Owe what the fuck was that for?'

'You called Charlotte fit.'

'Well she is.'
