Charlotte Campbell

I can't believe I have to sit through an entire meeting with those three idiots I haven't seen them since high school, and that wasn't even pleasant everything g was going so well until we got kidnapped and that prick opened his trap and told Gabe I knew that where his father was all the time that was absolute bullshit I wish to god I hadn't heard their fucking argument whilst I was getting ready for the prom me and Gave had gotten close some say we were two close like peas in a pod though he had no idea of my family background . I knew his he hid nothing from me. I was going to tell him once prom was over I don't believe in secrets and lies but being my fathers only child and the mob princess I had no choice and it was sucks. I couldn't defy my father he was my father after all and he trusted me with all his heart defying him would be defying my whole family, defying him would be like defying the devil himself. I knew what my father was capable of and because he had no son to take over from him I was next in line to do so.

I couldn't believe he'd set up a meeting with Gabrielle, Marcel and Dimitri. I'm surprised that they managed to get their degree, Gabrielle was the brains of their outfit but still he came to me for help at a guess he'd found some poor bitch at college and uni to help him gain his qualifications and ducked her at the same time ewe. Like I fucking care he betrayed me he thought I'd lied to him and I hadn't but he wasn't to know that my father meant more to me than friends and always would family came first and he should know that being the next mafia king. Family is everything friends come and go and can be replaced, family on the other hand can not.

I'd known Gabe, Marcel and Dimitri since I was four and he was almost five we never spoke much but we prospected one another. As we grew older I case to respect them more than my other peers he was handsome 30th a devilish Ora that attracted Moshe the girls in our school to him. They all walked around the school as if they owned it. I was unsure why they chose to be my friend and take me under their wing, maybe it was cause I was helping Gabe find his father . Or it was simply because I was a nerd and needed to be taken care of, but the truth was I knew how to take care of myself the boys had never seen me angry or pissed until Amanda and her minions had started on me through pure jealousy because the boys were paying more attention Tom me than them they had to be thought a valuable lesson not to fuck with me, clause I will fuck you over. My father had taught me not to fight unless necessary and to protect myself well this was one of those times so I let loose to say they were surprised was an understatement.

Well back to now it's been six years since we've all spoken and I can't say I regret my decision after the hell he put me through, he'd tried many times to catch my attention before we left school but I ignored him I wasn't interested in his apologies he can shove them up his ass.

I can't believe my father wants to work with them at all but at a guess it's something to do with the shipping of guns, weapons and drugs that side I'm not interested in but Gabe being mafia I'm sure he will be. My father always has a hidden agenda that comes with these kind of things he's sly and sneaky

When they came into m office I could see how much they had changed in the six years I hadn't seen them and fuck they were sexy as hell snd full of muscle. I had to compose myself beofre I said or done something stupid or in appropriate. His voice was husky, deep and fucking sexy. Pull yourself together Charlotte he wasn't interested in you back then and he sure as hell won't be interested in you now. Just get this meeting over and done with.

'Please take a seat.'

God I sounded a right cold hearted bitch maybe it was cause of or past or cause that prick Gillion showed up at my apartment for a quick fuck god I hated that fucking prick , if my father knew he was trying to get init his daughters knickers. He'd shoot the fucker dead, maybe that wouldn't be such a good idea I hated the fucking prick and my father only needed one good reason to eliminate him. I clamped myself down bearer I blew up, I couldn't afford to loose this deal. '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?' Fox I hoped this went well. It needed to for my father's sake.

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.' I looked at all of them. 'Shall we sign the contract.'

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

I smiled. He returned my smile fuck I missed that smile. What the fuck am I even thinking?

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

'You to Miss Campbell.'

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. They had no idea this place had microphones and hidden cameras and I could hear everything they were saying, my dad insisted cause of all the tyrants in thsi business it was better to be safe than sorry. I sat listening to their conversation.

'Fuck she'd got fuckng fit.'

I heard the punch and laughed it's lucky they can't hear me like I can hear them.

'Owe what the fuck was that for?'

'You called Charlotte fit.'

'Well she is.'

'Owe.'

'You can't deny it Gabe.'

'Shut the fuck up Demetri.'

My laughter boomed funk I hope they don't hear me but those three together are hilarious just like they were at school. God I missed the laughs we all had. The phone began to ring I told everyone not to disturb mr unless it was important. I answered it 'what!' I snapped.

'Now munchkin that's no way to speak to your father.' He laughed.

Shit.

'Sorry papa what's wrong? You don't usually call whilst I'm working.'

'I just rang to see how your meeting went and if the contract has been signed.'

'It went well papa, and yes the contract is signed.'

'I'm so proud of you munchkin this a big deal and you'll be in charge.'

Great now I have to work alongside those three dimwits. 'Thanks pops that means so much to me.'

Lies.

'I know you're lying munchkin and I know you and Gabrielle haven't been on good terms for along time but I won't you to try this contract means a lot for our company.'

'I know papa I'll try.'

'Oh and one more thing you're coming with me and your mother to the ball tonight.'

'But.'

'No buts munchkin be ready for eight.'

'Okay papa.'

'I'll see you at eight bye munchkin.'

'Bye papa.'
