Darkness is all I see.
My heart bleeding is all I feel.
Since 12 everything went downhill. Crazy isn't it, that nobody knows Adriana Miller's secret life. All they know is that a strong woman who stands ruthless against the world but they don't know the child that was hurt, burnt and is crying for help. Who was once a child kind to everyone and tried her best to make everyone smile who came her way so that they had a great day.
I am strong now. I can stand on my. I don't want anyone by my side because all they do is betray.
I felt the tears running down the sides of my eyes. I heard the birds chirping so I opened my eyes.
'Hmmmph, what a way to start the day', I thought to my self and sat down resting my back against the headboard looking at my now wet pillow due to the tears.
One thing I learned over the years is to be kind to myself. Which helps me to have peace with myself and head on to my game. I pull a small smile on my face telling myself it's going to be ok.
I look at my clock on the bedside table on my left. It showed 6:30 am. "Ok! time to get ready", I said out loud to myself. I quickly went into the bathroom to freshen up. After getting myself fresh I go into my million dollar closet and pick an outfit for today. I picked my favourite maroon suit, a white shirt and some simple gold jewellery to go with it. Next I quickly up my hair in a neat half updo and some light make and my jewellery on. I looked at the time on my phone, which showed 7:15 am. "OMG!" I shouted knowing I was going to get scolded by my uncle driver. I quickly rum down my lonely mansion because my mais Hema is still not here. She is supposed to come at 8am so she is not late but I am. For god's sake I can't do anything properly.
I can hear my heels click loudly behind me.
I opened the giant doors of the mansion and ran to the driveway where I saw uncle driver frowning because I was late. Which is definitely a good sign. He opened the door quickly seeing my face and showing an angry face. I muttered a quick 'sorry' and sat down while closing the door fast before he could.
He got into the car and started driving while starting to scold me telling me how irresponsible I am for a 23 year old adult and as a CEO of a big company. I smiled a little looking at him. Even though I told earlier that I don't trust anyone there are three people I trust my life with: my best friend, uncle driver and my maid Hema. These people are so precious and important to me and they are my only family after my mother passed away. Even when they scold me I don't mind it because they do it out of love for me and it makes me feel happy because if not for them no one will be there to guide or help me after my mum died. She always used to scold me and when they do it it reminds me of her. I felt the stone cold feeling forming in my heart and my look on my face. The only word formed in my head was 'Revenge' when thinking about all she and I went through. That is my only purpose for life now. Revenge.
I felt the car come to a stop and I looked out of the window at the tall classy building that is standing strong with big bold letters that read Miller and Co. Then I look at my uncle who has a sad look on my face after seeing his face. I gave him a small smile and got out of the car. I put my cold game face on and took confident strides into my company. The receptionist who was fixing her make up saw me and fumbled. I gave her an extra cold look which made her put all things down quickly and sit straight and give me a good morning with a small smile. I muttered to her a good morning and kept walking to the lift. I got on the special lift that was for executives because it saves time. Thankfully, no one was inside because I don't want to deal with anymore people now. I pressed the number 25 on the lift and checked my phone for today's schedule which my secretary sends every morning.
Miller and Co. is a luxury fashion and jewelry company. We make everything luxury from dresses, suits, shoes, bags and many more. Currently we are busy with our summer collection. This time our collection was inspired by grape vines and Oh My God! all the outfits look so cool. I know we are going to break market records this time and fans/shoppers are going to love it.
The lift doors open and I step out and walk towards my office. I saw my secretary by her table outside my office standing waiting for me. She knows I am a no nonsense person and I am very serious about my work. She was busy looking at something on the tablet so I made myself known, "Ah haaaaam! good morning my dear secretary" I said loudly. She looks up from the device and smiles at me "Good morning Miss Adriana", she said with a smile. I give my best friend Jessica a big smile. Yes! what your thinking is correct. My best friend Jessica is my secretary. I hired her when I became the CEO because I needed the support when I was handed over the company at 23 years as per my late mother's wishes when I was not ready and she was working in a similar position in another company before and I proposed this job to her and she was more than happy to accept it.
We both walked into my office which was beautiful, spacious and was designed by me. The theme is beige and purple and the room also has a big large glass window where I can see the whole city which is beautiful. She starts to explain my schedule in detail while I sit and sip on my morning coffee on my comfy office chair while getting ready for my work day.
