“Dr James?” she asked when she finally got through. “Can you come to our company at once?” She was amazed at the calmness of her voice while her heart thumped so hard in the stillness. “There’s been an accident. It’s Mr Harris. He seems to have fallen down the stairs and can’t move his leg.” Her voice trailed off and no further words of explanation would come. She heard the doctor’s answer as if it came from some immeasurable distance, but she knew that he had assured her that he would be there as soon as he could with the ambulance. She did not think that Gale was going to die, nor did she tell herself that he might be seriously injured, crippled perhaps for life. She felt numbed, but conscious, too, of having achieved something, a kind of victory which love could accept. If it was even the victory over her old bitterness, she believed that it would be enough. When the doctor arrived she was waiting beside the curiously wrapped figure on the ground, and the doctor and his help gave
Darcy did not know what to think. “Louis,” she begged, “don’t say anything about this just now. It might only worry Mrs Harris needlessly. Let's leave it till Gale can deal with it himself." “Which I don’t think will be very long,” Louis said as the old guard came down the stairs. “He’s had a miraculous escape, hope he recovers fast.” Gale”s recovery took longer than they expected. It was two weeks before he was up and about again and a full month before he went back to the mill. In these days Louis became his constant companion, carrying his orders to the company and generally supervising the working of the factory during his absence. In the circumstances. Louis thought Darcy should stay at the office to help. It was a strange thing, but Louis never mentioned the break-in at the office again. The lock was repaired on the assumption that the CEO had forced the door, and that was that, but Darcy felt that there had been a note of satisfaction in her brother’s voice when he had info
Rachael came to the office in search of Louis that afternoon and Darcy thought that she looked unhappy, in spite of the fact that her romance with Louis was spreading like wildfire all around Michigan. She was running after Louis like a woman head over heels for him and Louis being an extrovert was trying hard to give his best to the only women who would scold and love him at the same time but the most important part was she never judged him for what he had done in the past and accepted him with his flaws making it utterly impossible for Louis to resist her and fall madly in love with her. Darcy,” she exclaimed, “why are people so difficult? Especially the people one loves most!” “Because you can’t let go of loving them, I suppose. Other people don’t count so much. Can I help you with anything Rachael?” She thought that the trouble with her little brother was over ages ago and she had already decided that Rachael could manage Louis better than her and she had shown by her actions i
“Well the party was in full swing and I happened to take pictures of the beautiful gowns worn by the celebrities and models to show to my designers so that they could get some inspiration but all of a sudden an angry female who was wearing the most beautiful mask was looking at me angrily as I was about to click her picture and for a moment I was distracted by her beautiful sparkling eyes and forgot to take her picture. “You, what do you think you are doing?” She spoke angrily and she pointed her fingers at me. Darcy who was listening to his narrative was somehow shaken to the core and she tried to think about the time three years back when she had participated in the backstage party wearing her winning mask and said the same thing to the masked guy who was looking at her intently. She looked at Gale in confusion but Gale chose to ignore her and continued. “I was too busy looking at her and was amused at her outburst, she was so feisty and even with the mask she looked like a diva.
"You once said.......,” she repeated determinedly, “that I would never admit love till it became the dominant emotion in my life, outgrowing everything else. She raised misty eyes to his and the shining quality behind her tears could be mistaken. “It’s like that now, Gale,” she said. “I love you. If you want to go back to Ireland or Paris wherever you go take me with you!”" “We can go to Ireland, Cannes, Paris or any part of the world but on our honeymoon,” he told her. She pressed her face hard against the roughness of his coat, ashamed of those days when her love had not been as sure as his. After all, Darcy lived in a happy dream where her family and her family business were still precious but not the centre of her universe. There had always been other interests in her life, of course, and her family might have been something of an obsession, but now she saw herself lucky enough to possess so many things the greatest of which was love. Gale wrapped his arms around her and captu

Darcy Fletcher stood at the entrance of her company and tears were flowing down her cheeks as she remembered all those memorable times she had spent in this place right from her birth. She had been born and brought up in this beautiful city of Michigan. And this company was built by her great-grandfather and it’s been there in her family through three generations. It dominated the clothing market in Michigan and was one of the topmost companies till her father fell ill and was unable to save the company’s position in the market but still they were surviving as they would get orders from their old clients. But six months back because of her brother’s mistake, they went bankrupt and so they had to sell one of their villas to a stranger who had just shifted to Michigan. As she had to pay her employees for the last time before the company was given for the auction. And the man was none other than Billionaire Gale Harris. He was only thirty years old and had business all around the world.
They both walked behind her as she showed them around the company. She was telling them everything in detail about the ins and outs of it. And they listened to her carefully and nodded their heads only asking a few questions in between. “How is your father, Miss Fletcher?” Mr. Davis asked all of a sudden. Darcy was taken aback as to why he would ask about his father all of a sudden but answered his question. “Well, my dad is doing well. Do you know him?” “No, but I have heard a lot about him from my dad. It seems they were childhood friends. His eyes were looking around observing everything very keenly. “That’s a surprise, Is your father from around here? May I know your father’s name so that I can ask him if he is acquainted with him?” She asked curiously. “You will soon know him, don’t be so curious Miss Fletcher and when he comes over I will personally take him to your house to see him. I hope you don’t mind.” Darcy smiled a spoke happily. “Why would I? If they are old friends
