Taming The Heiress

Beep beep.

The alarm kept going off, slender hands stretched and Tamara waited for her personal assistant to walk in with my morning coffee, She's been in Paris for the past two months and is having the time of her life,she originally came here to celebrate her twenty fourth birthday.

After waiting for her assistant, who doesn't show up even after 10 minutes , she frustratingly gets up and makes her way downstairs to her room. Only finding her all dressed and packing her suitcase.

"Jane what the hell do you think you're doing, where's my morning coffee".

" I am sorry Ms Gaxiola but as of today I no longer working for you", she says dismissing her and continues to pack.

" Excuse me? Who said? "Tamara grabs her by the arm.

" The Boss has offered me a job in the company, so I'm going back, now if you'll excuse me",she says and pushes Tamara out of the way. Jane is more than happy to stop working for Tamara this spoilt brat.

"What my Dad called you back? , why didn't he tell me , how am I supposed to live with a person assistant, who's going to do my laundry ,hold my shopping bags and cook?".

" I don't know and I do not care Ms Gaxiola you'll have to figure it out , you're a big girl",she says dragging her suitcase.

"can you atleast make me breakfast before you go?", Tamara asks but she just rolls her eyes and bangs the door on her way out. Rude much?

Tamara grabs her phone and calls her Dad hoping to get an explanation maybe he'll send her another assistant. One ring, two and it goes straight voice mail.

She doesn't pay it much thought and goes to take a shower , Kathy her best friend was called back home by her mother, so she'll just hang out by herself and maybe do some shopping.

After getting ready she drove to her favorite restaurant to have breakfast, for the same reason as Jane her driver was also called back, the first thing she orders is coffee she really needed it,she drunk her coffee and scrolled through her phone while she waited for the rest of her breakfast but she kept seeing people staring at her,she thought it was the purple eye she got from her fight a day ago but it isn't showing that much plus she covered it with makeup.

After having breakfast she calls the waiter to settle the bill.

"I'm sorry Ms but your card declined",he says

" I'm sorry I didn't hear you correctly what did you say?"

" I said your card declined",he says. Declined how? I give him another and he says the same thing.

That's impossible how can it decline, she was now sitting there confused because she didn't have any cash on her and everyone is starting to look at her funny.

"Check again,my card can't decline" .

"I can't do it again Ms your card has declined",he impatiently says .

" How dare you use that tone when speaking to me do you know who I am!", Tamara was now throwing a fit,what kind of embarrassment is this.

" Ms Gaxiola is everything alright?",the manager walks to them .

" I've tried her card numerous times it keeps on declining",he says and hands it to the manager,the manager tries it but it still declines.

"It's okay I'll pay for the lady a voice a gravelly calm voice behind her says.

There was only one word to describe the sun-kissed Grecian "sex",His brown eyes locked with mine pulling me in. His rosey lips ripe for kissing.

He had dark eyebrows, which sloped downwards in a serious expression. A prominent jaw curved gracefully. The twining cords of muscle shaped his entire body hidden in the suit he wore, strong arms and firm chest she was sure he could pull both men and women.

As he stretched his hand out to hand his card over to the manager she got a wiff of his mouth watering cologne.

She had to have him and him offering to pay for her breakfast showed that he wanted her too,she knew it that the year she turned 24 would be the year of her life.

The waiter rolls his eyes at her and walks away after the bill is settled, before she could say anything she realized the man who paid for her just walked away so she quickly grabbed her purse and chased after him.

"Hey wait up!",she says and grabs his arm. "Thank you so much for your help back there, this has literally never happened to me before, it's embarrassing,is there any way I can repay you?",

" No , it's okay",he says and begins walking away,wait what?

" Hey ,hold up,I didn't even introduce myself, I'm Tamara Gaxiola",she says and stretched out her hand.

" It's a pleasure to meet you Ms but if you'll excuse me,I have things to do".

" Do you know who I am ?,I am Tamara Gaxiola".

" I know you're a spoilt young lady that just failed to pay for her breakfast,I have no interest whatsoever to know you any further, now if you'll excuse me ",he says and walks away leaving her standing there. Fine it's his loss anyway she mumbles and flips her hair.

She drives back to her penthouse and finds the buildings manager standing outside her door.

"Ms Gaxiola you're finally here, I'm here to inform you to please leave in two days the penthouse has been sold to someone else".

" What do you mean, I'm the owner,how can it be sold with my knowledge?".

" The penthouse was in the name of Mr Gaxiola who has sold it, please move out as soon as possible the new owners would like to move in",he says and walks away.

All this just so she goes home her father was talking it too far.

She called her travel agency so she can book a flight back home on the next flight again her card declines.

"What so what am I supposed to do now,how do I get home?".

" Don't you have any cash on you Ms Gaxiola?".

I rampage through my stuff and finally manage to find $500 .

" I have 500 and 3 cents ,what can that get me?"

" 500 I can get you a one way ticket in economy",

Economy ?Tamara thought she hadn't heard her properly like her life couldn't get any worse , she's never travelled in economy , whenever she travels Jane takes care of everything her bags and everything.

Fine she'll just settle for this in the meantime,she can't believe her dad did this to her. She drove to the travel agency and settled everything, she calls Kathy while packing her bags and as the awesome bestie she is wires her money, packing her things is exhausting she didn't even have money to buy lunch but now she can thanks to Kathy, how does Jane manage all this.

She takes another shower and changes,if she's riding economy might as well look fabulous.

Checking in her bags was another challenge on it's own and when she was told to pay extra the first thing she said was "is it because I'm black?".

The lady looked at her and rolled her eyes no your bags are just over weight.

After finally checking her many bags in ,she can finally breath .

After the nine hour flight, she's finally home, nobody is here except the house keeper so she directly goes to bed.

It's been so long since she last slept in her bed, it is true what they say there is nothing like home.

"Tamara Gaxiola wake the fuck up!",her dad yells yanking the duvet off of her. " Set the field on fire to let out the mice , you've finally made your way home after cutting you off , wake up you little brat"

She rubbed her eyes as they reddened and glistened with tears " daddy how can you treat me like this I had to ride economy so I can pay for my bags, you're even yelling at me" she says sobbing. Thinking of the embarrassment she went through she cried even harder, how can she face anyone after this , if the paparazzi took a picture of her, she's the paparazzi princess for fucks sake.

"Another fight Tamara? Meet me down stairs in ten minutes your grandma what's to speak to you",he says pinching the bridge of his nose and storming of . She's never seen her dad so upset so she doesn't tally and quickly gets ready.

Her grandmother Monica Gaxiola is still the CEO of the company,but since she's advancing in age she is slowly handing over the company to her dad,why doesn't that old gizza die already ,she thinks,no matter how hard she worked ,her grandmother only looked at her with indifference.

She was sure that she was the cause of all this , because her father would never cut her off because he knows how devastated she'd be.

She quickly washed her face and brushed her teeth, she can't even do her one hour skin care routine.

When she arrived down stairs everyone was seated and was getting ready to have breakfast.

"The prodigal returns,I see you still know your way back home",her grandmother who's sitted at the head of the table says.

" It's nice to see you too grandma",she says and sits on her right while her sister Michelle sits on the left.

She could already see the evil smirk playing on her lips.

"A fight again?",she says and stirring her tea making Tamara shift uncomfortably in her chair.

"That bitch had it coming,I should sue her for every god forsaken penny her family owns!".

" Shut up Tamara!",her dad finally bangs his fist on the table. He's never yelled at her like this and it's making her feel wronged. She looks at her father Victor Gaxiola,that loves her the most but seeing that he won't soften looks at her stepmother Nora.

"But papa",she says her voice shaking.

"Mom give her one more chance..",he says but her grandmother cuts him off.

"I've had enough why can't you be like your sister, from now onwards you will not receive a single penny from me or your father, you are welcome to join the company if you like,only then will you receive anything but apart from that forget it".

" Grandma you can't possibly be thinking of giving her position at the company, she knows nothing but opening her legs and getting high", Michelle complains.

" Enough! It's final",she says

" Just say you hate me because I'm the daughter of the woman that wanted to take away your son! ", Tamara gets up and storms away. Victor wishes to go after his daughter but his mother stops him. Tamara lost her mother at a young age so he tends to spoil her a lot but he doesn't know what happened she was growing up a happy girl and even wanted to work with him in the company.

Tamara ran off and the first person she called was Kathy her best friend and they planned to meet up at the country club.

She went to the garage but the security guard there didn't give her the key to her car,her grandmother had given the order not to let her use any car not even her own.

"I'm glad your dad didn't cancel your membership card", Kathy says as we busk in the sun at the pool at the club , Tamara lazily humms in response all she wants is to relax and not try to think about what her grandmother said.

"I knew I'd find you ,here",the most annoying voice says.

" What the hell do you want Scott?", Tamara snaps .Scott is her ex boyfriend that she liked a lot when they were at University.

" I heard that your grandma cut off,you know I'm more than willing to take care of you", He says.

" Go fuck my sister or something",she dismisses him and puts her sun glasses on. He slept with Michelle on their graduation day and blamed it on the alcohol.

"How many times should I say that I'm sorry,I still love you",he desperately says, Scott loves her he really does but doesn't know what happened that day it was Michelle she seduced him and he just couldn't resist.

" Oh sorry that you fucked my sister,oh yeah,I forgive you now do you want to talk about it over some tea?",is this guy serious she can't believe him.

" Scott move on already,this thing of coincidentally showing up at places Tamara is ,is getting old",Kathy says.

They just decide to ignore him and after some time he leaves.

This is what has been going on with the Gaxiola siblings since they can remember they competed in everything grades,talents and even love interests.

They share the same father but different mothers. Victor Gaxiola was engaged to Michelle's mother he never loved her and always avoided her , he never believed in a marriage of convenience he never wanted a marriage like that of his father and mother,they were both so unhappy and he never wanted that life for himself, that's until he met Tamara's mother an African medical student that came to study in the UK,he fell in love with her and Tamara was the result. But he's family couldn't allow them to be together so he ended up marrying Nora Silva ,Michelle's mother.

Amara's mother died in a car crush and so all Victor had of his love was Tamara that he dotes on dearly.

When she decided to study architecture Michelle also did the same and now she's working at the company, Tamara got tired of the sibling rivalry and just started doing her own thing and living carefree since she made it her goal to steal whatever Tamara had interest in,that included sleeping with her boyfriends,this has been going on since highschool.

Scott was the guy she was ever serious about after coming to terms with not having a chance with her childhood crush .

"Damn I miss sex",she says trying to change the topic and gets in a comfortable position.

"It's just been a week and you're acting like you haven't had sex in years", Kathy says taking a sip out of her cocktail.

Ever since the thing with Scott ended she's just been partying and having casual sex now and it's been three years now.

"Speaking of which now that the old lady is retiring , your dad is going to be CEO so meaning the Vice CEO position will be open ,we both know who the position is going to",

The Vice CEO is going to be non other than Cole. Cole her childhood crush, she's liked him since she was thirteen when he was working as her dad's assistant even now she still fantasizes about him and using him as a subject of her erotic fantasies.

"Mind if I join you ladies?",a voice I she knows all too well says,she can't believe she even imagines him here.

" Cole how are you?", Kathy says making Tamara snap her head in her direction.

She hasn't seen Cole in three years now because she's been traveling all over the world. She looked up and locked years with his blue eyes , mesmerizing ocean blue eyes. Then a familiar scent overtook her as he sat near her feet, a scent she knew all too well,the scent of wood and spice that making her skin tingle.

His usual serious face now had a playful smile that disructed her making her eyes fall on his lips and she couldn't help but blush due to the sinful thoughts she has if him, sometimes even imagining him as some of her conquests.

"You sure are a handful",he smirks and his hand dropped on her cuff and gave her ass a little squeeze.

"Damn the sexual tension between you two is driving me crazy,why don't you just fuck already",Kathy who I even forgot existed says,she grabs her cocktail and leaves giving us some privacy.

"I haven't seen you in a long time",he says "mind if I help put some sun screen on you"

Tamara didn't have the words to refuse even though she already applied enough sunscreen on herself already, she just turned on her stomach . Tamara thanks her mother for one thing and that's her curvy body,Cole began running his hands all over her body making sure to get every part of her covered ,he untied the string of her bikini top freeing her breast, Tamara's body grew hot with need and all she wanted was for Cole to slip his fingers in her as he massaged and gripped her ass. This is the moment she has been waiting for.

Even though they were other people she still wanted him to get ride of her growing need,he run his fingers on her folds massaging her clit, Tamara hummed but before she could enjoy herself longer Scott appeared.

"Is he the reason why you don't want to get back with me?!".

After getting her day ruined she went back home and the first person she meets is her sister Michelle." Why are you here ain't you supposed to be at the company making money that I can spend",she says and smirks.

" At least one of us has to be the responsible and hardworking one otherwise if everything is left for a slut like you who only knows how to spend dad's money and cause scandals our family will fall to ruin", Michelle says.

" What? you thought just because I'm throwing away my life dad will stop loving me? It's not easy to be the disappointment of the family",she says and folds her arms.

The girls have been at war since Amara began living in the Gaxiola mansion when she was five years old.

"Girls please no fighting Tamara honey your grandma is in the study and wants to speak to you", Nora interrupts them.

" You're lucky Nora's here I won't fight with you for her sake", Tamara says and gives Nora a kiss and rushes down stairs.

Nora smiles at her but as soon as Tamara is out of sight her smile turns into a sneer. She holds her daughter by the arm and leads her to her room that faced Tamara.

"Mom why do you and Dad always treat us differently I'm your child too", Michelle angrily says.

" Hush my child you know I love you the most just have patience and work hard at the company and one day all this will be ours and we will kick that little whore out on the streets,all you have to do is work hard,do you think your grandma will leave the company in the hands of that good for nothing Tamara?",she says and caresses Michelle's face and they both smile deviously.

Nora has always been an attractive woman her red hair had always made her look like a seductress but her charms where never enough to charm Victor and so she will the help of his grandfather drugged him for her to conceive Michelle but even that was not enough for him to love her,if not for his grandfather's will stating that marrying her was the only way for him to inherit the company he would have never married her,so when he brought Tamara back she could only accept her and pretend to love her,she even told her daughter to bare the visible favoritism Victor showed .But try by all means to out shine Tamara. They went to the same university and got the same degrees in Architecture.

"Just work hard soon the company will fall in our hands, everything will be yours and you will trumple Tamara like a bug",she says and they both head down for dinner.

"But Mom you know how much Dad loves that bitch ,what makes you so sure he will not let Grandma leave everything to her?"

" Don't stress your pretty head about that let mother take care of it",she says and kisses her daughter's forehead.

In the study Tamara found her grandmother busy with some documents and the butler Richard was pouring some tea for her.

"It's good to have you back Ms",he says.

"Richard!" I resist the urge to hug him, he's like a grandfather to her. He reached for his pocket and gave her a custard lollipop, he's been doing this since she was little.

"Don't worry I gave her something to calm her",he whispers and walks out.

" So have you made up your mind?",she asks and continues signing papers.

" Yes ",I say and sigh " you win ,you always do ,I don't know why you care so much when you've never liked me",I say and the hand signing through documents pauses.

" I love, you're my granddaughter after all ",she gets up and leads me to the couch by the fire place " you remind me so much of myself", of course I know that everyone says I look like her.

" I've been hard on you for your own good, Victor loves you very much ,I didn't want you to grow up clueless and defenseless, you're a smart young woman I don't get why you want to throw you life away"

" All I've ever wanted was your approval,I fought and worked so hard",she says her eyes reddening with tears.

" I know"she says and caresses her cheek, "ever since your mother died your father has been weak that is why I've taken so long to retire ,I don't want people to take advantage and destroy our family".

Tamara looked at her grandmother and wondered what does she meant who wants to destroy and take advantage of them? Her grandmother saw the confused look on her face and just smiled at her granddaughter.

"You designed the tree house at age 9 ,come and work at the company",she says.

" Fine only because I want my car back",she says and smiles,she couldn't miss the chance of messing with Michelle.

Suddenly her grandmother's face becomes pale and she begins to violently cough and coughs out a mouthful of blood fainting in her hands.

"Richard! somebody help!grandma! please!",tears are streaming down her face.

The doors bust open and everyone is rushing inside.

"Mom! Sweetie what happened?",her dad asks.

"I don't know we were just talking and then she started coughing and fainted", They call they ambulance and rush her grandma to the hospital,Tamara and her have never gotten along and always argue but she's still her grandma and she still lovey her.

"This is all your fault", Michelle says yanking her elbow as she's about to enter her dad's car.

"Are you out of your mind,this is not the time for this bullshit",she says pushing her away and getting into the car.

All the way her dad keeps reassuring her that everything is fine ,maybe it's her fault maybe if only she had just behaved and listened to her non of this would have happened,she knew that she has high blood pressure but she still went on and disobeyed her , angering her to this point.

"Hey look at me , it's not your fault",her father says kissing her forehead as they waited outside the emergency room.

"If you didn't come back,if only you disappeared,then grandma wouldn't have to worry and get sick", Michelle says.

" Enough it's not your sister's fault",Nora says and smiles at her reassuringly.

The doctor comes out and tries us that grandmother will be okay and it's about time she retired to rest at home.

"Grandma",I cry and throw myself into her arms.

" Mother the doctor said you must stay at home and rest",Nora says.

My grandmother frowns and says that she's fine and as for as a bull.

" No grandmother it's serious you have to stay at home",I say and kiss her cheek.

She turns to Michelle and smiles at her beckoning her to come closer "Michelle my are you hiding over there",

"It's just that I was a little scared",she says and hugs my grandmother.

" Well since I have to retire earlier than I thought, Victor I expect you to take control and the only person I can trust to work along side your father as Vice president is you Tamara", my grandmother says shocking everyone including me into a dead silence.

"Really? Tamara baby you agreed to work with me?",my dad was beyond extatic .

" It can't be my must it be her , I've worked there for long and I've shown my capabilities I'm more qualified than this slut!", Michelle says and storms off.

" Mother how can you do this the board of directors will never accept it, Michelle has been working so had",Nora says.

" Yes sand she is a chief architect", Victor says, Nora looks at both mother and son and can't believe it she was aware of Victor's favorism but Margaret as well.

Tamara didn't care much and of course she was happy thinking of her pay and all the things she could do with it. Her dad gave back her keys to her car and gave her his credit card so she can do some shopping.

"Michelle needs to find herself,she can't always be competing against her sister,she doesn't have it in her to run the company",

Nora walks out and follows after Michelle, only seeing speeding out of the hospital.

"I hate her!I hate her so much!", Michelle screamed and cried from her room,Nora took the stairs two at a time so she could reach her daughter quickly and stop her from doing anything stupid.

Michelle took a peice of the broken lamp and stabbed at her hand "I hate her ! I hate that bitch!".

Nora quickly took the peice away from her and wrapped her in her arms trying to calm her down " calm down my love it's okay, Richard! Get the first aid kit!".

Michelle kept screaming about how much she hated her sister and wished she could just die or disappear forever.

After finally sedating Michelle,Nora warned the servants not to say a word about this to anyone not even the master.

Since she was young Michelle used to have violent fits and would harm others and also herself.
