Brandon

As a self-made billionaire, I have a short list of things in life that make me proud and fulfilled. Top on that skeletal poll is the fact I’ve grown up to be nothing like my father. After that, it’s the moments I visit my mother and she recognizes me. Those moments were more and more closely tied to when I read her diaries to her, and the second her eyes light up, I’ve always been filled with gratitude.

I’ve been excited, challenged, thankful. But never happy.

Happy, deliriously happy? Never. Nothing in my life sparks that elusive emotion in me. It’s one feeling that’s alien to me and my being. I feel excited when I face a new challenge at work, I feel alive when I’m on a speedboat and it cuts through the waters at top speed. I feel gratitude that my mother is alive and I get to take care of her, but happiness is something my heart isn’t familiar with. The money, cars, assets, and other properties I own certainly haven’t sparked it.

Only a distant memory in my subconscious can testify to the fact that I’ve been truly happy at least once in my lifetime. I was young, right before my father became a cheating, gambling, wife beating monster who destroyed our lives. I’d just celebrated my fifth birthday and I was at the park with my parents. It was a simple moment of being chased, my hair flapping over my eyes, my laughter bubbling up my throat as my dad growled like a bear and my mom squealed it mock fright. It was beautiful. But fleeting.

But today is different. As I step out of the elevator and walk to my penthouse office, I can’t help but notice there’s a noticeable bounce in my steps. I whistle a happy tune as I cheerfully greet my receptionist. I never greet her first. She greets me, then I grunt a few words at her like a caveman. She stares at me, dumbfounded, as if I just walked in with two heads, the lower body of a horse and had asked her to make a wish. I chuckle at the imagery as I open the door of my office and settle in my seat.

I shake my head. Did I just hear myself chuckle? I never chuckle. I’m the cold uptight CEO who has a chilling condescending stare for everyone who doesn’t do as I say. I’m called the Priest for a reason. What is happening to me?

Abbey is happening to you. You’re in love with her. Why else do you think you’re going about grinning like a Cheshire cat?

My heart skips a beat. It’s undeniable that I’ve never been as happy as I am at this moment. I’m happy in a way I’ve never been before and it’s all thanks to the short, curvy ray of sunshine who found her way into my bleak life.

I’ve fallen in love with Abbey and I’d be a fool to deny it. From the moment
