CHAPTER ONE - SHE IS BACK

It is a fine sunny day at Yale University, and the students are talking about a particular girl name Gabriella Collins.

" Hey Shannel, is it true that Gabbie is leaving our school? I thought she just went to Paris for the semestral break?" Chelsea asked

Shannel sadly sighed and nodded " Yeah, I thought so too, but Michigo told me that Gabbie would not enroll here in Yale for this semester."

" But why? She will be staying in Paris for good?"

" No, I heard she would transfer to Standford University."

" What Standford University? But isn't it the new school of Zander? Suzy butted in.

" I know, right, and maybe she will transfer there to follow that asshole" Shannel frowned.

" Does she have to do that? Isn't it enough that Zander betrays her? Why does she have to go to that school and hurt herself." Chelsea questioned. She can't believe Gabriella will do that.

"Well, as much as I want Gabriella to be here with us, I think she should follow Zander," Suzy said

" Why did you say so ?" Chelsea asked.

" Haven't you notice how Gabriella changed when they broke up and when he transferred to Standford University?" Suzy asked

"Yeah, It's true she changed. She's no longer the sweet, bubbly Goddess that we know. Maybe it is better if she will follow him to SU, and I hope they will be back together." Chelsea admitted.

Shannel shook her head " But if you will ask me, I don't want her to follow Zander. He doesn't deserve someone like Gabriella. He is an asshole, a hooligan, while Gabbie is too kind and sweet for a cheater like him." Shannel added.

n

" Well, you are right on that; Gabriella deserves someone better than him. But come to think of it, maybe he can find someone better in Standford?" Suzy excitedly said.

" Let's pray for that, hope she can find someone who will cherish her and love her like what she deserves." Shannel nodded.

" That's all we can do for her. " Chelsea said.

MCLAINE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

"Hello sis, yeah, I just arrived here at the airport. I called to make sure that you didn't forget to ask Mr. Lee to fetch me ." Gabriella reminded her sister.

" Of course, Gabbie, how could I forget you arriving today? Mr. Lee is already in the airport, waiting for you."

" Thanks, Alex. I will wait for him. See you later then. Bye "

"Bye, Gabbie"

Gabbie is oblivious of the stares she is receiving from the people inside the airport. Men admire her beauty while you can see the envious gaze of the women on her. She looks like a model in her elegant yellow dress; she curled her hair down on the tips. She dyed her hair from black to light brown, making her skin look fairer. She is very different from the Gabriella that Zander knows. She exudes so much confidence and elegance that you can't stop yourself from giving her a second look.

Men are ogling at her; with her smile, she can win their hearts.

" Wow, damn man, look at that lady; she looks so hot." One of the men sitting in the waiting area said.

" I'm willing to give up my career if I could have a beautiful wife like her." the other one said.

" In your dreams, man, look at her. She is so gorgeous for you; besides with the way she dresses, I bet she comes from a rich family."

" I know, can't you see I'm daydreaming of me and her together."

Gabriella saw the men looking at her; she shyly smiled at him.

" Did you see that? She smiled at me," the man boasted.

" Out of pity, bro," the man laughed.

" Whatever, I will talk to her and get her number. Just watch and learn," he said

"Sure, I'll be here to watch you fail."

The man stood and is about to go and approach her when Mr. Lee came with another man with him.

" Good morning young Miss, Sorry

"Good morning, young miss, sorry we are late" Mr. Lee bowed to her.

" It's okay, Mr. Lee; who is he?" Gabriella asked.

" He is your new bodyguard, young Miss." Mr. Lee instructed the new bodyguard to introduce himself.

" Good morning, young Miss. I'm Brian, your new bodyguard.

Gabriella smiled " Good Morning, Brian."

" Let me bring that for you, young miss," Brian said and got Gabbie's bag.

" Thank you," Gabriella said.

Inside the car, Gabbie is looking at the building. But her mind thinks about the two people who hurt her. Zander and Jeannie. She is back to have her revenge with the help of her sisters. Alex and Toni help her in planning for her revenge for Zander and Jeannie.

She remembered her sister Alex's advice.

" Gabbie, we are the daughters of Matthew Collins, so stop sulking. We don't cry if someone hurts us; we get even. If someone hurt you, let them feel the hurt and pain they cause you ." Alexandra said.

" Be ready, Gabriella Collins; I will make you regret that you hurt me." Gabbie said to herself.

At the Collins' Mansion.

Gabriella arrived at their mansion with a smile on her face; she greeted her sister, who is in the living room waiting for her.

" Alex! I miss you …" Gabriella said and hugged Alexandra. Alexandra hugged and kissed her little sister.

" I miss you too, Gabbie! How was your vacation with Toni?" Alex asked

" Well, it was fun; she taught me a lot of things," Dara said

" Good for you, and I must say that you look stunning on your dress. I think you have learned something from Toni when it comes to your choice of clothes now. You look so sexy but elegant. If I may add, she seems to pass her confidence to you when you walk." Alex said, happy to see the changes to her little sister.

" Well, you know Toni, she is a well-known model in America, so she made sure that I will learn how to walk properly. She taught me how to walk that will command the people around me to look at me. At first, it felt awkward, but then I get used to it ." Gabbie said

" Yeah, you walk like a model. You have a natural grace Santokki, you just discovered it now. "

" Really? You think so? "

" Hmm, so why don't you change your clothes and then let's eat. I asked Nana to cook your favorite foods," she said

" Really, sis?" Gabrielle excitedly asked

" yup, so go to your room and prepare for lunch,"

" Okay …"

Alex sighed, thinking of the transformation of her youngest sister. She wanted her to remain the sweet Gabbie she was four months ago. But she was forced to teach her to fight and take revenge on the person who hurt her.

Among the siblings, she is the sweetest and kindest. Their parents adore her so much, and they all love her. They love to see her smiling and telling her how she loves studying at Yale University. She said she has many friends, and the students respect her as their Student Council President. But Gabriella changed when she saw her boyfriend Zander, the son of the owner of the Morris Corporation, cheating on her. She loves him so much that it was hard for her to take that he cheated on her. They never see her genuine smiles again. She would go home after class and never share the things that happened in school. Their parents were devastated to see their youngest princess in that situation, having difficulty coping with the first heartache. They want to blame Zander for hurting their daughter, but they know that they should not meddle in her love life. Charles, their older brother, wanted to kill Zander for hurting his little sister. Alexandra cannot take it anymore seeing her sister in that pathetic situation. So she gave the advice that made her who she is now.

"We are the daughters of Matthew Collins, so stop sulking, Dara. We don't cry if someone hurts us; we get even. If someone hurt you, let them feel the hurt and pain they cause you." Alexandra said.
