The Death Race : Part 1

This is my first try at writing a fiction. Hopefully you will enjoy it.... 

Michelle Parker rushed into her father's room when she heard a loud voice , she panicked seeing her father suffering with intense chest pain, immediately started dialing her husband who was at the scene in no time with an ambulance. She was sweating profusely as she heard those last two words from her dad. Mr Nigel Parker was desperate to say something on his death bed to his lovely daughter but took his last breath without uttering a word, all she knew was the death was not natural. Her father's hand was about to raise and point at something , he just didn't had enough energy. Michelle cried the whole day.

Two days later their family lawyer Mr Gosling read out Mr Parker's will to the whole family. Mr Parker was one among the richest bankers in the United states. He had a legacy which would take some time for anyone to match. All he said in the will was his legal heir will be his Grandson Alan Parker, but not until he attains an age 21, till then the board of directors would head the Parker Banks and Investments. The only person who was happy among the board was his son-in-law Steve Young as he had a major stake and all he wanted was to direct the Bank as he wished. Michelle observed steve's eyes , there was no grief in him for the past two days. 

Steve stepped on as the director of Parker Banks well within a month of his father-in-law's death. Michelle was not happy with how Steve was approaching his directorship, Gosling and other board members felt he was a big time Gambler and was not the right person to lead them. Michelle wanted to give some time to Steve and prove he is worthy of the position he has held onto. She just hoped her husband lives up to other board member's expectation. Four months passed since Parker's death , but Michelle was still not convinced with what had happened to her father. He was a very fit man and Michelle suspected something had gone wrong and needs to be probed. She just gasped in her couch and fell into a deep sleep thinking about her father. 

It was a great year for Parker Banks as they crossed a $Billion mark in terms of their revenue. Nigel Parker was in the limelight and was considered as one of the most influential in his business. Michelle had just crossed 18 and was training herself to step into Harvard. Parker wanted Michelle to enter into investment banking but Michelle wanted to enter Fashion industry. She was brilliant as a student and managed to step into Harvard just to fulfill her dad's wish. She enjoyed the most luxurious life , she dined in some of the finest restaurants , hung out with some great friends and almost travelled the entire Europe and the states. She never showed any signs of leading the Parker Banks , she wanted a life filled with exuberance and fun was always on the top priorities. 

It was the first day at Harvard for Michelle and she was never as nervous before, she knew this is not what she wanted to do but was forced to do it. She couldn't come out of the fashion industry that she dreamt of and planned to pursue her interests while staying at Harvard. Steve Young joined Harvard the next day , he was a Handsome looking man with a muscular body and girls started admiring him from day one. Steve was an intelligent man , just like how Michelle wished to have a exuberant life , Steve also viewed life from the same perspective. Steve's dad was a reputed lawyer who had worked for some great firms over the years and steve also knew a bit about law. Before joining Harvard steve served couple of years in the Entertainment industry and had lost all his fortune ,in other words he was a big time gambler right from his age 15. Michelle was frustrated after few months since she couldn't pursue her interests , not until she met Steve who topped the university exams and became famous among his wing of people. Michelle wanted to know him , one day she met him at one of the friends parties and introduced herself. Neither steve nor Michelle gave any time to understand both their backgrounds. They both knew they were in love the first time they saw each other. 

Michelle and Steve started dating there after and they were virtually inseparable. Steve never wanted to reveal his gambling history neither wanted Michelle to know his true character. Michelle one day told she was the daughter of Mr.Nigel Parker the chairman of Parker banks. Steve's desire towards Michelle increased not because she was beautiful or intelligent but she was one of the richest in the country. Steve's idea about love changed, Michelle loved him for who he was. Steve only told he was a lawyer's son and expressed his desire to marry her. Michelle immediately agreed as she was in so much love with Steve. Michelle doubted whether her father would accept Steve , but she was in Love and it hardly mattered for her. She never wanted to be influenced by her father in selecting her mate just like how he influenced her career. Michelle and steve made Love for the first time that day.
