Cloudethe's POV
"Odethe! Where the hell are you?" my older brother Ezeraze shouted running down the stairs. My mom looked at me confused of why my brother is shouting looking for me early in the morning. "What did you do now?" my dad asked putting down his newspaper. Me being the daddy's little princess I am since a kid looked at him innocently and shrugged. My brother then came in the dinning room red headed like literally his head is red. Looks like my plan worked out well.
My brother searched for a certain person inside the room and looks like he found her. Looking at me dead in the eyes I stifled my giggles and contained my laugh while he throw daggers at me with his eyes. "What did you put in my shampoo?!" he shout at me asking. "Body paint?" I said more like asked shrugging my shoulders. For a minute it was silent in the dining when my brother's best friend Kyle walks in the room then burst out laughing. "what the hell man? Are you trying to see if being the demon suits you? But I gotta say, looks like it fuckin' do" he said after he stopped laughing but then burst in a fit of laughter again. "shut up before I fucking kill you." My brother threat Kyle who doesn't even seems to care.
"Can you go change first Clyde?" mom asks my brother who is still angry glaring at Kyle who now calmed down from laughing. Giving me one last glance my brother went out the room going up to his room probably to take a shower for the second time. "Odethe?" my mom calls my name asking for an explanation. Breathing a large amount of air I looked at my dad for help but looks like his also waiting. Sighing I explained why I did that to my brother "he took my chocolate bar in the ref yesterday with my chocolate milk, then when I asked him to by me one in return he just laugh at me so I did a little revenge?" I explain pronouncing the last word questioningly. "I gotta say Mrs. Mariano it was better than what she did to one of your men when she heard them talking about how hot she is" Kyle said laughing in the end. I glared at him for making me remember that incident making him shut up within seconds.
Few more minutes later breakfast is served just in time my brother walked in now in a formal suit not anymore in a towel with a red head. Sitting in his chair beside me and Kyle on either side of him. "What are you doing here this early?" he asked his friend who just shrugged at him with a mouth full of pancakes. He then looked at me but now with soft eyes, " I'm sorry for eating your chocolate bar and drinking your milk" he said which made me smile that means we forgive each other. He gave me a kiss in the cheeks making me shove his head and wiping my cheek making him laugh with my mom and dad.
After breakfast I made my way to the living room to watch some movies on Netflix but stopped on my tract. I saw our head butler guiding a group of men entering with boxes in hand to the kitchen. "What are those Orlando?" I asked our butler when I reached him in his place. "Ohh it's chocolates and chocolate milks your brother called to be delivered here for you. "He said smiling at my shocked face. "Are these the chocolates and milk I asked to be delivered Orlando?" my brother's voice ask from behind. Tuning on my heels there stood my brother with a cheeky grin plastered on his cheek probably knowing he surprised me with this delivery. "A-are y..you serious this is all for m-me?" I asked stuttering a little making him chuckle while he nod his head. Running towards him with a smile on my face I tackled him in a hug then kissed his cheeks making him laugh while I thank him again and again. "Ok, ok I get it your welcome but you have to promise me you'll drink plenty of water after eating chocolate" he reminds me like I'm some kind of kid. "I know, I know it's not like I'm 5. I'm already 18 so I know what to do." I answer making him look at me amused "I know your 18 but you act like 5 sometimes, well most of the time" he said like he's stating a huge fact. I looked at him blankly making him shake his head then bid his goodbye for he has work to do.
After my brother left with his best friend I asked my personal maid to make me popcorn and bring it to the living room with some chocolate. Once she came back I asked her to sit and watch with me which she obeyed and watched with me while we ate popcorn and drank the smoothie she made. And that's what we did till my mom asked me to change for we will have lunch together.
After having lunch with my mom we went to the mall and shopped for god knows what.
As we made our way to onother shop a group of teens approch me and my mom with big smiles on their face. I smiled at them as they stoped in front of us. "Hi ladies" my mom greets them with a warm smile. "Oh my gosh..uhmm..hi M-mrs. Mariano. H-hi Ms. C-cloudethe!" the girl in a black crop top and white shorts states nervously. I smiled at her chuckling a little saying hi to them all. There are three girls infront of us now and they all look cute. They clearly don't know what to do or say with us infront of them. Seeing them in that state I slightly laugh and shook my head. "You guys don't need to be nervous we don't bite. Now let's get that picture 'cuz I'm sure that's what you girls wan't right?" I state making them all nod their head and pull out their phones at the same time. I laugh once more with their cuteness but now my mom joined in.
Cloudethe's POV I was awakened by my alarm blaring from my cellphone. Groaning I reached for my phone from my side table and turned it off then checked the time to read 10:23 am. Luckily i'm homed schooled since first grade so I don't need to wake up early. Standing up from my bed I headed to my bathroom to get ready for the day. I brushed my teeth and hoped in the shower. After taking a long nice shower I hoped out and wrapped my body with my fluffy towel and using a smaller one for my hair. Walking out the bathroom I walked in my walk in closet. I then wore a pair of undergarments and grabbed a pair of black yoga pants together with a plain white shirt covering my sports bra pairing it with my black and white running shoes. After getting ready I made my way down stairs to the kitchen to find my brother wearing a pair of basketball s

"Yes father you told me that for the hundredth time today" i answer making my sister giggle beside me. My father just gave me a nod then turned to my mom making their own little chat. Pulling out my cellphone I received a message from my mom whose literally sitting in front of me. Giving her a glance before opening her message it shows a picture of a girl about the age of 17 or 18 with brown eyes, lush pink lips, thick eye lashes with thick eyebrows and pointed nose. Her face hugged by her long w
Cloudethe's POVI woke up with my brother shaking me while shouting for me to wake up. Groaning I shove his head away then pulled my duvet over my head. I was about to go back to sleep when my blanket was pulled away from me by my annoying older brother. "Clyde!!! Give me back my blanket!!!" I shout making him look at me blankly, "Get up you have 1 hour to get ready before Uncle Damon arrives with his son" after hearing this I looked up my room's wall clock to read the time 6:58 am. Shoot I forgot they're coming today at 8. Looking back at him I told him to get out my room before going to the bathroom to get ready. Walking down the stairs to get something to eat in the kitchen for I still have about 15 minutes before our guests comes. Grabbing some oatmeal cookies my mom must have baked, I poured myself some chocolate milk. Halfway through my milk and cookies my father enters the kit
Cloudethe's POV My personal maid Ann returned with snacks and drinks five minutes ago. So now i'm once again watching my movie while eating some chips.Since we sat in the living room I noticed Xavier stealing glances towards me but since then his face was also stone cold and blank. Making it hard to read his emotions or whats running in his mind. I was deep in my thoughts that I didn't notice the movie already ended.O turned my head towards my brother to find him focused on his phone same does to Xavier whose beside me. I then turned to my father's direction to find him busy talking to uncle Damon. Standing I approach the elders, "hmm excuse me? Dad can I go now?" I ask politely with a smile. "Sure darling but wherever your going be back for lunch. We have something to talk about" he answers me seriously making me nod with a frown attached on my face.Walking out the room I g

As we entered my fathers study, my dad sat in his chair behind his mahogany table. Uncle Damon sat on the chair in front of the table on the left side while I sat on the chair placed on the right. On the other hand my brother stood behind me while Xavier doing the same just beside his father's chair.It was silent for a minute or so making me a little nervous in the inside. All eyes was then focused on my dad when he spoke, "we would like to talk to you guys about something important." He starts making me more confused. "It it a bad news or a good news?" I decide to ask. My dad let out a sigh, "for me and your uncle it is a good one" he states. "But we don't know if it's a good one for you guys...speciall

Walking down the stairs I can hear my dad's voice in the living room so I made my way there. Entering the room all four men where sitting talking about god knows what. By hearing the clicking of my heels all four pairs of eyes turn to me. But my eyes looked at a certain pair of bluish green eyes.Xavier's POVGreat my mother called and ask me take Cloudethe to where they are. While waiting for her I sat with everyone else in the mansion's living room. From time to time the elders would ask me or Clyde about something.

Cloudethe's POVIt was already 9 when me and my mom arrived home. After dinner my mom made me ride back with Xavier again. Like seriously what is their problem? They really want us to "get to know and get comfortable with one another" like it's clear he doesn't like me and I don't like him. So long story short I was stuck with him on the ride home.Taking my phone before sitting in my bed. I unlocked the screen and went through my social media. When something or should I say someone with cold pair of eyes crossed my mind. Searching his name on instagram I found his account within minutes.Username: Xavier.AAFollowers:10.9MFollowing: 6Post: 597Wow he's famous. Wondering why he only follows 6 people. I clicked his following list and checked who t

Tsk.Reaching the warehouse gunshots after gunshots can be heard. Stepping out the van we all made our different ways and killed anyone who tried to block our way. My side was clear so I turned to see Cloudethe holding two guns killing all the men coming her way. This brat can be a badass from time to time. After she cleared her side our eyes met. Looking at her with cold eyes with a blank expression she raised her eyes at me. She then made her way in the warehouse where gunshots can still be heard. I followed after her and we were met with three members of the gang. The were about to shoot us when all of their guns were out of bullet. Smirking I shove my gun in my back th
Cloudethe's POV Dinner went well we decided to go to this Italian restaurant my family owns. We just arrived and now I'm currently in Xavier's room while he's downstairs talking with his friends. I'm still pissed with my conversation a while ago with Marian. They wouldn't tell any of us the problem and non of us have any clue what it is. I'm acting like this 'cuz I know the reason they want us back in New York sooner is important. I took my phone out as I comb my hair. I just got finished washing my face and changing. I dialed my brother's phone and he answered by the third ring. "Hello baby you need anything?" his voice ring through the phone. I cleared my throat and sigh. "Why do we need to get back there sooner than we are supposed to?" I ask calmly. The

"Sure I don't have anything to do anyway." I state then silence settled inside the limo on our way to the company. "Ok. I'm done" I state closing the last file then stretched my arms above my head. The moment we arrived he asked me to arrange some files which was easy. Now after two hours of sitting on the couch and arranging files I'm finally done. "Well that was fast. Just put it there for now" Xavier state giving me a glance. "Would you like to eat something?" he then ask making me realise I am hungry. "Yeah sure, I am kinda hungry" I state then continued, "I want some pizza and coke." He nodded his head then called someone to buy us some pizza. I let out a deep
Cloudethe's POV I was about to say something when someone knocked the door. Xavier and I looked at each other for a second and I ask whoever it was to come in. The doorknob rattled as someone opened the door and in came Xavier's mom with a surprised expression as she saw Xavier and I sitting on the same bed. "Ohh..sorry I didn't know you were together. I checked you room and you weren't there so I thought you already left without notice" she state looking at us with an analysing eyes. I shifted uncomfortably and Xavier must have noticed it. "Mom what are you doing here?" he ask making her mom gaze land on him. "I visited a friend" she state curtly then looked at me again then to Xavier. "So..you guys seems to be getting close that you guys sleep on the same bed already huh" she state making me look away but I know my face is already flushed. "Please get out. We'll meet you
Xavier's POV "What do you wanna know?" I ask. Getting to know each other is not a bad idea right? Geez this girl makes me think things I don't usually think and makes me do what I don't usually do. Just like half an hour ago. I don't usually laugh or even take pictures unless it's necessary. I was out of my thoughts when Dethy spoke. "Let's start with the basic. What's your favorite color?" she asks. I don't know why but I kind of find it cute. Yeah creepy right. "Black, white and grey" I answer. "Oh mines black, white and silver" she says nodding her head a little. We continued asking and answering basic questions when she asked another. "how many girlfriend did you had?" she ask. I cleared my throat, "None." I state. She raised her right eyebrow at me questioningly. "All of the girls I've been with was all flings" I explain. "Oh someone who's willing to give what you need. I see." she
Cloudethe's POV Stepping in my black bikini I pulled up a black crop top and white shorts. I picked up my sunscreen and made my way out my room. As I walk down the hall I heard footsteps from behind me. Turning around, Xavier walks towards me now in only a black board shorts and white shirt. I gave him a small smile then asks, "are you coming with me by the shore?" He simply nodded his head and continued walking. As I go near the beach I say two beach chair with a big umbrella in the middle. I glanced at Xavier to find him looking at me. I just smiled at him and speed walked towards the the chair. Looks like he asked someone to prepare this while we change our clothes. I sat down on the chair at the right side leaving him with the one on the left side. A minute or two of silence past until a Coralyn came with drinks. Good thing the weather today isn't rai
Cloudethe's POVStanding side by side with Xavier, I stood there uncomfortably. The photographer asked Xavier to hold me by the waist. Few seconds later I felt his big warm hands on my waist sending shrivers through my spine. I don't know why but I found myself leaning agains his touch. For some unknown reason I felt safe with him holding me and I feel comfortable. I looked up to him then our eyes met and our lips only inches away each other. For some unknown reason I found myself getting lost deep in his bluish green eyes. I snapped out of my daze and looked away. "Aww that was so cute now, I want you to kneel in front of her and pretend to tie her shoelaces" the photographer, Mark instructs.We took a few more shots some with only me and with Xavier alone. Now we are checking the shots and it was pretty good. But I love the first one.
Cloudethe's POVAs we exit the house we are met by a limo waiting for us and a black car behind which might be used by the guards that will be with us. "Is the limo a must?" I ask. He looked at me confusedly, "why? Don't you want it?" I looked at him then sigh. He must be thinking that i'm a spoilt brat and not riding a limo will be the death of me. "I actually prefer taking the taxi. Limousines attracts too much attention" I say truthfully. "You do know that even if you exit a taxi you will get attentions considering your a model and your family owns the top company in New York. So basically your face is all around the news and magazines" he state a matter of factly. Why does he have to mention me being a model..wait how did he.."how did you know i'm a model?" I ask. "My mom has all the magazines that your face is included and your photos is everywhere in social media" he says casually.
Cloudethe's POVI woke up as the sun shines from the window that I forgot to close last night. Groaning I stood up and strode towards the bathroom. Looking at myself through the mirror, my hair is a mess, and my eyes are half open. Geez I stayed up late last night for my brother called and told me about a new contract deal he wants me to double check for his secretary is on a day off. Yup he asks me to be his secretary when his secretary is on leave or whatever. Turning on the faucet I washed my face and brushed my teeth. Drying my face I let my hair free from it's messy bun and started to untangle and brush my hair. Letting my hair down I made my way to the kitchen with my phone in hand.Unlocking my phone while walking down the hall to the kitchen I ran into a hard wall knocking my phone out my hand. "Watch where your going brat" the
Xavier's POV I was shooting our enemies when I felt a bullet flying inches away from my face. I then turned to where it came from with wide eyes then to where the bullet landed with a thud following it. Looking down at a dead man's body I turn back again to Cloudethe who has a blank look on her face. We stared at each other for a minute until Bob informed me that only 4 of our men were injured and everything is clear that he already called someone to clean up the mess.We are now sitting inside the car while my men cleans up the mess on the road. Good thing I always fly at night so there are no car passing by the road. I turn to my left to see Cloudethe reassembling her gun. She might have felt my gaze on her so she turn to me with cold eyes. She raised an eyebrow at me, "what are you looking at?" she asks sassily. "Why did you kill the guy behind me?" I asked but soon regrets it. Wh
