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 shorts and black shirt paired with his black running shoes. "Looks like your joining training today huh?" I said while walking towards the ref to get my chocolate milk that my loving brother bought as a peace offering. He looked at me sleepily "Good morning to you too princess" I just gave him a cheeky grin then sat beside him in the island counter.
Once I finished my milk it was time for us to go train in our training room which is located under our house. It's like the basement but with gym equipments and a ring in the middle. Now your probably thinking why we train and have this kind of basement it's because my dad is a mafia boss well he was because my brother took over the title together with the company when he turned 18.Making our way down the stairs we could already hear muffled voices of some of our fathers men who came to train here today. Finally making the last step all eyes suddenly turn our way when they heard our footstep. Looking around almost 50 to 60 men filled the room and about 20 to 30 girls including me. "Hey hottie!!" Someone yelled making me snap out of my thought and there stood my best friend Marian Olivera she's the daughter of one of my dad's men thats how I met her and she decided to join the org. Walking towards her with a grin on my face all the men would step aside to make way for me. "Hey hot stuff" I say hugging her which she returned wholeheartedly. "I heard what you did to your brother yesterday" she said giving me an amused look which I just shrugged off still not letting my grin go.
Few minutes later my dad came in the training room with his trusted men Carl Olivera, Marian's father. Everyone lined up while I made my way towards my dad with Marian tailing behind. "Good morning dad" i greet my dad with a smile before giving him a hug then turned to Carl giving him a quick nod which he returned with a smile. Moving to my fathers side Marian greet him then gave his dad a hug then stood beside me. After my dad announced that his business partner and ally will be coming the training began. "Odethe can I talk to you about my announcement?" my father asked which I answered with a nod.
We walked towards the bar counter of the training room located at the far end corner of the room. Sitting side by side my father looked at me in the eye for a minute or so before speaking. "Do you remember uncle Damon?" he asked which made me think for a minute. "Your best friend" i say after remembering him. But isn't he in Italy? They moved back there when I was 5 and that's all I remember about him. I was pulled out my thinking when my father talked saying that i'm right. "What about him dad?" I ask. "He is the person I was pertaining to as our ally, he is the leader of the most feared mafia organisation in Italy. Well he was until his son Xavier took over." Wait Xavier? Why is the name sounds familiar, did I met him before? But then my father started talking again. "He will be coming here tomorrow morning with his son and there will also be a welcome party for their family the day after tomorrow and I expect you to be there am I clear?" Looks like i'll be partying than relaxing and watching movie with popcorns and chocolate. Without second thoughts I nod my head making my dad smile. After asking my dad for permission to train I made my way to the boxing bag and removed my shirt before I started to throw punches after punches. And that's what I did all day long but I kinda enjoyed it specially the part when I beaten up some of our men.
After training my brother walked towards me as I wipe my sweat with a towel my personal maid gave me and Marian. "Are you girls up for lunch?" he asks looking at both me and Marian. I looked at Marian to know her answer before we both turned to my brother and blurted out sure at the same time. My brother chuckled and nod his head, "Okay go freshen up and i'll see you both downstairs in 30 minutes" he state then turned on his heels out the gym probably to get ready as well. I then also made my way to my room and Marian to her's. My mom loves her like her own over the years of our friendship that she gave her a room of her own in our family house.
I got ready with a white high waist jeans, crop top and a black stilleto. I also aplied light make up and i'm ready to go. I picked up my phone and made my way out. Walking down the stairs I saw my brother and Marian by the door ready to go. I cheked out my brother and he's wearing black jeans and black button up shirt with the sleevs pulled up his elbow. Damn he cleans up well. But i'm still not telling him that. I then turned my attention to Marnian and I gotta say she looks hot. She's wearing a blue high waist jeans and a green one shoulder top and black heels. I walked towards them and we made our way out of the house.
Xavier's POV Making my way out one of my jets with my parents ahead of me and twin siblings tailing me, our men bows down in respect to my family. Our driver opens the door of the limo for us and shut it once all the five of us are seated in. "We are visiting your uncle Razec's place tomorrow I expect you to be ready by 8 am sharp am I clear Xavier?" my father asks for the hundredth time today. "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
loudethe's POVIt's been a month since one of our warehouse was attacked and also had been a month since I last saw that asshole. Which was a good one month. All my life I was never underestimated by anyone specially by a guy. He doesn't even stop calling me a brat. Like I know i'm spoiled but i'm not a fucking brat. Hell one of the things I hate is people who acts like a brat, specially those who really are brats.Walking down the stairs I headed towards the kitchen. "Morning Sally" I greet our chef. She turned to me and smile, "morning miss" she greets playfully earning a playful glare from me. Taking a carton of my chocolate milk, I poured myself a glass and chug half of it down. "What are you making for lunch?" I ask turning back to Sally. "Your father informed me that you guys are having lunch at the Alexanders." she informs me mak
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
Cloudethe's POV After we finish eating our lunch we walked out the restaurant and hoped in the car. "Since you already graduated do you mind helping me with some work today?" Xavier asks randomly. "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
