"No, I'm not home today...You told me get a job so I'm going to get one...Dad!...Alright fine. Love you...Yes, I'll call later."
She ended the call with a playful eye roll. She arrived at the door and with skillful maneuvering, she somehow managed to open it without dropping anything. She was greeted by a cheerful Hannah, who was always punctual since her first day on the job.

Everyone was so focused on the argument that they were unaware of the tall handsome young man who stepped into the room. Strolling into the room dressed in a black three piece suit with a black tie, his jacket loosely hanging off his shoulders and the sleeves effortlessly swaying as he walked, was none other than the King Pin himself, Elliot.Elliot's long legs carried him from the entrance of the banquet hall towards the center of the room where Ariana was standing with a angry expression in her eyes.
