“I didn’t see either of you at breakfast. Did something happen?” Lucas frowned as Archer and I walked in the kitchen, hand-in-hand.
I know, we’re cliche!
“Loads happened but nothing you would wanna hear about.” Archer smirked.
Oh god!
Is he serious?!
“Eww! No dirty talk in the kitchen, lovebirds!” Thea scolded as she walked in the kitchen.
“I thought that you were going on a mission today.” I frowned at her.
“I am leaving tonight.” Thea i
“Please remember that I actually do love you. For real. And I’m really good at my work. And you will never find anyone even remotely like me ever again!” I reminded Archer as I looked at the mansion in front of us.This is happening!We were at Archer’s parents’ house and this was really happening.Oh god!I still cannot believe that this is actually happening!Gah!Archer was just going to take me with him to visit his parents the next month but turns out that his parents were actually hosting an event for something. So, they invited Archer to join them for a two-day stay.
“This is unbelievable!” The girl whispered in shock with her eyes wide.This is fun!“I’m marrying her!” One guy yelled as he pushed through the crowd to get to me, making me chuckle as the other guys blocked him.This is super fun!“There’s a line, brother!” Another guy told him as he pushed the guy who was running to me back, making me laugh louder.Aww!“You guys are so sweet.” I cooed when my laughter subsided a little.“I’m the sweetest, doll!” One guy claimed as he stared at me in awe.
“So, you are Catherine Queen’s daughter, huh?” Mr. Knight, Archer’s father, looked at me with a raised eyebrow. Oh crap!This was definitely not going to be ending well for me…As proud as I am to be a part of the Queen-clan, we don’t really mix well with everyone. And since I haven’t exactly talked to my parents in a long while, I haven’t had the pleasure to know who they’ve managed to piss off recently. And that’s putting it nicely.I just wish that they haven’t done something drastic yet again!God, please help me here!“Yes, sir.” I replied in a respectful tone. “How did Catherine Queen allow her only child to join the mafia?” He asked, raising an eyebrow at me in question as if challenging me. Well, she didn’t. And I don’t even think that she ever would… But what she doesn’t know can’t hurt her, right?“She doesn’t know about it, dad.” Archer answered for me.“Ah! So you’re lying to your own parents.” The old man stated with a smug look. Seriously?This is becoming childish
“Finally!” I sighed as I watched the last of the guests leaving the mansion.I was honestly tired of faking smiles and seeing fake smiles all around. I just wanted to take a warm bath and go to sleep.I wanna crash now!The event was finally over. It was nothing but an opportunity for rich people to show off their riches by trying to one-up each other with their fancy jewels and dresses in a gala of sorts for a charity that I am sure none of them even knew much about.I stayed for this?!Ugh!“Don’t sigh so soon!”Archer chuckled. “We have to get back to the main house tonight itself!” He reminded me, making me groan
“Well, you certainly are one dramatic child.” A voice said, making me sit up and look at the face I haven’t seen in a long time.It was my mother dearest.At least legally she was still my mother…As usual, she was dressed to perfection in her baby-pink coloured business suit with a crisp white shirt underneath. She carried her too expensive to be of any use purse in her hand.Her make-up was done to perfection and her face showed no emotions at all.“Learned from the best.” I shrugged, putting the book that I was reading to the side.Thank
“Why don’t you even look at me?” A female voice whined as I neared the door.Who and what the hell was that?“Just get out. I'm in no mood to entertain you right now.” Archer’s voice hissed.He’s definitely angry!“But don’t you find me attractive? I’m here, nearly naked in front of you and you’re not even looking at me! What kind of man are you?” The woman’s voice was uneven as if she was about to cry.What the hell?!I frowned in confusion, deciding to eavesdrop before going in to assess the situation as I stood next to the partly open door.
“I know that, mom.” I sighed, running a hand through my hair.“I’m just saying that it’ll be good for you, Mia. Getting used to the place can actually help you be comfortable with your surroundings and instead of trying to adjust like the others you’ll be able to focus on crushing your competition when the time comes.” My mother, Catherine Queen, spoke through the phone.Wait… What the hell?!“Mom, you’re talking about college not about business here.” I reminded her.And people wonder why I am so messed up…It was my lunch break and I was talking to my mother on my phone.
“This looks awesome!” Thea commented as she looked at the photographs.“I know, right?” I grinned at her.I’m so happy that she’s okay with this!Thea was my only girl-best-friend and I didn’t want to be at odds with her for something as simple as this.“You’re gonna have so much fun there, Mia! I’m actually quite jealous of you now!” Tony voiced his thoughts.Exactly! I’m planning on having so much fun that I will always remember it.This is going to be a major part of my life and I’m going to make it something I would love to look back at when I’m older.
UneditedThis feels like a dream!“Not that I don’t believe the fact that you missed me or anything but I know for a fact that there’s someone you missed more than any of us.” Thea smirked.Umm…“What?” I frowned.“Missed me?” A voice that sent shivers down my spine said, making me freeze.“Don’t tell me that she knows everyone!” Amber grumbled.“Unfortunately, she does.” Tommy replied.I was afraid to even look in the direction of the voice. I didn’t want this to be a tri
Unedited“Let’s go to the mall or something!” A girl whose name I didn’t even remember said as we walked down the hall.I don’t even wanna see the face of the one who suggested that!“Not in the mood.” I rolled my eyes. “I just shopped with my mom yesterday since it was a Sunday and she was free.” I explained.My mother was being more involved in my life. And when she appeared in my dorm room for a surprise visit and saw me moping over Archer’s pictures, she threatened to start living in my dorm with me if I didn’t let her take me shopping to make me feel better.I can’t believe it but it actually did work… I actually felt a tad bit better&he
Unedited“Can you believe it?” Someone whispered.“They all are just like that!” The second person whispered.Really now?“It’s the traitor’s table.” Someone else whispered, making a couple of people snicker.Ugh!I’m seriously sick of this!I stabbed my veggies with such a force that it made Sebastian, Maddie and Selene look at me in alarm.“You okay, Mia?” Sebastian asked.Before I could reply to Sebastian, Maddie replied on my behalf.
Unedited“And now you’re all set to be one of us.” The girl grinned looking at the screen in her hands. “She is done, right?” She asked the boy standing next to her.“She is.” The boy let a small smile slip on his lips which shocked me a bit to be honest.I’ve been here for all of thirty minutes and I’ve only seen these two people here but I could already tell what they were like.It must be due to my training…I mean, if it were up to the old me, I would have classed them as Ms. Too-Friendly and Mr. Loner at the first look and not even have tried to read further into their behaviours, deeming them unworthy of my attention.
Unedited“May I have this dance with you, dear?” A voice asked from behind me.Ugh! No!I huffed in annoyance, turning around to face the person but froze when I realised who it actually was who asked me for a dance.It was Ashton Knight…It was Archer’s father.The same man who hated me with everything he had.Is he here to say, ‘I told you so’? Because if so, I don’t wanna hear it.I schooled my expressions and smiled for anyone who might’ve been looking at us.
UneditedI looked good.I looked gorgeous!I couldn’t even believe how beautiful the dress that I was wearing looked on me.And that’s coming from a narcissistic bitch like myself!It was a baby-pink coloured floor-length ball gown that looked like a wedding dress. It was simple with delicate work on the torso, its spaghetti straps and V-neck highlighted my collar bones and the thigh-high slit that showed my leg when I walked made it possible for people to see my beautifully matching baby-pink pencil-heels.All in all, I loved it!“You look like a princess.” Lucas gushed, wiping his tears off of
Unedited“I really think that he just needs you to explain it all to him calmly, Mia.” Thea told me as she handed me another one of my jeans.That’s not happening.“I don’t think that’s the problem here, Thea. He’s not going to understand me.” I huffed as I packed my jeans in the suitcase.I have to do this and I’m going to do this. No matter what.“Just think about it, will ya?” Lucas pouted at me from where he was sitting on my bed.Why are they taking his side?!I thought that their presence in
