  [  AITANA ]

All four of us I,Dad,Mom and uncle Robert were having our meal on the dining table of coarse fabulously cooked by my chef Mom.

"Robert, Aitana is too joining us tomorrow in the auction."Dad said to Uncle Robert in his plain cold tone.

Uncle dropped his fork in the table with chicken chunk stuck into it and stared at daddy as if he saw a ghost.

For a moment but I didn't like his gesture but kept mum coz I respect him equally as my Dad.He plays the role of my guardian in the absence of Dad but it doesn't mean he always treats me like a fragile doll which I am not because being the only surviving child of Raymond Grayson .I became the solo heir of Graysons,the biggest Mafia clan in the U.S.

"Brother I don't need to remind you what kind of people will be there.I mean there are high chances of violent renounter among mafia gangs.If princess will join us,her life may be in danger."Uncle reasoned his insecurity.

"But uncle I can face them for God's sake I am turning 25 ,I've slaughtered numberless enemies under my heel it's high time uncle now I should also learn to do business rather than killing some mere pests.Its high time you should consider giving me more responsibilities  because sooner or later I have to take your position."I revolted out of my poor temperament.

"Calm down Aitana and have

your food first."My Mom squeezed my knuckles which turned white

in anger.

Dad also gestured me to do the same and then averted his gaze to uncle.

"She is right Robert you and I won't get younger now so it's better if she will learn our every business skills and I have full faith on her."Dad said to him after which he didn't oppose further.

I smirked at him victoriously.He has been loyal to us but after Dad,he wants to see his son and my douchebag cunt of a cousin Brandon to take over the Mafia boss's position which means the countdown of our downfall.

"Okay boss be ready on time.I'll be here around ten in the morning."Robert said before leaving.

"Princess go and take some rest.I'll see you in the morning.."Dad said kissing my forehead and left to his own room.

I turned to Mum and find her putting lid on the bowls.I held her palms and she looked at me confused by my sudden action.

"Do you need something honey?"

She asked me with a raised brow.

"Yeah a mind numbing head massage from your magical fingers."I smiled encircling my hands loosely around her neck.

She smiled back on me and ruffled

my hairs.Her eyes suddenly became moist .I frowned as I hardly see

her crying.

"Mom what happened?"I asked her worriedly.My mother is my only weakness.Despite being the wife of the most notorious gang leader of the country, she always tries to follow the path of religion and infuse her morals into me but I chose my own path to follow my father.

"Nothing..it just..how will I live after your marriage..you'll go away..with your Prince."She said.

"Ahh you really made me scared Mum and there is no prince charming in our world but only the devils in men's disguise. "I rolled my eyes on her silly reason.

"You think it's a joke.I can't even imagine of you being away from me Aitana but one day you have to go and start a new life with your husband."She hit my shoulder in annoyance.

"Mom you're troubling yourself thinking about our separation then let me clear one thing to youthat I am born to kill and rule not for being a truce wife of someone."I said and my voice held determination.

Her face became stiff and she freed herself from my hold.

"Aitana you know I fell in love with your Dad in spite of knowing

about him but when you were born as a result of our love ,I thought my child won't follow her Dad's footsteps.I wished you to inherit human qualities nor like your dad's."She said,her tone was upset.

"Mom,I don't kill innocents but those who tries to harm or reach Dad and our business.Is it wrong for a child to protect his or her parents?I am doing my duties of being the only child of Liam Grayson.I don't feel it's wrong."I replied her.I hate to argue with her but sometimes she compells me to .

"Go to your room.I will be there in some time."She dismissed me coldly and I too didn't give her a ear and rushed to

my room.

Next Day....

I was more excited than a little child who was going to school for the first time.I was wearing a black dress perfectly fitted on my waist and flows till my knees with boat neck and full sleeves in short it was successful in hiding most of my body .

I am not much fond of faminine attires but my Daddy strictly ordered me to wear one as he wanted me to look more prettier than other mafia girls.

I did minimum make up ,just a strock of mascara and pink lip gloss and diamond studs in my ears.Putting on my golden heels I hide my gun on my thigh band without Dad's acknowledgement.

My Mom and Dad were waiting for me in the hallway.I noticed our safety guards were laced with the finest handguns .I walked passed them showing thumbsup to them .

Mum kissed my cheeks .Her smiley face was telling that she forgot our night conversation.It was reliving

for me.

"You are looking very pretty my princess."She complimented and I looked down blushing.

"Your Mom is right my daughter is looking like a real princess but who chose this dress as far as my experience says it is not you honey."My Dad teased me.

"Yeah yeah it's not me but it's Brooke."

I replied in annoyance.Brooke,my best friend and my Dad's right hand's daughter was over the edge when I asked her to pick a dress for me but I didn't expect her to go overboard.

"I guessed it must be her only or

elsemy daughter jumps into fighting suits."He laughed.

"I fit best in them and they are

much comfortable than these girly dresses."I defended myself.

My parents were in a mood to make fun of me but thanks to Casio who came there on the mean time thus saving me from my teasing parents.

"Good morning Boss ,Mam and princess."He bowed politely.

We nodded our head.

"Robert Sir is is waiting outside  for you and princess."He told Daddy.

"Okay lets go.."He said and Cassio left.

"Wish me good luck Mom."I said kissing her cheeks.

"My best wishes are always with you."She whispered into my ear but her next sentence resulted heat on my cheeks."I wish you would get your P

prince there too."

"Whatever."I rolled my eyes.

Dad pecked her lips before rushing outside with me following him from behind.Robert was already sitting inside the car .I and Daddy hoped on the back seat and Casio ignited the car.

Our men were in the other five cars which were running behind us.

I was leaning on the window glass imagining the possible scenario of a mafia auction where slaves and weapons were sold and bought.It was gonna a new experience for me and I was ready for it.

Soon the car entered into a fortified huge castle .I could see numberless exported expensive care lined up in hundreds of rows .

I like a fool was staring on everything that was coming across our way to inside.The magnificent chandelier hanging in the centre dome while precious stone statues were placed near every marble pillars.

There were mostly men in tuxedos or typical mafia leather jackt  talking among themselves .I clutched my Daddy's arms getting nervous of the  violet vibes from everyone.

"Calm down Aitana you have to adapt yourself to such kind of environment,it will be a part of your daily life once you replace me as the queen of my empire."Dad hushed into my ear.

"Don't worry dad I am fine."That's what I told him but my inner self

was still giddy.

Dad and uncle waved their hands to a men who must be the auctioneer .He was in his mid forties but had deep brown eyes which were enough to prove his brutality.

He approached us with a broad smile.I noticed Dad to gave him the same response.It means they were close to each other.

"Hello Mr. Grayson.It is completely a surprise for me that you are here in person."He said to Dad while shaking hands with him.

"Yes actually it's been a long that I attended an auction.In fact it's my daughter's obsession for exclusive guns that brought us here.."My Dad said looking proudly at me.

"Hello Mr. Harris Mansfield nice

to meet you."I shook my hands

with him.

"Hello Ms. Aitana,its our pleasure to have you here tonight."He spoke rubbing his fingers on the back of my palms.

I felt uncomfortable and thought to kick directly on his balls controlled myself for the sake of my Dad's reputation.

"Harris we want to sit first and then see what you have to display tonight."I smirked looking deep into his eyes.

He flinched back sensing my hidden meaning and forced a smile to us.

"Boss come and have a seat the auction is going to start in some time."He said and literally ran from there.

"Bloody son of a bitch."I muttered inaudible to Dad and uncle .

A man guided us to the front row of chairs and we took our seats and waited for the auction to begin.

But I hadn't the slightest idea that this auction would change my life on a three sixty degree angle.
