Chapter 5

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 gave Xavier a glance to find him looking at me with blank face and cold eyes. What the hell is his problem?

Making my way towards my room to change I called Ann and asked her to remind me when to get ready before lunch 'cuz I might get caught up with training.

Walking down the stairs towards our training room/gym. I've been training here since I was 10 first it was for self defense but I fell inlove with it so now i'm one of the best fighter in the family. When I made my last step I was met with new faces. Looks like the newbies have arrived for training. They were from different family associated with our organisation. Some were designated to train here while the others might be in the other training complex the org and the our company owns. Here in the room there is about 100 newbies all men and 20 of our men that will train them there is also about 10 girls including me. My ear perked up when one of the new guys shouts, "hey princess! Are you a newbie too? I think you should back out before you regret coming!" he shouts making some of the new ones laugh and the old ones shock. Turning my head to him with ice cold eyes and emotionless expression. "Ohh acting so tough now eh?" he comments again making me smirk face still emotionless. All our men looked at him shocked. One even tried to speak but I signalled him to keep silenced. Looks like i'm gonna have fun after all.

Stepping close to him the others stepped back to make way. "Why don't you shut up and climb that ring asshole" i say coldly. He then began to laugh sarcastically then looked at me. He's only a few inch taller than me. "Princess I think you should head back home and braid your dolly and not stay here to fight with a big man." I looked at him dead in the eyes then smirked "why you scared to get your ass kicked by a princess" i ask emphasising the last word. Just like i've expected he turned red in anger and stepped towards me. He was about to throw a punch but I was quick to duck and throw him a punch straight in the face knocking him out instantly.

Scanning the room all eyes were on me. While everyone was still phased I called one of our men to bring the asshole to the clinic. Once everyone has manage to snap out of their shock I moved to the ring. "Everybody listen the fuck up!!" I yell from the middle of the ring. Then I continued "i'm Cloudethe Raze Mariano! I wan't all of you to give respect to each other! Am I clear?" everybody replied with a yes ma'am. "Now everyone back to training!"

"Cloudethe!" My brother shouts from the entrance of the gym. Watching him walk towards me I notice he's with dad and the others. "I can explain" I say hoping down the ring and walked towards him. He looked at me from head to toe then speaks, "are you ok?" he asks concern write all over his voice but his face and eyes are blank. I looked at him then answered yes. "It's not like i'm the one unconscious" I told him making him look at me blankly so I just simply held both of my hands up in surrender.

I turn to my dad to find him smiling from ear to ear beside him is Uncle Damon who also have a big smile on his face. "Sorry?" I say or more like asked "promise it won't happen again" i continue with a uncertain look. It was silent when Unlce Damon spoke "What are you sorry about? You were great, you showed them that no one can underestimate a Mariano even the princess" he says with a frown. I looked at the floor then inhaled a huge amount of breath then lat it out slowly. Looking up I start to explain why, "That was the 10th guy I knocked out in the past 3 days." I say once I looked up. Then there was silence once again and uncle Damon's frown was replaced by shock.

Looking away from him my eyes fell on his son. Xavier didn't even look away when I caught him staring at me. I also stared at his emotionless face and I gotta say he's handsome more like a greek god. I then looked at him dead in the eyes. His beautiful eyes with bluish green shade which is looking at me coldly. Well two can play the game so I didn't show any emotion to him either.

Xavier's POV

I'm now staring at Dethy's emotionless face that reciprocates mine together with her cold eyes.

I gotta say tho what she did was badass and hot but that doesn't change her being a spoiled brat. I know that in there and somewhere, sooner or later i'll see that side of her.

We then watched the newbies train while Cloudethe helped their men train the new recruits. She's a good fighter and you can see it clearly in the eyes of their men which held fear when they look at her.

After some time the maid from earlier came running towards Cloudethe whispering something which she just nod at for. She then said something to one of their men before she went out the room together with the maid.

We were then escorted to the dining room by Orlando the Mariano's butler. My mom didn't come with me and my father for she and Mrs. Mariano are going out together for the day to do god knows what.

When we were sited, Cloudethe entered the toom freshly showered and now on a pair of black ripped jeans and white crop top paired with black ankle strapped heels. She dress up well like a normal brat do.
