Today marked the three month anniversary from the date when I slowly started to revealed myself to my company. Although I had been running my company for over four years now, none of my employees- apart from my secretory Joseph, the council and my team of bodyguards knew who I was. At first I did not know why my parents would keep me hidden, and it was written in their will that my identity was to be revealed to the public at my eighteenth birthday. But looking back these couple of months, I knew why they did that. It was utterly stupid on my behalf to start showing my face to my employees from my seventeenth birthday. I had taken into account of the advice from my council as these were my most trustworthy men - some of whom are at least thrice my age. I did not expect it to lead to this problem that I was currently facing. However that did not deter my respect for them in any shape or form. They were trusted by my parents, and hence myself. I sighed as I looked out from the windo
Once I walked out of the meeting, I immediately made my way to my private elevator with Joseph on one side and Robert on the other. Joseph pressed the ground floor button and the elevator started to descend. I glanced down to my watch on my left hand and find that it's approximately eleven am in the morning. When I came in for the meeting earlier not many people were here because my business hours started at nine am for all employees. Only the essential people started earlier than usual. Now I knew it would be full of workers. Once the elevator door opened, I walked out my heels clicking the smooth marble floor capturing the attention of my employees. Robert walked a step behind me to my right and Jason was my left next to me. I noticed the whispers starting in Italian as people began to notice me. "Oh my, It's Miss Kingston!". "That's Miss Kingston?! She's so young?". "What is she doing at headquarters?". "She's beautiful". I paid no attention to their comments, as the w
If someone had told me three months ago that I would have to leave London for my safety - I would have laughed. I was running away like a coward with my tail between my legs, instead of solving my problems. I didn't what was more insulting, the fact that I was the richest person in the world and couldn't solve a dispute. Or the fact that I was going to be attending High school in America when I have already graduated High school and have a Business and Computer science PhD. Looking at the preppy building in front of me, I could only hope that this will be enough to keep me safe until the threat subsided. I looked towards my left where Robert was driving toward the front entrance of the prestigious Lakeview Academy- my home for the next nine months. I sighed as I faced the front again taking into the vast fields that spanned the property, a football game that was in progress and the crowd going wild. "I don't understand why I have to attend High school when I have already learnt e
Looking down at my uniform, I could only be glad that there were no restrictions in the choice of our footwear. I was not prepared to wear heels on a daily basis, and would be much more comfortable in my boots. As long as they fit with the school code, it was acceptable. This was the only highlight of my morning, as I woke up late and proceeded to stump my pinkie toe on the bathroom door whilst trying to hurry. "Let's go, you have your first lesson with me", I turned my head towards Lena who was waiting for me to finish my breakfast. "What do we have first?", How this girl knew my schedule was beyond me, but then I saw her waving my schedule paper in front of my face. "AP Calculus". She smiled with twinkling eyes. She must be a fucking psychopath. Who liked calculus? We made our way toward the first period, Lena had her arm looped around mine and Tyler with his arm around my shoulder. Max and Harper separated from us in the opposite direction toward their first lessons after co
When I joined this elite school two days ago, my plan was to stay low under radar, until Robert found out who was threatening me so we can deal with the problem. Now looking at my business class which has all of my group and the Royal elites, I could only smell disaster. "Settle down children, today we have a new student". I waited by his desk as the class quietens down and rests their eyes on me. "Introduce yourself child", Mr Smith says softly. He was in his late thirty to early forties and by the permanent laughter lines on his face, anyone could tell he was a happy soul. I turn to address the class in front of me and speak monotonously. "Avalon Gracia" "Uh- do you want to add to that?", Mr Smith asked hesitantly. "I'm seventeen". He sighs. There were different expressions that rose through the class and one kid opened his mouth. "I just googled 'sexy' and a picture of you came up", he winks at me with a smirk whilst his friends whoop in the background. I wait for the
It was Friday today and that meant the weekend was right around the corner. I had already made plans to visit Levi at the new house that I had bought for him and Robert to stay in. I hoped that he liked his new school that he was attending. I was sorting out through my locker looking for my Chemistry books before I headed off to my next lesson. The halls were packed and teenagers were pushing each other to get to their next classes on time. I finally find my books and hold them with one hand whilst trying to close my locker door with the other. Someone from behind closes it for me. I rotate on the balls of my feet to find a guy standing there. He was a 6'0 redhead with green eyes. "Hey" "Hi", I greet him. "My name is James Rafael", I nod once. He looks around awkwardly before finding my eyes again. "So uhh, I was wondering if you could attend my party tonight?" "You want me to attend your party?", I was quite surprised to say the least. He only just met me and wanted me to
I was laying across Aspens bed in her room while trying to get at least some work done before the girls helped me get ready for the party. According to them my outfit that I had chosen was unacceptable. I was wearing a hoodie with skinny ripped jeans- I wanted to be comfortable. It wasn't like I didn't know what was to be expected at a Highschool party, I just wasn't planning on staying for long. A quick drop in, show my face and come right back out. But clearly that wasn't going to happen. They were running around Aspen's room like they were on fire, pulling at each other's hair, curling it, wearing make-up etc. There was at least three hours to go before we had to leave at nine pm. "What dress are you wearing?", I looked up from my phone to find Harper staring down at me in concentration. "Uhhh" "You haven't chosen one yet?" I gave her a sheepish smile. She lunges for my arm before shoving me into the closet where Aspen's dresses were. "Asp, Ava's going to borrow one of yo
When I woke up the next day with a headache, the first thing that I noticed was that I was not in my room. I looked around slowly as I took in the features of the room. It was filled with white dark greys, and black. The king sized bed which I was currently sleeping on- thankfully alone- was in the center of the room. There was two doors, one for the en-suite and the other for the walk in closet. The more I took in the structure and design of the room, I realised that I was back at the Academy. This must be someone else's room.I got out of the bed and realised that I was wearing someone else's clothes. Just what happened last night? There was a glass of water with two aspirins on the bedside table. I took them and opened the bedroom door, as I followed the music which lead me to the kitchen. This person was really clean I had noticed - the living room was spotless. Narrowing my eyes at the bright sunlight that was coming from the windows, I entered the kitchen to find a dancing Eli
