“Will you actually try to punch me for once?” I huffed in annoyance.
This is becoming unbearably annoying now!
“I don’t wanna die, Mia!” Tony raised his hands up in surrender and I punched him in the face.
He’s not even defending himself at this point!
What is even the point of waking up so early in the morning then?!
Ugh!
“Then fight, you idiot!” I commanded.
“Archer would kill me if you get hurt.” He whispered.
This is getting super annoying!
“So Archer left without you?” Lucas whispered in my ear.Ugh!“Shh!” I shushed him in frustration as I snatched the bowl of popcorn from him without even moving my eyes away from the screen.“Shh!” Thea shushed me, snatching the bowl of popcorn from my hands, without even turning to look at me.What?!“Shh!” I shushed her, snatching the bowl of popcorn back.“Shh!” She shushed loudly, snatching the bowl of popcorn from me again.“Okay, I’m bored!” Lucas groaned.
“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.
