"What do you mean, you just didn't want to be in school anymore?" My brother yelled at me after a couple minutes of us having a staring contest.

My brother and I were extremely stubborn, although neither one of us would ever admit it out loud. He looked like an exact replica of our dad from his jet black hair to the medium amount of stubble along his jawline to the tip of his chin. He also have thick eyebrows which I always envied, they were currently raised in anger while his jaw clenched in frustration. The only thing he inherited from his mother was her teal colored eyes and fair skin.

"I just didn't want to be there anymore," I shrugged my shoulders in a nonchalant way. "You never went to college why do I have to?"

"I chose to sacrifice the future I could have had so you can a better life than I ever will!" He yelled in response to my question.

"I didn't ask you to take over dad's organization!"

"Oh por favor yo sabía, you didn't want this life," His anger was starting to rise. "Dad wanted one of us to take over. I saw the look in your eyes when he called us into his officina."

I swallowed the lump in my throat, he probably thought I was being an ungrateful brat. I couldn't tell him the truth he would flip out and I don't want to be responsible for someone's death. I couldn't handle it, maybe that made me weak and I was ok with that. Sebastian was right I didn't want this life, this life would only trap me into a circle full of darkness.

"I have so much going on right now," He spoke again when he realized I wasn't going to say anything in return. He stood up and went to the window and glazed at the activity that was going on. "This was not the best time for you to come home."

"Lo siento para being a burden." I scoffed.

"Sabes that's not what I meant," He replied. His voice was ice cold at this point, he turned towards me with a deadpanned expression. "I know there is something you're hiding from me, but fortunately for you I have more pressing matters to attend to."

I remained deathly still as a knock on the door took us out of the standoff we were having. I turned my back on him and went into my walk in closet for some shoes. After grabbing a pair of black and white high tops, I headed back into my room. One of my brother goons was posted outside my door.

"Boss assigned me to your detail." The goon spoke. I wasn't quite sure who he was he looked vaguely familiar but I can't remember if I have ever seen him before.

"You act like I'm the president's daughter." I replied as I rolled my eyes at him.

"Well you are the president's sister." He retorted.

"Yeah but not the President's Daughter."

"The President of the United States?" He questioned with scrunched up eyebrows.

"Sí, pero we're getting off topic," I answered in reply to his question. "I don't need a bodyguard."

"Boss said to ignore your pleas about needing a bodyguard."

"He's so annoying."

"You what?" Sawyer yelled as she grabbed a hold of my arms in shock at the news I just shared with her. Currently we were in Starbucks catching up with one another and her yells caused everyone to look at us even my nosy bodyguard. Preston—also—known as my brother goon, agreed to seat a couple tables away from us.

"Shh," I replied in a whisper as I shot everyone a small smile. "Speak a little louder why don't you." I continued once everyone looked away.

Sawyer's wide blue eyes, held nothing but utter shock in them. She couldn't believe I had a one night stand with a random guy. Quite frankly I couldn't believe I had a one night stand with a stranger as well, I have always been the relationship type of girl.

"What happened to Jensen—Reign tell me you didn't cheat on him?"

"No we broke up a couple weeks ago," I shot back. "Anyway back to Axel."

"His name is Axel? I feel like he is outstandingly beautiful."

"He is so attractive," I said. "Sawyer if you saw him you would want to jump his bones as well."

"As tempting as that sound I'm good in the relationship I'm in right now," She readjusted her hat which was on backwards. "Tell me more though."

"He has complete sleeves on his arms, which only doubles his attractiveness."

"Did you get his number?"

"Unfortunately no," I went into my pocket to retrieve my phone only to discover it's not there. "Crap."

"What's wrong?"

"I left it at Axel's house."

"How did you manage to leave your phone at his house?" She questioned. "You know what—nevermind. You're always forgetting things.

"Should we call him?" I questioned.

She gave me deadpanned look. "How are we going to call him, you didn't even get his number?"

"You know what I meant," I replied in accusation. "I mean we'll call my phone and see if we could swing pass his house to pick it up."

"I guess yeah, let's go into the bathroom where it is quieter," As soon as Sawyer and I stood up Preston stood and followed us until we reached the bathroom door. "You want to come in with us?"

"I don't think boss would appreciate that."

Once we were in the bathroom, Sawyer began typing in my phone number. Her straight blonde hair was fallinging down her back, she was curvy. Her body was shaped in an hourglass figure. She use to be bigger than most girls until she started exercising. She has never been sensitive when it came to her weight, I truly admired her for it.

"Hello?" His deep voice flooded through the speaker like an ocean wave connecting with sand. For some reason my heart jolted as Sawyer turned up the speaker volume so we could hear him clearly.

"Axel?" She replied.

"Man, What's up with that fruit cake case you got on your phone?" Someone in the background yelled.

"It's not even m-."

"I knew it! Didn't I call it man. Ax loves d—," A loud noise was made followed by the guy yelling in pain. "I was just telling the truth no one ever seen you getting any pus pus."

They started yelling at each other in a foreign language causing Sawyer and I to look at one another in confusion. Whatever they were saying to each other seemed intense because a lot more things started crashing in the background.

"Man let go," The guy who claimed Axel was a fruit cake exclaimed. "I'm going to tell on you."

"What are you five?" Axel replied.

"If I need to be to get you to let me go then that's what I will be."

"You're so immature."

"Yeah well at least I get pus—."

"Damn man we cracked her phone." Axel yelled over his friend.

"You cracked my phone?" I finally spoke.

"Reign?" He replied.

"Reign who is this Reign person?" The friend spoke out of turn again.

"Yes it's Reign, I need my cracked phone."

"Manny, What time is it?" Axel yelled out to his friend.

"Almost four, why?"

"Did you want to drop by my place to come pick it up?" He asked me

"Uh yeah." We hung up after a mutual bye.

"What's wrong?" Sawyer asked.

"We're going to have to ditch the bodyguard."

—

Sawyer and I were outside of Axel's apartment, she was eager to meet the guy that introduced me to a one night stand. I on the other hand was completely nervous, How was I supposed to act? Do I act normal? Hell, What is normal? What the hell am I doing? I could tell Sawyer was getting frustrated. We were coming up on a total of twenty three minutes, because I refuse to get out of the car.

"What's the gameplan?" Sawyer asked.

"We go in?" I questioned.

"Alright." She said getting out the car clearly fed up with my stalling.

"Wait," I yelled at her as she crossed the street to get to Axel apartment. I got out after her and she beeped the car doors. "Sawyer."

"Which apartment is it?"

"Apartment 2B."

"You're knocking on the door." She replied as we headed up the stairs to level two.

"Like hell I am."

"This guy really has you acting different," She replied as we stood in front of his door. "You're acting girly. I'm not sure if I like it."

       I mocked her instead of replying. Of course with my luck that's when the door swings open. A tall guy with fair skin and charcoal black hair came into our presence. His eyes were a mix between sea green and the Caribbean sea. He was leaning up against the door way with an amused expression.

"I guess I'm not the only immature one."
