- About the Author
Today is the dinner with the family and also my birthday. It hasn't been that interesting. All that happened was breakfast with my mom, dad, and brother. Luckily, I didn't have to go to training because if I did then I would have to deal with Alexander and his brooding self.
My mom and dad gave me some gifts this morning. They said they have more for me later, but I told them they didn't have to get me anything.
My mom gave me her vintage red dress from when she was my age. It was a summer dress, and it is stunning. I was thinking about wearing it tonight, but I don't want to get it dirty. I also don't think it's a club dress so if I do wear it, it will be at a family party, not a club party.
My dad gave me a freaking gun. It has my name on it. I don't know why he gave me a gun because I already have so many. I keep a stash of weapons in my closet.
"No, they are on their way. My mom, dad, and I came a little earlier than the others, so I think that your uncle's plane is landing soon. He came with your grandma," Jane states. I nod my head, making her know that I understand what she is saying. "Are you ready for tonight? What are you wearing?"
"A white corset top and a black mini skirt that I have. How is school going?"
"Decent," Jane shrugs her shoulders. "It's normal for a regular person, I guess. How is being a soon-to-be mafia boss?" Jane chuckles.
"Ehh, nothing that interesting," I shrug with a little smirk on my face.
"I haven't seen you forever and you say that nothing interesting happened while I was away?" Jane asks and raises an eyebrow at me.
I shake my head from side to side. "Nope. Just the regular mission crap and Killian being a constant dick."
"Where is your brother anyway? I didn't see him downstairs."
I roll my eyes.
Killian is out with his friends. He snuck out to go and hang out with them instead of staying for dinner. I am not going to tell mom or dad though because when they figure it out they will deal with him.
"He is out with his friends. He decided to ditch."
I saw Killian sneak out of his room through the window and when he saw me watching him, he said not to say anything, but I don’t really care.
There is security everywhere, so I am shocked how he figured out how to get through it all. We have guards around the estate and then cameras everywhere, but Killian manages to sneak out every time.
For the next hour or so Jane and I just talked as I got ready for the dinner.
