- About the Author
The reason I have to wake up so early every day is that I have training in the mornings and my brother has school. My mother wants Killian to go to high school and experience that kind of thing like I did. In high school I usually stuck to myself because I never really liked to engage in all of the social events that the students held at the school. They were stupid. I had a few friends in freshman year and later on I became one of the most popular girls at my school.
Girls hated me because their boyfriends liked me better. I can’t help it that I’m a flirt. It’s literally my job to do that.
One of my friends, Becca, stopped being friends with me because I slept with her boyfriend. I thought they broke up and he was attractive, so I didn’t say no. When she found out, she was furious and stopped talking to me.
I learned that she went to college to be a doctor while I stayed here to become the first-ever female mafia boss. To be more specific, the Italian Mafia Donna.
From my knowledge and my father's, there has never been a female heir to a mafia group since ever and lucky me, I’ll be the first. My father and I argued about it, and he said he wanted Killian to take over his role since he is getting older, and he is a boy, but I reasoned with him and he eventually gave in.
He still treats me as his la mia principessa.
I change into a pair of leggings and a white sports bra. After I put my shoes on, I leave my room.
As I walk through the hallway, I see all of the pictures of me and my brother as toddlers and then pictures of me and Jane. I also see my mom and father's wedding pictures which always make me smile because whenever I look at them together, I actually believe that love is real and not just something that happens in stories or movies.
I walk inside the kitchen and see my brother, Killian, and my mother, cooking.
"The monster’s awake," Killian mutters as he eats his breakfast that my mother made.
My brother Killian is fifteen, about to turn sixteen, soon. I thought over the years our relationship would get better, and we would stop arguing but that definitely isn't the case. If anything, he is more annoying than ever.
And when he brings his friends over, he sometimes acts like a jackass towards me. His friends are assholes though and always try to hit on me but Killian always makes sure to punch them in the face if they try to make a move but he sometimes forgets I know how to handle myself and that I basically kill people for a living.
