Chapter 1 GETTING READY

LILY'S POV

I woke up to a loud sound....my mother's voice.

"Lily, Lily...come on wake up...you need to get ready. We are hosting important guests today."

"Who?" I asked with a sleepy voice. "Can I pass? I'm not in the mood to host anyone today." I said a little bit soar all over.

"No." My mum said firmly. "You can't pass, these guests are a big part of your life. And what we have to discuss concerns you a lot. " They are important people so you need to look your best ." She said and left my room.

It was already 6:30 am

so I set my alarm to 7:00 am and went back to bed.

After half an hour other than my usual routine I woke up.

I headed to the bathroom and settled for a warm bubble bath. After my splendid bath, I started my daily routine. I started by picking out my outfit for the day. It was a spaghetti straped yellow summer dress with a sunflower design.

Then I fixed my hair into a messy bun. After that I proceeded to my makeup, it was simple: powder, mascara, eyeliner, and lip gloss.

After getting ready for the day I went downstairs to have breakfast. My parents were waiting for me when I got to the dining.

"Good morning Dad." I greeted my dad.

"Good morning my angel, how was your night?" My dad asked.

"It was great,", I responded.

"You look stunning." He added."Sit let's have breakfast." My mum added as she pulled out a chair beside her signalling me to sit"Sit let's have breakfast." My mum added as she pulled out a chair beside her signalling me to sit.

"Sit let's have breakfast." My mum added as she pulled out a chair beside her signalling me to sit.

"So who are the important guests we have to host?" I asked.

"I would love to know who they are," I said making my parents smile slightly.

This was getting creepy. My life was already so creepy due to the fact my parents were mafia bosses and in a few months, I will become the new leader, in other words, the new boss of the mafia group.

"The Miller family are our guests." My dad answered the question I'd long been asking.

"Who are they?" I asked expectantly. "Well, the Millers and the Addams' have been intimate friends for a quite long time now." My dad replied.

"The family you visit in France every two years?" I asked.

"Yes." My dad answered. I never travelled with my parents when they went to France so I don't know the Millers

"Why are they coming back all of a sudden?" I asked curiously.

"For business." He said briefly.

"They have a son, 'Zavier'. He's older than you two years." My mum said while butting into the conversation. "You both were childhood sweethearts." My mum said.

"You were five and he was seven when you first met. The both of you instantly clicked and became best friends. After five months they moved to France." My mum added.

"You were so sad about Zaviers departure that you locked yourself up in your room and refused to come out." My dad said.

"Zavier is now the CEO of Miller's Designs. He's the new boss of the Irish mob." My dad added.

After breakfast, my parents left for the airport to receive the Miller's while I stayed home and worked on some unfinished projects.

"We're here." mum texted.

"So quick?" I questioned

"Yes, have you forgotten the airport is a ten-minute drive from home?" My mum replied almost immediately.

"Don't forget to be nice, okay?" My mum said.

"Okay, mum," I replied.

I looked out the window and saw my parent's car and behind it was a Lamborghini and other black cars.

Some belonged to my parents, but there were some I couldn't recognise, so I immediately knew they belonged to the Millers. My parents came out of their car while a man and a woman came out from a Benz. On the other hand, a tall, handsome man came out from the Lamborghini. I hurried downstairs to receive our guests.

As the front door opened, the Miller's and my parents stepped in. Behind them was a very fine creation. He was the tall and handsome man who came out of the Lamborghini. He looked so manly He wore a black suit and a black turtle neck. He had pitch hair and blue eyes, which was so captivating.I was hypnotised by his beauty and couldn't speak. I didn't realise when I walked up to him.

"Lily, I see you've met Zavier."My dad said.

"Hello," I mumbled, feeling a little bit embarrassed.
