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.
ZAVIER'S POV
"Hi," Lily said to me. She was the pure definition of a goddess. She was beautiful.
"Hi, nice to meet you," I said trying to be as calm as possible. She smiled at me and that made my heart flutter, she looked even more beautiful when she smiled.
"Well since you've met Zavier, I would like you to meet Elizabeth, Zavier's mum." Lily's mum said.
My mum hugged her mum immediately after the introduction and said: "You've grown up so much, the last time I saw you were this little."
"You're even more pretty now." My mum said, making me snort. All eyes instantly turned to me.
"Don't mind him. He's a troublemaker." My mum said to Lily.
"I'm a troublemaker because I speak the truth," I said to my mum.
"Let him be." My dad said, "I'm Derrick Miller...."
"Zavier's father." Lily completed my father's sentence.
"Was it so obvious?" My dad asked Lily.
"I've read a lot about you. And Zavier looks a lot like you, but physically and facially." Lily said.
"Really?" I asked
"Yes. You look alike." Lily responded.
She is quite the talker, my mum told me that earlier before we landed. My mum also said we were best friends and that we were inseparable.
I wonder how I even managed to have a friend in this lifetime. I never even had a friend while growing up. Although I was once in a relationship I never viewed it as a friendship.
"Zavier come to the dining, we want to have lunch," My mum said interrupting my thoughts. I followed Lily who was heading to the dining. Our parents were already seated when we got there.
"Have a sit Zavier." Sharon, Lily's mum said. I sat down beside my mum.
"Hope you like pancakes?" Lily asked, "That's what we're having for lunch." Lily said with a smile.
"Have some pancakes," Sharon said to me.
"Thank you," I said to her.
"Sure. Strawberry syrup or honey?" She asked.
"No. No Strawberries I'd rather have honey." I said quickly.
"He doesn't like Strawberries, he stopped eating Strawberries after Lily's allergic reaction to them." My mum said.
"They were so cute," Sharon said.
The day went on and on as both my parents and Lily's parents did some catching up.
After dinner that evening, my dad and Grayson (Lily's dad) went to Grayson's study to talk about some very important matters.
Sharon and Mum were chatting, Lily was supposedly in the kitchen, while I was at the corner sitting down.
Since I was bored, I decided to take an evening stroll.
When we first arrived at the Addams mansion I saw a garden so I decided to take a stroll there. When I got there I noticed I wasn't alone, I had company. It was Lily, I thought she was in the kitchen. She looked beautiful under the moonlight.
I wonder why she is out here all alone without any company.
Besides I thought she was in the kitchen.
ZAVIER'S POV
I approached the figure in my presence, it was Lily.
"What are you doing out here?" I asked curiously. "Aren't you supposed to be in the kitchen?"
"Yes, I was in the kitchen." She said. "But I decided to come out here for some fresh air and well, to think." She said in reply.
"To think about what exactly?" I questioned.
"Well to think about my life and my future. She replied. "Being a mafia boss is a weighty responsibility, it's not so easy to be a leader, especially of a mafia group." She added.
"I know how you feel, it seems terrifying at first," I said to Lily. "But when you understand the logic you'll see it is much easier than you thought," I said calmly.
"I'm sorry." Lily apologised for what was unknown to me.
"For?" I asked.
"Boring you with how I feel about all this whole mafia thing," Lily responded.
"It was boring listening to your wine," I said cruelly.
"Why are you so rude?" Lily asked on the verge of tears. How wish she understood why I was being rude. "At least you could have pretended that you did care." She said with a hint of annoyance in her voice.
"It must be easy for you since you are a man but I'm not a man, I was so foolish to think you would understand."
"Both our mums are mafia bosses, and they are good at what they do," I said to Lily.
"Please spare me the fake encouragement." She said. "And for your information, they both have a man beside them, but I'm all alone in this journey," Lily said and left in a fury. She didn't know that very soon she would have a man beside her to support her.
As she walked away, because of her rage she slipped and twisted her ankle.
I hurried over to where she was.
"Are you okay?" I asked, but she just groaned.
I was about to pick up when she pushed me and said:
"Don't you dare touch me?." She tried standing up by herself but instead made the pain in her ankle worse, making her groan.
I picked her up and walked towards the mansion. She was so stubborn she kept resisting and kept yelling Putt me down."
LILY'S POV.
As Zavier into the mansion with me in his arms, we both heard gasps, I immediately knew it was both our mum's.
"What happened?" Elizabeth asked feeling much concerned.
"Well, strong head here sprang her ankle," Zavier said.
"Hope it's not so serious?" My mum asked.
"No, it's no," I replied to my mum then faced Zavier.
"Who are you calling strongheaded?" I asked Zavier.
"This is all your fault Mr know," I said to Zavier.
"Without me, you would have gotten to this mansion, I carried you here and you can't show a little bit of appreciation." Zavier snapped at me, but I wasn't backing down now, so I said: "I didn't ask for you to carry me, you did it on your own."
He dropped me down harshly.
"Ouch, be careful," I warned.
"What's all the fuss all about?" I heard my dad say.
"Nothing," I yelled in response.
"No it's not nothing, Ms princess here twisted her ankle," Zavier said to my father.
"What happened?" Derrick asked.
"It's nothing," I said with a smile. "Thank you all for caring," I added.
"Lily." My dad called me.
"Yes, Dad," I responded.
"Go freshen up and come back downstairs we have important things to discuss." My dad said.
As I was about to stand up, I couldn't help but wince in pain.
"Zavier dear, please can you help Lily up to her room." My mum requested while he nodded yes to her request. I rolled my eyes and allowed myself to be swayed by a pretty face.
"I'll send Brigget over to check on your ankle. Okay?" My mom said.
"Okay," I responded.
