Cloudethe's POV
My personal maid Ann returned with snacks and drinks five minutes ago. So now i'm once again watching my movie while eating some chips.
Since we sat in the living room I noticed Xavier stealing glances towards me but since then his face was also stone cold and blank. Making it hard to read his emotions or whats running in his mind. I was deep in my thoughts that I didn't notice the movie already ended.O turned my head towards my brother to find him focused on his phone same does to Xavier whose beside me. I then turned to my father's direction to find him busy talking to uncle Damon. Standing I approach the elders, "hmm excuse me? Dad can I go now?" I ask politely with a smile. "Sure darling but wherever your going be back for lunch. We have something to talk about" he answers me seriously making me nod with a frown attached on my face.Walking out the room I gave Xavier a glance to find him looking at me with blank face and cold eyes. What the hell is his problem?Making my way towards my room to change I called Ann and asked her to remind me when to get ready before lunch 'cuz I might get caught up with training.
Walking down the stairs towards our training room/gym. I've been training here since I was 10 first it was for self defense but I fell inlove with it so now i'm one of the best fighter in the family. When I made my last step I was met with new faces. Looks like the newbies have arrived for training. They were from different family associated with our organisation. Some were designated to train here while the others might be in the other training complex the org and the our company owns. Here in the room there is about 100 newbies all men and 20 of our men that will train them there is also about 10 girls including me. My ear perked up when one of the new guys shouts, "hey princess! Are you a newbie too? I think you should back out before you regret coming!" he shouts making some of the new ones laugh and the old ones shock. Turning my head to him with ice cold eyes and emotionless expression. "Ohh acting so tough now eh?" he comments again making me smirk face still emotionless. All our men looked at him shocked. One even tried to speak but I signalled him to keep silenced. Looks like i'm gonna have fun after all.Stepping close to him the others stepped back to make way. "Why don't you shut up and climb that ring asshole" i say coldly. He then began to laugh sarcastically then looked at me. He's only a few inch taller than me. "Princess I think you should head back home and braid your dolly and not stay here to fight with a big man." I looked at him dead in the eyes then smirked "why you scared to get your ass kicked by a princess" i ask emphasising the last word. Just like i've expected he turned red in anger and stepped towards me. He was about to throw a punch but I was quick to duck and throw him a punch straight in the face knocking him out instantly.
Scanning the room all eyes were on me. While everyone was still phased I called one of our men to bring the asshole to the clinic. Once everyone has manage to snap out of their shock I moved to the ring. "Everybody listen the fuck up!!" I yell from the middle of the ring. Then I continued "i'm Cloudethe Raze Mariano! I wan't all of you to give respect to each other! Am I clear?" everybody replied with a yes ma'am. "Now everyone back to training!""Cloudethe!" My brother shouts from the entrance of the gym. Watching him walk towards me I notice he's with dad and the others. "I can explain" I say hoping down the ring and walked towards him. He looked at me from head to toe then speaks, "are you ok?" he asks concern write all over his voice but his face and eyes are blank. I looked at him then answered yes. "It's not like i'm the one unconscious" I told him making him look at me blankly so I just simply held both of my hands up in surrender.
I turn to my dad to find him smiling from ear to ear beside him is Uncle Damon who also have a big smile on his face. "Sorry?" I say or more like asked "promise it won't happen again" i continue with a uncertain look. It was silent when Unlce Damon spoke "What are you sorry about? You were great, you showed them that no one can underestimate a Mariano even the princess" he says with a frown. I looked at the floor then inhaled a huge amount of breath then lat it out slowly. Looking up I start to explain why, "That was the 10th guy I knocked out in the past 3 days." I say once I looked up. Then there was silence once again and uncle Damon's frown was replaced by shock.Looking away from him my eyes fell on his son. Xavier didn't even look away when I caught him staring at me. I also stared at his emotionless face and I gotta say he's handsome more like a greek god. I then looked at him dead in the eyes. His beautiful eyes with bluish green shade which is looking at me coldly. Well two can play the game so I didn't show any emotion to him either.
Xavier's POV
I'm now staring at Dethy's emotionless face that reciprocates mine together with her cold eyes.
I gotta say tho what she did was badass and hot but that doesn't change her being a spoiled brat. I know that in there and somewhere, sooner or later i'll see that side of her.We then watched the newbies train while Cloudethe helped their men train the new recruits. She's a good fighter and you can see it clearly in the eyes of their men which held fear when they look at her.After some time the maid from earlier came running towards Cloudethe whispering something which she just nod at for. She then said something to one of their men before she went out the room together with the maid.
We were then escorted to the dining room by Orlando the Mariano's butler. My mom didn't come with me and my father for she and Mrs. Mariano are going out together for the day to do god knows what.When we were sited, Cloudethe entered the toom freshly showered and now on a pair of black ripped jeans and white crop top paired with black ankle strapped heels. She dress up well like a normal brat do.
Cloudethe's POV After lunch we headed to my dad's study to talk about something important but what confused me is that the Alexanders are with us and so is my brother. As we entered my fathers study, my dad sat in his chair behind his mahogany table. Uncle Damon sat on the chair in front of the table on the left side while I sat on the chair placed on the right. On the other hand my brother stood behind me while Xavier doing the same just beside his father's chair.It was silent for a minute or so making me a little nervous in the inside. All eyes was then focused on my dad when he spoke, "we would like to talk to you guys about something important." He starts making me more confused. "It it a bad news or a good news?" I decide to ask. My dad let out a sigh, "for me and your uncle it is a good one" he states. "But we don't know if it's a good one for you guys...speciall
Cloudethe's POVAfter changing in a long sleeved dress that is fitted til my waist and loosed all the way down above my knee. I strap my heels and made my way out the room. Walking down the stairs I can hear my dad's voice in the living room so I made my way there. Entering the room all four men where sitting talking about god knows what. By hearing the clicking of my heels all four pairs of eyes turn to me. But my eyes looked at a certain pair of bluish green eyes.Xavier's POVGreat my mother called and ask me take Cloudethe to where they are. While waiting for her I sat with everyone else in the mansion's living room. From time to time the elders would ask me or Clyde about something. We were talking about a business client when we heard a clicking of heels. All of us turned to the room's entrance to see Cloudethe in a lon
Cloudethe's POVIt was already 9 when me and my mom arrived home. After dinner my mom made me ride back with Xavier again. Like seriously what is their problem? They really want us to "get to know and get comfortable with one another" like it's clear he doesn't like me and I don't like him. So long story short I was stuck with him on the ride home.Taking my phone before sitting in my bed. I unlocked the screen and went through my social media. When something or should I say someone with cold pair of eyes crossed my mind. Searching his name on instagram I found his account within minutes.Username: Xavier.AAFollowers:10.9MFollowing: 6Post: 597Wow he's famous. Wondering why he only follows 6 people. I clicked his following list and checked who t
Xavier's POVShe's such a brat. I know she is good at fighting but this one is dangerous for her. How will we fight that gang when we also need to keep an eye on her. Tsk.Reaching the warehouse gunshots after gunshots can be heard. Stepping out the van we all made our different ways and killed anyone who tried to block our way. My side was clear so I turned to see Cloudethe holding two guns killing all the men coming her way. This brat can be a badass from time to time. After she cleared her side our eyes met. Looking at her with cold eyes with a blank expression she raised her eyes at me. She then made her way in the warehouse where gunshots can still be heard. I followed after her and we were met with three members of the gang. The were about to shoot us when all of their guns were out of bullet. Smirking I shove my gun in my back th
loudethe's POVIt's been a month since one of our warehouse was attacked and also had been a month since I last saw that asshole. Which was a good one month. All my life I was never underestimated by anyone specially by a guy. He doesn't even stop calling me a brat. Like I know i'm spoiled but i'm not a fucking brat. Hell one of the things I hate is people who acts like a brat, specially those who really are brats.Walking down the stairs I headed towards the kitchen. "Morning Sally" I greet our chef. She turned to me and smile, "morning miss" she greets playfully earning a playful glare from me. Taking a carton of my chocolate milk, I poured myself a glass and chug half of it down. "What are you making for lunch?" I ask turning back to Sally. "Your father informed me that you guys are having lunch at the Alexanders." she informs me mak
Xavier's POV I was shooting our enemies when I felt a bullet flying inches away from my face. I then turned to where it came from with wide eyes then to where the bullet landed with a thud following it. Looking down at a dead man's body I turn back again to Cloudethe who has a blank look on her face. We stared at each other for a minute until Bob informed me that only 4 of our men were injured and everything is clear that he already called someone to clean up the mess.We are now sitting inside the car while my men cleans up the mess on the road. Good thing I always fly at night so there are no car passing by the road. I turn to my left to see Cloudethe reassembling her gun. She might have felt my gaze on her so she turn to me with cold eyes. She raised an eyebrow at me, "what are you looking at?" she asks sassily. "Why did you kill the guy behind me?" I asked but soon regrets it. Wh
Cloudethe's POVI woke up as the sun shines from the window that I forgot to close last night. Groaning I stood up and strode towards the bathroom. Looking at myself through the mirror, my hair is a mess, and my eyes are half open. Geez I stayed up late last night for my brother called and told me about a new contract deal he wants me to double check for his secretary is on a day off. Yup he asks me to be his secretary when his secretary is on leave or whatever. Turning on the faucet I washed my face and brushed my teeth. Drying my face I let my hair free from it's messy bun and started to untangle and brush my hair. Letting my hair down I made my way to the kitchen with my phone in hand.Unlocking my phone while walking down the hall to the kitchen I ran into a hard wall knocking my phone out my hand. "Watch where your going brat" the
Cloudethe's POVAs we exit the house we are met by a limo waiting for us and a black car behind which might be used by the guards that will be with us. "Is the limo a must?" I ask. He looked at me confusedly, "why? Don't you want it?" I looked at him then sigh. He must be thinking that i'm a spoilt brat and not riding a limo will be the death of me. "I actually prefer taking the taxi. Limousines attracts too much attention" I say truthfully. "You do know that even if you exit a taxi you will get attentions considering your a model and your family owns the top company in New York. So basically your face is all around the news and magazines" he state a matter of factly. Why does he have to mention me being a model..wait how did he.."how did you know i'm a model?" I ask. "My mom has all the magazines that your face is included and your photos is everywhere in social media" he says casually.
