Dangerous Love

Chapter 1- Greges Island

When my parents decided for us to move to a small town well more of an island off the coast of Maine I thought it would be a boring place with nothing and no gossip to enjoy. Boy was I wrong. 

We lived in Las Vegas a city known for casinos. My father owned some of the big casinos and clubs and some hotels. Then we moved to a small island or what I thought was going to be a small island. But it is like its own city except for everyone who lives here knows about the gangs that rule over them. 

I left the place I was raised in but little did I know that I would come to love this island of gangs, drugs, and violence. 

3 months before moving:

"Mom, Dad, I'm home from the mall. I think that I got some cool clothes for the party next week," I tell my parents after getting out of the elevator. I stop and drop my bags on the floor. My parents are sitting on the couch with serious expressions. "What happened," I ask concerned. 

"Ladybug me and your mother has decided to move," my father tells me. "We are not leaving for any serious reason but I am opening some more casinos, hotels, and clubs somewhere else." 

"Okay, but why are you telling me this now when after this summer it is my senior year?" I ask. 

"Because my little bug we need to get settled in our new house. I and your father are leaving in a month to go to this new house and we want you to stay here to finish your school year and of course go on that tour of Europe with your friends from school," my mother tells me. I walk over to the couch and plop down on a chair across from the couch. 

"Where are we going?" I ask.

"We will be leaving here and going to an island off of the eastern coast of main. The island is named Greges," my dad tells me. An island we are moving to an island I have never heard of and I basically am a geography nerd. 

"Is that Latin," I ask.

"Yes, do you know what it means?" My father asks worriedly. 

"No, I do not know Latin. I know German, French, Spanish, Italian, Greek, Chinese, and Russian but no Latin," I say annoyed. He was the one who wanted me to learn any language I wanted. He usually gives me a list of languages every two years and tells me to pick a language I want to learn and study for those two years. I find this very annoying but the one Language that was never on the list was Latin. 

"This school year you need to learn it," he tells me. 

"But it has not been two years yet I am supposed to continue working on Arabic," I protest. 

"You will do both but ladybug while we are in Maine we need you to stay with Andrew he will be your guardian while we are in Maine and he will be your bodyguard you will take him everywhere you go understand?" He demands. I look over at Andrew who is my dad's bodyguard. 

"Yes, I will," I tell my father. 

"Good we must be going we have a dinner party to attend," my father says before standing up and offering his hand to my mother. She takes and smiles at me before going to the elevator. I watch as it closes and leaving me with Andrew Aka the hulk. 

3 months later and current day:

I finish packing and head to the kitchen where Andrew my bodyguard is sitting with a cup of tea and a magazine that says 'Banden und Küken' aka Gangs and Chicks.  Found it in Germany at a bar and gave it to him as a gift. 

"Good morning Andy Bandy," I greet. Andy just rolls his eyes and grunts at me. He hates my nickname for him but I think it suits him. He is all muscles and he is basically a mute but sometimes he will talk.
