Alexander POV

Life for me is a cycle of my daily task.
I am not just Alexander but I am the second son of the lightwoods, perfect son of my mom, pride of my dad, straight-A student, a good fucking boy.

That's what was expected of me. I am the younger son but since Edward has proven to be a shame and disgrace to the family it is upon me to be the perfect Golden boy my family needs.

I wake up with a hangover, well I usually am hungover but have mastered that skill to hide it in public, I can be high on drugs and still sit through a board meeting without swaying.

I step into the shower remembering last night I was at a meeting then got home, got drugged up, and crashed.

I change into my clothes for the day take my bag I know my homework is already done without me opening my bag because when you are a lightwood you don't do shit, your shit gets done.

I put my watch on.

Take my mobile from the side table, fully charged because I have a built-in charger on my side table. It's fancy.

On my way to the dining room, I pass Edward's room.
The door of his room is slightly ajar and heavy metal music is pouring out which I am sure, is a big offense in the lightwood mansion.

But that the thing about Edward he doesn't give a fuck about what others may find offensive.

He just does what he wants, not bothering to see what damage his actions cause in other people's life.

He is like a storm, he destroys things everywhere he goes because that's his fucking nature.

I stop because no matter what I can,t fucking stop myself, I peek inside, he is shirtless and doing push-ups. I stop for a second, my jaw clench, and then make my way downstairs to have breakfast.

My dad is sitting in the head chair and Mom is on his left side. We all take breakfast together even Edward.

Mom wants us to start the day together as a family. And we all indulge her. She is like a queen proud and spoiled.

I go and take my seat on the right side. "Good morning"

Dad looks up from the iPad and Mom smiles at me.

"Morning, sunshine. Did you sleep well" mom asks in her sweet voice?

I hate the word sunshine but I would be damn to tell her how much the word is dangerous for my reputation.

Mom is the only thing pure and sane in my life. My save heaven. I would never admit it out loud but I still need her like a baby.

"Good " I replied in one word because I was not sober enough this morning to entertain her.

"Today girl of one of my employees is joining your school and I want you to help her in school," dad said not looking up from his iPad.

Dad doesn't make this kind of request because people blow sugar up lightwood's ass not the other way around.

We own this town and I mean literally own this shit town where people have too much time, too much money, and too much everything.

"Ok, who is she?" I don't give a fuck about anyone but hey I am the good boy so I will do as my dad asked me to do like a well-trained dog.

Dad looks up from his iPad and meets my gaze. " Yesterday we met her mother" dad said pointedly.

Oh yeah, one of our new employees at the firm, clary. I met her yesterday, a sweet lady with a big ass.

She asked me to look after her daughter. Well, I am the wrong person to ask lady.

Dad keeps looking at me to show that he knows about my little drug parties in my room.

Take one asshole to recognize one.

"Oh yeah, I remember don't worry I will take care of it. What's her name again?"

"Skye" dad start working on his iPad again.

"Ok enough about work, so what do want for your birthday sunshine," Mom asked glowing with excitement.

On my birthday?. Oh, yeah I am turning nineteen.
