I felt something slightly lick my cheek, I looked down only to see Lola trying to get my attention, she was very jumpy, probably stretching out a bit considering she spent all that time on the plane being cooped up inside her bag. I'm surprised she hasn't fallen asleep yet.

I gave her some sweet head scratches which made her tail wag side to side. I started to unpack some of my stuff and got Lola to help me, she was being a very good girl, we had made a systematic plan that was going to make sure things were where they belonged. And Lola was just dragging some clothes into different piles, I was making sure to colour code making sure things like sweaters, jumpers and hoodies were put into drawers. Dresses were going into closets, I had put shoes of the same brand into the same location, but kept comfortable shoes such as trainers in one place and heels in another.

I decided that I would shower now, and freshen up before dinner since it had been quite some time, deciding to go back to it later, I took a towel and undressed, I stepped into the shower, washing off all jet lag and stress from the past 48hours of me. I stepped out of the shower with a fluffy white towel wrapped around me. I felt a lot more relaxed right now, after a nice steamy shower, it was just what I needed.

I wore an outfit that consisted of a white cardigan with some red cherries all of it with a blue demon skirt and continued with my white airforce 1's. For my hair, I simply did a low ponytail and let two strings of hair out at the front. I looked cute.

*Roof Roof* I heard, I looked down to see Lola look up at me with her tongue out. She was probably hungry, I bent down to pick her up, which to she delightedly responded by barking. "Come on baby, let's go see what Zaiden's up to," I said to her. Now heading out of my room and slightly shut the door behind me, making my way through the hallway, to Zaiden's room which was diagonal across mine.

I knocked on the door twice, swaying Lola side to side considering how impatient she was getting trying to move around in my arms. Zaiden's opened the door.

"Hey, you've unpacked?" asked Zoe, she could see that he had just stepped out of the shower since he was in more comfortable clothes and had water dripping down his hair and a towel on his neck. "Yea, even showered" he replied "you?" Zaiden continued. "I unpacked, organised some stuff." I nodded at him.

"I wanted to let you know that later on, I need to check out some stuff that Camilla asked me to do." With no more explanation, I understood what he meant by that, even though he is technically my bodyguard he still worked under the Knox name meaning he also worked for my sister. And well my sister had a lot of business some legal and other somewhat shady

"Well, I'm gonna go downstairs and see if dinner is ready" I replied with a nod and Lola just barked in return, I decided to leave things at that not wanting to know anymore. Turning around I started making my way through the hallways only to see a staircase, to which I started descending.

The food was still being made, I could smell it from here and Lola could too she enjoyed its nice aroma coming from the food, since she was panting and her tongue was sticking out, I could see some saliva peaking from the side of her tongue. I just lowly chuckled giving her some head scratches, I made my way to what I was guessing was the living room, looking around the house still quite confused considering I hadn't received a house tour yet.

I found Alexandra on her phone typing away looking quite focused on what she was doing, not wanting to disturb, I quietly sat next to her on the couch not even making a noise. I looked around analysing every detail in the room, whoever designed this had amazing decor ideas.

When you reached the room there was a type of candle which had white balls with black strips around it right in the centre of the living room. There was some space available, which was like a level or two lower, there was a wooden floor which then had short two-step stairs which then lead to a large grey couch that went all around the space.

There was a black table in the middle, with some white magazine covers on the table and a black bowl with sticks inside which I'm guessing are incense sticks. I comfortably laid on the black pillows that had a beautiful pattern on them.

"Hey, sorry I didn't see you there" I chuckled at what Alexander said, "Yeah sorry I didn't want to disturb you" I pointed towards the phone emphasising want I was trying to say, to which she nodded to, showing me she understood my point.

"I'm guessing the food is almost ready, so we won't have to wait for too long." Well, at least I was starving all that organizing tired me out.

We started having a conversation with each other and I found out she was 22 and spent most of her time in college, even though she was almost graduating. Her favourite colour is baby blue, and she's a cat person but she still loved Lola and even gave her a few scratches behind her ear.

I found out that she also runs a small part of the family business which mostly Noah ran, as the oldest, he took care of all his siblings and family business, I'm not sure exactly what it is but looking at the house their extremely wealthy, plus I've heard the last name Ricci before.

And if it's what I think it is, this whole thing just got a lot more complicated.
