I am startled awake by the sound of a gunshot, so I put my robe back on and run down the stairs.

After rushing to the kitchen I see Valen, the Carlo guy, and the blond idiot laughing at the kitchen island.

They turn their heads over to me.

"Morning!" Says Carlo.

I'm in shock that they haven't addressed the gunfire.

"What the fuck was that?!?" I exclaim.

They look at the obvious bullet hole I can now see on the ceiling.

"There was a spider." Carlo says.

I can't form any words to reply with. The idiocy is just spilling out of him.

"I was sleeping!"

"Well it is good that you are up. Get ready for a meeting with my dad at the offices." Valen says.

"Can I have an hour? I was just scared shitless by assface over here."

"That was an order Mileva. You should have clothes in your closet now."

His tone stings.

"Oh so now I have to wear the shitty clothes you picked out for me. Wow can't wait."

He definitely doesn't like how I talk back. I can see his bicep flex as he tightens his fist.

"Just go look." He says as calm as he can.

I roll my eyes at him and walk back to my room.

In the closet there are some slutty clothes that I can't imagine wearing to an office. I'm disgusted that this is what they picked out for me.

I look a little more and find a couple professional items. I put on some white dress pants and a black corset styled top. I still look sluttier than I would ever choose to be.

I search for accessories, but there aren't any to be seen. I put on my silver jewelry and black heels from the night before.

The bathroom has nothing to do my hair with, so I just brush it and leave it at that.

I walk downstairs and catch Amir as he is going into a hallway. His hair isn't up like it was last night. The sides don't even look shaved now that his hair is laid on top.

"Amir?"

He turns around.

"Where's my purse you ripped off of me yesterday? I need some stuff in it."

"It is probably in Coda's car. Ask him to get it for you."

"Coda?"

"The blond idiot."

"Assface..." I mumble.

That makes Amir chuckle a little.

I walk into the kitchen again. They all turn to look. Coda whistles at me.

"Gaddamn Mamacita."

Valen doesn't seem too impressed with his behavior.

I take a deep breath before I lose it.

"I think my purse is in your car. Could you get it for me?" I ask.

"Well of course babydoll. Want me to fix the chain for ya too?"

This guy irritates me. I want to shoot him like he shot the spider.

"If that is in your limited skill set, then I would be forever grateful to you sir." I say, bowing to him.
