I woke up with a massive headache, it felt like the above Neighbours were banging the floor and walls, but the funny thing is i live in a mansion. It was like not having coffee, and someone digging inside my head with bare fingernails, and everything that can make me go insane. I checked my phone and the time showed 7:15 am, thank fuck i woke up early so i have time to cure this headache slash hangover. I saw clinton passed out on the velvet matte black couch in my room and the mystery of how i got back home is solved. I got out of my oh so comfortable blanket and went in the kitchen to make some coffee.

I sat on the kitchen counter with a coffee mug in my hand that clinton gifted me, it was a matte black coffee mug with my name engraved on it with pure gold, clinton gifted this cup to me when i cracked my first deal with the african arm dealer's he was so proud of me that he went out of his way to gift me this mug that I've kept carefully ever since. My phone rang disturbing me even before i take the first sip of my coffee. I saw the caller id and It was arthur, now what does he want so early in the morning.

"Good morning athena, are you up yet?". He asked in a cheerfully chirpy voice and i was not in the mood for dealing with a morning person which arthur was from the moment he took birth.

"I'm fucked up in the head, and everything feel's like making me give up on life". I said laying my head on the kitchen countertop defeated.

"Good just what i expected, well i want you to fix your mood cause today you have a very very important meeting". he said putting emphasis on the word very.

"Who is it with and if it's that important why is it scheduled so suddenly?". Before any important metting or conference arthur alway's informs me beforehand so i could be prepared.

"It's not just anyone it's the Kingston's, they called me and asked if you were free and guess what you were, so i scheduled the metting for today". arthur said and i got intimidated a little, just beacuse they fixed a metting with us before any clue or any news, it's something out of the blue but nothing i cannot face.

"When is father coming, has he called me to the main house to talk with me first?". i asked arthur cause if Kingston's were here father must be present, he is anyhow the Don of the gang and they are our rival's.

" Sir phoenix isn't going to be present, they have asked to see you, just you. And sir pheonix himself told me to inform you that you shall be present as the future don of the gang" something isn't right, it's just been a while i have taken bussines in my hand, even if it is the slightest of matter about them father should be there even though i am going to handle bussines further in the future. A feeling of uneasiness aroused in my chest.

" Athena i know that you may feel nervous but you have to focus, sir phoenix won't be pleased if you act in favour of your emotions" arthur warned me and i suddenly felt confident, this is the moment when I'll show father that I'm capable to handle anything even the Kingston.

"Fine I'll get ready by 9 send a car." I said and hung up. I braced myself to whatever was going to happen and went to take a shower. I wore a knee length bodycon black dress and strap heels and wore a diamond pendant. I need to make a first impression I'll be representing the phoenix's, i thought to myself as i finished my simple makeup of blush, mascara, and a reddish brown nude lip, makeup was never my forte, but i can do a little makeup that makes me look presentable.

Arthur called me informing that he is waiting in the car at the parking lot infront of the house, before i leave i left a note that i stuck to his forehead letting clinton know that I'm leaving early and thanked him for bringing me home last night and left the room. Arthur was sitting in the front seat, he got out of the car and opened the door for me. I got in the car and finally it started driving.
