The Rise of the Red Queen

20

The following two days were almost identical as Andre had Gabriel stay home with me the first day and Andrew home the next. I managed to slip away to talk to Elena and Marie for a few minutes but was found eating the brownies they had pulled out of the oven by Andrew. I had helped him make pizza for dinner that night and I made a huge mess of the kitchen throwing the cheese and toppings at the pizzas. Andrew gave me a bath while the pizzas were in the oven and we came down to see a few angry dominants. They softened up when Andrew explained I helped make dinner and made a bigger mess of myself than the kitchen. I was left with them as Andrew cleaned the kitchen with Gabriel's help. This morning at breakfast I told them today was the day I shopping with Snap. They all told me to have fun and Mark gave me his card to use again.

It was after breakfast when Jasper was getting ready to head into the office that I asked if he would come with me to a few business meetings this morning. He was more than willing since his original plan was to stay home with me. Theodore and Felipe were waiting for me in my office with a third guard I didn't know. "This is Sergio. He is taking Santiago's place for the rest of the week. He is from boss's Familia. I thought you'd like it better with someone who knew who you were, my queen." Theodore introduced giving a bow of his head at the end. "I like the bow Theo it's a nice touch, but you know it's still okay to call me Amity. Yes, it's better if the guards know who I really am, but that won't be an issue starting Saturday night. My theatrics are going to play out then. We need to head to each of the investment managers first. Papa Bear is joining us in the meetings. Sergio you'll wait outside for us to finish. Then, the three of you get to go shopping with me and Snap while Papa Bear goes to his office. We will meet you at the investment managers." I stated before walking out with Jasper.

The first two meetings were quick ones and I had asked for copies of all the paperwork that they had. The third meeting was the one I was anticipating. The two remaining controlling parties both accepted the buy out that was offered. I had the investment manager give me copies of the paperwork as well before asking him to leave the room. Theodore and Felipe didn't look as confused as Jasper did. "Papa Bear I know you are confused but I'll explain. I have the investment rights to eight different small businesses. I am now the majority stock or share holder in thirty more companies. Out of those twenty of them have ties to the criminal world. I just made it so I can control the most powerful mafia's around the world. Greed is blinding so the last two share holders easily took the cash payout I had authorized. I need you to take the paperwork with you. I'm going with the guards to meet Snap at the mall to go shopping. Please read through all the paperwork. I may have been able to take control of the companies but I know nothing of actually running a business." I said before giving him a brief kiss and leaving the room after setting the papers in front of him.

Theodore drove us to the mall and we found Cassady quickly as she tried tackling me in another excited hug. Felipe caught her before she could run full force into me. "Cassady don't tackle her on the pavement. That will end very badly for all of us." Felipe said quickly before letting her go. "Thing three has a point," Cassady mumbled quietly in my ear making me giggle. "Snap his name is Felipe," I corrected. "Hey he's just lucky I don't call them the three muska... Wait you're not thing two." Cassady said finally catching sight of Sergio beside me. "Santiago is busy doing something else. This is Sergio. Now here is a bank card that needs money spent. You may commence the torture." I said with a cheeky smile before she drug me off as I saw Theodore silently chuckling.

Cassady had a blast shopping. Me not so much but it was fun goofing around with her. We had been through most of the mall when we found a massive arcade. That was when the fun really started. Game after game we played to our amazement there was even a bowling alley that we played a few games at. We were both trying to switch our shoes back when Theo handed me his phone. I giggled into it as I dropped my shoe. "Sweetheart," I heard Andre say. I giggled out "Daddy!" I giggled some more trying to put my shoes on with no luck. "Sweetheart Mister Theodore will put your shoes on you. Then he will bring you and Snap home. Can you be a good girl and tell Snap to give Mister Theodore her keys?" Andre asked. I giggled some more giving Cassady the phone wiggling my feet as Theo tied my shoes. "Alright princess. Time to go home." Theo said taking Cassady's keys from her. "Sergio follow us in her car back to the house. Cassady hold Felipe's hand or he will be carrying you." Theo ordered before picking me up and carrying me out of the mall. I fell asleep before the ride home even started.
