~~Haven's POV~~

My eyes adjusted to the morning light as I stretched across the bed. I slowly sat up playing the previous nights events through my mind. I smiled at the memory of Joker holding me through the early morning hours. I looked over and like I expected, he wasn't there. My smile faded as my hand gently touched the spot he laid in.
The sound of a knock on the door startled me stopping my thoughts. I went to open the door and one of his men stood in a all black suit, tall and stocky built with dark hair and goatee. He was one of the men I saw Joker talking with at his club.
"The boss wants you dressed and downstairs in thirty minutes. I'll escort you when your ready," the man said handing me a few shopping bags.
I nodded my head in agreement grabbing the bags and closed the door.

I followed the odd man throughout the mansion. My heels echoed against the marble finished floor. All I could do is look in awe at the beauty surrounding me.

I sat down and looked at Joker sitting at the head of the table. He looked me over as if he'd fuck me on that very table, but just like that his expression faded looking back into his phone.
ME: GOOD MORNING ☀️
"A good morning it is, Haven," he said looking over the plate a lady had sat in front of him.
A plate was set in front of me and I gave her a warm smile with thanks.
"Ms. Haven, I'm Rose. I'm your weekday chef for the breakfast and lunch hours. At your convenience you can make a list of you favorite dishes, snacks and beverages. You can also mention new dishes you'd like to try, your daily calorie intake and also food allergies if you have any."
I just nodded in agreement.
She smiled warmly walking over to the odd man who sat across from me. She sat a plate in front of him then sat a variety of drinks on the table.
"Enjoy," she said lastly walking away.
The two men didn't even acknowledge her presence. She looked use to it.
It was quite for a moment. The only sound that was present was eating and sipping of our drinks here and there.
"Amber's funeral was nice. I sent flowers to the family but I don't think they were very pleased with my gift," Joker randomly explained.
I looked at him blankly. Did he think that was a way to scare me? Her brains were particularly in my lap so why would I give a fuck. I rolled my eyes drinking some orange juice.
ME: A NICE CHECK WOULD'VE SUFFICED
"Ya pushing it doll face," he said sipping his coffee. "Now that bitch Gabby won't have a funeral. To the public, she's still missing. Let's just say I have a good way of disposing bodies."
Nicole came to my thoughts. I wondered did he hurt her too.
"And Ms. Nicole.........."
I looked up from my plate waiting for him to speak. Even though I didn't want to admit it, I really didn't want him to hurt her. She was the only one who tried to be my friend when no one else didn't.
"Well I didn't kill her. I'd never kill a loyal employee," he said with a wide smile to go along with it.
His last words struck me like lightning.
ME: Excuse me? Did you say employee?
"Good morning everyone," Nicole said walking into the dinning room grabbing an apple. "Please tell me that I'll be going back to my regular duties. It was fun in all, but I'd like to be twenty-six again."
"Of course doll. For your outstanding work on locating, retrieving and delivering Ms. Haven to me; I'm giving you the promotion we talked about earlier."
"It definitely was a simple mission boss and I'd be delighted to take the new position."
"It's settled then. Set up an appointment with, Veronica, in HR. She'll gave you all the details to get you started on your new journey. You'll be pleased with your new pay. Don't disappoint me," Joker said standing up from his seat.
"You won't have to worry about that," Nicole said sipping her orange juice.
"Today you'll show, Haven around the residence and also take her shopping." He looked over at me. "We're going out tonight. Be ready at eight."
I watched him take another sip of his coffee and walk off with the odd man he never introduced me to. I looked over at Nicole eating if as she hadn't done a thing wrong.
"We have a busy day ahead of us. We better get going," she said looking at her phone.
ME: How can you sit here and act like you didn't do anything wrong?
She laughed a bit looking at me. "Sweetie, I did you a favor. Look around you, these walls are a lot better then that room you once lived in."
ME: I sat around you for months thinking I could trust you as a friend, thinking we had something in common. The whole time you were fooling me. I was just a fucking job to you."
"Girl, don't take the shit personal. Yes, I work for the Joker and yes I was assigned to bring you to him, but that doesn't mean we can't still be friends. You think anyone that works for Joker came from a good place? Everything I told you about my life was true. I did deceive you into thinking I was someone else, but our friendship was always genuine."
ME: So let's start with your real name.
"Diamond......my name is Diamond Nicole Smith and I'm your lady in waiting." She stood up from the table grabbing her phone. "Now let's be on Queen behavior. You can't join your King tonight without looking and acting like a Queen."
ME: A Queen?!
"Yes, his Queen. You are the Queen of Gotham. You belong to The Joker."
