"What the hell are you doing here?" Archer growls getting out of the car and Nate lets out a dry laugh.

"The same reason why you're here, our father was found dead in his office." Nate replies as I get out of the car after Archer his eyes creepily following me. Archer lets out a disgusted scoff and Nate ignores it.

"Who's your friend?" He asks gesturing towards me with his chin.

"Brooklyn Reeves." I introduce myself trying to be the bigger person and not ignore him like I want to.

"Reeves as in Gold Records?" He questions and I nod.

"Interesting."

"Okay, if you're done interrogating my girlfriend I'd like to go inside." Archer comments emphasizing girlfriend and Nate rolls his eyes.

"Whatever little brother, Mom said that she'll be here by tomorrow morning. She was in San Francisco when she heard the news, I don't know why she's even bothering to come, we all know she hated that bastard."

I hold in my gasp at his harsh words and Archer just snorts before taking my hand and leading me into their large house. It was extravagant to say the least, as soon as you entered there were huge gold stairs leading up to the second floor.

"You have an amazing house." I try, Archer's hard face making me a little worried but he just doesn't respond.

"Archer." I try again grabbing his hand as we start to walk up the large stairs. He stops looking back at me with a look that sent shivers down my spine, a look that reminded me a lot of Jasper and a small dose of fear spreads inside of me.

"What's wrong?" I ask softly taking my hand off of his arm not liking the sickening feeling I get when I think of Jasper.

Archer must have seen the look on my face because his face immediately becomes softer. And he frustratedly runs a hand through his hair.

"I'm sorry princess, Nate just gets to me sometimes." He sighs gently placing his hand on my chin. He lifts my head up so that I could meet eyes with him and he gives me a light kiss before intertwining our hands.

"When's the last time you were here?" I question as we continue to walk up the seemingly never ending staircase.

"A couple months ago, but it was just for a couple of days I didn't even get to see my mom."

"Wow, when's the last time you've seen her?" I ask as we finally reach the top where a large living room to our right and a long hallway to our left are.

"Last year towards the end of it, she had to meet with the Headmistress and she flew to New York." Archer admits and my mouth almost drops as we turn left.

"Have you talked to her?" I ask and he shakes his head. I couldn't imagine not talking with my parents. Even though the last time I saw them was in Barbados when the visited us, they still call and check up on me a couple times a week.
