OBSESSION

Silks and cottons

GRAYSON

"Anything for you Grayson"
her voice faded away as I cut the call and placed the phone back on my side table, sliding its charger to its designated area

The sunset filled the sky with a deep red flame, setting the clouds ablaze. It was only a matter of seconds before this warmth would turn into pure dark and coldness, just like the way my men describe me

lifting my legs off the bed I took a few deep breaths as my back arched over the edge, assuming and preplanning how my day ahead would go about, just like I want it to. I stretched my arm's length to remove the fatigue and get a grip of myself as my mind became conscious of the surrounding

a deadly buzz ringed on the table

"what do you want now?" I sighed in annoyance. Here comes Marco with another unnecessary event to add to my schedule

"Sir do you want me to get you a designer on for tonight? although you do not lack any in your closet but rather a change for the party?" I raised my eyebrows in utter confusion as his low-toned voice sang in my ears

I looked over the screen of my phone to realize its Sunday already. I had been so buried in my work and the aggression of the Bratva against me this whole week that I must've forgotten about it

"Marco it is a party, right? so I will wear the 'designer suits' that I have in my so-called personal closet like I do every goddamn day" my loud voice resonated in the call

his voice started to have a sense of anxiety "I apologize to inform you sir but since it's Mr. Addams's 59th birthday, he had the themed changed from elegance to costume I'm afraid" I rolled my eyes in pure anger.

"This man is going into retirement and is near his deathbed and he wants to have a children's party for fucks sake" I stood up firmly on the floor and walked towards my wardrobe

he sighed," Sir I'm afraid you must meet these requirements to make an impression and get along with your business, but if I may-"

I stopped striding my hands along my neatly pressed shirts that hung from a silver line above as these unpleasant words took over my tongue "what now Marco" my cold tone must have cut short what he was about to say

"How would a Versace suit be expected of tonight?"
I sighed "Just pick whatever pleases you Marco since you called me just to inform me about a costume party"

He may be a tad bit annoying but it's good to know that he keeps the slightest bits of details remembered.
"Just make sure you send it on time, I don't like being late"

"Well yes of course sir"

I threw my phone on the bed recklessly and proceeded to walk through my closet, to find what would fit me best for the day

ROSE

Astrid's uncontrollable laughter filled the room as I tried on a few dress pieces she picked up for me.

"This is not funny Astrid, what will I wear now?" I cried as Astrid bellowed with laughter once again. I took the water bottle beside me in my hand and forcefully threw it at her as it hit her head and bounced back and forth on the floor
