perfectly imperfect

prologue

Amalia Menóva

"Amalia wake up honey" A sweet, gentle voice rang in my ears. I groaned scrunching and turned away in hopes of being left in peace.
Violetta, my personal maid, chuckled softly deciding to uncover and shake me gently.

I groaned again from the cold air trying to reach for the blanket half of me still asleep. "Oh no you don't princess" She cooed yanked the blanket even further away.

I groaned begging for 5 more minutes under that soft warm blanket almost whining. "It not my problem hija, If you have an issue take it up with your papa". I sat up squinting as she pulled the curtains open revealing the harsh rays of the morning sun.

Violetta walked out without another glance seeing as she had managed to get me up and still had other things to do,  leaving me there to get my self ready for school.

My name is Amarithea Dimitriovich Menóva (but everyone calls me Ami unless your my dad that is; he calls me  Thea but I prefer to go by Amaria) and I am 17. My parents are divorced I have an older sister (Evanca) who lives with my mother and I live with my dad in his on the other side of the world. My mother and sister live in Russia in my old pack but after the divorce, dad took me with him as far away as he possibly could to America. That was 10 years ago and I haven't seen or spoken to either of them since.
I finished my morning routine not bothering to straighten my hair because I just felt way too lazy so I put it in a messy bun and left my room to meet dad for breakfast.

Being rouges you may think us to be poor and we were for a long time and it was really bad to the point where we nearly died of starvation out on the cold streets but that was until my father met his second mate Alister who gave us a home and shelter in our time of need. Being as he was also a rogue he also didn't have much other than a small business which together with my father they turned it into now one of the worlds biggest shipping company and they developed and invested in a lot of other huge and small companies making us them really rich which came with a lot of changes.
Sadly my stepdad died about a year ago so now it's just me and my dad alone again which isn't necessarily good or bad it just different.

I walked to the large and elegantly spacious dining room to find dad sitting reading a book patiently waiting for me to start breakfast. I smiled to myself and walked over to him giving him a kiss on the cheek. " good morning sweetheart " he mumbled not looking away from his book. what is so interesting about it that he can't even look away from it for a second. I snatched the book from him abruptly causing him to glare at me playfully.

"That wasn't polite Ami?" he teased now smiling at me.

Before I even had a chance to respond his phone rang beside his plate. He frowned and reached for his phone standing to answer it. He was probably going to skip breakfast so I guess I was eating alone again. My eyes followed him as he walked away and he shot me an apologetic smile before exiting.

I sat down with a quiet sigh before Violetta came in sitting the food down in front of me, I thanked her with a smile before digging into my favorite strawberry pancakes.

After breakfast, I went to the driveway to find Connor waiting to drive me to school. He was my only friend but was also hired by my father to look after me. Yeah I have that type of father and to be honest, I'm not complaining. Connor was the same age as me and also went to the same school. He was also trained in combat and a fellow rogue. In school, he was known as one of the bad boys while I was the complete opposite.

" what to you so long sis?"

'I don't wanna go to school today' I signed. oh, I forgot to mention...I'm mute. My childhood wasn't exactly what you would call normal and well let's just say I'm lucky to be alive right now.
