Bella's dress.

Peter and I walk down the stairs laughing as he's on my back. Peter is still dressed in his pajamas and I know my Father is going to get mad at me for not having him dressed.

"Good morning." My father sits at the end of the long table in the dining room with his reading glasses at the end of his nose and the newspapers in his hand.

"Morning." I say as I set Peter down in a chair. The chiefs bring in breakfast as we sit down.

"Good morning dad." Peter smiles at my Father and my father smiles back at him.

"Bella why isn't he dressed." He takes off his glasses and rolls his eyes at me.

"Because he's a child." I say while eating the fruit off my plate. "We just got up." I add

"Have him ready next time you join me for breakfast." I don't look at him and continue to eat. "Do we understand?" He says starring daggers at me.

"Yes." I say still not looking at him.

Adam walks in on the phone and talking loudly making all of us turn our heads.

"Well you tell him that comes straight from Bradley Harper." He states firmly and hangs up the phone.

"Using my name as a threat again?" My father doesn't look up from his newspapers.

"Seems to be the only thing that works." He sighs with a disappointed look on his face. I feel bad for Adam. The men of Malevolent probably don't respect him. They just see him as my fathers son who only got the position because he's related.

"Father we need to have the boys over to discuss further plans on..." Adam sits next to my father and begins discussing Malevolent activity.

"We don't talk business around women or children Adam." My father looks mad at Adam for even thinking to talk about this while we are around.

"We'll go. We don't mean to intrude." I take one more bit of my food and Peter stuffs his face before I grab his hand and take him to the backyard.

Peter runs over the single wooden swing and I follow him. He sits on the swing and he waits for me to get over there to push him. I can't help but smile when I see him so happy. After loosing so much when my mother died I felt he was the only thing I had left. A piece of my father died with my mother. And Adam shut me out completely. I push my brother on the swing and let the sun hit my face and I close my eyes and take a few deep breaths.

Adam and my father leave for work without saying good bye to us. I brush it off guessing they were probably in a hurry. Peter and I spend the rest of the day mainly in the backyard, he loves to swim and we have a pool at this house so he is very excited. While he swims I grab a book from my room and lay out on a lawn chair and I make sure to keep an eye on him. Our housekeepers are very sweet people and seem less on edge when my father is gone. I always tell them they don't need to serve us but they don't listen and always bring us our lunch and dinner.

As we get inside the house phone rings and I run to answer it.

"Hello?" I answer the phone knowing it's either my father or Adam since they are the only ones who have the number.

"Is this Bella Harper?" I stand there frozen at this unfamiliar voice.

"Who is this?" I don't answer his question because I don't want to give out any information before I know who it is.

"So this is Bella. Thank you." The phone cuts off and I quickly hang up and begin to dial Adams number.

"Pick up... pick up..." I whisper to myself.

"Hello." Adam answers I already feel a little bit better.

"Adam someone called and asked for me." I say.

"Did they who it was?... shit." He whispers to himself.

"No. It was a man." I say I don't have much information to give him unfortunately. I just want him and my father to be home.

"You and Peter must go to your rooms and lock the door." He says sternly.

"Okay will you be home soon." I ask hopefully.

"Yes." Without saying goodbye he hangs up the phone. I run over to the living room where Peter is sitting and take his hand.

"Adam gave us instructions to go to our own separate rooms. We have to lock the doors to so I don't want you to be afraid it's just a normal lockdown." He nods. He's so brave but he also used to this because if anything in the slightest happens regarding my Father were on lockdown and can not leave our rooms.

Peter gives me a hug when we reach his bedroom and I kiss him on the head.

"Goodnight love, sleep tight." I mess up his hair a little and send him on his way locking them door behind him.

I go to turn the light on in my room but it doesn't seem to be working. I flick it a bunch of times while shutting the door and locking it behind me.

The lights finally turns on and there stands Two men.

"Hello Bella."
