My Client

CHAPTER 2

Sasha
"No dad just tell me what the heck is going on here?" I didn't know what made my tone so harsh towards my dad. Was it anger or disappointment or both?

"Sasha...calm down please." Dad said with a concerned voice.

"Dad! You just yelled at my brothers telling them not to come to South Africa anytime soon because we're in danger how the hell can I calm down!" I wanted to know what was going on with him as always he didn't want me to worry too much but guess what I hate being kept in the dark more especially about things concerning my well-being.

He tried to comfort me promising that everything will be alright but I was so much worried I couldn't here him anymore I was thinking about what could be the problem affecting him so much that he would deny my brothers from coming here on Christmas holidays. "Sasha?" He called me out making me to snap out of my thoughts. I raised my head up to make him see he had gained my attention.

As he wasn't saying anything I spoke first. "Why can't you tell me what is wrong...Dad?"

"The less you know the better princess." There it is that nickname I know if he calls me that it means he's really worried about me so I gave up like I always do.

"Ok I guess I should go and sleep now."

"Before that Sasha tomorrow I will hire a new bodyguard for you." He said with a small smile escaping at the corner of his mouth.

"No dad I don't nee...." I couldn't finish my protest as he cut me.

"It's not up for discussion...I was letting you know because you hate surprises."

"Ok dad goodnight." I said to him as I reach fora kiss on his cheek.

"Sleep well you too princess. I love you." I pulled away as he said those words before I reached for the stairs towards my bedroom.
I entered my room with a sigh and feeling exhausted. I made my way to the bathroom to clear my make up. After that I quickly changed into my pajamas and made my way to my California king size bed. I couldn't believe that my day changed from best to worse. It was my last day of my second year at the University of Cape town and at home my dad is worried about only what God knows. I played soft music on my speaker before I fell into deep sleep.

Jack

I woke up to my annoying alarm that was ringing like there is no tomorrow. I slipped out of my covers and headed for the bathroom so I can wash my face and change into my training outfit. After that I went to my indoor gym which is inside the house. After an hour of my weight lifting and target shooting I went back into my room to freshen up before I got ready for my first job interview since I got back from the army.

"Hey Mommy's boy." My little sister Camilla called me out as I come down to the dining room through the stairs. She's thirteen and sometimes I just wonder if that's her actual age or she's much older than that because of her mind. I can't believe she just called a twenty seven years old a Mommy's boy.

"Morning daddy's princess?" I retorted

"Morning to you too big brother and you are right about me being daddy's princess because I'm the only heir to the Brown's empire." She chuckled

"You wish Cam." I retorted again before my mom exited the kitchen. "Morning mom" I said to her reaching for a hug.

"Morning son...you cleaned up well today are you going somewhere?" She asked as I hugged her.

"Oh yeah mom I have a job interview at nine at the Castillo mansion." I smiled at her.

"Ohh my son you and your dangerous jobs....why can't you join your dad in the family company and hav...." She was cut by dad entering the dining room too.

"Let him do what he enjoys Maya...and son this doesn't mean that I approve your dangerous jobs I just want you to be happy with what you are doing with your life."

"You just won yourself the best father's award with that speech dad." Camilla chuckled.

"Shut up Cam...and dad I'm glad you understand my decisions." I hugged him too.

"I made breakfast anyone hungry?" My mom questioned.

We all nodded at her and giving her compliments on good she is at cooking as she went back to the kitchen to fetch our breakfast with one of our maids.

"Bon appetite everyone." Mom said as they placed pancakes and some coffee on the table. The pancakes did look delicious and mouth watering like they always do. We ate while making simple conversations like Camilla's school's grades.

"Alright folks Mr Jack here has to go somewhere... and mom thanks again for breakfast.? I said after I got the feeling that I'm full. I excused myself from the table.

" It's fine son I wish I'll make you one everyday but I can't because I know that you'll get this job and chances of seeing you will be slim." She said with a concerned voice.

"Don't worry mom I will always make time for you and my family." I said kissing her cheeks. "I gotta go now bye everyone. "

"Bye." They all said in unison as I made my way to the door leading to the garage. I got into my car switched the ignition on and drove out of the garage and out of our driveway realising I had an hour to reach the Castillo mansion on time.
