am Beatrice Athena Paterson.
I live in an apartment in London, England my best friend loves to have some sleepovers with me on Sundays and Saturdays.
"Gracie don't even bother coming with me " I pulled out my tongue showing her how disappointed I am.
"Listen hear miss Paterson you can't force me to come with you to the park " she pulls her middle finger. I scoffed at her and pulled my middle finger at her.
"Oh **** YOU I'm coming," she said grabbing her winter cout.
I smiled at my victory.
She stepped out the door as fast as she could and made her way downstairs.
I sighed and locked the door after us.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
It was so stunning in the park the snow was white as I could believe it was.
It was cold all I could see was white and lots of people fighting in the snow. I jokingly tossed some snow at Gracie but my smile goes away when I see her looking at me with a maniac smile.
"No no leave me alone I will call your father I swear " I laughed and I didn't have a chance to move because I felt myself being pushed in big snow.
"My butt will freeze " she laughed at me then she tried to get me up. She didn't know what she got herself in I pulled her in the snow with me.
Gracie said she will go home because her parents are calling her. (She is 20 years old and she has a younger brother )
I was sad but instead of going home myself, I went to a coffee shop that I saw. I made my way in and the smell of coffee hit my nose.
"Just coffee with 1 pump of milk please " I smiled at the old man that was probably in his late 40's.
He smiled at me and nodded his head.
After 5 minutes he made my coffee and made my way to a table.
I sat at the table and took my phone out and started to talk to Gracie on the phone.
I and Gracie are different and this is why I loved her.
She has blonde short hair. I had brown long hair.
She has brown dark eyes I have hazel eyes.
She is taller, I am shorter.
She has a family, I don't have a family.
Her parents never killed each other, on the other hand, mine did.
I ended the call with a goodbye and started to go home.
I got up and made my way out the door.
The cold air hit my face as I closed the door behind me. I was tired of walking so much I didn't even know where I was and it made it harder as there was more roads and entering.
I was at the end of a heel. When I could fully feel that someone was following me. It was scary and scarier because I had no clue where I was. I only had 1 year in London, England I originally come from California.
My heart made it even harder for me not to have a panic attack right there.
"Leave the woman alone man the **** is wrong with you?" I hear another voice from the other side of the road.
The man from back scoffed and went somewhere else.
"Thank you, sir" I smiled at him. He was coming on the street I was. Oh, God.
He smiled at me, the most generous smile I saw.
"You lost?" He questioned me.
"Yes, how did you know?"
"You could see it from a mile away. " he had blue dark eyes and his hair was nice. Brown hair on the side.
"Oh," I only said as I put my head down and stopped walking.
"What street?" He said as he looked at me.
" If I would say it will you follow me home?" I said.
He chuckled.
"Silly girl I'm not a creep "
I gave him not my real street but a street that I knew.
"Ok let's go then" he smiled and I followed him.
"Do you have any questions?" He said as there was silence.
"Yes I do...why did you help me?"
"I have a younger sister and she was followed home....she was murdered "
"I'm sorry," I said.
"Nah it's okay"
"You have brothers or sisters?" He said.
"I have a brother who helped me stable myself in London," I said.
My brother worked 2 jobs so he can help me go to London and have an apartment than to have a job so that I can escape hell. he died in a car accident.
"Oh, that's a really good brother if you ask me..." He said.
"Yes he was "
"Here we go your location miss..?"
"Beatrice," I said and I saw his hand coming to mine to shake. I shake his hand and he smiles at me.
"Miss Beatrice I am Adam," he said.
We said goodbyes to each other and went home as fast as I could.
Theodore pov
Alicia left as she found out she was pregnant with my son Lucas 4 years ago.
Alicia ran away from the hospital as fast as she could. I don't care about her I never did but I care about Lucas more than I care about anything.
I hear a light knock on my door that sounded more 'let me in or I will come in ' I knew who it was.
"Come on in," I say once I pull my back straight.
I see Adam looking at me like he will spill some juicy tea.
" do you know Karl?" He says as he sits on the sofa.
"Of course not tell me " who cares who this guy is?
"He tried to steal some of our drugs last 2 days and last night I saw him stalking an angel " he looks at me like I was supposed to deal with it.
"And?" I am no Sherlock Holmes to go search for clues.
"We know that in the mafia world you are not allowed to ********** women without their 'consent' but this mother fucker was looking for a victim "
Let me get it straight did illegal prostitution come back after 9 years. for what?
"Ok now that you made me know about it go and find more "
I give him a cold stare and he gets out of my office as fast as he can.
After 2 hours or 4, I went to check on my son.
"Lucas," he notices me at the door and puts his teddy bear down on his bed.
"Yes, daddy?" He looks at me up.
I and my son never had a good relationship it was more because I didn't have time. I just wish he won't turn like me or something terrible than me even if he will be heir of my companies and mafia it will be hard and tiring.
"Dinner is ready " I closed the door and went downstairs. As I said my relationship with him isn't enough and there is not bringing good to any of us.
As I sat down at the dinner table I saw my little sister Harley smiling towards me.
She sits across me and waits for other people to come.
"Good afternoon brother " she smiles at me honestly I love her but I don't show it to her.
"Afternoon " I only say playing with my food that was nicely put on my plate.
"Where is Lucas?" I hear Johnathan saying as he sat at the table.
"He said he will come," I say as I am getting worried but not showing it on my face.
"Suzzy goes check on him, " I say to one of my maids that prepared the food.
"Yes sir" she puts her head down and goes upstairs after 6 minutes or so, she comes hesitantly to me.
"Sir I-I couldn't find him " she stammered her words. Harley looked hesitantly to me but didn't say anything instead she chewed her food.
"He is a 4-year-old how could you not find a 4-year-old?" I stand up as she only gives me a headache. I didn't even care listening to her bullshit because I take out my gun and pulled the trigger in her head.
Nobody said anything, not even a single word which made me feel relaxed for a bit. "Johnathan takes Gary and 2 other men with you and comes with me " he nods to me and goes to find the best men.
I had many enemies that would love to kill my son or even me but they don't get a chance to even look at me or come near me.
Beatrice POV :
I hate when they put me to work somewhere in the afternoon because there is nothing to do and no one usually comes in at this time.
It was even chilly outside and it made it worst. I hear the bell go off which means a customer came into the coffee shop \restaurant. I look to see who came but there was nobody who came in.
"Hello, miss" a little voice came from down I look down to see a boy.
"Hi there Lil man " I smile at him as I put him on the counter.
"Where are your parents?" He looks down and he starts to play with his fingers.
"Ok, no need to tell me you want to help me make some croissants for you?" I smile at him. The room lit up when he looked at me and started to smile.
Beatrice POV:
We made 4 croissants and I found out his name is Lucas. Nothing more information about him. I think I should call the police after he eats his croissant.
"Angel?" He says as he takes another bite of his croissant.
"What is it, " I say with sympathy.
He sits on my lap and starts hugging me. "Please don't call the police on me " he hugs me more. I felt sadness because why wouldn't he want to go home?
"Lucas I won't be we need to find where are your parents ok. They must be in worry about you " I say as I put him on the chair next to me.
I hear the door open fast and the aura of the shop changes.
"There you are Lucas I was worried about you " A man who looked maybe in his 20's starts to walk at us.
His brown dark eyes landed on me.
I smile and stood up from the chair that was next to Lucas.
"Hi, my name is Beatrice I took care of Lucas until you came " I know what you might WTF but I only wanted the ground to slurp me up.
"Thank you " I hear a voice that sounded familiar to me.
"Adam!" I say not knowing what to do.
"Yeah yeah it's me the ladies love me," he says sarcastically and I only laugh at him.
I could sense that the man was looking at me but I didn't care. Maybe he was thankful that I found Lucas and no one that was planning to do something else found him.
"But daddy I want angel, I want an angel to come with us please daddy " I hear Lucas crying it broke my heart but I only smiled at him trying not to feel more sympathy for Lucas.
"Hey there look at me," I say as I pull him to my chest "I promise you tomorrow we can not each other here and we can play I promise " the man stared at me but didn't say anything.
"Angel do you need a ride home?" I hear Adam saying as he takes away Lucas from me.
"No, thank you " I smiled.
************************************
Lucas left sobbing and it broke my heart I just finished my job for today.
As u went home I told everything to Gracie and she didn't like the idea of him not even thanking me. I convinced her that everything is fine and she wanted tomorrow to see Lucas for the first time I was happy.
Time passed and I went to sleep as fast as I hit the bed.
In the morning I woke up and felt like trash as always.
I took a quick shower that was 30 minutes and I went to pick an outfit.
...
...
I went outside of my apartment and closed my door after me with my key.
I saw Gracie waving her hand towards me and eating a bar of chocolate. I swear this girl be eating how much she wants and she won't put on weight on her.
