“Mia! We have a meeting in ten minutes! What the fuck are you doing here?” Archer fumed as he walked in the kitchen. “I’m just having my breakfast, Arch.” I sighed. “I’m hungry.” I pouted. Archer glared at Marcus, making him gulp as he stood up and disappeared somewhere in the storage room behind the kitchen. “Great! Now you’ve scared my favourite chef!” I huffed, throwing my hands up in the air. “It’s not a time to joke, Mia. Hurry up!” Archer snapped at me. “Would you calm down, Arch? Don’t be such a senseless idiot.” I huffed as I got up, leaving my pancakes. “Do I need to remind you that you’re talking to your boss? Your dangerous boss?” Archer hissed. “I already know who I am talking to. The man who’s got no chill.” I glared at him before I took my leftovers and put them away for me to eat after the meeting. Now off to the meeting we go! She had the typical cliché story. The queen bitch in her school ruled over her peers while she dated the quarterback from the football team. A newbie good girl entered the picture and changed everything. After bunch of heartbreaks, stupid pranks, teenage jealousy and stuff, the quarterback fell for the new girl and everyone called it a happy ending. But it wasn’t so happy for our girl. Because she wasn’t the good girl. She was the bad one. She was the rich and bitchy queen bee. When high school ended with her boyfriend of more than three years who was now her ex, vowing to keep some other girl happy forever, our girl lost it. She knew that with high school, her days of being popular were over. So she decided to go wild, doing whatever she wanted. After all, she no longer had anything to lose! Her parents never really cared and she didn’t exactly have any real friends either. So she let life take her wherever it desired. What she didn’t know was that such recklessness will lead her directly to the most feared mafia boss of all times! How could she have guessed that going to a popular club with fake ID and boldly dancing on top of a table will catch the eye of some dangerous people? And how could she have known that it’ll also get her into some serious trouble when suddenly, gunshots are being fired all around her? Leaving a young super drunk girl alone in the night after she had witnessed him shooting a dozen of enemies was something the mafia leader couldn’t do. That’s why he took her with him. That is how this story begins… Turns out, our girl wasn’t just a pretty face!

“Dad, there are a few things that a teenage girl is supposed to hide from her parents. It’s a rule. Read the rule book.” I told him seriously. “Okay… So, does this friend of yours have a name?” He asked. “Daddy!” I exclaimed. “A father is supposed to know the name and addresses of all the boys his daughter ever thinks about. It’s a rule. Read the rule book, missy!” He shot back. “But you’re not supposed to know about the older, bad boys your daughter thinks about.” I smirked at him, crossing my arms. I mean, he is older than me… Well played, Liv! “It’s Hunter Kingston, isn’t it?” Dad asked with a deadpan look. My smirk dropped much like my hands that dropped down like noodles by my side. “Yes.” I answered sheepishly. “He’s the only older, bad boy you can talk to.” Dad chuckled. Do you remember who your childhood friends were? Probably. Probably not. Well, Olivia does. They were a close-knit group of four. Then they were a group of three. Then two. And finally, the group no longer existed... Olivia, Ryan, Kaylee and Hunter were the closest of friends till the end of middle school. But like always, high school changed everything. Hunter became the typical bad boy who cared about nothing. Kaylee was the Queen of the mean, the head-cheerleader who made everyone bow down to her. Ryan was the nice guy, the quarterback who kept his grades up and was the star kid of the town. Something had clearly happened during the small break before they all became high schoolers... But nobody even cared to find out exactly what it was. Olivia, the crazy cheerful girl who could make anyone smile or cry in a matter of seconds, didn’t change at all. That was why her next door neighbour and ex-best friend, Ryan, still sent a smile or two her way whenever he saw her. But what happens when Olivia decides to act upon her crush on her ex-best friend, Ryan? Will it reveal the secrets of the past or will it just lead to more trouble and distance between these four? Read on to find out…

He might have been a devil but She was the queen of them all! __________ "What came first? The egg or the chicken?" Xander asked as he crashed on the couch in front of the television. "Well, the word egg came out of your mouth first." I answered as I rolled my eyes. "No shit, Sherlock!" He replied with his eyes closed as he tried to rest. "Well, I don't have to be Sherlock to know that insulting a teacher's kid in front of her would land anyone in detention, Einstein!" I retorted. "Hey! It wasn't my fault that he came after you!" He defended himself as he came to stand in front of me. "It is my job to protect you!" He stated. "Says the guy who called me to save his ass not even an hour ago!" I replied with a snort.
