A. Queen

Ms. American Heiress

We got the prank set up. We just saw Austin to see Ace in a pool of blood and we already got Allen’s approval.

After a few minutes Austin comes down and lets out a girly scream. Then Ace in a creepy pre-recorded voice says " You're next Austin! " Austin’s face was priceless. OMG! I ended up laughing so Austin heard me.

" That was a good prank Aria, I gotta admit. " Austin said, sadly.

" Don’t worry Austin the next ones will be worse! " I said with a smirk. Ace gets up and hugs me and I didn't push him off. 

" I wanna hug! " Will said, Ace took 15 steps back. Then Will came to hug me, let's say he was on the ground before he could touch me.

" Why does Ace get a hug? " Will asked. I gave him a deadpan look. And then he said " Okay! Okay. " walking away. 

At dinner. We had Pasta with Alfredo with a side of garlic bread. Once that was placed in front of me, I ran to the Bathroom and threw up my breakfast.

" Aria, what's wrong? " Lucas demanded.

" Well I'm not pregnant, so. I am going to say that that's the last meal I served her. " I said, throwing up some more. After a few minutes I finished throwing up. Then I got up and went to the Kitchen to get a bottle of Water. I drank the whole bottle in under a minute.

" You okay? " Austin asked, as I got on my phone. " Aria?!? " Austin called out to me.

" Are you okay? " Allen asked, getting annoyed.

" Just peachy. " I said, starting to text, J.

How are you? - Aria

Good. You? - James

The usual. Any paperwork for the Gang? - Aria

Yeah. Our spies in the Russian Mafia are planning to attack the French Mafia, and want our help. - James. I sighed heavy.

So go against the French or the Russians? - Aria

I don't know who to trust. - James

They are going to attack us! We are the strongest American Mafia! Then the French and then Russians. They are taking us out, J! - Aria. I shook my head laughing.

" OMG! That's so, small brain, of them. Anyway I gotta go eat dinner with my parents. Bye! - James.

Goodluck! Bye! - Aria. Then I focused my attention on Allen.

" Aria? Who the hell were you texting? " Lucas asked, looking full of regret. I looked away from Lucas.

" A dear friend of mine. " I answered, with a sweet smile.

" Yeah, a boyfriend. " Lucas muttered under his breath.

" Dead. " I said, calmly.

" Dead, what? " Allen asked me, questionably.

" The last man I said I love you, too died. The 1rst man I ever trusted. " I answered, looking at my feet.

" Aria.. " Lucas started to say.

" I never trust any man because I got raped by one. And got pregnant. I miscarried the baby. " I said, looking at my feet like they are the most interesting thing in the world. " Goodnight. " I said, walking up the stairs but I stopped halfway.

" I respect anyone who gains Aria's trust. " Allen said and I smirked.

" I can't believe all she's been through. " Ace began, " And she treats us with respect, yet half of us treat us like trash. "

" I respect Aria, I just don't know how to talk to her. I can't flirt with her. " Mark said. And with that I walked up the rest of the stairs. I walked into my room and worked on some designs on dresses on my laptop. 

An hour later. I turned on the TV and called Mary.

" Hi, Mary! How are the dresses? " I said/asked. 

" They look beautiful Ms. Queen. " Mary said. 

" For the love of fashion! Call me, Aria! Not Ms. Queen, or you're fired Mary. " I said, sternly.

" How about Ms. Aria? " Mary asked, I sighed.

" Fine! " I wined.

2 Hours Later.

The fashion show earned 100 grand. And there were only 10 dresses. Damn. I got up and stretched. Then I heard heavy breathing.

" Who sent you? " I asked, not looking around the room. 

" The English Mafia Heir has requested a meeting with you at 10 am in Lincoln Street Park tomorrow. " He said, I tilled my head to the side.

" Why me? Why not the French? Or the Russians? Why not take me down? " I asked, brushing my hair.

" Ms. American Heiress, I have no clue. I was tasked to give you this message. " After that he left. I sighed and got dressed for bed. Once in bed I thought about what just happened. Why me? Why didn't he request a meeting when my Mother was alive? Is he going to kill me? Where my last thoughts as I went into a dreamless sleep.
