~THE QUEEN DEATH~

~PRLOGUE - II~

f**k! f**k! f**k! s**t! f**k!

I am so screwed!!

And that's just because of that motherfucker who showed me his unlucky b***h face!!

Yep! My brother!

'You just need to blame everything on others, don't you?' my inner voice remarked bitterly.

'Yeah yeah, Whatever' I said in a bored tone, while frantically looking around for my heels.

Apparently, My heels have decided to play hide and seek with me, today.

That's why I am running 15 minutes late now!

I swear I saw them beside the bed along with my dress and jewels when I came in!!

But them shoes decided to ditch the group and go f*****g exploring at this critical time of crisis!

"Arghh!!"I cried out in frustration while throwing my hands up in the air like a maniac when something glittery caught my eyes from under my vanity table.

There they are!

My heels!

Finally.

I shoved my foot inside those glittery monster trucks and practiced a little to walk in them around the room without tripping and embarrassing myself, before taking a look in the mirror to make sure my makeup was intact and my hairs were just the way they were before my little shoe hunt had started.

I quickly grabbed my baby gun from the drawer and shoved it in my left thigh holster. I then shoved another gun in my clutch along with a pocket knife for extra safety. I carefully put a dagger in between my breast, cause no one could be too sure. I quickly grabbed my clutch and started walking out of the room when I heard incessant knocking on my door.

Must be my mom!

I jumped towards the door to open it before mom decides to break it down with her hulk power. My mom's b***h face was on, but as soon as she saw me standing, her b***h face dissolved, and her lovey-dovey face was switched on, her face becoming emotional.

"Meri Rajkumari kitni badi hogayi. Mujhe toh Vishwas hee nahi ho Raha hai" she croaked out her eyes filled with unshed tears.

(My princess is all grown up. I can't believe it!)

"Don't cry ma. You haven't done the make-up just to ruin it with tears now, did you?" I said fondly to her while smiling softly. She was wearing a golden saree matching it with golden bangles and big earrings. She had light makeup on, along with her signature bold red lipstick. She was looking very beautiful.

She brought her right hand's ring finger up to her right eye and collected some kajal from there, and touched that finger behind my ears leaving a light black colour spot. It is a ritual in India, which is done to make sure the particular doesn't catch the eye of someone bad. As if. I didn't believe it though, just for her sake I was going with it. She quickly grabbed my hand and pulled me into a bone-crushing hug. I swear she drink some superpower tonic every day to make her this powerful even at this age!! Not saying that she is old, cause she looks like she is in her mid-thirties. "You are looking very beautiful, honey" She whispered against my ears.

I was wearing a light pink lehenga along with a pink blouse and chunni pinned to my dress giving it a royal look. My hair was set in a loose bun, a few curls around my face to give it an elegant look, Paired with a heavy ring and some matching bangles. I also had on big pink earrings matching my lehenga. I was looking beautiful, I can say that. I felt pretty.

Then she abruptly pulled back and scowled at me.

What the f**k??!!?

"We were supposed to be downstairs 20 minutes before. You made us late" she said scowling while grabbing my hand.

Oh, mother! You and your mood swings!

She started dragging me along with her until we were near the stair top.

All eyes turned towards me and my mother, while dad and Allesandro started making their way up the stairs. I saw Adriano and Dino standing downstairs with Kanha, where my dad and Allesandro were standing a few moments back. " You are looking beautiful as always," Dad said softly kissing mom's cheek and winked at her, at which she blushed. I swear they behave like lovestruck teenagers all the damn time!! Dad then softly pulled me in for a hug, unlike mothers. " Buon Compleanno, Miele. You are looking like an angel," he said in his usual gruff voice, before releasing me.

(Happy Birthday, honey)

There was a cold expression on his face, but I could see right through it, a man who will do anything to protect us. "Thank you, Dad," I said smiling softly. " You will get your special gift tonight. After the party come to my office." He said with a serious expression. I nodded back. Hmmmm

 What could it be?

 Could it possibly be a ca-

" I can see the wheels turning in your head, you dumbass. Don't fuss over it. I am sure you will like it. Just enjoy the party, and let me do the same." My ass of a brother said while offering me his hand." You are looking like a pig, you know," he joked. " Why thank you brother," I said rolling my eyes at him. Immature piece of s**t. I quickly slipped my hands into his, as he escorted me downstairs, every eye following my steps. Don't trip. Don't trip. Don't trip!! Just focus on your steps!!

I stepped down from the last stair and sighed from relief.

 THANK GOD!

I saw some couples making their way over to us. Bet it is to wish me a Happy Birthday!

'wow! you are a genius, ain't you?' my inner voice said sarcastically while rolling her eyes at me.

'I know I am genius, you poop face!' I said, wondering if this happens with everyone. I mean if their inner voice bugs them just the same way as mine does or if it is just me?

'Real mature' she scoffed shaking her head while turning on her heels and leaving me alone.

Finally.

It was not a very big party, only our family and friends and some business associates were there. Women clad in beautiful gowns and men in tux were seen all over the place. The hall was decorated very beautifully, with so many chandeliers and lights giving it a grand look. The chairs and tables had a theme of cream and black colour, giving the room a very elegant touch. Waiters were offering drinks and snacks to everyone. Everyone was enjoying themselves. Good.

"So, you know what it is, eh?" I asked my brother about the surprise dad was talking about. "I know everything going on in here," he said, shrugging his shoulders. My dad and he were wearing a tux with matching bowties as their date.

I noticed Allessandro's bowtie is blue. I quickly grazed my eyes through the crowds of people to see any woman with a blue dress on. There were two. One had her arms around a man, and another one was .......shoving her boobs in someone's face. Chloe? What is she doing here?

"Who is your date?" I asked confused glancing at Allesandro who was looking anywhere but me.

" Chloe," he said, his jaw clenched. " You brought that b***h to my party?" I asked raising my left eyebrow, annoyed.

" You know how she is right? I have been f*****g her for a while now and she thinks she is my girlfriend and that I love her. Such a clingy w***e" he said with a disgusted expression. "You know what she did when I didn't invite her to the party? She called mom and bitched about me not inviting her even when I love her and how we are planning to get married in future....blah blah blah. Her words, not mine. And mom being mom forced me to bring her along" he said with distaste.

"Seems like a typical Chloe thing" I snorted. "And by the way, mama mami aa gye?" I asked as Dad and mom joined us along with Kanha, Adriano and that Dino guy from the morning. Kanha was busy looking around the room with an awestruck expression. A smile found my face at that. He is eight years old right now and total beauty. I know he will break hearts when he will grow up. I love my brothers with everything I have. "Happy birthday, didi" Kanha's sweet voice interrupted my thinking as I saw him turning towards me and giving me a bright smile. "Thank you, Bhai" I replied sweetly smiling at him.

( And by the way, has uncle and aunt arrived?)(didi- elder sister)( Bhai- younger brother)

(MAMA- mother's brother and Mami - Mother's brother's wife)

" Pahauchne vale hai Abhi thodi der me," he said glancing towards his watch.

(They will be here in some time)

"Wishing you a shitty 21st birthday sister!" Said Adriano grinning at me. I rolled my eyes with a soft smile. He was always a goofball since childhood. Always grinning like an i***t. He is not my real brother if you are wondering. He is my cousin and lives with us. He was born at the same time as Allesandro. He is the son of Dad's brother, Lorenzo Rossi and his wife Mia Rossi, who died in a car crash when he was just one year old. So mom and dad took him in and has been raising him since then like their own kid. He is loved just the same way as us.

The couples reached us wishing me a birthday while telling me I was looking very beautiful. I know I am looking beautiful, unlike you fake bitches. But I can't say it to their faces, you know. Not that I am afraid of them, but I am afraid of what my mom is capable of doing. She will surely chop me into small pieces then fry it in boiling oil and eat me without regret. I can even see her doing that in my brain, wearing a black gown with red horns and all, looking like a total witch. I shuddered at that thought. So I just politely thanked them. So god damn boring!!

I saw a car pull up, at the gate, from the windows. I quickly excused myself from the couples and went to my mom, informing her of their arrival. I along with mom, dad, Allesandro, Adriano and Kanha went outside to receive them, whereas Dino stayed in to make sure everything was going fine.

I saw mama and mami stepping out of the car followed by Aditi and Tanishq. Aditi and Tanishq are my cousins. Aditi is 16, a total babe with no attitude at all and a goofball, and Tanishq is 11, with his godly looks. Aditi always pairs with Adriano to irritate all of us. They are one hell of a pair. But when she is not with Adriano then she is with Allesandro. It seems like they are joined by hips together and their relationship is so different to that of ours. Ours is a kind of a love-hate type but her and Alessandro is all unicorn and rainbows. He cares for her so so much. He is never the type of person to show open affection but seems like Aditi is an exception to it. They were like this Since they were kids. It's so lovely to see them together. It's even nicer when Adriano is with them. They never eat without each other. Childish but lovely. Where those three is a trio, ours is no less. It includes me, Kanha and Tanishq. We have the same kind of relation as them. We always hang out with each other. While Adriano and Allesandro spoil Aditi, I spoil Kanha and Tanishq. I love them all so so much that I know I will gladly sacrifice my life, my everything, just to see them happy.

I saw many and mama touching mom and dad's feet, seeking blessings. While Aditi and Tanishq touched mine, Allesandro's and Adriano's feet, followed by mom and dad.  We went forward and touched mama and mami's feet, while Kanha had to touch Aditi's feet as well. And if you all are getting confused as to what is happening, then let me introduce you to yet another Indian culture in which we touch the feet of our elders if we are meeting them after a long time. So, the eldest one never touches anyone's feet nd just give blessings while the youngest one has to touch everyone's feet. It is done to seek blessings and show respect to our elders.

I saw mami wearing a beautiful blue lehenga, while mama was in a navy blue tux. Aditi was wearing a peach coloured one-piece, coming to her mid-thigh. And Tanishq was in a black suit, looking cute as ever.

All of them wished me a happy birthday with lots of hugs and kisses.

I am so happy to have such a loving family.

"What are you wearing?" Adriano and Allesandro spoke together eying the dress Aditi was wearing. Oh no! Their overprotective b***h mode was on.

"A dress?" She said confused glancing towards her dress to see if there was anything stuck on it. "Is something wrong with it?" she asked now looking utterly confused.

"Aditi, nothing is wrong with it. You are looking beautiful. They are just being their overprotective dumb selves," I said grinning as both of my brothers narrowed their eyes at me.

"You just be happy that we are letting you wear that piece of cloth which is showing that much of your skin since it is your birthday" Adriano snapped while Allesandro and even Tanishq agreed. Kanha was enjoying the show going on. Traitor!

I huffed and rolled my eyes at them and saw that there is no sign of any elder outside. They have gone inside, I guess. It was just our retarded group of siblings outside.

" You," said Allesandro pointing his fingers towards Aditi, his eyes narrowed, " are not going in wearing that piece of cloth. Go to Sana's room and borrow something that covers your skin and not something like this" he ordered.

I quickly made my way to her and grabbed her hand. "She is not changing. If she wants to wear this then those horny ass motherfuckers are your problem. After all, what are brothers for? Or are you afraid that you are not capable of protecting us?" I said grinning, while lowering my voice so the kids won't hear me swearing. I know I was pushing him in all the wrong points, but I can't help it.

After all, that's what sisters are for.

I saw both of them becoming angrier with each second while Aditi grinning alongside me.

Mission accomplished.

"Fine. Don't blame me if someone is going home with a bullet between their eyes." Alessandro snapped. Both of them were looking like cartoon characters with steam coming out of their ears and their face red with anger, first clenched.

They are looking so cute!

Can I take a pic of them?

Good idea but not worth my life.

We made our way inside the house, with those angry cuties following us everywhere we go, throwing a nasty glare at anyone who eyed us.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Party was indeed great. I and Aditi enjoyed ourselves a lot. We were kinda inseparable during the party and so were Kanha and Tanishq. I don't know about those freaking bitches of ours though, who followed us everywhere. 

The party has ended hours ago. I and Aditi are now in my room changed in comfy pyjamas and oversized tops, catching up. She is telling me about some of her exes. Thank God our brothers are not here to hear this conversation or else they would have paid a private visit to India! We talked about probably everything. From clothes to food. From toilets to how to clean toilets. From d***s to dickheads. From brothers to the type of brothers. We even argued over the number of apes present in the world and gushed over those cute pandas found in China and how lovely it would be to have a pet shark. We even decided the name for it. We will call him Mr Tinkerbell.....if we ever owned one. We had a pillow fight. I won of course. 

We were in the middle of an important conversation when  the- 

'Important my ass' my inner voice snorted while shaking her head.

'Shut up!' I snapped at her, at which she just rolled her eyes.

So where was I again?

Oh right!

We were in the middle of an important conversation when there was a knock on my door before Allesandro entered the room.

"Why are you still up? You should go and rest. We have so much to do tomorrow" he said frowning. So much to do? Are they going somewhere without telling me?

"So much to do?" Aditi asked confused. So, she doesn't know. 

"A trip to an amusement park, then to the mall to buy anything you want, then dinner at your favourite restaurant," he said ." How does that sound?" he asked, grinning.

What the f**k?!!??

My jaw was practically sweeping the floor while Aditi squealed with delight and hugged Allesandro while peppering sloppy kisses across his face. He just hugged her back, smiling.

Can I come as well, my sweet sweet brother? 

Am I allowed?

Or....

Am I not allowed?

I gave him a stink eye at that. Am I a bad sister if I am feeling jealous of Aditi?

'Yup, you are ' my inner voice said nodding her head. 

I didn't say anything at that just silently pulled the covers over my head with a deflated face.

Does my brother not love me? Do I irritate him that much? But I love my broth- 

Suddenly I felt something very heavy fall upon me, knocking my breath out of the lungs. Since my face was inside the covers, I felt suffocated. I quickly pulled the covers down and saw that it was Allesandro lying horizontally upon me grinning, his weight crushing me. 

"Get off me you b***h ass!!!" I screamed at him, while he just poked my nose, still grinning.

Does he have a death wish?

He is seriously going down. Get ready you motherfuc-

My thinking was Cut short when I saw Aditi running towards the bed to jump on us.

"Bitchess, the queen is coming" she screamed like a maniac jumping on us.

"Nooooo-  Aditiiiiii...ughhhh.....get off me you people," I whined in pain as both of them stared at me amused. The jump obviously didn't hurt the monkey lying on top of me. This double weight is killing me. Are they planning to get up or not??

I started to fake cough on their face, to which they made a disgusted expression and quickly scrambled off me. The moment they were of me I threw the covers away to catch my breath while laughing. They were just grinning like the doofus heads they are. 

"Awww.....is my sister sad?" Said Allesandro in a baby-like voice while pouting. He is looking like a f*****g constipated weasel. I internally snorted at that.

"Nope," I said grinning, while both of the baby weasels grabbed my cheeks from both sides and started a game of tug of war. Have they eaten each other brains in the dinner?

"Ahhhhh" I screamed in pain, as I slapped their hands away from my face while rubbing my cheek, trying to lower the pain.

"You can come as well," my brother said grinning, while Aditi eagerly nodded staring at me.

I can? 

I wondered 

"Yup, you can. Everyone is coming. So be ready by eleven in the morning" he said. "And DON'T BE LATE," He said narrowing his eyes a bit and got off the bed.

"Go to bed, Aditi," he said going toward the door when he abruptly stopped and turned around.

"Did you go to dad's office after the party?" he asked. 

Oh s**t.

I forgot.

Dad is gonna be soooooo mad!!

"I take it you didn't," he said sighing. "Go now or you will be a dead man by tomorrow," he said shaking his head.

He slipped out of the room as I got off the bed, making my way to dad's office. Dad's office was on the third floor and no one was allowed there. The office and the master bedroom were the only rooms on that floor. My room along with Allesandro's, Kanha's and Adriano's was in the second room along with five guest rooms. On the first floor, we had everything you can think of. Be it a game room, theatre, library, just everything. And what I just told you about was our 1st wing only. There are a total of 6 wings in our house. The east wing was of the waiters, cleaners, maids, washers, gardeners, just everyone who helped us keep our home clean.

I quickly knocked on the door, wiping my sweaty hands on my pyjamas. I heard a light 'come in' as I walked in. The office was very spacious, with a brown and black theme, some of the rich wood smell entering my nose. I have come to love this smell now over the years.

My father stopped writing. Dropping the pen, he leaned back motioning towards the seat asking me to sit.

I quickly sat down staring at my father in anticipation.

"You are three hours thirty-nine minutes late," dad said glancing towards his watch on his left hand. Oh, and did I tell you he does not like tardiness at all? If I didn't then let me tell you he does not like unpunctual people. At all.

"Sorry, Papa. I forgot" I said timidly looking at the intertwined hands on my lap. "I am letting it slide since it is your birthday. But this kind of behaviour is not tolerated and you know it. Just don't do it again," he said surprising me. I looked up with a surprised expression and quickly apologised.

Phew!!

A close call!

My father quickly retrieved a Manila folder from a drawer and slid it towards me. 

What is it?

I quickly opened it. There were pictures of a restaurant, looking very unused and even dirty. No one would like to eat there. Many ideas erupted in my brain on how it can be made better.

But what does my father wants from me? My brows furrowed as I looked up with questioning eyes.

"I have bought the restaurant and it is yours from now on," he said finally. "Since you have graduated and don't know what you want to do, you will focus on this restaurant and expand the business. I am not forcing you. If you don't want it and want to do something else, you can" he said with a knowing smile 

He knows I love business. 

I love it.

"Thank you!!" I squealed as practically jumped on my father, squeezing the life out of him. I kissed him on the cheek while there was a big smile plastered on my face.

I am so so so good damn much happy and excited that I can't even explain it!! Even my inner voice was squealing, jumping up and down like a schoolgirl. I can't blame her though. She is a mini-me.

"Control control," he said with a chuckle, shaking his head. "But there is one thing you need to follow," he said with his usual no-time-for-bullshit look.

"Huh?" I asked confused. What do I need to follow?

"You won't be showing your face to anyone," he said. "What I am trying to say is that you know how we have a lot of enemies and our name is known by almost everyone. So, if you continue doing business with your current name, it will be very easy for the enemies to track you, to track our whereabouts. So you will change your name to Sana Rose for business. Also, you have to hide your face whenever you are being Sana Rose. The world can't know about how Ms. rose looks like." He said. "After business, you can be Sana Rossi and live the life the way you want to. I know you are more than capable of protecting yourself but what if. Just what if something happened and you were not in the position of saving yourself and I or your brothers were not there to protect you? It is just for safety. Please try to understand that." He almost pleaded.

He wants me to be someone else while doing business? Change my name? Hide my face? Is he being serious? But then again it is too big of an opportunity to miss out on.

'Sana, you will be mysterious to the world. No one will know who you are, but still, respect you. You love doing business and you can even do it without your privacy being invaded. You can live your life as a normal patron besides business. You can party without the fear of press!!" My inner voice exclaimed in a desperate tone wanting me to take upon the offer.

Can I live my life?

Yes

Still, do business?

Yep

Will my privacy be invaded?

Nope

Fear of press?

Nope

Become filthy rich?

Yeah.....if I work hard enough

Can I do whatever I want?

Yep

Then I made the best decision of my life, which changed my life completely for the better.

I agreed
