The Princess and the Devil✔️

"Aaahhh" I ran and jumped into Chris's arms. " Dio mio I can't believe you are here.(oh my god)" I squealed

"è stata per sempre. I can't believe it's been what? 12 years?(it has been forever)" he laughed.

" I've missed you so much"

"I missed you too dolcezza(sweetie)"

"Umm what's going on here?" said an angry Jason.

I turned in Chris's arms to see Jason glaring at him. I raised an eyebrow. "What's the matter with you?" I asked.

His jaw clenched as he said "Well I don't like seeing my girl in another man's arms"

I dropped out of Chris's arms before turning to Jason. Hands on my hips and lips pursed I spoke. " first of all, I am not your girl. Second Chris is my best friend from back home. And third I don't take orders from men like you, not anymore."

He looked confused for a second before his glare hardened.  "whether you like it or not, you are my girl."

I rolled my eyes. " definitely not by choice, given that you BOUGHT ME"

"Wait your parents sold you?" Chris asked confused. " I would never think they would do something like that"

I turned back to Chris tilting my head confused. " what do you mean my parents Chris?"

" what do you mean?" he asked more confused.

" Chris m-my parents are dead." His eyes widened. " they died a week after we came to America. Connor and I have been in foster care ever since"

His face paled and became sympathetic. " Mi dispiace dolcezza( I'm sorry sweetie)"

I shook my head and gave him a small smile. " It's okay Chris it was a long time ago."

"Well I'm glad you two were able to have a little reunion but we've got a meeting to go to." Said Jason.

I turned and glared at him. " fine" I then grabbed Chris's hand and stormed out of the house to the cars.

" well I think you made the boss man hate me. " chuckled Chris.

" well, he's a little cagna( bitch)" He laughed and we got into the car and waited for everyone else.

The car ride there I was talking to Chris, much to Jason's disapproval. When we arrived at the club we were immediately ushered in and brought to the VIP office room.

"Ah, Mr. King welcome. Would you like a drink?" said the man in the boss chair. He was around 45 years old with a bald spot and a beer belly. He had a glass of what looked like whiskey in one hand and a cigar in the other.

" cut the pleasantries, Miguel, we are here to talk business," said Jason with a business tone.

" but of course sit, sit and let us talk." he motioned to the chairs in front of him.

Jason immediately pulled me by my waist onto his lap. "No" I snapped in a hushed tone.

"There are no other seats princess but feel free to stand" he let me off his lap.

I smirked at him. " oh I have no intention of standing." and I went over to Chris and sat on his lap, which made Jason glare. Chris wrapped his arms around me and put his head on my shoulder.

"Alright let's get started. Mr. King, why have you called this meeting?"

Jason took his eyes off of us and looked Miguel. "The last three shipments have been less than what we bargained for. You're costing me money Miguel and I don't like losing money."

He started to look scared. "Of course not. You m-must be mistaken."

I rolled my eyes and stood up. Everyone looked at me. "I have no clue why I was dragged here but I'm bored." I grabbed Madi off of Sean's lap. "So we are getting a drink. If that's alright with you?" I asked Miguel.

"By all means. Drinks are on the house."

I smiled and turned to leave. With my hand on the door handle, Jason spoke. "No Sydney. You are not leaving."

I spun around. "And I don't take orders from you." I glared. He glared back and we had a stare down for a good minute before he spoke up again.

"Chris go with them and watch her." Chris stood up and nodded. Jason whispered something in his ear before letting us go.

When we got out of the room I asked Chris "what did he say to you?"

He laughed. "Not to let another man touch you."

I laughed as we got to the bar. We ordered some shots and I held one up. "Let the fun begin." we drowned the shots and I grabbed another.

Time to forget for a while...
