Anastasia Andrew- he only daughter, the princess of the empire.A middle school student at the same prestigious school, smart, sweet, and adored by everyone.
That’s all about the Andrews - for now.Now, let’s step into their world.
Follow closely; the ride is never smooth.
Alexander
”Young Master!, Young Master, Please wake up!,” the maids chanted beside my bedside.
”Leave me alone, I want to sleep”, I growled, my voice thick and irritated.
”Young master, please, your parents will soon come down and be in the dining room very soon, and you know the rules that all of you must always eat together”, one maid whispered nervously.
My eyes snapped open.
”How dare you remind me?” I hissed.“You are fired.”
The maid dropped to her knees instantly, trembling.
”I am so sorry, Young Master. Please-”
“Ten minutes,” I said coldly. “Pack your things and leave…. unless you want me to remind you what I can do.”
She scrambled out of the room, neary tripping over her own feet.
“Slippers,” I said.
Another maid rushed forward to place them under my feet.
“Is my bath water prepared?” I said
“Yes, Sir, it is”, one of the maids replied.
“Okay, you all may leave”, I said.
”Young master, won’t you need help in bathing yourself?” A maid dared to ask.
I smirked darkly.
“oh, I need help. Come here.”
She stepped closer.
And I slapped her - hard.
“Get out. And never look at me with those lust-filled eyes again.”
She ran out crying.
Inside the Bathroom
I entered the bathroom and scanned the entire place for any hidden cameras — those maids could be dangerous. From a secured cabinet that only I could unlock, I retrieved a special device and used it to sweep the bathroom once more. When I confirmed there was nothing suspicious, I moved to the sink to brush my teeth. After brushing, I stepped into the bathtub soaking my self in the steaming water, and let the hot water ease the tension from my muscles.
After bathing, I wrapped a towel around my waist, unlocked the bathroom door, and stepped out. I walked into my underwear closet and selected the boxer briefs and singlet I wanted to wear. After putting them on, I went to my shirt and tee compartment and chose a white shirt. Then I headed to my trousers and shorts section and picked a pair of gray cargo pants.
Fully dressed, I moved to my socks and shoes collection, choosing white ankle socks and gray Crocs. Finally, I went to my dressing table to select my jewelry — a silver bracelet and a matching silver necklace.
I carried a white cross bag, and I left the room without picking up my iPhone 17 pro-max. I didn’t need distractions this morning.
The Dining Room
As I descended the grand staircase, the aroma of freshly baked pastries and rich cocoa filled the air.The maids were lined up in perfect formation, heads bowed. The head chef stood at the front, waiting for approval.
“Morning mum, Morning dad”, I greeted as I made my way towards them.
“You are late, mum said sharply.
“Sorry, mum and dad”, I replied.
”Where is your sister?” Dad asked.
”I don’t know, the last time I saw her was last night”, I replied.Just then, Anastasia raced down the stairs with the energy of a thousand suns.
“Good morning, family”, Ana greeted with a warm smile, not without pecking mum and dad on their cheeks.
“You are late, ” Mum scolded.
“Sorry for keeping you guys waiting, Mr ice, won’t you at least peck your little sister?” She teased.
“ Why should I?”
She rolled her eyes dramatically.
Dad sighed. “Ana, bless the food.”
”In Jesus’ name, Father, we thank you for this food, and we thank you for provision, Father. Receive our thanks in Jesus’ name. Father Lord, please bless this our food in Jesus’ name”, Ana prayed.
”Amen in Jesus’ name”, everyone said.
”So, can you serve us right now?” Mum said, gesturing to the chef.
Before the chef served the food, he tasted everything on the table; that is the rule in my house, so that people won’t plan our death.
The chef served the food, and we started eating.
But just as breakfast began , a maid rushed in, breathless.
“Sir…. the driver just received a call from Glittering Diamonds School. They said -”She paused, swallowing hard.
”They said there’s been… an incident.”And the dining room froze.
