Ch. 22 Have a lovely slumber
Mia shyly walks behind Holly and Poppy to her bedroom. Her chocolate brown eyes blinked when she sees her two maids stopped walking and standing beside a closed door.
" Here is your bedroom, Lady Thermopolis," Holly kindly tells Mia while Poppy opens the door to reveal the room to the young teen.
Mia nods her head, and she walks up to Holly and Poppy. She then turns to her bedroom, and her mouth drops when she sees her room for the first time.
" It's beautiful! And I know it is nighttime, but I can see the beach from my bedroom," Mia gasped as she enters her room, and she looks at her surroundings in awe.
" In case you need to use the bathroom, it is right over there," Holly motioned to Poppy, who is opening the door to the bathroom.
Mia turns to Holly and Poppy, and she walks towards the bathroom. She then stands between her two maids, and she gasped when she sees her bathroom for the first time.
" Are you sure this is where I am going to be sleeping?" Mia asked Holly and Poppy.
Holly and Poppy nod their heads in response.
" No fucking way! I feel as though I am living at a fucking beach resort!" Mia shouts, and she held her arms out to Holly and Poppy.
" Pinch me! I think I am dreaming," Mia asked Holly and Poppy.
Poppy obeyed, and she pinched Mia's arm, causing the young teen to jump in surprised.
" Ow!" Mia shouts.
" Poppy," Holly turns her gaze to her friend and co-worker.
" What? Lady Thermopolis said to pinch her," Poppy bluntly tells Holly.
Mia akwardly laughs, and her chocolate brown eyes blinked when she hears someone knocking. She then turns around, and she blushes when she sees two handsome men leaning against the doorframe of her bedroom.
" Hello, Lady Thermopolis. My name is Emmanuel Kennedy," Emmanuel flirtatiously winks at Mia.
Mia shyly stared at her feet, feeling and looking overwhelmed since she is standing in front of many attractive people.
" My partner, Alastor Wilson, and I are going to be in charge of looking after you. So, if you need me to bury a body for you, I am your guy," Emmanuel smirks at Mia.
Mia lifts her head, and she blushes, looking and feeling shocked that Emmanuel would bury a body for her.
" No need for that! And look after me? I am sixteen. I don't need a babysitter," Mia firmly tells Emmanuel.
" Fiesty, I love her already," Emmanuel speaks to Alastor and chuckles.
" I can tell that you can look after yourself," Alastor kindly smiled at Mia. " However, your Uncle knows a lot of people. And some of them can use you and your sister as his weakness," The older male honestly tells the young teen.
Mia silently stared at Alastor.
" You can still be yourself, but Emmanuel and I will always look after you from the shadows. Consider us, your shadows-" Alastor was about to finish his sentence, but Emmanuel cuts him off.
"-That can bite and kill people," Emmanuel winks at Mia.
" Um. Good to know," Mia akwardly laughs, and she yawns, which Holly noticed.
" Lady Thermopolis needs her beauty rest. So, gentlemen, can you leave the room and close the door," Holly kindly smiled at Emmanuel and Alastor.
" Of course," Alastor nods his head, and he drags Emmanuel out of the room by the arm.
" Sweet dreams, Little Princess," Emmanuel winks at Mia, and he lets Alastor drag him out of the room.
Mia blushes when she hears Emmanuel nickname her 'Little Princess.'
" Is Emmanuel always this-," Mia turns her gaze to Holly and Poppy.
" Scary?" Holly asked.
" Insane?" Poppy asked.
Mia didn't know if she should agree with Holly or with Poppy, but she merely nods her head.
" I am going to sleep. But, sadly, I don't have any pajamas," Mia mumbled.
" I suggest you brush your teeth first," Holly kindly smiled at Mia.
" You can leave the rest to us," Poppy gently pushed Mia to the bathroom so that the young teen can brush her teeth and clean up for her slumber.
" Good thing, Santiago, sent us, Annalise, and Rosalba to the mall so that we can buy all of Lady Thermopolis and Lady Renaldi's clothing," Holly whispers as she and Poppy begin to prepare for Mia's beauty sleep.
" I still wonder how he was able to get their exact measurements," Poppy whispers.
" Santiago is a mysterious fellow," Holly mumbled as she and Poppy laid Mia's pajamas on the bed.
Twenty minutes later, Mia stepped out of the bathroom with her face and teeth cleaned. She then looked forward, and her chocolate brown eyes widened when she sees Holly and Poppy standing to the side with pajamas laid on the bed.
" Where did you get these pajamas?" Mia asked as she walks towards the bed, and she grabs the pajamas.
" Your Uncle bought it for you," Holly kindly tells Mia as Poppy nods her head.
" Oh! I need to thank him when I see him tomorrow," Mia happily smiled.
" Have a lovely slumber. If you need Poppy and me, you can use that phone over there to call us," Holly points to a house phone on the nightstand.
" Thank you. Have a good evening," Mia softly smiled at Holly and Poppy as the two maids leave the bedroom.
Mia looks down at her pajamas, feeling and looking touched that Oliver bought these clothes for her. She then takes her clothes off, and she puts on her pajamas.
" It feels nice and comfortable," Mia whispers as she twirls herself in front of a rectangular mirror.
" Am I selfish that I am glad that I won't be going to school tomorrow and instead get to know my big sister?" Mia softly asked herself as she walks towards the bed, and she lies down.
Mia silently stared at the ceiling, still feeling surprised to learn that she now has a big sister and a big family through her birth father, Phillipe.
' Dad. I know we didn't have a close relationship, but thank you for sending Aurora and Uncle Ollie to me,' Mia softly tells herself as she turns off the light and she goes to sleep.
While Mia got to know her maids and bodyguards, Oliver carried Aurora to her bedroom with Santiago and his eldest niece's maids and bodyguards following him.
They soon reached the bedroom, and Santiago opens the door for Oliver, who stepped inside the room.
" Annalise. Rosalba. Please take good care of Aurora for me," Oliver kindly asked Annalise and Rosalba as he gently placed Aurora on the bed.
" Yes, sir," Annalise and Rosalba formally bowed as Oliver, Santiago, and Aurora's bodyguards leave the room so that the maids can tend to the sleeping princess.
Santiago closed the door, and he then turns his gaze to Oliver and Aurora's bodyguards.
" Jaxon. Hugo," Oliver turns his gaze to Aurora's bodyguards.
Jaxon and Hugo silently stared at Oliver.
" Aurora has gone through a lot, so make sure you take good care of her. I trust you two with my oldest niece's life," Oliver firmly tells Jaxon and Hugo.
" If someone touches a hair on Lady Renaldi's head, I will make sure to break their hand," Hugo softly speaks to Oliver.
" And I will help Hugo bury the body since the bloke would kill the individual if they make Lady Renaldi cry," Jaxon firmly tells Oliver.
Santiago glanced at Hugo, and he could already imagine the poor individual who made Aurora cry getting interrogated, tortured, and then killed by the silent lad.
Oliver softly smiled at Jaxon and Hugo as he bid them good night. He then walks away to his office with Santiago since he has to make some important phone calls.
