"Anika, wake up"
"Go away"
Anika grumbled and pushed Sadie off her body and covered her head with the duvet.
Sadie frowned and climbed the bed again "Anika, it's seven in the morning, you promised to accompany me shopping last week"
Anika groaned and sat up with dissatisfaction on her face "is that why you're waking me up at this sinful hour of the day"
Sadie rolled her eyes and scoffed "oh please, you've never been an early bird, now get up let's go on a spree, I'm inviting Xena"
Anika spat out the hair in her mouth and got off the bed, not caring to fix her bed hair
Sadie watched with a pout as Anika stripped and walked into the bathroom
—————————————–————–
The door creaked open and a woman entered the study room and walked towards the man busy signing contracts "any luck?"
The man sighed "no, I haven't found her, If I don't this guilt will keep eating me"
The woman hugged him "don't be like that Romano we'll find our daughter, I promise"
—————————————–————–
"Any luck?"
The man looked down in fright "n..no", a gunshot was heard followed by a chuckle
"That sly bitch is good at hiding"
—————————————–————–
Sadie was chatting and yapping on and on about the cute guy she met once at the Friday night party Anika always refused to attend.
"And he refused to give me his number, can you imagine? He actually rejected me! Sadie Christiano!"
Anika continued to eat her sandwich while mentally blocking her ears till someone snatched her breakfast
She looked up and saw the grin in Jason's face "give it back"
Jason took a huge bite of it and licked the bread before giving her back. Anika cringed and gave him the sandwich "on second thought, you keep that, eat it or donate it, your choice"
"Hello I'm talking here" Sadie said with a disapproving tone at her brother's interruption
Just then Oliver raced down the stairs with a smile on his face "Draco is finally coming back from Russia tomorrow"
Anika looked at him in shock, it's been years since she last saw him, she was just ten when he took over the Empire in Russia, it's been nine years
Sadie beamed "finally a big brother to show off in public"
Jason frowned "what do you mean, I'm hot and sexy as fuck, every lady wants to lick me-"
Anika shoved peanuts into his mouth to choke him and he swallowed his remaining words
"You're ruthless Anika" Jason said with a choke and she shrugged
Ding ding
"I'll get it" Oliver said and walked to the door, he opened it and immediately he saw a stunned Xena at the door struggling to speak "I...um... shopping....me...Sadie..."
Oliver gave her a look and left the door way to let her in, Xena entered and immediately ran to hug Anika "my baby, I've missed you"
"Hey I'm here too, and didn't you guys meet yesterday"
Sadie pouted as she said this
"That was yesterday, today is a brand new day" Xena said with a grin
Anika chuckled and brushed her hair from her face
"I love your short hair Anika, it's like I should cut mine too but-" Xena didn't finish because Oliver Interrupted
"Don't cut it, it's beautiful, bangs fit you"
Xena turned into a red over ripe tomato and coughed to hide it
"Can we go now, I would rather keep on sleeping than being here" Anika said impatiently and Sadie dragged both she and Xena out of there
"Which mall are we going to" Xena asked curiously
"My favourites of courses" Sadie replied and Xena scoffed "you have a lot of favourite malls"
"That's why i said my favourites, we are going to every mall in the city" Sadie said excitedly but Anika and Xena groaned
—————————————–————–
"Anika don't just stand there, pick something" Sadie said with her hands full of bags
Xena had few bags in her hand while Anika had none
"I don't have time for this" Anika said grudgingly and Sadie dropped her bags and walked towards her "I asked you to pick something so pick something"
Anika tilted her head and scoffed "you Can't intimidate me Sadie, I'm not nine anymore"
Anika said and walked away but paused at the VIP room entrance "hurry up, the driver wouldn't leave without you"
Anika left and Sadie groaned "I seriously don't understand Anika sometimes"
Xena shrugged her shoulders "Anika is unpredictable, you should know that by now"
Xena and Sadie left the room but gasped when they saw the commotion outside, Anika was standing with ink across her face and clothes
A lady and a girl were standing opposite her
"You ugly pauper, How dare you talk to me like that"
Anika didn't reply and just stared at her, the woman was agitated and was about to slap her but Anika held the wrist "if your palm meets my face that will be the last thing they'll do"
The woman frowned at her, Anika shoved her aside harshly and she fell
"Sister!" The girl beside her bent to hold her hand "are you okay?"
"I'm fine Kyla don't you worry"
The girl who's name was Kyla stood up and matched to the gloomy Anika, upon seeing this Sadie ran forward to stop her but got hit by her.
The sound was loud and Crisp, before Sadie could tell in anger for being hit, Kyla was already on the floor holding her arm in pain
Sadie gasped and threw up seeing the way the arm was bent in a inhumanly way.
"Kyla!!" The woman screamed and looked at Anika in rage "do you know who we are, we are the Daniels how dare you!"
Anika tilted her head "Daniels?"
The woman smirked "yes the most powerful-"
"Haven't heard of it" Anika interrupted her and walked away
"You little bitch, you'll pay for this" the woman yelled but Anika rolled her eyes as she left the mall
Sadie glanced at Kyla who was whimpering in pain "bitch" she spat on her and ran after Anika "Anika wait up"
Xena sighed and followed after glancing at the two girls.
