"Amelia, you will stick to your security team and will not wonder. We will  not have a repeat of last night." Alexander said to me but it sounded like he was speaking to all of us.

After talking with my brothers last night, a part of me feels betrayed by Teresa. I mean she could have given me a heads up if she was going to tell my brothers. I understand her being concerned but still. Maybe she was concerned?

"I mean she is my best friend." I say, giving her the benefit of the doubt.

Today is the day I graduate then after is my graduation party. My graduation ceremony starts at 9:30 am and ends at 1:00 pm. My party starts at 3 pm Teresa, Rosa, my brothers, also some extended family and maybe some of my brothers' business partners will be attending. My brothers and I arrive at my graduation, there are fifteen minutes until the ceremony starts. We part ways, my brothers go to find their seats while I am preparing backstage with my classmates. My classmates are giving me even weirder looks if that is possible... I guess they notice my now four bodyguards. My new bodyguards' names are Evan, Robert, and Leo. Evan has a more overly muscular build in my opinion, blue eyes, and short blonde hair. He might be in his thirties. Robert looks to be in his early thirties with brown eyes and dirty blonde hair, he has a more muscular build. While Leo seems to be in his late twenties, has blue eyes, and long black hair, and for his build, he is more on the skinner side. This makes me wonder why my brothers chose him...?

"Places everyone! We are about to start!" Said one of the advisers.

Graduation Party:

"We are so proud of you, little Amelia." My aunt Ashley said while my uncle Allen nodded. I smiled back at them not sure what to say. I hate having all of this attention on me.

"Are you going to work for your brother's now? Do you have a job lined up?" My other uncle Micah asked. I have to admit that Uncle Micah was a very intimidating man.

"Um well no. I am going to start working at St. Francis Day School as a preschool teacher's aid in two days." I said trying not to seem too nervous.

"Good." He simply said and walked away. I decided to rest my legs and just observe the party. It looks like everyone is having a blast. Men and women are dancing, laughing, and eating. I am not a party person, I get too anxious around a large group of people even if it is family. As I was observing the party I noticed an unfamiliar man with a silver and black box walking towards me. I tried to think if I knew him or not but he didn't seem familiar.

"Amelia Xander?" The man asked.

"Uhuh yes. . . Why?" Should I be talking to him? Maybe I should get one of my brothers.

"Here." The man shoved the small silver and black box into my lap and then walked off. I looked at the box to see if it would say who it was from but it had no card. I looked to see if the man was still at the party but he completely vanished.  I carefully unwrapped the box and opened it. I gasped at what I saw. In the box is a silver encrusted chain necklace that spells out printesa. I pick up a beautiful necklace and just gaze at the beauty. I get out of my trance and finally put the necklace on, grab the small box, and go to the restroom to see how it looks on me. It was perfect. I notice a card sticking out of the box. I pull the card out to see a note written on it:

To my printesa. Congratulations & I wish you the best on your special day. I will see you seen. - N. Pavel

Pavel...? Wait, from the club we had that heated moment together. How did he find out about me? I don't know whether this situation is romantic or creepy. I read the note again and couldn't help but smile the note was very sweet of him but the necklace was too much honestly. We just met and it wouldn't be right of me to accept this necklace. But then again he did give it to me for a graduation present. . . The devil on my shoulder said. I couldn't help but agree with it too...

"Hey Ammy! What's wrong? Not in the partying mood?" I saw Teresa come into the restroom and walk over to me.

"Oh no. I just needed some air. You know how I am with a large group of people." I said giving her a half of a smile.

"Do you want me to get one of your brothers?" I nodded my head no. Is she gonna tell my brothers this too? And we both headed out of the restroom.

After Party:

"Did you have a great time at the party, Lia?" Max asked. Alex, Max, Teresa, and I are back at the house. My other brothers were called in from some type of emergency meeting after the party had ended.

"Yeah, it was nice. Y'all know how I am at parties." They all nodded their heads. I couldn't help but think about what that note said. I will see you soon. - N. Pavel. Do I want to see him? Yes, yes I do. Something about him calmed me plus I had to admit he was hot.

"Hey! Helllloo! Earth to Ammy!" Teresa was waving her hands in my face. I must have zoned out.

"Are you okay, Amelia? Or are you just tired?" Alex asked

"I'm just really tired. Today has been a long day for me, I guess." I am not tired but I have other things on my mind. More like someone. I said goodnight to everyone and headed up to my room. After I change into my pajamas I get into bed. I just can't help but think about N. Pavel. Who is this mysterious N. Pavel? I wondered as I drifted into dreamland.
