The Princess and the Devil✔️

32

We walked hand in hand to the door with everyone. We came to the door with a guard in front. Sydney grabbed my arm and slightly moved behind me. I looked at her confused but I took my arm from her grasp and put it around her shoulder protectively.

"Invitation," said the guard. Sean handed ours to him as Sydney stayed pressed against me. The guard nodded in approval. He was about to let us through when he saw Sydney. He looked down at her before speaking again "Do I know you miss?" he asked her.

I looked down at her to see her eyes widened and she quickly shook her head. "No sir" she whispered just loud enough for him to here.

He looked at her strangely for a moment but let it go and let us through. Entering the house she blew out a breath of relief. "You okay Tesoro?" Chris asked her.

She looked back at him, She smiled and nodded. "Of course, why wouldn't I be?"

We continued walking to the back of the house where there was a ballroom. I stopped Sydney at the entrance and spoke softly in her ear. "I know something's up with you but I don't know why. Would you like to enlighten me?"

She pulled away slightly. "I don't know what you're talking about." she smiled at me.

"Don't lie to me princess," I said in a way that meant she shouldn't lie to me.

She looked me straight in the eyes, slightly challenging me. "I'm not lying, now are we going to stand here all night or are we going to go and enjoy the party?"

I sighed but grabbed her hand softly and walked us into the party. Letting go of my hand, she grabbed two glasses of champagne from a passing waiter, handing one to me. I accepted it and we both took a sip.

"C'mon there's some people I want you to meet," I said after finishing my drink. I grabbed her hand and started guiding her another way.

I led her over to a man and woman who immediately made her stop. "Jason who are they?" she asked sounding nervous and slightly scared.

I stared at her strangely. "My parents. You're doing it again, what's wrong?"

"N-nothing it's just why do I have to meet your parents?" she asked trying to find a way out of it. 

"My mom wanted to meet you, now c'mon." I pulled her to them. My father was an identical copy of me just older and that's the only thing I admit having in common with him, and my mother had long brown hair with gray hair and the same eyes as me. My mother was always my role model growing up while my father never really was around. When I turned old enough he trained me into the killer I am the monster I am today. I resent him for that.

"Jason darling, it's so good to see you again." said my mother, Stephanie.

"Mother." I smiled and hugged her. I then nodded at my father. "Father."

"Son.. and who is this?" he looked her up and down in a disapproving manner.

I put my arm around Sydney's waist. "This is Sydney Fields, Sydney these are my parents Stephanie and Craig."

"Umm it's Black actually, it's nice to meet you both," she said nervously. "Can I go find Chris?" she whispered to me. I nodded reluctantly.

"You look really familiar, have we met?" my father asked Sydney.

"N-no I don't believe so," she said and started to step away nervously.

"Wait a second." my mother said, she looked at her intently before gasping. "Annelise?"

she sighed. "Merda... hi Mrs. Steph." my mother laughed and wrapped her arms around Sydney.

"Oh thank the lord, you're okay," she said as she gently grabbed Sydney's face in her hands.

"What are you talking about Stephanie?" asked My father.

"It's Annelise Di Medici." replied My mother.

He looked at her in recognition and then disgust. "You're the Summers boy's whore."

My mother slapped his arm. "Craig!"

"What she is, now look shes after our boy now. She-"

"I am no one's whore, nor was I ever. I never wanted any of it." Sydney snapped.

My father rolled his eyes. "You fucked members of every gang everytime you were in town. You still the same slut you have always been"

"I never did any of that by choice. I did what I had to do to survive. You can call me a lot of things but I was never a slut." she snapped. With that, she walked away.
