Chapter Three
Miranda
It was finally the day of my traveling to New York!! I was so excited because I would be out of this spotlight for a while!!
"Mir give daddy a call the moment you land, okay???" I think it was already hundred times dad asked me that.
"Yes I will!!! And yes mom I'll be careful and I won't leave my bodyguard's side that I will receive after I go to New York!! I have all the information!!! Now can I go??"
I mean I was just leaving for a month. What was so big of a deal about it!!!?? To all workers, mom would be like a stuck up lady but when you had too much money you were bound to be like that. But she actually loved me sincerely as I was the smallest of the house.
Mom started crying in dad's shoulder. WHAT THE HELL??? She was the first person who wanted me out of the house for a month!! Why was she crying then!!!??
"Hey old lady!! I'm going for a month not for forever!! You don't have to cry for that!!" I freaked out. Duh!!! Anyone would freak out seeing her mother cry like that but she was crying for something else..... Which was-----
"Of course that's the reason I'm crying!!!! You are going for only a month. That means I get only 1 month with your dad!!! Alonee!!!!" She started crying really hard again. Dad pat her back looking very proud.
What the fuck had I done to get this type of stuck up parents!!!?? I rolled my eyes at them and left them for their so called unlimited honeymoon!!
***
"Ma'am will you be really okay there without us??" I forgot to mention I was not taking any bodyguards with me from here and James made a real fuss about it after he again got back to my service. I would be traveling to New York alone by plane because I didn't have any life threats currently.
"I'll be alright James!! Why don't you take care of my family while I'm away??" I gave James a reassuring smile but still he gave me a worrisome nod.
"You'll get wrinkles on your forehead if you keep worrying like that!!" I flicked James forehead with my fingers. Well I knew it was really unladylike but come on did I really care about my image?? Answer was a big NO!!!
James smiled at me. "I'll miss you, Miranda!!!" That was the good part about him. He always treated me like his sister.
I waved at my bodyguards goodbye and went inside the airport alone!! This fricking felt unreal!!
It was kind of 24 hours long journey because there were checking and all, also the flight was about 21 hours 46 minutes!! It was expected that I would get a ticket of business class, I didn't mind that. I didn't hate my fortune totally but I hated those huge attentions!!
"Can I see your ticket please!!" Was it just me or these air hostesses look breathtakingly beautiful?? I mean look at those economical air hostesses.... Pretty much average. Money did come with perks!!!
"Yeah sure!!" I handed her over my ticket. "This is your seat." And she pointed a seat right in front of me. See daddy I could handle myself better. It was easy. I reached at my seat and literally groaned with annoyance!!
I would call it a cliche but there would always be a guy looking all arrogant and rich who would want his side seat empty so he could flaunt his power!! A guy like that was my seat partner and I was pretty much sure he would call an air hostess to yell about this sitting arrangements!!!
And that was exactly what happened!!!
***
It had been almost 10 minutes that this bullshit guy started fussing, but the most intriguing part was that it was all a pretense!! He actually wanted me beside him!!
I couldn't help but chuckle. I put my hand on his shoulder and he glared at my hand but I didn't move my hand.
"Listen mate!! If you have soo much problem sitting with me then sit somewhere else.... There's lots of empty sits in here!!" I told him showing around me.
"And stop making so much drama!!! Put all these acts between your legs and scram from here!!" I whisper yelled at him.
At these moments, I always wished I didn't have my mind reading ability because I could read his filthy thoughts which was really unpleasant!!
"How dare you talk to me like that??? Do you know wh-"
"Oh did I hurt your EGO?? I don't want to know who you are!!! But make sure you search McMillan before you tell anything else to me!!" I whispered that last part in his ear and I could tell that hit him really hard.
Inside he wanted to slap me but outside he was terrified of me!! So he just bowed to me and took another sit far from me. It was obvious because no one was as powerful as McMillan in Australia now!!
"I don't know what you told that guy but I really liked your confidence!!" The air hostess smiled at me brightly and left for her seat because the plane was about to take off.
I could understand now why people wanted power so much!!! If I wanted I could destroy that guy's whole existence in a snap of my finger. Mentioning my name was enough for him to scram!!! I never thought I would thanks daddy for this title!! But here I am feeling grateful for it. I opened a Rom-com book and started reading it!! Of course I'm a typical romantic book type of girl and I'm not ashamed of it at all!!
***
After this almost 22 hours journey I stretched my back. It started to ache after sitting for soo long!! Finally at New York huh?? I smirked looking around me!!
I waited to pick my bag and it finally arrived from that baggage carousel. I was just about to take the exit but I stopped to check my phone. I turned off the airplane mode and boom!!!
32 missed calls!!!! 40 massages!!!
"Dad??" I called him immediately!! Was everything alright?? I mean no one sane would give you this many missed calls when your at a flight!!
"Mirrr!!! Why didn't you pick up the call??? I was about to send James there!!! " Huh!! What the hell is dad talking??
Suddenly mom's voice filled the phone, "Baby are you alright??? If you are please confirm because I can't spend my time peacefully here!!" I apologize for thinking mom was concerned about me!! I rolled my eyes at her comment!!
"Princesssss!!! Are you alright!!" I had to move my phone away from ear because James yelled so loudly oh my God!!!
"Seeesshhh!!!!! I am not dead you guys!!! What's with all these reactions??" I sighed at their behavior. God I wasn't a child!! Why did they always treated me like some kind of delicate flower???
"Oh you're fine?? Okay then goodbye!!!" I heard mom saying indifferently. God she was soo one headed!!! I heard dad yelling like he wanted to talk as well as James but who could win with a stuck up woman like my mom!!
I checked few massages after cutting the call. Few were from Melisandre and Roe.
Roe: "Wish to see you soon little monkey!! I'll be arriving at New York tomorrow!!"
What the fuck??? Wasn't it suppose to be my all alone travel vacation?? I felt like someone cut my wings just now!! I could clearly see Roe's satisfied smirk through his massage!! Damn I wanted to kill him!!
Melisandre: "Hey baby sister!!! I'll be seeing you soon. I'm arriving tomorrow at New York!! Can't wait to squash you under me!!"
What the hell!!! It was my spotlight less vacation!!! How did it become super spotlight full vacation!!???
I could almost see my freedom flying away!! No my freedom.... Come back!!! I wanted to cryy!!!!
"I hate you dad!!!!" I screamed!! All the people around me halted at their spot and was looking at me like I was some kind of an animal freed from the zoo!!
I stomped out from airport and went to my hotel. I was fucking furious!!
