Downfall Of The Royal Bitchness

Emerald's POV

BRAYNK!! BRAYNK!! BRAYNK!!

The irritating sound of the alarm clock woke me up at six a.m.

"ERGGGGH..." I groaned, covering my ears with my pillow, waiting for the alarm to stop and change to    Shawn Mendes song, There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back, to play.

The song played and when the beat turned faster, I was wide awake and out of bed. I was dancing and singing on my way to the shower. I just love singing. Music is life for me.

After I showered for thirty minutes, I stood inside my two-story closet, with my arms clasped together under my chest and my foot tapping on the floor. I was wearing a white robe and a towel wrapped around my wet hair.

I heaved a long impatient sigh. I was there for nearly fifteen minutes trying to pick a dress but could not decide which one. "Ugh! I should go shopping. I don't have a dress to wear in the office anymore." I rolled my eyes and picked the all white business suit, with a thin shiny gold belt.

If you think picking a dress was hard, picking shoes was harder. Because it should match the bag. I spent another fifteen minutes picking among the choices. I settled on my white five inch stiletto shoes and white Hermès Birkin bag.

Doing my hair and makeup took me another thirty minutes. I wanted my hair perfect and my face looking so fresh and flawless, like that of a cover magazine. I had a room full of    high end brands of makeups. Tons of foundations, concealers... eyeshadow palettes, contour kits, blushes, highlighters, lipsticks and others, to achieve the look I wanted everyday.

At exactly eight in the morning, I was already in the breakfast table with my parents and my fourteen year old sister, Crystal. The same time, I had with them almost every morning for the past twenty two years of my existence.

"Good morning!" My dad, Eros Petrakis greeted me. We went to the same office, at the Petrakis Building every morning and at the same time. We used to ride in the same car to the office, when I started working in our company six months ago. But after a month, I insisted to have my own car and driver. Why? Because he kept on asking about my private life! Who I was dating, if I have a boyfriend, who was that guy who commented on my Facebook post, the guy I had a picture with in my Instagram account and other things. He even played matchmaker between me and his business partner's son!

"Good morning." I anwered, kissing him, then mom and Crystal.

"Zion called early this morning. He said he has an important client for you this afternoon. Make sure that you're free." Dad said, after sipping his black coffee. From the look of his too dilated pupils, I guessed it was his third cup already. He just loved mom's coffee.

"He's back to work now?"

"Nope. They've just arrived. They're going to move Claire's stuff in his mansion today."

Zion was my older brother by five years. He just got married to his high school sweetheart, Claire. They've just came back from their three weeks honeymoon in Bali, Indonesia.

"Zion and Claire are having dinner with us tonight. Make sure to come home early, Emerald." My mom, Jade Petrakis reminded me. Therefore, I could not go to the mall after work. I was supposedly planning to go shopping for new business suits.

"Of course, mom." I smiled at her, and took a bite of kale.

"Emmie, why are you only eating grass?" Dad focused his attention on me again.

"Huh?"
