Prologue

Violet's POV

[3 years ago]

Kicking him in the face, I ran towards the window. That's it baby, that's it. My lips stretched into a smile as my hand touched the ledge. Just as i was about to jump out, an arm wrapped around my leg and pulled me back down.

"Not so fast sweetheart."

The familiar annoying voice was enough to make my smile fade. I fell back on a hard body.

"You son of a bitch!" I growled as I tried to push myself back up but he held on tight. I felt his chest vibrate as he chuckled in my ear. Using his other hand he took out the pendrive from my leather jacket's pocket.

Pushing me away, he got up with a lazy smirk on his face.

"Well that was quite a pathetic attempt at stealing. I expected a little better from you."

Yeah, well my dad probably did too, he's gonna chew me one out when i reach home.

"Mr. Meyers would love to hear about this one, won't he?"

He walked closer to me. I pushed myself up back on my feet and pulled him down by his collar.

"It depends.."

Standing on my toes, my lips brushed against his ear

"....on whether u want to be six feet under or above." Smiling sweetly I pulled back to see his dark brown eyes twinkling with laughter. The bastard thinks I'm joking. We will see if it's still funny when I kill him in his sleep.

" Woah you scare me, this would keep me all night." He pretended to shiver.

Okay that's it. My anger got better of me and I punched him in the face.

"Oww."

He screamed out in anguish, grabbing his nose. Suddenly his door burst open and two guards came rushing in with their guns pointed towards me.

I stared them dead in the eye.

"Are you serious? It's not he like he will die."

They turned towards Hunter, waiting for his command. With just flick of his wrist he motioned them to back off. Retreating their guns into their back pockets they bowed and left the room.

Yes shoo away you little midgets. My eyes flickered towards Hunter who was now standing by the support of the table glaring at me.

I take back my words, come back you beautiful midgets.

His lips curled into sinister smirk and I noticed he was looking at something on the floor. Following his gaze, my eyes widened when I realised it was a pair of scissors. Just as he swept down to pick them, I took off.

"You are crazy!" I screamed into the wind as I raced down the stairs past multiple guards.

"Just wait till I catch you, your precious hair is gone." I heard his faint yell behind me.

I sprinted across the huge hall and entered the staff quarters.

Our laughter could be heard echoing through the vast halls of the Arch mansion
