The monster called for us five and ordered the four knights to teach me some basics and train me.

Well, I didn't object to him at first as it's good to learn. But now he was being a villain.

"What did you say?" I asked, narrowing my eyes on that monster.

"One should always keep their eyes and ears open while the boss is speaking." He mimicked my early words.

This man...why was he like that? Those were the words which I told him earlier while he was going to reply to me and I put a piece of bread in his mouth.

"Fine. Say it again."

"First, apologize for not being focused on the task I am explaining ." He stated, boringly.

"What you gave me is not a task, it's like a punishment for I don't know what I did wrong." I said as I took a step forward to him.

That monster just ordered me to run this whole ground five times. The ground was like a stadium or more huge than that without seats and boundaries.

"Alora! Don't argue with me and do what I said. It's for your own good." He gave a dead look.

"Ohh...for my own good? I am so glad that you care for me and want to kill me by planning to take out air from my lungs." I started saying that sarcastically with a calm voice and ended up yelling at him.

"You are not going to die after just five rounds of running." He said as if I was irritating him while he was the one getting on my nerves.

"I am sorry." I apologize because there was no point arguing with him.

"Good."

Monster!

"Should I start now? I have to complete running this whole ground five times."

"Carlo and Rome will watch over you, so don't think about cheating. I will get to know if you try to fool me because my eyes are everywhere." He signed by pointing his two fingers from his eyes to mine like, 'I will watch you all the time'.

Instead of replying to his warning signs, I turned to face Carlo to get started.

"Wait!" The monster stopped me from behind.

"Yes, Mr. Bossy monster, did you forget something else to punish me with?" I turned to him and asked with sarcasm. He was so annoying.

He rolled his eyes at me, turned his face and huffed a little then turned back to me and said–

"Change to something else before you start. These clothes are not perfect for training."

A humourless laugh left my mouth with more irritation.

"Oh! Is it what you call training? Are you training me? My bad. But I think this is torture."

He sighed as he started rubbing his forehead.

"Just go and change to something else."

I came back to my room to change into some proper fit.

When I was coming back to complete my task, the monster was standing at the entrance door. He must have not seen me, otherwise, he would have given me some other useless task in the name of training. I know he was doing this on purpose.

He was on a phone call, a hand in his pocket, facing outside. I decided not to meet his gaze and to sneak out of his sight. I walked slowly to the door, being careful not to let him know. It felt like I was a criminal and he was an officer, who was in charge of my case.

As soon as I was about to pass by him, a sudden pull came on me. I was pulled back.

"Hey! Leave me!" I yelled at him, trying to free myself from his grip.

The monster again pulled me by my jacket to stop me and as I was just about to fall backwards, he held my waist tightly.

He looked into my eyes and suddenly I felt different. Not anger but something else, which I never felt before.

So, I got up from his hold and took a few steps back. He cleared his throat and started rubbing the back of his neck.

"You wasted half my time and I was just about to fall because of you." I complained.

"But you didn't fall because I saved you from falling."

"Are you always like this? Or are you doing such a special act only for me?" I asked him sarcastically with fake amusement in my eyes.

He frowned and said, "I don't understand why those lunatics call you cute."

I narrowed my eyes at him as I didn't understand whom he called that. Then the realization hit me and I gasped dramatically.

"Don't call them lunatics. They are way better than you. At least they are not rude to me like you."

He smirked at me and said, "You think I am rude to you?"

"Yes! Actually no, I think being rude to me is now added to your daily routine." I stepped forward.

Only then I realised I made a mistake. We were too close now. I was too close to him.

The monster leaned with a smirk making me take a step backwards. Then he again took a step towards me and as I was about to step back again, he grabbed me by my waist with his one arm.

Now, that was making me nervous. Why am I always this restless around him? I felt weak.

"But it was you who officially made me your enemy. So being rude to you is necessary for our relationship."

I looked up at him, widening my eyes at his comment.

"We are not in any kind of relat..."

He cut me off and said, "Don't lie! We are in a relationship. Even two enemies have a relationship but are filled with hatred." He stared at me with a dangerous smirk. My eyes kept staring into those cold, deadly eyes, afraid to look away.

Here, I had lost it. There was no reply in my mind to make him shut. Tension filled inside me, I tried to look anywhere else but his eyes.

"I have to go. Carlo and Rome must be waiting for me." I said, trying not to meet his gaze at this point.

He freed me from his grab and walked back a little.

As I was just about to leave, he again pulled me by my arm, making me face him.

"If you get tired by running that much, then stop. I'll tell my man to send some water bottles for you." The monster showed some affection through his words.

"O-okay, caring monster." I didn't find anything else to reply to for his caring side.

I think I had just noticed a smile curved on his lips, which he hid at that very moment. He again took a step towards me, making me startled. And as I was about to go back, he stopped me by grabbing my arms with both of his hands.

My eyes widened shockingly as I glanced to my right and then my left, while some negative thoughts popped up in my mind.

He touched the zipper of my sports jacket and zipped it up.

My mind released a sigh of relaxation.

"Thank you."

"Now go! Don't waste your time here and there." He again showed me that attitude and walked inside, away from me.

Huh? How did this boy change so quickly?

"Hey! You! I hate you! ENEMY!!" I shouted at his back. He waved at me without turning.

~~~~~

It has been four days since I came here. And I was already mixing with everyone. Everyone was nice to me. Only except that person.

After today's exercise, I thought that I would come for a walk in the garden, which will make me feel a little relaxed. I didn't know before that they had a separate garden. It was Max who told me about it.

So, I quickly went to my room, took a good shower and then took out an outfit from the closet.

I was in love with this dress. This was the first time I was wearing such a beautiful dress. I didn't care whether I looked nice in that dress or not, I just felt good wearing that.

So, in a cheerful mood, I made my way to the garden. When I arrived there, the colours of the flowers and their smell kidnapped me from my reality and took me to their beautiful world.

There were so many different types of flowers. I plucked a flower and placed it in my hair. I also never thought that mafia people could plant so many flowers in their gardens. It impressed me.

I decided to pluck some of the flowers and give one to everyone so that their mood would become good and their day would pass well. I started plucking flowers when there was a sound that came to me.

I turned and saw Carlo with a phone in his hand, and then again he clicked a photo of me. A big smile formed on my lips.

"Are you our little miss?" He said with surprised eyes while he was looking at me from head to toe.

"No... I am an alien and I came to visit the Earth. Well, this planet is great." I joked to him. It felt nice to joke around freely.

We both started laughing. I gave a flower to him from my collection.

"Thank you... little miss." He took it and pinched a little on the tip of my nose.

"Be happy," I said, smiling at him.

"Now, I will."

"Okay, then let me give a flower to everyone."

"Yeah, sure. I just came to inform you that Enzo called you to talk."

"Yeah... Okay... I will go after this."

After that, I ran inside and gave a flower to everyone. They all became happy and gave me a smile.

Mom! Look, I got so many points.

Some flowers were left which I was going to put in a vase but then something came into my mind and I stopped in the middle of the way.

Oh no! I completely forgot that the bossy monster had called me.

God, please save me from him.
