Chapter 1: Back home with bad news

3rd person POV

Royalty was in London prepping her bags to go back to Calabasas. She hadn't heard from her brothers or father and neither her best friend in a week, she was worried and confused.

Her best friend always called her and her father calls her every Wednesday and Saturday, so she was a little confused on why she hadn't heard from her family.

"Ma'am, your car is ready and the jet is waiting your arrival" Her driver Matthew said and took her bags away. She was dressed in a peach sun dress and black sandals.

She entered the Mercedes and Matthew drove her to the airport. Matthew took her bags to the plane. Royalty was unusually quite and Matthew noticed it but didn't want to question her.

"Matt, do u think everyone is okay?" Royalty asked Matthew. She looked at him then shaked her head no so Matthew won't answer her. "I'll be in the room if u need me" Royalty said and went to the room.

The distance between London and Calabasas wasn't too dreadful, it's a five n half hour flight. So Royalty was just in the room, she thought a little before she slept.

Thirty minutes to landing Matthew went to wake Royalty from sleep, "Ma'am we are about to land" Matthew said. Royalty nodded and arranged her face and hair.

She went to buckle her self. The turbulence was minor but alot of things was going on in Royalty's mind. She alighted the jet and was directed to a black tinted Mercedes Benz AMG coupe.

"Matthew can u drive, I'm not comfortable with new people" Royalty said with pleading eyes and Matthew nodded.

Matthew drove her to her family house in palm springs. None of the Valencia knew of Royalty's arrival so they were shocked to see a maid carrying Royalty's bags or Matthew.

"Matthew?" Alexander asked. "She ordered a plane to bring her here instantly, she seems off and barely said a full happy sentence" Matthew said to Alexander. Alexander nodded and went outside to join his whole family.

"Papa, did something bad happen....... no one called for a week, even Saul and Martina.......... Martina always calls me and rambles about that awful school she goes to.......... now I can't get to her, her phone was going to voicemail and now it's switched off......... I will go visit her now.... Matthew can--" Royalty was saying but was cut off by Silas " Martina is dead"

"What?" Royalty asked. "No, she isn't, that's a joke, how ?" Royalty was shocked. She couldn't believe her best friend in the world is dead and she didn't know of this.

"She died on Monday in her school" Saul said as Alexander went to hug her. Royalty was a sobbing mess. Alexander carried her up to her room. "Why didn't anyone tell me?" She asked after she stopped crying.

"Cause u were alone and we wanted u back here, Martina left some letters for u though" Saul said and Royalty sniffled then nodded. "Can I be alone I will join you all for dinner and can I have the letters too?" Royalty asked, Silas gave her a small cardboard box of letters and she was left alone.

Royalty didn't know what to expect when she read those letters but when she did, she was shocked. She made a plan in her head and promised to execute them all. All that was on her mind till dinner time was 'A student murdered her best friend '
