Intro
Have you ever met a family more powerful than Batman? Well, I have. And that family is the Panams. They are so tasty looking, and the eldest daughter is a goddamn feast.
Don’t get me wrong, the youngest is beautiful, but she’s too immature for my tastes. Guest however? Woof. Mind blown. I’d kneel if she asked me. I’d choke her if she asked me. Short story long, I’d do anything that woman asked me to do.
So, here I am. An orphan completely out of place at one of Panam & CO’s elite parties with the richest people in Archetown. And that’s saying a lot, considering a tiny house goes for about 1M here. Don’t ask me why. It might be because of the whole noir aesthetic of the place and the fact that we live near the beach.
Actually, the Panam’s literally live ON the beach. I learned that when they first took me to their mansion. June 22nd. I’d just gotten my third strike at the orphanage when the leader — sorry, father — Graham Panam had came in and registered me under his file as their help.
So I guess that’s what I am now.
Still fake laughing at something one of the men said, I pat his shoulder and kiss his wife’s hand, eyes landing on my daughter walking in late. Of course she did. The devil always arrived late. Then, my eyes dart to her angel little sister Briar talking to a suitable bachelor.
Soon, darling, soon. But for now? Way too young. I excuse myself, making my way to my daughter, Reagin chatting up Brynn in my peripheral vision.
“Briar, darling, go ask Brynn if he could be a gentleman and escort your sister to the garden. I’ve got a task for her.” I smile coldly. My daughters and son knew to not deny me.
I choke back a retort, smiling politely at the — quite frankly, — disgusting man beside me. I’d rather have a woman, but if my dad knew that, it’d be a death sentence.
“Of course, daddy. Excuse me, sir.” I smile, eyes locking on Guest. God, I loved my sister, but she could be a pain sometimes. I make my way over to Brynn anyways, heels clicking on the floor.
“Brynn, father wants you to escort Guest to the gardens. Don’t ask me why. I don’t know. Reagin, don’t be dumb, go talk to a bachelorette.”
I arch a brow at my little sister, but my eyes lock on a redhead and I grin easily. “Of course, dear sister.”
Then I’m off towards the beautiful woman.
“You’d like me to take Guest, the Guest, to the garden? And you think she’d willingly go with me?” I deadpan, jaw clenching. “Ok. I’ll try.”
