The Lies: Landon Academy book 1 by Natalia Wiszniewska (red novels .txt) 📕

was welcoming and honest, he looked me in the eye and answered: “home”. And that was the word I was expecting. I pushed my chest up and made a step, a step to my new home.

I shake my head rapidly to brush the past from my thoughts. I scan the view out the window and realise that the car is not moving anymore, and we are at the airport. I brush my fingers through my long, blonde hair and push the doors open. I step into large space; a cold wind caresses my bare thighs and a shiver went through my body. I locate a big plane at the beginning of the pass. I start to march there but the big hand on my shoulder stop my movements. I quickly remove my cobra from my holster and turn around to shoot.

“You have to be more focus because next time it could the enemy” big smile appears on my face when I heard his voice “Papa”. I rush to embrace him in a big hug, but he stops me.

“We don’t have time for this now little princess, they still are following us” he takes my hand and we step into the plane.

The plane is huge, but there are no people inside, only two young ladies in white uniforms and black hats. The first one has ginger hair that is reaching shoulder length. She starts to walk towards us with a big smile on her face. Her brown eyes scan me from toe to head and her smile disappears.

“Mr Bonnet, we didn’t expect you with anyone…” My father stops her immediately.

“Miss with due respect, who are you to tell me who can fly with me in my damn plane? I think I am the person responsible for your wages and I would be very careful if I were you, what your next words would be!” Whoa, lady, you have big, big problem now because as I know my papa, he either will kick you out of the plane now or sometime during the flight.

“I am very sorry Sir, I didn’t mean anything wrong, we just prepared equipment for one person.” Her eyes are now big like two-pound coins. I cannot remove a smirk from my face because I can see her next mistake in her response, and if I can see it, then my father sees it for sure.

“You see…” he looks at her name badge and continue “Jessica. Your job is to not ask questions or explain yourself. Your job is to prepare the plane for two people as soon as you see me approaching with my daughter.” Her eyes are now like orbits, I think they may fall off from her head and lend next to her feet.

“Y-your daughter? I am sorry Sir and Miss I did not know that she is your daughter, this is my first day of work, please forgive me.” She begs now, WOW, my father doesn’t like begging. I never knew the person who would make so many mistakes in 2 minutes. She already sealed her fate. My father put a polite mask and smile.

“Of course, darling, nothing happened, please go back to your work,” this would mean that she will fly with the birds today. I am waiting for the time when my papa will expand his ways of killing people.

For me it is nothing new, this is the environment I have been growing up: gangs, killings, fights and drugs, normal life. My father is a drug dealer, yes, it is non- pleasant type of job for normal people, but my family is not normal. My father is a leader of a gang called ‘Snakes’, they produce and export the drugs to smaller groups around London, at least this is what I know because papa doesn’t like when too much information is renewed to his princess. I have two brothers: Tyler and Tobias. Tobias is sixteen and Tyler nineteen like me. Tobias is kind and polite but only for a reduced group of people, read, the gang members. Tyler is the right hand of my father, he always helped him and have been involved in everything that is going on with the gang. This is because our father wants him to be a leader when he will no longer be able to. This sounds ridiculous because we do not have that much money to have a hair, so this was unexpected for me when my father said that the plane is his. We never had money for expensive stuff, so there is no talking about the damn plane. I have even more questions now than I had before.

“Father, tell me what is going on? Where is Tobias and Tyler? Who put the bomb to our home and where the hell we are flying?” His eyes lend on me in this typical intimidating way of his, but it’s not working on me anymore. Not since I was six and he taught me how to hold a gun.

“Princess, better sit down because when I will start to talk, your life will change for 360 degrees.”

Chapter 3

I pass my dad and sit on the comfortable white leather seat. The plane chair was never so comfy before. Maybe because I never been in the plane before, so scratch that, the chair is comfortable enough as for the first time. My father sits on the seat in front of me and motions his hand at me.

“Well princess, feel free to sit” his eyes scan my face as he is looking for some kind of sadness, but he will not find it because he thought me how to not show feelings and how to not feel at all. Maybe I have feelings somewhere inside me, but I did not have time to explore them yet or maybe I did but I didn’t realise it before.

“Well father, start talking,” My voice is even and calculated. I will not give anything for him to
