The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes were the black and gold ceiling, nothing unusual there.
Jayden sat up on his king sized bed, same design as the ceiling and every other thing in the room, looking around his only place of comfort for the sound that woke him up. Seen everything was the same as always he could only look at the door because that is the only possible place the sound could come from.
It's probably his butler. Sebastian knew better than to call out again as his master was not the morning type.
Jayden glanced at phone's time and saw 4:30 am. Wondering why his butler was at the door so early he called out
"Seb?"
The reply came quickly with a hint of hesitation "Young master, sorry to interrupt so early but your father asks for your presence."
Hearing his father Jayden sat up straight out of reflex even tho his father wasn't there. He sighed and told his butler he would be there in 10.
Seeing Jayden from the outside one would think that he had everything he wanted. A rich family, the only child which makes him heir to his father wealth, girls throwing themselves at him, money to spend at will and all those other rich kid stuff. But like everything good that comes free? There's always a catch.
Jayden got up from the bed, wore his gray bunny slippers, that his mom probably wouldn't approve of, and went into the bathroom to freshen up. He opened the bathroom door and stood there for a while to allow his eyes get used to the blinding sterile white which was a huge contrast to his bedroom lighting.
The bathroom, his parent's design, was everything big, shiny and white which wasn't his style but his parents didn't know that and he preferred to keep it that way. He had to write a formal essay to his parents to keep the rights to design his own bedroom.
He preferred the dark and gothic vibes, his mom would have a fit if she knew and his dad would probably block his credit card or fix him into another of the company's board meeting, which he suspects this early morning summon is about.
He took a quick shower with warm water and and went over to the mirror to do his facials, courtesy of his mom, she would notice even a line on his face and apparently a line on his face is "unbecoming of the heir of the Hawthorn family".
Jayden came out of the bathroom with steam entering his room he sighed with the normality of it and walked straight to his walk in closet he didn't need to waste time choosing a cloth for a meeting with his father, something prim and proper would do. It always did.
Thirty minutes later he was on his way to his father's study. Naturally as long as he had said 10 minutes, he would have been ready in 10 if he wanted to which was why his butler kept glancing at him because he always followed a routine and kept his words but today? He really didn't care. He paid his butler no mind and kept walking. He walked passed a mirror and got to the black fine door that lead to his father's study. He didn't knock. His butler was already announcing his presence like some prince from a far away land.
"Mr Hawthorn, the young master is here".
"Come in".
Jayden flipped a switch he had created for such occasions in his head. At once the air around him changed to one of a cold heir worth inheriting his family fortune. He walked in
"Father."
