Trevor POV
“I didn’t expect to see you home today…” My mom said the moment I walked inside the house.
After taking a shower I rested for few hours until my grandfather called me and started with his yelling and cursing episode so I was left with no choice but to come home.
“Derrick wants to see me…about the attacks that have been happening at the clubs…” I walked to her and gave her a kiss on her cheeks.
Mom is the sweetest ever…she is the same as Kate; my dad tried, by all means, to not involve her in this whole mafia business. As for Aunt Karen, she is a hardcore…the woman is as heartless as a wolf. The only sanity she had was my uncle and Kate. She left all this behind and started a family way from us… but I guess no matter how far you run you will always be caught up on your past.
She gave my father everything, and walked away…
“Ohh…you staying for lunch right? Because I asked the kitchen to make your favorite!” she beamed with a blooming smile.
“Okay, where is everyone by the way?”
“Your brother is upstairs doing his school…and your father just went to see your grandfather in his study.”
“Okay, mom…let me just go and check on them then!” I kissed her cheek again and walked away towards Derrick’s study.
I knocked on the door of the study and waited until I heard confirmation for me to enter.
Just by opening the door and getting in, I heard my grandfather’s sarcastic remark…”Ahhh, Oh great mighty one…thy finally graced us with his presence! How fortunate are we thy slave of thee…!” I looked at him and saw him rolling his eyes at me.
This old man is really full of drama…
“I was busy taking care of something…I apologize for keeping you waiting paps!” I said as I took my seat next to my dad.
“Ohhh shut up! You were not busy, you were ignoring me…that’s all you and your good for nothing siblings are good at anyway!” he yelled at me.
I guess he tried to get hold of one particular sibling and she didn’t take his call…
“When was the last time you spoke with that good for nothing miss goody too shoes?” he asked through greeted teeth…
Ahhh yes…my guess was right! Only Katharine can turn him into the king of sarcasm and have him all worked up like this.
Well, Caleb did say that Sam sent him a text…I can just lie and say that I spoke with Kate last night!
“I…” the old man interrupted me, “I thought that my own children give me a headache but as for you and your sibling…God I swear you three are getting on my nerves!” he said as he massaged his temple. I looked at my dad and saw with a smug…
“Now…what’s with that mark on your club?” Dad decided to ask…the smug look never leaving his face.
Arggg…I have never met anyone who enjoys seeing his own kids and niece being scolded by Derrick like this man.
“I still haven’t found who is behind it…the kid I caught said that he doesn’t know the mastermind behind it also, he said they get orders from some guy called Nash. I sent Rodney and some men to ask around about this Nash guy.” I told them and they seem to nod at it.
“Who would dare to seek revenge on us? Don’t they know who we are and what we are capable of?” Dad asked again.
“Do you think that they are linked to the Russian or the Italians?” Derrick asked looking like someone who is in deep thoughts.
“It wouldn’t be those…even if it’s them I will make sure that I get to them before they go any further and besides Jhonny and I came to a ground-rule…he stays away from me and I do the same with him, Slavi also know the rule…”
Jhonny is the Italian lord that took over ten years ago after I killed Andrei and his family.
“Yes…yes…those two won’t be that stupid to get burned twice by the same fire!” Derrick said as he stood up from his chair. He walked to the window and looked like someone who is in thoughts.
“Don’t inform that brat until we know for sure what we are dealing with…let her have her carefree life, you know how much she hates being caged! But let her bodyguards always be on guard…we don’t know what the enemy knows!” my grandfather said turning to look at me.
I know what he's thinking…Kate won’t take this, not after everything that has happened. I just wish I can find her a nice guy that is not related to any Mafia world so that my sister can have a peaceful life.
“Are there any clues from the people that attack us?” my dad asked after a long time.
I just answered him by shaking my head…
I don’t want to tell them about the mark or that there might be another family out there that is trying to get under my pants before I find more information.
I heard my phone ding indicating that I have a notification… the message is from Caleb
“Kate saw the news…she is freaking out and demands answers.”
Great…just great…!
“What did you say to her?” and where the f**k are you?
“In the kitchen with your mom…and I just told her that you will call her back to explain!”
This was not part of the plan...all I wanted was for a little time until I can solve the problem even if not all of it but some. Getting this guy Nash will really be my ticket to that!
"Who are you texting boy?" Derrick asked with an annoyed look...
"Caleb, I want him to check something for me."
"By the way, I have agreed with your mother to throw a ball for you and your sister!"
"Wait...what? aren't we too old for that?" I yelled standing up from my chair..
"Sit down...you have no say in this, you two know that you're old but have no partner at all...when was the last time I held a baby? i want great-grandchildren and I want them now!" My grandfather raised his voice at me.
Well, now I know why mom was acting the way she did when I walked in and even asked the cook to prepare my favorite meal... it was to break this news to me!
"Now...inform that sister of yours or else the two of you will only be meeting with your wife and husband at the alter!" Derrick said standing up supporting himself with his cane stick...
