( RHIO POV's )
Somebody knocked at my car window.
"Sir…" Deo began. I threw him his car keys and instantly got off the vehicle.
Somebody else escorted me to the other Limo that waited beside Elthon's car. The whole ride was silent and tensed. The protective guns that jutted from my men's holsters made me feel uncomfortable. Their monotone clothing and expressionless faces made me feel like some action movie star whose life was too important to be compromised.
Security officers stood uptight on parallel lines when we got through the gate of the mansion. I passed through in disregard of their presence and went directly to my somber room. I settled on the mahogany settee and exhaled deeply.
Sya quickly checked on me and told me to show up downstairs where the count of guests had gradually increased. I took a quick shower and wore a mourning suit I was expected to wear.
