Mr Lancaster on returning to his study noticed a blue light beeping from his phone. He could tell who had called him. Only one person dares to call him on his personal line and that was Mr Oberon Huffington. His only friend. They were not best friends but they were always there for each other.
They once made a famous bet in the past the outcome of which Mr Lancaster had to cheat to win. The prize was him taking over all the business enterprises of Mr Huffington except one. He feared for the day his past will catch up with him. Mr Huffington like him was not a man to be toyed with.
Mr Huffington was the owner of LA Masia DE Casin. The only business he was left with after that famous bet. He was also involved in drug and arms smuggling. Unlike Mr Lancaster, he had a lot of dangerous friends like himself. To make a mistake in this line of their business was to be killed, and that was why he was more ruthless than Mr Lancaster.
He has just one child, a 17 years old, by name Avero. She was the only one he cared about. As a means of trying to get back some of his wealth for her. He suggested to Mr Lancaster to get one of his sons married to her, but Mr Lancaster would hear nothing of an arranged marriage for his sons.
He told him if she can make anyone of them fall in love with her then he will be support of her. Avero had the freedom to visit the Lancasters mansion from time to time. She had no restrictions whatsoever since she was like family to all of them.
Mr Lancaster picked his phone and called him. It barely rang before it was picked by Mr Oberon. "Hello legend!" by calling him legend Mr Lancaster was reminded of his new title in LA Masai De Casin.
"I tried calling you when I missed your calls. I hope there is no problem because everyone knows you rarely make a call except it is important."
Mr Lancaster smiled inwardly his friend seem to know him too well. He quickly gave him a brief insight into what had happened since Sharon came into his house. He carefully avoided telling him about the allergic incident.
"I will like to get her married to one of my sons. But you know my principle. I don't support arranged marriage. Maybe I will allow nature take its course as usual." Mr Lancaster concluded with a sigh.
Mr Huffington who had been listening suddenly came up with an idea. He knows how addicted his friend was to betting on natural courses, "How about I propose a bet. We should place a bet on who she chooses to marry."
Mr Lancaster smiled at that. He loved the whole idea. "My bet is on one of the twin." Mr Oberon quickly said.
"I guess I'm left with Shaw and Dane then."
At that moment no one thought of Tobin. They felt he was too young to even pose a threat to his brothers.
"What is the catch then." Mr Lancaster asked curiously..
"I will take back all my original companies from you."
Mr Lancaster thought for a while, "Then I will take LA Masia De Casin if I win."
"It is a deal then. A gentlemen's agreement.
I will come around to sign the necessary papers tomorrow."
"At the end I just want sharon to get married to one of the boys Mr Lancaster said before dropping the phone."
At that same moment Shaw walked into his father's study. He overheard the last words of his father speaking about Sharon getting married to one of them but he pretended as if he didn't hear him.
