SHE KEPT GOING. "HE WAS NEVER A FAN OF SOCIAL RELATIONS, and opposite to his best friend, is introverted. An INTJ personality. Fan and owner of FCSB, Steaua Bucaresti, the most successful football club in Romania. A Newcastle Eagles fan. Born on April 11th, he's of the Aries zodiac sign, with rising in Scorpio, and moon in Libra. Now, psychologically speaking, Luca suffers from quite a bit of things such as anxiety disorder; PTSD that he evolved after the explosion that killed his parents, three youngest siblings, and older brother back in Romania, a year before he left for London, and that, according to what's written in his psychological records, was more likely to have been an organized assassination than an accident; insomnia, panic disorder, and oppositional defiant disorder." Hah, he's almost as fucked up as me. Key word: almost. "Currently lives in the Kensington neighborhood with his wife."
In the same process, she passed down and took the other.
"Keira Dove Charles-Vasilache. Matriarch of the Vasilache. 71 years old, born and raised in Liverpool, moved to London at 17 to finish high school there, and never moved back. Met Luca a month before she turned 20, and married him six months later, in December of the same year. Only has one daughter, who was born when both her and her husband were 24. Partially French on Coralie's side, her mother who was originally from Paris and moved to England at 20, but she also never lived there or around the culture. Graduate from Med school in London, and later she also studied Fashion, after she owned three different hospitals in the capital. Catholic, traditional, became close friends with Theodor and Natalia. Is also seen as a philanthropist socialite, and always helps Natalia on her events, even at their present age. White, 1.71m, curvy body, light brown hair, almond-shaped light green eyes.
"Opposite to Natalia, Keira has some small contact with the Romanian Mafia, and is said to be skilled at fighting, in which she was taught by her husband. An ESFP personality. Liverpool fan, since childhood. In hockey, she's a Belfast Giants fan. In basketball, she's London Lions fan. Born on June 7th, she's of the Gemini zodiac sign, with rising in Virgo, and moon in Scorpio. Regarding any mental illness, Keira's psychologist notes show anxiety disorder, neuroticism, anorexia, paranoia, and bipolar disorder. She has quite the twisted mind," Chiara chuckled. "Keira is currently living in the Kensington neighborhood with her husband."
"You really got them deep, cousin," Khloe gasped.
Chiara handed them the folder and sniffed the glass of wine her uncle handed to her before drinking it. "I'm just summarizing all I got on them, the folders are very detailed. There are alliances and enemies. Strengths and weaknesses you can take advantage of. I also took the liberty to add my noted on how you could strike them if you want to," when their eyes widened, she grinned amused. "Nothing bloody, as Khloe said she doesn't want to kill them or anything. Plus, if that happened, papa wouldn't be satisfied, since he was close to the current chairman of the Scarlats. Either way, it was easier to get info on the 2nd and 3rd generation, because they are all more present on the internet and the spotlight is heavier on them, but I managed to get a lot of shady stuff on the 1st generation, especially on the Vasilache."
Oh God, wait until she knows the real reason behind Khloe's request. I just hope she doesn't freak out and go full psycho on us. Kevin gulped, looking through the folders she handed him. All fully organized, proving that Khloe was right when she said their cousin had OCD. Especially with all the meticulous notes she added to it. "You added a lot of ways we could strike their businesses, cousin. I can tell that you are very knowledgeable on it. Seems like Uncle Rufus really taught you a lot."
Chiara enjoyed the praise, "He did. And I've been taking care of many problems that came into my famiglia's businesses since I got a hang of all this hacking. It helps a lot. I'm not simply skilled at shady and illegal ways, don't worry, I'm very familiar with the legal ways too, since we need them to keep the appearances and be able to deal with the illegal stuff."
Bloody hell, Rufus created a genius. "Any other notes?"
She turned to her uncle, "Just what you must know already. Because of their close relationship and old friendship, Theodor and Luca, plus their wives, raised their two kids together. Both were born months apart from each other on the same year, grew up as neighbors, played together; attended to everything from school, extra activities, and events with one another; they were best friends, just as their parents intended them to be. Later, they dated, it worked out, and they got married, uniting the two families as one, and the Vasilache girl took the Scarlat surname from the boy, getting their family to where they are now. But that wasn't simply a family union, as they united all their assets, and grew as an even bigger empire than they already were alone."
"Nicolae and Madalina," Millie pointed, and she nodded.
"And I also learned that the Armstrongs and the Scarlats have a relationship that dates back from your and papa's parents," she pointed to her uncle, "to the 1st generation I just mentioned. They got together for different types of business, and when it came to you and papa, you had the opportunity to be very close to Nicolae and Madalina, but papa was his friend because they were all the same age, whereas zio Kingsley was 5 years older. Even now, the two families have two hospitals, three malls, and one private school together. And it was all good until papa supposedly went to… the outskirts and their contact got weaker."
Of course, she would get info on that too. "Indeed, I was never so close to them because of our age difference. I'm the Chairman of the Armstrong Group as you know, niece, and Nicolae was never so friendly to me as he was to my brother. Especially when he left."
"Something that I managed to get was that you moved the main branch of your business to Birmingham only after papa left London. And that made the relationship between the two families sour, because it gave the impression that you were trying to break free from the Armstrongs ties with them!"
Did she get that impression? Kingsley tilted his head to the side. That's not the reason. It was more personal.
"Nevertheless," she added with a grin on, "in my opinion, as I took in consideration everything I got, I don't believe that's the case, since zia Millie's famiglia is from Birmingham, and she was from here, despite having studied in London. Thus, I believe you moved here because she wanted to live here, and you were open to changing it for her. Maybe you both also wanted to raise Kevin and Khloe here, since London is a lot more chaotic. Might also be because London reminded you of papa and your parents who died, and as someone who lost my parents, I understand the desire to get a change of air. In short, I do not believe that the Scarlat were the reason for the move."
Her uncle grinned; Oh, she makes good use of that high IQ of hers. "You got it precisely right, but for some reason, I'm not surprised. Your ability to have an overall vision of the situation is praiseworthy for sure, Chiara. Besides, they are a thorn on our ass, but we don't hate the Scarlat."
That much is obvious. "I got that when Khloe refused my offer to take care of them for good. Oh, one more thing that caught my attention was that the Scarlats are all fanatics for football, basketball, and hockey. And overall, their family altogether owns a famous English football club and a Romanian one, a basketball club, and a hockey club." All rivals to the ones my family owns. "All English clubs with direct rivalry to the clubs owned by my parents in here," not counting the ones mom owned in Italy. "You sure papa didn't have an ugly fight with Nicolae? I mean, one that isn't recorded anywhere, because if it were, I would have gotten my hands on it."
Kingsley tilted his head to the side, "No, no. Your father and Nicolae simply had a friendship full of rivalry."
