Without wasting a minute, they rush to Hermia side and put the cuff on her.
"What are you doing? Do you know who I am, I'm a Dally and you would regret this. Remove the cuffs or you would regret this!" she kept shouting until she was pulled into their vehicle.
"I apologize for the misunderstanding" the last officer said and went to join the others in their car and drove off.
He could still hear Hermia scream at the policemen, telling them how dare they. A smile made it's way to his face unknowingly. This was a small win but it was good enough to make him happy.
One thing Xander noticed during the scene was that many onlookers had their cameras on to capture every moment and he was sure that they video Hermia Dally screaming.
For once he was happy he wasn't well known by people and was grateful for his father idea of keeping his identity away from the press.
Xander took his time walking back to his estate and suddenly a car stopped in front of him. The window lowered and it revealed Hunter in the driver seat and Trente in the passenger seat.
Trente's eyes were red and he suspected that he cried.
"Get in" Trente said more like ordered and the older brother shrugged and entered the backseat.
The ride was silent until the entered the estate.
"Was that Hermia on the phone?" Trente asked calmly
"Yes?" Xander answered not sure how to react with Trente been so quiet.
"Can you stop meeting her?" Trente asked, he turned to look at his brother desperately.
"I didn't purpose meet her, it was just coincidence"
"But are you alright?" Trente asked quietly and Xander stared at his bandaged fingers. He wasn't sure if he was alright since he let out most of his anger the previous day and now he felt irritated and annoyed.
"I think so"
"Sir, you have a lunch date with Miss. Diaz today" Hunter announcement, changing the subject and Xander couldn't be grateful.
"Who is that?" Trente asked and Xander was not sure if he should let his brother in on his plan.
"Just someone" he said instead
"Just someone you are going on date with? Come on I thought we were close" Trente pouted, causing Xander to chuckle
"We are, you would meet her soon"
"Much better, I'm thinking that she is Mexican and those people family are usually huge" Trente stated. Xander never thought of that or getting close that need of meeting her family would arise. "It's nice to see you move on from your ex wife"
It is nice. Xander thought to himself.

"You are here, I thought you aren't showing up again" Randy said as she placed her fork on her plate. She thought he had ditched her so she ordered an appetizer. Hunter had sent her the location of their meeting which happened to be a five star French restaurant. She couldn't waste the opportunity to eat rich even if they stood up on her.
"Sorry, I'm late I got a little delayed at work" Xander said and sat across her. Actually, he wasn't delayed at work, Trente did.
He surprising showed up at the office with different suits stating he looked too formal and he wasn't going to meet a business partner but a girl who is likely to ended up as his sister in law. He could not refute since Hunter agreed with him on the dressing part. They finally let him go after changing through three different outfit. He ended up with a black buttom up shit and white pants, the first three button was let open and Trente was impressed of his hardwork.
"No problem, I already ordered the appetizer, do so too" She said and he nodded and pick up the meun. "By, the way you look hot" she added
"You too"
"You are not a romantic" She huffed and continued eating.
"I have never been a relationship apart from my marriage" Xander said innocently, causing Randy eyes to widen. "Is there a problem with that?"
"No there isn't I thought with your looks you would have lot girls lining up for you in highschool"
Yes, highschool. He didn't get to finish it because he dropped out when he was when he left the orphanage at sixteen.
Randy noticed his mood change and decide to change the subject. She brought out a brown envelope that contain the contract.
"So here is what I want to add to the contract" she said sliding it to his front and tapping her index finger on a statement on the paper.
"Only party A have the right to break the contract" Xander read not seeing what is wrong with it. "What is wrong with it?"
"You dare to ask me what is wring with it, you can take all my rights because you gave me a black card, I want to be able to break the contract too" she said
"There would be penalty, that's why I asked Hunter to remove it" he said and she scoffed
"I'm not weak, add I would pay whatever penalty"
"Okay, any other thing?" Xander asked and called for the waiter since he was ready to order. Randy waited until he made his order before speaking.
"I also need to know what I'm involving myself in" She said confidently and started scrolling through her phone.
"Why?" she could not be more dumbfounded.
"One. You are using me so I need to know what you using me for, two, so I don't embrass myself because I lack information, three, I could also help. I'm not useless" she stated and look at Xander curiously expecting him to turn her down like always.
"Okay, what do you to know" Xander rolled his eyes and said.
"From, what I gather, you were never rich, so how did you get this money? " she asked and Xander signaled for her come close.
"Do you really want to know" he asked in a low voice and she nodded "But once you know, I would have kill you" he added and she gave him weird look and distanced herself away from him.
"I was just kidding, it alright for you to know" Xander chuckled, she sized him up and hissed silently. She mentally caused herself for falling for his prank, though his chuckle was worth it.
Xander brought out his business card from his wallet and gave it to her. Her eyes widen and was about to exclaim before the new chairman shushed her.
"How?" she asked in whispered voice.
"I'm their long lost son" her lips formed the she shape "o" as she nodded. Xander order came and he dig into it while Randy watched him as she try to understand the newly found news.
He gave her a brief explanation of Hermia and Helena when asked.
"Don't try me you are doing a this things because they divorced you" Randy asked in conclusion.
"I'm not stupid, everything I'm doing is to get my daughter back" again, Randy nodded in understand.
"Is there anything else?" Xander asked and she nodded, causing him to sigh tiredly.
"What is it?" he asked and she smiled happily
"Let me live with you"
