"What's the meaning of this?" Zade asked as everyone was stunned by his sudden return.
"I'm sorry about this inappropriate actions Boss but Zel is getting into my nerves." Aaron said as Zade sigh and assisted Wendy back on their room as they continued their talk on Zade's office.
"I didn't know how I raise a monsters like you yet you should also be aware that our family isn't as good as you think." Zel started as Zade sigh knowing where he's coming from.
"We need to gather more stronger subordinates if it's true that the Jelly and Crocs are about to form an alliance with the Navy." Zade said as Aaron wrote down a report for the meeting.
"Why not sort things out like a normal family?" Aaron asked since they only want compensation and money on behalf of peace and integrity.
"If we gave them what they want it just means that we lost our pride." Zade said. " I rather die than lower my pride." He added.
"If things will get heavy I'll try to find a way to put the Navy into disadvantage." Anastasia said as Aaron looked at her.
"Halix is still knew in the government industry. We have to properly guide and support that child in order to handle the Navy properly. When it comes to weapon I heard from the poison department that they are still doing their best." Aaron said as Zade starts getting a headache.
"What are your plans Father?" Zade asked looking at Zel who looked worried about it. "I don't want them dead. After all we are still family running the same blood in the animal kingdom." He started thinking about his cousins.
"Your old now old man. What are you even trying to say? A Mafia knows no mercy." Zade said as Zel smiled.
"I know you're mad at them for Emeralds death since they think of her as laughing stock. Yet they are still family." Zel said that made Zade pissed off.
"Don't you dare bring my mother's name in this conversation!" Zade said as Zel smiled. "Your mother is Camilla not Emerald. You need to reconsider Camilla's presence. She already learned her lesson." Zel explained.
"Shut up! My mother died because a lot of people are after my death! Do you think this is some sort of family reunion? I will kill everyone that would get into my way to the top even if they are my family." Zade said as Zel knew that he cannot do anything about Zade's decision.
"You raised us this way Father. Yet you thought of me as a monster but I am now a grown Demon." Zade added.
'He is right, I bought this thing to myself when I raised this child to be the next leader of the Reyes Falcon.' Zel thought and looked at Aaron who is now looking at him coldly.
'Even the child that I wish to give a normal life looked at me like a trash. These two are sometimes really scary.' he said to himself as Aaron is getting pissed by him.
"I heard about Jayden and his sister coming home." Zel said as Zade went serious. "What about them?" He asked as Zel smiled.
"You might not know about this since she's working hard to become the finest doctor but she's dating your second degree cousin Albert Luis Reyes." Zel said as Rodney gave the files with pictures of them.
"She's deeply aware that she can't date a Reyes." Zade said since it was part of the contract.
"Yet Albert just introduce himself as Albert Luis who is also studying medicine in LA." Zel added. "He gained information about our plans when he heard that Jayden was Jasmin's brother and they are coming home to formally announced their engagement." Zel explained.
"So the sudden move that they made just like forming an alliance with the Navy was because of Jasmin's involvement with Albert huh..."Zade said as this is giving him a headache.
"Aaron didn't you properly trained the servants around Jasmin for them to cause this problem for us?" Zade asked. As Aaron didn't respond because this time it was his fault all over again.
Just like on how the twins were poisoned because of his carelessness.
"I forgived you for almost killing my heir's yet this time you have no excuse for this." Zade said as he stared at Aaron as he starts shivering in fear.
"Lately you've been distracted in a lot of ways. You need to be honest since we cannot afford failures here. What the fvck is wrong with you? What is bothering you?" Zade asked as everyone just looked at Aaron waiting for his response.
"If this is about Mary then..." Zade said as Aaron immediately defended himself. "This isn't about her!" He shouted as Zade just stared at him coldly.
"Then why the hell are you so dense lately that's been causing trouble to my Empire?" Zade asked as Aaron didn't know the answer either.
"Aaron David Reyes." Zade called as Aaron slowly raise his head while Zade is standing in front of him.
"Do you wish to die?" He asked as Aaron immediately shake his head. "Then do a proper job more than this." He said as Aaron slowly nodded.
Anastasia looked concerned about Aaron and she knew that there is something wrong especially that Aaron is the person in charge with the subordinates and lately he's been doing a bad job that pisses Zade off.
"Jasmin is not in the service of Reyes so she can date whoever she wants. This incident is accidental and we need to welcome them warmly on my humble mansion. Jayden will bear the consequences of his sister's action so we'll try to give them hospitality for now." Zade said as Aaron nodded.
"Do you think this is the better way to deal with such problem?" Zel asked as Zade glared at him. "Why Father? Do you want me to kiss their cheeks and act all friendly while in fact I want to cut their throat right now?" He asked as Zel smiled and looked at the pictures.
"In the government situation why not tell Halix to have a meeting with the Navy for confirmation on who will be the next Admiral?" Zel suggested as Zade smiled.
"That's quite a good idea Father." Zade said.
10 years had passed as it's time for Jasmin to go back home as she's holding her degree in medicine as a surgical doctor.
Jasmin, Albert and Jayden arrived in the Reyes Mansion as the staffs welcome them warmly just like what Zade wanted.
Jayden was away for too long since he was given a long time vacation after the successful mission with the government.
Yet staying in LA makes him even missed Wendy more.
Everyone looked at them with a smile yet the bitterness of Aaron's smile shows everyone how bitter it is to be with someone he wants to kill the instant.
"Aaron..." Zade called as Aaron bow down his head and show them their rooms. "Thank you so much Zade for letting us stay here, I really want to be open with our relationship." Jasmin said as she had grown into a fine young lady.
"It's a pleasure Dr. Jasmin." Zade said as Jayden excuse himself to get some fresh air when he bump into a young lady.
"Aish, Look were your going mister." Zackeeyah Emerie Reyes said. "Wendy..."Jayden whispered as looking at the young Zackeeyah right now she looked exactly like the Wendy he knew back when they were young.
"Ahh I really do look like Mother, Everyone says the same thing yet I am Zackeeyah Emerie Reyes, Wendy Emerie Reyes's daughter." She said as Jayden heart dropped.
'It's been ten long years and the baby I saw back then grew up to be this fine young lady.' Jayden said to himself as Zackeeyah is staring at Jayden.
Jayden clears his throat. "So where is your mother?" Jayden asked as Zackeeyah smiled.
"She's dead." Zackeeyah answered as Jayden face literally went from smiling to looking horrified by what he heard.
"Zackeeyah what did I told you about not messing with the grownups?" Wendy said as she smiled at Jayden. "Welcome back Jayden." She said as Jayden immediately went to hug her.
'That's right this is the real Wendy that I missed.' Jayden whispered as Wendy smiled and hugged him back.
"Ahhh what are you doing! Let go of my Mother!" Zachary shouted as he just went back from training with Knight and start attacking Jayden yet his moves are slow that made Jayden avoid every blow.
Because of the commotion Wendy sigh and starts walking to Jasmin's room and greeted her while the Twins torture Jayden.
"I heard your with your fiance, Where is he now?" Wendy asked as Jasmin smiled. "Zade asked to talk with him for awhile. I bet their discussing about our marriage soon." Jasmin said blushing as Wendy knew that they are not just gonna talk things out like a normal person.
