The tension in the room was suddenly high, the temperature seemed to drop to zero degree sending chills down the spine of everyone present. Everyone remained stiffened, Natalie instinctively looked up to Alexi who was in a glaring competition with his father. The fury was evident in his misty blue eyes that were now shrouded in complete darkness.
After what seemed like a while Alexi spoke up his tone reeking of authority. "I will not be giving my son off for a business deal and its final" Alexi said coldly maintaining the eye contact, Matthew averted his gaze at the overwhelming killing intent oozing out from Alexi. During his time as the head of the family he was known as a shrewd and capable business man but faced with his son he was like a ant not worth mentioning, if there was anything he fears the most it was his own son.
"Your dad cares about yours and Pierre future thats why he brought it up besides it will strengthen the bond between the two family" Sylvanna tried to coax him.
"You are too hot-headed listen to mom and dad" Devon said seriously, his face straight no longer playing.
"Well fuck Sam harder so she can give birth to a son and set a fucking marriage alliance for him" Alexi said not hiding his disgust and his eyes now icy sending daggers.
"Do the calms, he was just giving an advice" Knoxx cut in.
"I don't get when I ever told you that I ever need the opinion of any of you, I have been the head for this past 7 years and did I ever call for your opinion or anyone in this room this will be the last time this repeat itself... If it ever does you will have me to answer and trust me when I say it won't be ending well" Alexi wiped his lips and walked out.
"Alexi!!... Don't he knows pride goes before a fall..." Amelia stood up and yelled, she faced the Natalie who was seated calmly "You are his wife talk to him he can't be acting recklessly".
"For what... I see nothing wrong in what he said, you are not worried about him but his downfall, throughout this meal you've made me wonder if you are really his mother....do you really love your own son... I am Alexi wife making me Pierre mother I will care about my son future I don't need your fake empathy"Natalie said then stood up after giving a formal bow leaving everyone speechless,Lionel did the same before following her out. Knoxx eyes didn't leave her ass as she walked out while Devon just stared lustfully at her curves as he lostly grabbed Samantha boobs taking her on that spot while engraving Natalie figure in his brain.
"Grandma, this guy has much of an ego and that classless slut..." Sylvanna was talking when Old Mrs Camillie Cross just stood up and walked out, Amy followed her out then Knoxx and Joyce.
"Matt... Matty.... Please... Listen" Amelia said her voice chocked.
"Shut up! Are you happy, I am sure you must be did you see how your son insulted me I completely lost face and you could only sit like a log of wood" Matthew thundered angrily making Amelia tremble beneath him like a cat, he restrained himself from hitting her and walked out.
"Pathetic...worthless mother" Sylvanna scoffed taunting her.
"Atleast I'm more better of a mother than you, this is my husband house your presence here his out of my kindness remember you signed for a divorce" Amelia glared at her and walked out, Sylvanna threw the glasses and plates in front of her angrily but it got worse when Samantha piercing screamed as she and Devon came together.
"Kneel" Devon commanded, Samantha immediately knelt in front of his huge cock. Sylvanna dragged Samantha away angrily and slapped Devon.
"Why do this when there will be no benefit from it, that low life maid and son talk back to me Sylvanna Cross" Sylvanna yelled and walked away.

Natalie knocked on the study door and entered without awaiting a response to see the father and son sitting across from each other. The former was staring out the window while the later stared blankly at his father.
"Miss panda" Pierre called out upon seeing Natalie who was smiling brightly at him, he returned the smile just as bright.
"Cutes, please go freshen up and I will meet you to watch a movie... Come on go on" Natalie said with a smile, he quickly ran away with his short legs.
"Rascal" Alexi muttered, Natalie came behind him and massaged his head which he didn't refused, She suddenly asked about the drugs she prescribed.
Alexi remembered giving the prescription to a doctor said to be an expert in Chinese medicine, the man was excited and had respectfully asked where he saw this master who had exceptionally given him a prescription this accurate, the doctor had even gone overboard and asked that he wants to see this old guru that must be old and stricken in years to read a course like Chinese medicine this accurately would take thirty years. Alexi was afraid that she might get proud so he only gave her a perfunctory remark "It's okay".
Natalie didn't think much of it and said since the approval has been given she will take care of his meals and daily habit.

Natalie was driven to the hospital to see her father the next day, she came very early and was able to spend three hours with him before leaving for the Cross Castle. On her way to the room she met Devon in front staring at her like she was naked giving her cringe, she was about to pass by him when he called out to her.
"Sister-in-law, you look like you are coming from somewhere, have we become too small to talk" Devon said making her pause in her steps.
"Didn't feel like greeting" Natalie answered with a shrug.
"Hmm... Straightforward... I see, well I like to get to the point, Alexi is a monster and stone-hearted he doesn't have an heart to develop feelings so I am very generous in dealings so I will make sure to treat you well all you need to do his open your leg well...It comes with a pay, half a million per hour" Devon said feeling quite pleases with himself, Natalie lips curled up with a smirk her eyes filled with interest.
"His stupidity is going to fun to watch" She thought as the smirk grew on her lips
