"You are getting married Kai.The engagement is tonight" Ben's words made Kai halt his tracks but did not turn back.
"She is Stephanie Russo.The daughter of Ethan Russo.You might have probably met her already." Ben told seeing his son did not ask.Lucario's ears perked up, if Kai got married and had a son,it would solidify his power as the head.Making him indispensable. "He's just 28 years old, what's with the rush?" Lucario questioned his brother.He knew very well about his brother's intention.
Ben wouldn't have cared who his son married as long as it will not have a bad effect on them.He had to find someone that could considerably align with his son in terms of power. That way,he wouldn't be pushed away by Lucario and his son's. "I have let him play enough.It is time he fulfills more serious obligations" Ben spoke staring focusly at his brother.The two of them had always been at odds even before he was assigned the head of the Dragons instead of Luciaro.The two were at a silent and invisible battle and felt no brotherly feelings between themselves.
"Tonight?" Kai clicked his tongue in annoyance. "Meaning you already announced it." That wasn't a question that needed an answer.Ben didn't have a good father-son relationship with Kai.But the two knew each other like the back of their hand. "Tonight's her birthday and you will be both be engaged to each other.Everything should go smoothly Kai,do not exhibit your disrespectful behaviors to the Russo's" Ben warned.He knew how his son behaves when he is made to do something he doesn't want. "Resolve that matter quietly and don't let it ruin the engagement."
Kai sighed had so many things to say but simply chose to leave in silence.Once out,his pissed and irate expression becomes visible.He wasn't angry at all about the engagement.Hell,he felt nothing, arranged marriages were a tradition in the mafia as they only married into powerful families.One that would very well ensure stability amongst them.If she didn't like him they could call off the engagement.And if maybe they get tired of each other when married,he would grant her the flexibility of divorce.Something that rarely ever happenes.Mafia marriages only ends through the death of either a husband or the wife,so as to safeguard their secrets and dynamics with them.But he will be willing to be that flexible as he wasn't the type to get tied down by marriage.
Dimitri Luciardi,Leader of one of the seven mafia families of L country declared a war on the Dragons claiming his bride had been stolen by him.
Kai had no intentions of returning Sylvia to him as at that moment.She was going to marry a man more than twice her age.The thought made him mad.He felt like she shouldn't end up with someone like Dimitri.Holding her with him would only create a war even though the Costa nostra were not as prominent as the Dragons they were still a force in the underworld.They would most likely be defeated by the Dragons but it will also hit them a bit. His bodyguard open the car door for him as he got close.Sliding into the backseat he had his eyes closed to recollect his thoughts.
"Boss,there is a problem at the mansion" one of his bodyguards reported.Silence ensued as a cue for the bodyguard to speak up. "Miss Mannox was given something that she is allergic to and is currently at the hospital" Kai who had initially thought whatever the bodyguard was going to report would not be as bad as the engagement news as well as Dimitri's war declaration.Sprang out of his peaceful moment. "What did they feed her?Why was she taken to the hospital?" Kai bellowed,he was anxious.He had gave specific orders to the chef not to add any peanut product in her meals as he knew that she is allergic to them.He did a deep classified background check on her,prior to the abduction that was how he knew that.
The bodyguard trembled,he could feel the boss's anger.A strange aura emanated from him making the bodyguard unable to breath properly.He felt like the boss wanted to blow off the head of whoever is responsible for the accident.
"I-It was quite serious so they had to take her to a hospital" the bodyguard shakily explained. "What hospital was she taken to?!"
