Mafia Grandfather.

"You need to take a break and everything cool down first "

Adrian who had barged into his boss's office frowned , "Why should I take a break, we need to attack them now " he yelled.

She chuckled.

"Why don't you ask yourself why we let it go ?"

"What ?".

"We have all the resources to kill the Declays heir even without using Scarlet but decided to let it go . Do you know why ?"

"Because he bought your greedy asses with money or better deals " he stated.

"No, it's because the rumours are true " she said.

"Rumours...what rumours ?".

"You should know that while we where investigating him we found rumours about his family having ties to a very dark hidden mafia family . But the more we tried to find out more the trail went cold "

Adrian sighed.

"So you mean it's true ,they have ties to the mafia ?".

She nodded.

"But not just any a very powerful one ,and he seemed to have caught on to our plans when we attempted to kill Declays " she said.

"So what ...did they threaten you ?" Adrian asked.

"They dobt have to , there reputation is enough to stop us . And there leader personally contacted us ".

"What does he want ?".

"Patience ,he said we would have our assassin back as long as we play along " she explained.

"Have Scarlet back ,what do you mean ?".

"Scarlet has been engaged to the Declays heir which will put her in a position now hard to reach and we still need her services . But we don't think she will return willingly now that she knows we betrayed her "

Adrian sighed ,knowing what she meant by the last part.

"How is this person going to make her return to us ?" He asked.

"For that we wait . So if you still want to see her again I request you stop bothering her and calm down " she suggested.

"But how can you trust the words of mere stranger"

She smiled.

"Adrian listen to me and don't do anything for now. Let us handle this ,our organisation can't fully operate with our best assassin. We will lose clients and that means our power " her cold eyes glanced at him.

He nodded.

...

"Mom .." Charlotte came into her mother 's room .

"Yes honey " she frowned noticing the worried look on her face.

"Brother is going to be pissed " she let out.

"About ?".

"Grandfather...he said his on the way coming " she let out.

"What ....why ? Did you say anything to him about the engaged ?" asked her mother.

Charlotte blinked .

"I didn't but he saw my media account updates about brother's engagement " she let out.

Her mother sighed , "we need to do something to stop him from coming ".

"It's too late right now , hos already on his way" Charlotte paced around. "Mother am afaird something bad is going to happen if they see each other with brother ".

"Don't worry ,right now the only thing bringing him is to see the woman your brother is engaged to " she said.

Charlotte fell back.

"And that is even worse , if his to disagree then they will definitely fight "

"No they won't ,we won't let that happen ".

"Mother....if his to bring that nasty woman with him .. argh then I also won't be able to hold it . She gets on my nerves ".

Her mother smirked.

"Darling if your grandfather is coming here to stop the wedding them let's not stop him".

"Ahhh.....".

"It's time we got rid of the woman and the only person to do it is Alara ". She said.

"Alara ....mother you forget that even if they are engaged it's only for the baby . Sister in law doesn't seem to really love brother " Charlotte pointed out.

Her mother tapped her back.

"Your still lacking my dear ....Alara does love your brother she just doesn't know it yet "

"Ahh..really ?".

Her mother nodded.

...

"You have been sleeping the whole ,want a massage" Alara woke up taking the plate of berries from her mother.

"Am sorry , I turned lazy since I got pregnant. I want to sleep all the time " she muttered.

"It's okay , growing another human in you is alot of work and as a mother I know . You need to rest and eat enough " she took her daughter's foot pressing gently down on it.

She smiled.

"Thanks mom" she breathed.

"I haven't seen your fiancée anywhere today ?"

"I told him to go back to work , ever since we got here his done nothing but follow me around it was starting to piss me off " she threw two more berries in her mouth .

Her mother chuckled.

"He cares for you ,you need to let him express it . It's good for you and the baby ' said her mother.

"His too much sometimes and he needs to do his other duties too. We can't be the only priority " she chewed down on the cherries.

"Am glad you found someone who treasures you , am not worried anymore " her mother said.

"Huh, worried , why would you be worried ?".

"You only thought about work and nothing else , I always worried you wouldnt find a suitsble man"

Alara sighed.

"With my line of work it would be impossible ".

"It's not anymore , your going to be married to a man who loves you and can give you a comfortable life. And giving me a grandchild soon, I am more than happy " she laughed.

Alara chuckled.

"Well am glad one of us is happy . I would but with all my emotions everywhere . I can't seem to think of anything than sleeping and eating ".

They both laughed.

"It's because your pregnant . It will get worse but I now you can do it ".

"Mom your scaring me now " she cried out.

"Don't worry you can handle it " encouraged her mother .

"I don't think I will "

They went on chatting and laughing until she dozed off again.

When she stepped out ,Alara's mother bumped into Rae who had just got back.

"Mother " he hugged her.

"Welcome back " she said.

"Thank you , how is she ?" He asked.

"Back to sleep , but you can go in " she said seeing the anxiousness in his eyes. He wanted to see her.

"Maybe later , I might wake her " he stopped himself.

She giggled , "You want to see her ?".

He nodded . She gestured him to lower down and he bent closer to her.

"She wants to see you too, she couldn't stop talking about you through the day " she whispered.

He smiled , "then I will go right in" she stepped aside and watched him slowly open the door and get in.
