After Xerxes and Riley's trip to Paris, his father called him to come back to Germany. So, from Paris, they went straight to Germany to see what bullshit he was about to fuss about now. They arrive midday which meant he was going straight to the main house to talk to his father, and Riley went to their home to sleep some more.

"X!" Kamara and Axel yelled as he walked into the house. They came running up about to hug him, but he jumped back, realizing what Kamira had in her arms. Milo, his great grandmother's cat. The bitch was still alive and kicking. How he didn't know. Hell, the little fucking outlived all six of his parents' dogs plus his sister's nasty ass cat Niblet.

"Don't... Touch me holding that evil ass cat."

"Xerxes, Milo isn't going to hurt you. You and Dad swear that cats are evil. Then Dad loves Lucky and Asha and their cubs, but they are big cats."

"And I don't like them either. Where's Dad?"

"In his office," Axel said, pointing to their dad's office as he played with his fingertips. Telling Xerxes he had didn't something that he wasn't supposed to.

"What you do, AJ?"

"I-I-I broke Mommy's vase i-in the h-hallway. I'm sorry the ball slipped from my hands."

Xerxes nodded as he walked up to one of the maids telling her to clean up the broken glass, then looking online real quick to see if he could find another one like it.

"Go to the playroom with the rest because I know Kierra and Levi are in there. Is Uncle Vic here too?"

"No, he's on a mission or something, and Aunt Natalie is with Mama."

Again, Xerxes nodded, pointing toward the playroom as he made his way to his father's office to see what the fuck he wanted now. As always, he was sitting at the desk looking at his laptop when he walked in.

"Don't you know how to fucking knock?"

"I do, but Mom isn't home, so I figured it would be fine. Unless you over there looking at porn jacking or some shit," Xerxes said, laughing. Making Luca raised a brow, looking at him like he lost his fucking marbles as he pointed at the chair in front of his desk.

"Sit your ass down before I punch you in your fucking face. Besides, I don't need to jack when your Mother is always willing."

"OH MY GOD, DAD! NO ONE WANTS TO HEAR THAT!" Xerxes yelled, making his father laugh as he shook his closing his laptop.

"You got want you asked for."

Xerxes nodded because he was the one that opens his big fucking mouth about him jacking. He didn't expect him to say some crazy shit like that. What more did he except thought because all of them knew Luca had no filter.

"What you wanted to talk to me about?"

"Your wedding and when it would be. I was thinking in a month here in Germany by that time. It will be warm enough to do it outside or maybe at our event hall because I know Riley's family and all of your friends from the States will want to come."

Xerxes tilted his head to the side. He loved his father, but he was trying to tell him he and Riley had to but married in a month when he gave them six. He wanted Riley to have the wedding she wanted, not what their fucking parents wanted.

"Dad, you and Rodney gave us six months. It's only been few days since I proposed. Can you let it soak in that we are engaged before making us plan a wedding?" Xerxes said, making his father look up as he stood.

"This isn't up for discussion Xerxes. In a month, you and Riley will marry. Do want you need but a month from now she will be Mrs. Riley Brooks-Kohler."
