"Vince, have you talked to Gen? She was supposed to be looking over some things for me--"

"If you talking about that shit with Hanna. She didn't find shit. We both know Hanna is a hacker, too. It's going to be hard to track her down, cousin. Maybe we should focus on finding Juan instead," Vince said, making Xerxes rub his beard thinking.

Juan wasn't a big threat at the moment unless he found himself a new army which X doubt he did. On the other hand, Hanna had to be working with someone, but why and it didn't make it better that they had threatened his children.

"Juan isn't a threat at the moment. The muthafucker is running for his life. He probably had all this thought out in his head but didn't count on us being this strong. We need to find out who Hanna is working with and why she is coming after family­-- before you say it, I know the only one that can tell me that is our parents. I'm going there now," Xerxes said as Vince nodded.

Xerxes already told Riley to meet him at the main house. He would have told their parent to meet him at theirs, but it was hard to get them to leave once they were there. They loved their parents but didn't want them to be in their shit all the time.

"X, Grandpa Bastian bought me a snake--"

"He bought you a what?" Xerxes asked to make sure he heard his little brother correctly. "He bought me a snake. You want to see it."

"Do Ma and Dad know?" He said AJ shook his little head no. Xerxes laughed to himself. Once their parent found out it was going to be a dead snake. Their Dad didn't mind but still didn't like them. Their mom and the other females in the house were terrified of them.

"I will come see it later. I need to see Ma and Dad, but you better not let Mama know about your little friend if you want him to live," Xerxes said, kissing his little brother's head as he nodded it.

"She won't, Papa and Grandma said they would keep him on their side of the house, and I can't let him out unless they are there," He said before walking away. After then X made his way to his Dad office, knocking before walking in. Riley was already there with the babies which his parents were holding.

"I change my mind, Xerxes. You and Riley need more babies now. Your punk-ass mama and dad are hogging my grandbabies," Paris said, making him look back and forward between the four shrugging his shoulders.

"I can't help you there, Ma Paris. I don't think Riley and I can handle more right now. Xylia and Xavier are spoiled enough, and they only three months old... I call this meeting for a reason. Dad, Gen did some digging, and text messages I've received are coming from a burner phone with Aunt Hanna's name attached to it. I need to know why she is she after us and why now?"

Luca looked over to Vic and the rest of his cousins before looking back at Conard. All of them sighed, shaking their heads, making X and Riley confused. Xerxes went to open his mouth, but his father stopped him.

"Revenge. I know this was coming, and I wanted to think otherwise. I knew it went. Your aunt never moved on from your Uncle Jacob something like this would happen. Hanna blames Conard, Chris, and Jaxon for his death. Your Opa too, but he's already dead."

"So is Uncle Jax, but why threaten to take our babies."

"HOT FUCKING DAMN!" Paris yelled, causing the babies to jump and his parents to glare at her. "It's not Hanna who is after the babies. It's Richie--"

"Paris, you not making any sense. Who the fuck is a Richie, and how the fuck you know about his, and we don't," Luca asked, glaring at X.

"Don't worry about that, Luca. Richie is my punk-ass brother's son that I killed. We didn't know that he had a son until a few weeks ago when Gen found out about the number linked to the burner phone. Your son didn't tell you because they were still digging. Plus, he is our Don now, not the other way around. So, he didn't have to tell you shit." Paris said, causing Adele to choke on air as Luca gripped her thigh.
