Paris walked into the main house, living pissed with Adele right on her heels. All their parents were out of town for the past weekend talking shit about finding themselves again. Something that Xerxes, Riley, or none of the rest cared to hear about. X and Ri sighed, seeing their mothers then fathers walked throw the door.

"YOU FUCKING HAD HIM XERXES ADRIEL KOHLER! TELL ME WHY THE FUCK YOU LET THAT MAN GO!" Paris yelled as Xerxes sat there unfazed, looking over at his wife, who held her head down.

"I don't have to answer to you. Oh wait, let me rephrase that we don't have to answer to you. In case you forgot, your daughter and I are Don and Donna of this fucking mafia. What we say goes now. If you want to sit down and talk to me right maybe, I will consider telling you why I let him go."

"YOU LITTLE WET BEHIND THE EARS, MUTHAFUCKER! I DON'T WHO THE FUCK YOU THINK TALKING TO!"

"MAMA, PLEASE! I DON'T NEED MY HUSBAND AND MOM AT EACH OTHER NEC--"

"QUIANNA, SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Pairs yelled, making Xerxes stand, and Riley grabbing his hand, which he jerked away. She let out a sigh look over to her dad, Luca, and Adele for help. All three looked away.

"PARIS, I UNDERSTAND YOU ARE UPSET, BUT YOU WILL NOT FUCKING YELL AT MY QUEEN! YOUR FUCKING DONNA! DAUGHTER OR NOT, SHE IS YOUR MUTHAFUCKING DONNA, AND YOU WILL RESPECT THAT! NOW WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IS SHUT THE FUCK UP BEFORE YOU FIND YOURSELF IN A PLACE YOU DON'T WANT TO BE IN! UNDERSTOOD!"

Xerxes yelled, making his voice ring out with understood. The shit scared Riley. He never did anything like that before, so she knew it scared her mom. Paris nodded as she quickly sat in the seat across from them.

"Mama, I'm--"

"Riley," Xerxes said in a warning voice, making her nodded sitting back on the couch trying to hold her tears.

"Babygirl, you have to learn that she may be your mother, but you are also her Donna. When she passed her Donna title over to you, that was the last day she could demand anything out of you. Such as our business of what we do as Don and Donna. I don't care if it was my mother or yours. She will not disrespect my queen." He said, kissing her cheek as he wiped her tears while she nodded.

"So, you went through with the plan that you talked to your father about and me about?" Rodney said, and X nodded. Paris looked at Luca and Rodney, ready to rip their heads off. Rodney smirked at his wife, making Xerxes shake his head.

"I did. He tried to run, and our decoy called as she should. It was quite easy taking his son. The son of a bitch was arguing so hard with Aria he didn't notice me walk by picking him up."

"Isn't he like three or four? He didn't cry for his dad?" Rodney asked, and Xerxes shook his head no. Hell, if he was Jose, he wouldn't cry for the bitch either.

"No, if you saw all the bruises on that poor boy. You wouldn't cry either if someone took you, and he's two... Also, we have a bit of an issue I wanted to talk to you about. I know you and Ma were in the room when Jose called Luke and Gen mommy and daddy. He has attached himself to them over the weekend... I mean, I don't feel right ripping him from his safe place. What do I do?"

"Do Gen and Luke have a problem trying care of the boy?" Luca asked, making Xerxes look to Riley, who stared back. He thinks she was a little upset with him, but he would handle that later.

"Gen, don't she actually quite good with him, and he's a good child. He listens and everything, but if you make a sudden movement at him, he holds up his hands in defense. You heard Lucas. He swears the child is a cockblocker." Xerxes said, causing his dad and Rodney to laugh.
