"Fucking really, Adriel?" Riley said, holding an ice pack up to her husband's face as Reece and Elijah tried not to laugh. Caleb and Neveah could help themselves as Heaven and Aaron shook their heads at their spouses.

"I mean, if you were there... priceless. Come on, little brother, you and Dad fight and bump heads a lot, but you knew you fucked up insinuating he tried to fuck that skank...."

"The moment he knew he had fucked up," Elijah laughed. Xerxes glared at the two of them while Reece stayed hidden, laughing to himself. Nicole had to leave the room, and Riley was pissed at all of them for laughing.

"Are yall done?"

"Hell No, Xerxes! I'm sorry, but you got knocked the fuck out!" Elijah laughed as Adele walked into the room with her doctor's bag.

"Leave him alone!" Adele glared, making Elijah laugh harder. "Baby, you know better was standing your Father like that. How is your head? Be grateful that Reece was standing behind you, and you didn't fall completely back," Dele said, checking his heart rate and breathing.

"Is something wrong with him?" Nicole said. Adele shook her.

"Hardheaded, but X is fine. He was a preemie, so he has heart problems, asthma, and something that he developed from me iron deficiency."

"Marie has that too," Nicole said, making Adele look over at her before kissing her son's bruised face and cradling his head for a moment. The other boys much have gotten jealous because they rolled their eyes and sucked in a breath.

"I'm fine, Ma... I know I fucked up which I will talk to him. I'm sorry for not listening to you. This proves we would have been going in blindly. We need knew nothing of what Karla looked like. Only the brother. I will call...."

"Already taken care of. Your Father called in a favor to someone." She said.

"Señor, llegué tarde, però acabo de encontrar una noticia devastadora. Los Gordon y Köhler's tienen una línea como una. ¿Todavía quieres seguir el plan? (Sir, I was late, but I just came across some devastating news. The Gordons and Köhler's have aligned as one. Do you still want to follow the plan?)." Diego said. Emilio didn't have a problem with the Köhler's, but it looked like they were going to stand in his was way getting who he wanted. The Gordons bought some much hell to his mafia, and he wanted Reece's and the rest of the bastard's heads on a platter.

"Si. Los Köhler's se colocaron en medio de todo esto. Morirán junto con los Scotts. Por suerte para mí, Christian acaba de revelar su ubicación. Prepara a nuestros hombres, amigo mío. (Yes. The Köhler's placed themselves in the middle of all this. They will die along with the Scotts. Luckily for me, Christian just revealed their location. Prepare our men, my friend.)." Emilio said. Diego nodded, walking from the room. This was a long, very long time coming.

"Hey, I've been meaning to ask you what happened to the Spanish Mafia?" Xerxes asked, taking the seat next to Reece. He shrugged his shoulders. Emilio Pérez Mafia had been quiet for the last eight years. He wasn't even sure if the man was still alive, he had many enemies, not including him.

"I don't know he when off the radar. Trust me. I've been looking for the bastard. I got this weird fucking feeling he is going to pop up when I least expect it. That's how they do it, right? You would think his ass would have given up by now, but like all the others, he is out for revenge for something my father did."
