"Where's Rina?" Dmitri asked me and I nudged my head towards the bathroom "Taking a shower" I said and he shook his head "Now the two of them is being hunted, you actually think your father would send out men to kill his only daughter" Dmitri asked Damon who just sighed.

"It's all an act, he's a totally different person when he works" Damon said as he moved a little more comfortably on the couch "He wants everyone to think that he is that type of man who loves his daughters and his family but behind all that is only ugly darkness" Damon finished.

"There has to be reason, my father won't do anything if it doesn't benefit him in the long term especially looking at it right now" Dmitri said and I nodded.

"If he really is hunting the girls he must have thought this through, and he has a plan already set for it" I said adding to Dmitri's words.

"So, we are on the same team?" Damon asked making me turn to him "Protecting the girls, finding out the whole story" he explained. I looked towards Dmitri "What are you going to do when the truth comes out" he asked Damon and he looked like he already thought this through.

"Whatever is necessary to protect my sisters" he said sternly and I knew he would do anything to keep them safe. I nodded "We'll make a deal with you" I looked towards Dmitri and he nodded.

"However this ends when you take the throne and when I take mine we join hands and become one" I said because the day my father brought up the marriage I knew there was an alliance formed but it was only beneficial on certain aspects.

Being in this world you'll learn that rather than making alliance for short term, joining hands with another and becoming one will benefit us in long term. The day I knew I would take the throne someday, I knew that I would build our mafia to be the strongest with joining everyone together.

Ivanov's have been the strongest mafia in the history, it had been way before any of us had been born. Leon Ivanov, the king of Mafia - he had been my role model for as long I can remember. Him being my best friend's father had been an even big influence in my life when I was younger. Well by my best friend I mean Leon and my dad were close friends too which lead us to being close.

Alex and I had been close ever since we were diapers and we grew up together knowing he always wanted to work with me which his father did not agree at first because that meant working under me. He is the king's son after all, but Alex saw no such thing because our friendship was even bigger than that.

Alex and me had our own plans of joining our mafias together when he takes the throne so, that was my first step. The second step is what I'm doing now - securing the joining of Volkov's and Yevgeny's.

Yevgeny's had always been the mafia among us who did the dirty and dangerous work but their security was the fortress steel. That is what I need to make sure my mafia is the strongest yet the unbreakable.

"You help me keep my sister safe and when I take the throne we become one" Damon said making me smile and I turned towards Dmitri who had the same reaction. "Deal" I said getting up to shake his hand to seal the deal.
