Reign Santos-Valentino will soon be 21, which means much responsibilities, becoming head of his family's business. His very nonchalant and bad boy character attracts a lot of the girls but he is too much of a player to keep a girl. But as it's his t...

"REIGN SANTOS-VALENTINO get your butt down here ahora!" My mother shouts. (Ahora~ now)
I head downstairs as I see my mother, Rosalía Santos-Valentino with my father, Francesco Valentino sitting down at the dining table.
"What did I do now?" I ask confused.
My mother smiles at me and shakes her head. "Nothing, just need to talk to you but we know you wouldn't have taken it seriously if I asked nicely".
I roll my eyes as I join my parents. They both look at me with worried looks but I ignore it.
"So.. why was I called here?" I ask again.
My father coughs and my mother looks at him.
"So.. Reign you are almost 21 now and you know what that means for you right?" my mother says.
I slowly nod. "You eventually want me to take over for dad, which I am fine with but we already discussed this".
She nods. "Yes but it's deeper than that, we were going to address it when you were 18 but now you should know".
I look at them.
"You need someone, it's apart of the mafia culture to have someone that will rule with you. You think your father would've made it without me.. cause no he wouldn't have".
I hear my father gasp. "As much as I love you Rosalía, that is not entirely true. I would've done fine.."he says before she glares at him.
"Nevermind I would've done badly, I couldn't have done it without you muñequita" he changes his words quickly.
My father used to be the scary one but now it's my mother.
I shake my head. "Well you both are wrong, I think I will do fine just by myself".
My mother rolls her eyes. "You're just like your father.. it's frustrating".
He laughs. "It's how us Valentino men work".
She scoffs. "Stubbornness yes".
"I don't understand why I need a woman, I have my fun on my own just fine. I can run the Valentino-Santos empire fine just by myself" I argue.
My mother nods. "You're probably right but it is apart of tradition. I don't want my only son to waste his life hooking up with any woman he sees and not find happiness like we did".
I shake my head. "Mom I am not you and dad, I don't need happiness and if I do I will find it the way I want to".
She sighs and gives up. "Fine".
I look at my father to make sure he has given up as well. And he goes along with my mother as well.
I get up and I leave as I get ready to meet up with my friends. Tonight is his birthday and we want to celebrate it at the club.
