After Xerxes got off the phone, Luca let out a long sigh. At least he could be thankful that his oldest daughter was coming home in a few days. He also felt a little better after learning more about the Nigerians and what they wanted, which was something they would never get. His head and the head of his brother. The question was: Why wait over a year after Emmanuel's death?

What was the point of it all? The only explanation Luca could provide was that their bloodline had become impure. Too many members that weren't blood-related, and Emmanuel didn't make it any better by killing off his children. Also, Manuel managed to convince all the Abdullahi relatives that his parents had tainted their lineage by producing him. The same thing happened with Luca's grandpa, but he thought it was all a load of racist bullshit. Luca refused to accept this and decided to wipe out his mother's whole bloodline if needed.

"Well least we know why they are still after us. That still doesn't tell us who they are." Elijah said, breaking the silence that was killing everyone in the room. Although it didn't help, it was a start. The drama was still ahead of them; as always, they knew very little about the person after them and the Russians.

"It was never a secret, idiot. We knew the Nigerians were after us. We need to know who is the head of this newly modeled mafia if it's not Emmanuel's fallback child." Lucas spoke.

"Yeah, and that means we need to find him... or her before whoever this is finds out about them. It seems they don't know about Emmanuel's secret child yet, but I'm sure it won't take much longer."

"Find them and do what, X? Do you think that child would be on our side knowing that we killed their dad? Bringing him here is just risking our family more." Jeremias said as Luca, Rodney, and Angus shook their heads. Xerxes couldn't tell if they agreed with him or Jeremias.

"I'm conflicted on this one. I agree with both of you. Xerxes is right in a way, and so is Mias. We need to find out if they knew about their father, but we also need to look at it as they are in danger. Either way, the Nigerians are going to kill them. We all know a fallback child can go one way or another. They can be corrupted or innocent. Either way, we need to try to protect them Nigerians." Angus speaks, making everyone in the room look at one another confused, until Adele spoke.

"Are you telling me that all Dons have fallback children?" She asked as Angus shrugged, making her head snap over at Luca.

"Liebe, I don't know why the fuck you're looking at me like that. We have too many damn children for me to want a fallback child. Shit, all the children we have, why would I need a fallback. I just went in order of my sons Lucas wasn't fit to be Don...."

"Hey, what the fuck is that supposed to mean?"

"Exactly what I said. You were not fit to be Don, and Elijah would have been if Xerxes wasn't fit enough. It would have been the same if something happened to X. All we had to do was go down the line. As I said, there was no need to have one. I think you need to look at Rodney or Jeremias for that one." Luca laughed.

"Luc, don't do that fucking shit. Three fucking kids were enough, and I would never cheat on Paris like that." Rodney said, rubbing Paris's thigh as she smiled over at him. On the other hand, Jeremias laughed, shaking his head and looking over at his wife.

"Don't fucking start Giselle. I would never cheat on your crazy ass. I love my life too much. Shit, I never looked at another woman since meeting your ass but living in a community with a bunch of beautiful women...."

"You're such an asshole!" Giselle yelled, making X and the rest raise a brow. All of their parents were weird, and they tried their best not to pay them attention.
