𝐗𝐗𝐈𝐈

A few days later, Xerxes decided to do one of the family therapy sessions. It seemed like it was needed, especially since Talia had distanced herself away from the family. X knew it had something to do with Alexei and his wild urges. The man was there maybe a week and another that he was gone. Common sense should have told the man that they had eyes all over the city and knew what he was doing.

Xerxes couldn't understand why he agreed to marry his sister if he didn't want her. And if he was looking for an heir, it was best to look for a younger woman. Yes, Talia could still have children, but it would be just as it was with Dominick for her. Raising them all on her own. She deserved better, and he wasn't it.

"Am I the first one here?"

"Yeah, which is good because I want to speak with you before my sisters and dad dig into your ass," Xerxes spoke to Dominick. Quickly that man sat rubbing his hands together with a sigh. X had known for the longest that Dom was hiding shit from them, but it was nothing that could hurt them.

"You knew Alexei and Nikolai were your brothers. Didn't you?"

"I was told not to speak of it. My dad didn't want people to know that she was my mother. The woman didn't love me, and for a long time, I thought she was just my stepmom. It wasn't until your mother killed her that I found out. Alexei contacted me a few years ago, and I thought it was to get to know one another until he blamed me for the bitch death. I didn't see why on earth did he care so much when she threw him and Nikolai away as she did me." He spoke with a shrug.

"I think getting Talia to fall for him was a way of getting back at you. He wanted to make you suffer. He didn't realize where your relationship stood. I didn't mean any harm, Dom, and I know you love my sister, but you both deserve more than a fake marriage. She's hurting now, but it will get better for her. You need to talk to her."

"Not today... do you mind if I am excused... To let you know. I have noticed Konstantin has taken an interest in her...."

"If Talia wants a sugar daddy, that's up to her. But damn, I will tell you Konstantin's ass is fine as wine." Nova spoke, walking in, fanning herself while Victor rolled his eyes. X and Dom both laughed, but his aunt was right. It was up to Talia whom she wanted to be with. At the moment, he seemed like the better opinion. Still, it was disgusting if you asked Xerxes, but also none of his business.

"Uncle Vic is going to kill your ass one day. Keep talking about other men like that and find out, Auntie. You can leave Dom, but I meant what I said, and don't take that to heart. Get to know Nikolai and fuck Alexei."

Nova just shrugged, taking a seat as Victor followed, while Dom nodded and left. A few moments later, everyone else came in at once. Talia is one of the last to walk in, along with Konstantin holding her son. Xerxes had no problem with whom his sister decided to be with, but she seemed well put together when with him.

"I am going to start this shit with the teens and how it is important to tell your parent where, what, and when your ass are doing shit!" Neveah spoke, looking over at his twins, Elias and Ava. The four of them were thick as thieves. They were always separating themselves and away from the others as they did their dirty work.

"I don't know what you're talking about, Auntie. Or why are you looking over at us? Don't be pointing fingers over this way. We chilled."

"Elias!"

"Elias, hell! Elias didn't do shit, dad. Auntie is always talking her shit, saying that we did something just because she thinks your stick-in-the-mud children are better. What your son be doing? Ask him about those pills and that girl he got pregnant. But we the fuck up ones because we smoke weed and stay to ourselves. Well, I ain't gonna sit here and take this bullshit. You want to have therapy, let's have it, but attack you bitch ass son too." He spoke as Luca chuckled until Adele elbowed him in the side.
