Köhler (Book 9 of the Köhler Series)

𝐗𝐗𝐗𝐕𝐈𝐈

"Aww, look who came to grace us with their presence. Talia and the old man Konstantin." Melody laughed as Talia rolled her eyes and gave her the finger. All of them let out a laugh as Kon smirked. Xerxes knew he was waiting for one of them to speak.

"The old people are over there. Be gone! You're not welcome at our table anymore, T. You gots to hang with the old people now." Elijah said as Lia took her seat as if he had said nothing. For a moment, Konstantin looked around until X kicked out the chair across from him to sit.

"Ignore the twins. They are high and come as a package deal of stupidest."

"I told him this. I think Kon is still getting used to all your shit-talking." Talia spoke as a blonde chick walked up to the table with a huge smile. Nikolai sighed as his father cocked a brow, looking at the girl.

"Sasha, I told you we would send for you went the time was right."

"Я знаю, что ты сказал, папа, но я мог пропустить это мероприятие. (I know what you said Papa, but I could missed this gala.)."

Kon and Nikolai sighed, rubbing their hands down their faces as Xerxes and his brothers stared at each other. The girl was glaring holes through them, and it wasn't sitting well with their wives. Especially Riley and Gen's crazy asses. She also had the nerve to look over at Takahiro, which caused Kamaria to cock her gun.

"You have a daughter?"

"Three of them. Sasha is the only one of them that's hard at hearing. She was instructed to stay in Russia until she was called upon. Now that you are here, sit and behave! I don't want to have to bury two children." Kon said as Sasha looked around the table once more.

"Lex finally fucked up, I see. Is he dead, and does that mean you're Don now, Nikki?" She questioned as her brother nodded.

"Good, I hated playing nice with that asshole. Papa, you and T are finally together? You know I would love to have you as a stepmother, and thank you for the clothing.... Kamaria, isn't it? You can put away the gun. I don't want your husband. He is sexy, but I must admit the Köhler men are sexier, and who is he."

Everyone at the table turned, looking in the direction Sasha was pointing as Xerxes turned back with a brow raised. She was looking at Obasi, which Ndidi, his wife, was nowhere to be found once more. It was something about that woman that Xerxes didn't like, and he was going to find out.

"He's married and our uncle... so no. Tobias is a better fit for you." Melody smiled as she quickly grabbed the man's arm as he walked by. All of them thought he was about to run the way he looked down at the girl. Instead, he gave her one of their mother's looks.

"Tobias, this sexy ass woman here was wondering if you were single...or gay."

The man laughed, looking down at Melody as he nodded. "I'm single and not gay. I thought you were one of my cousin's children, so...."

"Oh, hell no! Ewww, I wasn't asking for me. Ja, I'm Adele's daughter, but that girl there wanted to know." Melody laughed, making Tobias as he shook his head, embarrassed. Maybe they should have introduced themselves first, or Melody should have pointed Sasha out.

"I thought so, but I'm single, and your name?" He asked as a woman passed, staring over at Xerxes. He wasn't the only one that saw it because Elijah tapped his shoulder while Takahiro and Reese shared a look.

There was no way in hell that Madison was brave enough to show her face at their gala. He knew that she was in South Carolina and thought the people the guard held outside until they reached the venue were hers. In the end, they were the only people who didn't have invitations, and yeah, her face was hidden by a mask. Still, Xerxes knew his sister, and there was no denying that it was her. X saw it, Elijah and Tanaka. Also, there was no way he was going to let her do something stupid like kill innocent people, so he quickly started to text his guards.
