When one of Kohler's goes missing, it leaves a trail of clues and mysteries for the others to solve. Are they being pursued by a new foe, or did they flee on their own? Also, fresh knowledge about Adele's father's family comes to light in the years...
Xerxes stood quietly as he thought about his next move. It was the first time he and Henry were alone in the same room after finding out about his daughter being pregnant. He thought about killing the man. But what good would that do besides leaving his grandchild without a father? Beating him wouldn't have done anything either because Xylia was just as much to blame as he was. Maybe all of this was his fault for placing a boy as young as Henry to guard his children, and just as the others stated, it could have been any of the girls; it just had to be his daughter.
"Sir, I never meant for this to happen. I understand my faith, but...."
"I'm not going to kill you, Henry. What is the point? People fuck up every day... hell I still fuck up. Before you think I'm going to force you to marry my daughter. I'm not going to do that either. Actually, I'm going to step back and let the two of you figure this shit out on your own. You got yourselves into this shit. So, you got to figure out a way to make it work. Whether you are together or not."
"Yes, sir."
"Although, you should have come to me... It would be best if you had come to me when you first started noticing Xylia's behavior. My daughters are like their mom. They know how to work people to get what they want, and truthfully they don't stop until they do. It's my fault I spoiled them, but your duty as a guard was to come to me when something wasn't right." Xerxes spoke, handing the boy a piece of paper. Quickly he went pale, looking from it at him as if he was about to cry.
"You're firing me, sir... this job is the only thing I have."
"Henry, no one is firing you. Giving you a new job is more like it. My uncle tells me that you like to tinker with cars. You helped him fix his bike a few months back, so I'm giving you a job at the chop shop. Same paid and everything."
"Thank you, Don." He bowed just as Riley walked in. "Donna, I...." before he could get his words out, Riley's hand slid across the boy's face making him nod and step back. Yes, she was still angry, and Xerxes couldn't blame her.
"You don't know how fucking bad I want to kill your ass! I hate you for what you have done to my fucking child... but I can't blame you solely. I don't know if you were having fun because my daughter gave it to you or do you actually care for her. What I know now is you have a baby on the way, and you will be there for your baby. Don't string my daughter along. If you don't want her, Henry, make that known now, not later." She sighed, shaking her head. "Go, she's in her room. Harper, show Henry where your sister's room is, and no fucking funny business in my damn house."

Madison was between a rock and a hard place. She wanted to turn back with all she had done but knew it was too late. She had only two years to finish this; the second year was creeping up fast. Maddi had spent a whole year looking for Jasira, who turned out to be looking out for herself, and she wasted time last year at the Halloween party when she should have grabbed Xavier and ran then. Still, all of it would have gone to hell because there was no way she could ever rule the Abdullahi Mafia. That much was clear to her now.
