Hey guys, sorry for posting so late. Your girl has been through a lot the past weeks. Too much work, too many panics attacks and existential crisis - you know the usuals. I hope you enjoy this chapter :)

Author's POV

It was a quite ride to the main's family mansion. Nop was driving while Vegas was sitting in the back with an unreadable expression on his face. It was difficult enough to restrain himself from breaking Pete during sex but leaving him when he submitted himself was the hardest think that Vegas ever done.

Even though Vegas had promised in the past that Pete would be his top priority, reality didn't agree with his plan. He wasn't the head of the Minor family, Porsche was. However, Porsche knew nothing about leading the Minor family, not even Kinn. The two families were different when their parents were the heads of the two families.

When Porsche took over, he needed to prepare for the transition. He needed to learn every work that the Minor had. He needed to learn all of the clients and how to approach them. Porsche was trying hard to be an effective lead of the Minor family, but he was lacking. He is lacking leadership skills. Even if the bodyguards of the Minor family changed, the newcomers were respecting more Vegas than Porsche.

The main reason behind this, is the fact that Porsche was staying with Kinn at the Main's family house, while the bodyguards were staying in the Minor's family Mansion – Vegas house. Even though he wasn't the head, he still used the Minor's mansion to accommodate the bodyguards, and he developed an every day relationship with them.

"We have arrived, Khun Vegas", Nop said, and Vegas just hummed. The later opened the door and exited the car with 5 bodyguards waiting to greet him at the entrance.

"Good evening, Khun Vegas", a bodyguard in his mid-30s said and greeted Vegas. "Khun Porsche is waiting for you, please follow me", the bodyguard continued and showed the way to Porsche's office.

After a few minutes, the young bodyguard knocked on the door and Porsche's voice was heard, "Come on in". With that, the door was opened, and we entered the room.

Vegas' POV

"Finally", Porsche exclaimed as soon as he saw me.

"Hello everyone, sorry for being late", I addressed the three people in front of me. In the room we were 6 people, Porsche, the two lawyers, me, Nop, and Porsche's bodyguard.

"Khun Vegas, it has been a long time since we last spoke", one of the lawyers, Jackson, said and stood up. When I reached the table that they were sitting at, Jackson greeted me with a handshake, while Mork, the other lawyer stood up as well and waited for his turn to greet me.

"That is true Jackson. We haven't met in a while", I said, and we all sat down.

I could see that they were already discussing the clauses in the contract with the Japanese, as paper were spread out on the table.

"Where are we standing?", I asked no one in particular.

"Mizuki contacted me earlier this morning and he said that the contract that we sent them was wrong", Porsche started explaining and I look at him.

"What do mean?", I asked back. "We have revised and reviewed the contract many times with them, and they were pleased with the final version. I don't understand what they don't like", I continued.

"That's the thing Vegas. I think that they are in contact with the Italians and they proposed a more beneficial contract to them", Porsche said while frowning and looking at the papers in front of him.
