"Yuri please, I'm doing this to protect you. Things are getting bad out there and we're all making sacrifices for the people we care about........." I said continuing the argument we've had for the last three hours. Yuri looked at me and turned his head back to the game, knowing I hated being ignored. "Look I'm sending my sons some place safe, Khalil and Gonzo are doing the same with their kids why can't you see what I'm trying to do....... if something were to happen to you I......"
"Zy listen, I've never once ran from a fight and I don't plan on starting now. How do you think I would feel sitting on some beach in Italy knowing that my friends the people I care about are in danger?" Yuri said jumping up.
"Yuri these dudes Cain and Caleb...... they're willing to hurt anyone close to my family, Nico got shot just for being Devin's friend, they tried to snatch up Noah....... and then there's Ymir. I sent Khalil to talk to him but he made it perfectly clear that he hated you with a passion god knows what he's willing to do to you......" I said taking a step towards him. "And you know I won't do anything to hurt him.... but I can't promise he won't try to hurt you."
"A lifetime of misery....." Yuri said laughing spitefully. "If there's one thing about my twin it's when he makes a promise he keeps it, Ymir won't hurt me because then he won't have anyone to torment for the rest of his life and even though I know he's trouble I won't stop looking for his redemption." Yuri said grabbing my drink from my hand,
"Please reconsider......." I said kissing him. Yuri looked at me and smirked playfully.
"Nah I'm good, I'm wherever you are and if these two idiots try something I'll just have to show them how we do in Fayetteville." Yuri said walking away. "Now get the fuck outta here you gotta meet with your brothers and I gotta get ready to head to the studio." Yuri said winking at me. I shook my head and walked out, as soon as I was in my car I pulled out my phone.
"Wassup boss?" The head of my security said.
"I want around the clock security around Yuri, if anyone so much as takes a selfie with him I wanna know about it and Di Marino tell the people you put on him that if anything happens to him, there will be nowhere they can hide to escape my wrath." I said hanging up.
I got to Khalil's house and everyone was standing the living room, tension was thick so I knew it was an intense conversation much like the one I just had with Yuri. Marcus paced back and forth while Khalil sat there quietly.
"I'm not leaving Khalil......" Marcus said firmly and Khalil threw his glass at the wall scaring everyone in the room except me.
"You will if I say you are, Marcus you're not above this. Michelle is already gone, Mireya is gone, hell even Enzo got Tia outta here. We're all sending the people we love away for a couple days until we catch up with Cain and Caleb, which shouldn't take too long thanks to Legacy damn near every police officer in the city are looking for them. I'm willing to send our entire family outta the country to make sure no one gets hurts, even Kylan." Khalil said heated.
"Why do I have to leave though? I'm just as safe here as I will be halfway across the world..... Khalil what's wrong?" Marcus asked as Khalil started rubbing his chest.
"It's nothing....... Marcus I can't have you here because if something happens to you I'll die and we can't leave our kids without their parents. Please just go upstairs and pack."Khalil said and I could see the fear in Marcus's eyes, he nodded once and hugged Khalil who smiled at me and I shook my head.
"That's low Khalil using your heart problems to manipulate him.... I'm proud of you." I said quietly.
"By any means necessary, what about Yuri? Is he leaving or does he wear the pants in your relationship?" Khalil said smiling.
"He's a rider..... he's willing to weather the storm here with me and let's not get things twisted I'm still running things unlike you. We both know if you hadn't started faking chest pains Marcus would be staying here as well." I said nudging him.
"Oh I wasn't faking, I just used it to my advantage. But look Zy 96 hours.... four days that's how long this should take before it's over there's no need for it to take longer than that." Khalil said.
"And what exactly are we going to do when we find your cousins?" I asked and Khalil started to say something but someone started knocking on the door, I opened it and Sa'vion stood there nervously with a little boy in his arms.
"Umm...... I got everything you asked for it's in his bag, where can I put him?" Sa'vion asked. Khalil told Noah to take Kylan upstairs and Sa'vion sat on the couch next to Cam and Devin. "So where exactly are y'all sending my son?" Sa'vion asked.
"It's best if even you don't know, you might slip up and say something to your cousins." I said and Sa'vion jumped and walked over to me.
"Let's get one thing clear, I would NEVER put my son in danger...... so you might wanna watch your mouth." Sa'vion said standing six inches away from me.
"You might wanna back up Sa'vion I'm still pissed about you punching me in the face a couple years ago and I might just forget that you're Khalil's brother." I said smiling, but Sa'vion didn't back down and I saw in his eyes the same anger that I've come to respect in Khalil, Cam and Devin.
"Alright that's enough..... everyone should probably chill out tomorrow is going to be an emotional day for everyone and the last thing we need is to start turning on each other." Khalil said putting his hand on Sa'vion's shoulder. "Good night y'all......" Khalil said walking away. Sa'vion walked out the house and I did what any smart businessman would do I had someone follow him........
The next morning we were all standing at the airfield saying our goodbyes and for the first time in a long time I was close to tears, as I looked at Toussaint and Trinity.
"Alright Saint you know my rules don't let anyth....." I started to say but Saint cut me off.
"Don't let anything happen to Trinity I know dad." He said looking away.
"Trinity don't let anything happen to Saint either, aight come on give me a hug and I'll see y'all in a couple days." I said pulling them both into hug. "I love y'all." I said kissing the top of their heads. Me, Khalil, Gonzo, Devin, Cam and Legacy stood there watching as our family disappeared into my private jet.
"So where are we going now?" Gonzo said looking at us.
"We're heading to my office, except Legacy who has to get back to work." I said, my phone started ringing and my mind went straight to Yuri. "Y'all go ahead I'll catch up...... what's going on?" I asked walking off to the side.
"Mr. Prater....... umm well, it's....." My heart was pounding whatever it was made Di Marino nervous. "Your mother.... she's here at the office." He said, I rushed all the way back to my office and ran all the way to my office to find my mother sitting at my desk smiling.
"I have to give it to Cain and Caleb...... when they said they had something planned for me you were the last thing that I expected Linda." I said smiling. "I told you that you better pray I didn't find you and yet here you are."
"Zyshaun you've always known where I've been, you've been having me followed since I walked out of your office five years ago." Linda said smiling. "But I also to you that there were things about me that you didn't understand but you'd find out soon enough." Linda said standing up and walking over to me.
"And what pray tell might that be? Make it quick because my brothers are waiting to discuss a few things." I said calmly. "That should give you plenty of time for a head start."
"I'm not going anywhere Zyshaun, at least not until you meet my daughter..... your sister." Linda said. I looked in her eyes searching for any sign of a bluff and found none.
"Get the fuck out my office......" I said clenching my teeth, Linda smiled, touched my cheek and walked out. "KIM...... GET IN HERE!!!!" I yelled as soon as Linda was gone, my secretary ran into my office looking nervous. "I need a favor......" I said, Cain and Caleb had caught me off guard. I wasn't expecting them to use Linda to throw me off but I got something planned for all of them and for the bitch that probably gave the information about my mom.......................
