Broken Laws of Attraction

Chapter 7: Father like Daughter

'Nothing is weaker or smaller than the man who hurts women or children, whether by his actions or words,'

~Unkown

He can't be serious about this.

The Golden Gala has held annually just before the next generation of leaders take over for the most notorious and malicious gang leaders around the world. Including Kaira Kapoor. It is held for leaders to trade, make deals and arrange marriages for their beloved children. However other legal businesses are also welcome, but those who know what we do never come. Those who don't know make the mistake to.

"No," she replies. "Why?"

"I don't want to go with you!" Kaira snaps at him.

"So you're going alone," Isaac assumes. She nods, throwing away her plastic container in the bin.

"Please come with me, I have never been before and I don't think you have either." Isaac continuing to plead. Even though Isaac essentially controlled New York City, he had never attended the Golden Gala. His father never went either, always stating it's not the kind of people he wanted to business with. Isaac now finally the head of the company could go. 

"I will have you known Mr Cruise, I have been to the Golden Gala since I was 18," Kaira stated proudly.

His eyes widened in disbelief and before he could ask anything. "I think it's time for you to leave Mr Cruise," Kiara quickly says wanting t get rid of him as soon as possible. He bins his container. Before he walks out, "Thank you, I hope to you see you there, Ms Kaira." He says, then winks leaving Kaira jaws dropping, before she could reply he left her dumbfounded.

The Gala is months away, Kaira knew that the men who were used to take Ira will be there, that means training, something she hasn't done since she was pregnant. She hasn't had any actions for years and now she couldn't wait. Kaira did prefer to train alone but she knew Enzo will want to train too.

Kaira starts making her way to Lola's cabin assuming he is in there, Kaira swings the door open to hopefully find to adults just talk. Oh, how wrong she was!

"Enzo I need to...OH MY GOD!" Kaira shrieked as she sees Enzo and Lola were having a full make-out session on her desk. 

"Enzo out now!" Kaira booms in fury as she slaps her hand across her eyes. "Lola fix yourself. Now!" Kaira walks and waits outside, both of them clearly need to sort themselves out.

"I assume she said yes," Kaira purposely asks as Enzo comes out glaring at her. 

"What do you want Kiara?" he growls, wiping lipstick off his face. Kaira sneers, "Time to start to train Enzo, 6 am tomorrow, gym," she says while walking to her office. She hears him groan, "You called me to tell me that, you could have texted me that," he shouts behind her.

"Where is the fun in that Enzo!" Kaira shouts back as she entered her office.

*~*~*~*

Beads of sweat trace Kaira's face as she continues to throw punches at the bag. Her knuckles have leaked blood into the white bandages she wrapped around before starting.

6:00 Beep! Beep!

The alarm in her watch goes off, Enzo should be here by now. Kaira looks around the barren gym. Except for the dim lights scattered around the gym, she saw nothing but the equipment. The door creeks, her eyes dart to it and shadowed figure appears through the threshold.

"Okay, Enzo you can come out of the darkness," she scoffs.

No reply. That's unusual, he normally replies once she knows it's him. She turns her attention to the dark figure, her hands reach to her back where she kept her knives. Her eyes scan the gym. She hears breathing, behind her. She pulls out the long knives that were attached to her back and swings it behind her.
