Regal : Majestic (Book #1) The Russo Series {Completed}

Chapter 29

Four Years later....

"Ricardo Russo, get back here" Alana shouts as she runs around the room to catch her son who laughs before throwing the ball towards his brother.

"Richard, don't you dare" she warns her son who looks from his mother to his big brother.

"But..." he goes to speak but stops as Richie enters the room.

"What's going on?" he asks as he looks from his sons to his wife and back towards his son.

"I have warned them time and again to not play football inside of the house, but do they listen?" she snaps at him.

"Out of the house" he orders and Ricardo shows his tongue before running out.

"That is not how you do it" Alana whines stomping her foot.

"But they are playing outside" he points out before sighing as she starts to cry.

"Why don't they listen to me and Ricardo is getting out of hands" she complains before hugging Richie who chuckles.

"Let him be, he is just a kid"

"Kid? He beat up his classmates and he ignore everything I ask him to do. Have you seen his room? It's pigsty"

"Are the cleaners not doing the..."

"That is not what I meant! I am just so tired"

"Where's Ry?" Richie asks looking around for his son.

"He is sleeping" she sighs tiredly.

"Why don't you go rest beside Ryman, he seems to help you calm down a bit" he smiles as he kisses on top of her head.

"Richard needs to finish his homework and Ricardo has not even finished his lunch"

"I will make them do it all, okay"

"Why do they listen to you more than me?" she complains as they walk towards their room.

"Sleep for few hours I will look after the boys"

"And your work?" she sighs getting on the bed before he holds her son's little finger while he was asleep.

"It can wait, now sleep, when you wake up you will feel better" he kisses on top of her head before leaving the room.

*******

"Dad, join us" Ricardo shouts as he passes the ball to his brother.

"Richard, your homework" Richie shouts and the boy stops playing.

"I will do it..."

"Now" he warns the boy.

"But dad, we are playing" Ricardo protests but Richie keeps staring at Richard who shuffles in his feet.

"Don't make me repeat myself" Richie warns, and the poor boy leaves the ball before he walks inside.

"Dad, that's not fair. We were playing" Ricardo complains.

Richie walks towards the ball and picks it up as he stares back at his son.

"I don't have any homework, so I can play yeah?" he grins before dodging the ball as Richie throws his way at once.

"Dad" he shouts as he barely dodged the all.

"Why did you fight at school?" he asks the boy.

"I did not"

"So, your mom is lying?" he questions and Ricardo groans.

"That guy started it"

"I don't care, what did we talk about not fighting at school?" he asks Ricardo who sighs.
