Finding Rhegitt Strife

Eight

*Strife Residence*

Everything was quiet inside the mansion, the one who brings life to the mansion was now gone. Everybody was thinking when could she be found, they missed her.

Rhegitt's father was having his usual coffee time outside, at the garden. He was composed but serious. He took a sipped from his cup when someone just arrived.

"Where is she Daniel?" He almost choked when he heard an old man's voice. He looked up and was surprised of seeing another important person in the Strife family.

"Where is my granddaughter?!"

Daniel Strife cooly put the cup down on the table. "Sit down Dad. Let's talk about this in a calm way."

"Calm? How can you be so calm if Rhegitt is missing to God knows where?!" The old man yelled. Daniel sighed and shook his head.

"Gramps!" The old man turned to face the eldest grandchild. Rad was smiling at him and gave the old Strife a man hug. "Its been so long since I last saw you Rad. " The old Strife pat his back they pulled away and Rad took a seat.

A maid with two cups of coffee arrived shortly and the old Strife sat down. Daniel was silent and thanked his son in his mind for interrupting the tension between him and old Strife.

"Yeah, I decided to come home and rest for a while. But this happened." Rad answered and took a sip from his cup. "I see."

"Do you have any news about her Dad?" Rad asked his father, Daniel looked at him and to the old Strife.

"Harold is doing his best." Daniel answered.

"Your men is too slow. I'll let my men handle the search." The old Strife said, and was fishing out his phone in his coat.

"Go ahead. You know Rhegitt, she's great at hiding if she doesn't want to be found." Daniel stood up and left the two behind.

The old Strife sighed, "What is Dad talking about Gramps?" Rad asked his grandfather.

The old Strife was about to speak but he was interrupted by his bodyguard. "Lord Kensington, someone is calling for you." His bodyguard handed him another phone.

"Hello?" The old Strife spoke.

"A tip of Rhegitt's whereabouts is located. She's in Europe." Kensington Strife nodded even if the caller can't see him. He ended the call and whispered to his bodyguard. "Search Europe, she could be there."  The bodyguard nodded and bowed before leaving.

"Who is it?" Rad asked curiously. He finished his coffee and his attention is now into the old Strife.

"Rad, you know the old Strife business right?" Kensington asked his grandson and the latter just nod.

"The mafia world your ruling." Rad answered. "Exactly."

"What is this all about Gramps?" Rad is now confused as why his grandfather is now being serious.

"Daniel is the only son I have and he only got two children. You and Rhegitt are going to be ruling the Strife Empire soon." Rad nodded, understanding where will the discussion leads.

"Both of you excels in your own ways and I am proud to the two of you. Rhegitt was the one who possessed the knowledge that the Empire needs, so I offered her a proposition." Rad was silent and let his grandfather continue.

"I told her I'll leave the mafia to her. All the gang boss has approved to my decision. All we need now is Rhegitt's decision." Rad was surprised, he knows Rhegitt will be the one who will rule the Strife Empire and he was okay with it. But becoming the Queen of the mafia world is not what Rad wants for his sister.
