XANDER'S POV:
"We are going to change our trading route. This route had become a problem for us now. The police raided that area twice last week." I announce looking at everyone.
"I believe if we are more careful, we can pull this off." Lorenzo speaks up.
"Exactly capo, with all due respect, we are known best for our smuggling. We can smuggle anything with great ease. And the police is ours." Juan adds.
"No. The capo is right. We can't take the risk we're talking about two hundred and twenty two pounds of cocaine and that shit's expensive. More than three billions. We need high security, expert drivers and a proper small yet strong team to complete this task." Frederick speaks leaning forward.
"I second him." Dad says and continues "We're offering the best of best as a gift to the Mexicans for alliance. We need to do it cleanly and smoothly."
Leo and I nod in unison. It is very important for us, specially in future.
"And what do we get in return?" Vincent asks.
"Forty percent shares in the biggest cartel. Mexican cartel." I reply. (A/N: CARTEL IS A DRUG TRAFFICKING ORGANIZATION)
Their eyebrows shoot up at the new information and I nod my head in confirmation.
"I-" I start but am cut off by the door opening.
My sharp gaze travels to the door but immediately softens looking at little Anna who is standing in the door wearing her mickey pajamas, clutching a big teddy bear tightly to her chest.
"What happened baby?" Dad asks but she keeps looking at me with those wide puppy eyes.
"What's up little one? It's very late you should be asleep." I say walking towards her and squatting down to her eye level.
"I can't sleep. I had a bad dream. Can I please sleep with you and Xee?" she asks pouting.
"Yeah, sure. Go to my room Xenia must be already there." I nod at her but she shakes her head confusing me.
"Please come with me. Right now." she begs holding my hand.
"Alright. But you can't come here without knocking next time. Or come here at all, for that matter." I say and she nods her head vigorously.
I chuckle and turn around. "Gentlemen, this meeting is over. We will further discuss on this matter tomorrow. Goodnight."
She drags me towards my room rather excitedly. Her high pony bouncing up and down. Anna May is adorable and everything for us.
We reach my room and all the lights are turned off. This is weird. Xenia usually leaves one light one.
I flick the switch and everybody yells 'SURPRISE' I stand there shocked for a second not knowing what is happening until they yell again. Happy Birthday this time.
I smile and feel a tug on my hand. I look down to see Anna squealing in delight.
"Happy Birthday, Xan. I love you so much." She grins widely.
"You sly little girl." I tease and tickle her sending her into fits of laughter.
Everybody wishes me and we cut the chocolate cake but I could not see Xenia anywhere. Did she forget? Was she not here? Who arranged this all then?
A couple minutes later, everyone makes their way out just as mom is about to leave, Xenia enters the room and bump into her.
"Sorry, Angel." she says.
