After knocking, the door opened, revealing one of their helpers. Coming in, she looked around. Nothing really changed, she could still see her mother's favourite Persian rug and her father's antique vase that he won in an auction.
She was guided to the dinning room. Everything is already set up. She was the only one that hasn't arrived yet.
Greeting her parents and brother, she took her seat.
After the exchange of pleasantries, they began eating. The dinner went well. A few small talks here and there. When the dessert arrived, the real purpose of this dinner began.
Her father cleared his throat. "So, Raven." "Dad if you're bringing up about me inheriting the company, my answer is still the same. Why don't you give it to Phoenix?" Looking at the subject of conversation.
Phoenix protested, "Hey! You know I don't want it. I'm busy with my own work. Besides, I don't know anything about running a business. "
She sarcastically replied with a raised brow, "Sure. You and I both know, you know the basics." "Exactly, the basics. Nothing will happen if I just know the basics."
"Why? You can't learn it along the way?" Then the siblings began to argue. "Raven Selene Zabini. Sol Phoenix Zabini. That is enough!"
Their mother intervened. "You're in front of the dinner table and you're both fighting. Haven't I raised you well? ",she said pointedly.
They both shut their mouths quickly. Not wanting to anger their mother further. They then apologize, "Sorry, mother.",heads bowed.
"Now both of you, listen to your father." Clearing his throat, he proceeded. "As I was saying, you're right, Raven. This is about the company but not about your inheritance. "
Raven raised a brow and continued listening. "Since you don't want to inherit the company, I'm passing it to someone instead. You both will still have your shares."
"Why didn't you just called me? Why still invite me to dinner. You know I'm bu-" "But there's a catch." Her father interrupted her. Emphasizing, the word but and catch. "Thought so. What is it.",is her reply.
"I'm passing it to my trusted friend. And will have a merging of companies." "Okay. Who? Mr. Paige?" "Yes, correct." "So what's the catch?" "I'm getting there." "Yeah, and?"
"You'll be marrying his son."
"WHAT!"
