“What?” Aria asked.
“Ignore him,” Damien told her and she nodded at him.
“Don't make a fool of yourself. They clearly don't want to go with you.” Damien said. Bryan was about to speak but Aiden beat him to it.
“Why don't we call Mum and ask her?” Aiden asked.
“No.” Bryan hurriedly replied and Damien rolled his eyes. He was about to walk away with the twins but Bryan stood in front of him, blocking their path.
“I can't let you leave with them,” Bryan said. Damien sighed and ran his hand on his forehead. He couldn't do anything in front of the kids.
“Don't do this,” Damien said.
“They are my kids and I don't want you to be with them,” Bryan replied.
“You didn't even want us,” Aiden said and Bryan ignored him. He had no response to what he said.
“How about we vote on it? Our opinion matters too right?” Aria suggested and they all stared at her.
“Vote? Why will you... “
“If you want to follow Damien, raise your hand.” Aria cut Bryan off and they all raised their hands including Damien. Bryan scoffed and shook his head.
“And Bryan?” Aria asked and only Bryan raised his hand.
“Oh, you lost.” Aiden laughed and he rolled his eyes.
Bryan decided to let it go, this isn't the right way, and besides the twins don't want to go with him.
He stared at Damien for a few seconds before stepping out of the way.
Damien walked away with them and Aria stared back at him. He smiled and waved at her. Aria sighed before looking away from him.

“Where are we going? Are we going to kill someone? Who is dying?” Tracy asked multiple questions as Alessa drove but she ignored them.
After arriving at the hotel, Alessa informed Tracy she needed to be somewhere so Tracy decided to tag along.
“Why won't you answer me?” Tracy whined and Akessa glanced at her.
“Because your questions are dumb,” she replied. Tracy rolled her eyes and muttered curse words.
The drive was silent and Alessa was glad. After driving for some minutes, they arrived in front of a club. Alessa pulled over and Tracy’s face lit up.
“Are you talking to a ten-year-old? I understand, go.” Tracy said with a frown and Alessa sighed before walking away.
She headed up to the VIP section immediately.
She got to the hallway and walked down till she got to the front of a door. She opened it and walked in.
She wasn't so surprised by the sight in front of her, it was normal. Half-naked on a couch in the room, four armed guards at every corner of the room, and the person she came to see at a table with a half-naked lady in his presence.
“Alessa, you are here,” he said as he noticed her presence. Alessa walked fully into the room and the guards at each corner bowed slightly at her.
“Hand me the papers,” Alessa replied with a straight look and he chuckled.
“Come on, you just got here.” he chuckled and the half-naked lady on his table stood up and joined the rest on the couch.
“I had a long flight, and I have to rest,” Alessa replied and he chuckled.
“Come on, loosen up a bit. We aren't strangers or enemies,” he replied and Alessa sighed.
“Diablo, can I have the papers?” she asked with a fake smile, and he chuckled.
“That's better,” he said.
“You know, I have only seen you twice despite knowing each other for six years. This will be the third time though. We should get along more often, thanks to Rico for bringing you to my club in New York. I wouldn't have met an angel like you.” he said.
