It was the scene at Anderson's Villa where a beautiful women was sitting in a TV lounge having coffee with her friends. Although she was in her late fourties, she looked very young and decent. She was Mrs. Anderson, the wife of Mr. Anderson Knight_ younger son of mafia Mr.Knight and Xavier's favourite uncle.
Mr. Anderson has three sons. The older one is Nathien, the second oldest is Asher, while the youngest and naughty one is Sheer.
"Mama! I am going to the office. See you in the evening." Nathien, her older son said hurriedly.
"What's a rush, Nathien, come here and have a seat. Your aunt wanted to ask you something". She asked him to sit with them and talk to her friends, who brought a marriage proposal for her daughter for Nathiel.
Nathiel being the older son of Mr. Anderson was a very humble and nice person. He was handsome and intelligent and took care of his father's business along with Mr. Anderson and Asher. While Sheer was a doctor and busy in construction and establishing his own hospitals in different countries,
" Nathein, your aunt is saying that Ava is back. We have setup a date for you. Is it OK for you?" Mrs. Anderson asked while Natheil was lost in his world, thinking about how to refuse them because he liked someone else.
" Mom, I have been quite busy for some days. Whenever I am free, I will tell you till then you can ask......umm Asher!...yeah, you should ask him for a date." He saw Asher coming their way so he said hurriedly and ran away without giving them time to reply.
On hearing the word 'DATE', Asher looked angrily at his elder brother Nathiel, as he didn't like Mrs. Barganza aka his aunt or her daughter.
"Mom, could you please help me with choosing a gift? I have to go to a reception for my friend and have no idea what to give him as a present." Asher said hurriedly as he was holding an online gift center and ordering something.
" Bro, why don't you get married? almost all of your friends are married now." Sheer asked jokingly. He was the most non-serious person in the Knight family. A living joker but very warm by heart.
"What the heck is your problem with me not getting married?" Asher asked him, irritatingly. He didn't see him there, otherwise he would have chosen not to come to the lounge.
" I have a problem, bro! You are older than me and, naturally, mom will allow my marriage after yours. I am in a hurry to get married to the very charming Cinderella of my dreams. But of course, it would not be possible if you didn't get married." he gave a very lame excuse and Asher rolled his eyes.
" Shut the f**k up, sheer! Mom, please select the most precious one and I am going to get ready, and Anut, if you are searching for a very compatible guy for your daughter, then I am giving you advice,... HERE IS OUR PRECIOUS LI'LL BROTHER! He is all ready to mingle." Asher said while Sheer, who was having his drink, bust into a severe cough. Mom and Aunt started laughing at his condition.
Mr. Andernson came at the same time to the lounge.
" Sheer, why do you always keep irritating your brothers, naughty boy?" He asked him while smiling at him.
" Because, dad, we don't have any sisters. Usually, sisters are the ones who always make everyone happy and wander around the house. I don't want my people to feel bored. I wish I could have a sister so that I also would enjoy the bickering things, but unfortunately I don't have one, so I have to behave as one ." He said the reason sadly while Mr. Anderson's face turned pale and he suddenly became serious.

"Hello, Xavier speaking". His loud voice echoed in the receiver.
"Thank goodness I got your number, otherwise I would have had to hide at the airport for God knows how long." Anthony's worried voice came from the other side. Xavier recognized his voice and asked.
"where are you?" he knew that Anthony was hiding from his grandfather because he married a girl who didn't have as precious blood as them.He didn't like that type of obsolete thinking, but he shrugged it off as it was grandfather's matter, not his. He didn't want to go against his grandfather."
He went to pick up Anthony and the girl he got married from the place they were hiding. They wanted to apologize Mr. Knight, as they knew that they couldn't hide from him. the only person who could save him from Mr. Knight was Xavier, only if he wanted to help him. Fortunately, Xavier accepted his request and offered him to hide them in a safe place until he convinced his grandfather to forgive them.
They were on their way to the place when Xavier asked, "Bye the way Anthony, I didn't expect a stone man like you would have fallen in love and got married against the will of his family."
"That's what you call love. You'll know it when you fall in love" he said to him teasingly. Xavier chuckled as he said;
"Love and me? No way. I don't like cheap, clingy girls. I don't do love, I just f**k them hard because that's what they are for." he said in a very cruel voice. Anthony looked at him surprisingly and said,
" One day you'll fall in love with someone so hard, Xavier, and then you'll realize that in love you didn't give a f**k to the body. All that matters is soul. You'd do anything just to see her once. You'll do anything to make her yours at any cost." He said and looked to Xavier, who was surprisingly quiet. Anthony knew that he would not reply to him further so he just shut his mouth off and started looking outside of the window.
