When Alex went home, he went straight to his room to get ready then he went to Aria's.

She was wearing a casual yet beautiful dress with her maching ankle boots.

"You ready to go?" He asked to which she nodded, "Let's go."

"Welcome home Alexander and Aria." Bella was standing in front of the door, waiting for them with John beside him.

"Thanks Mrs Black." Aria said with a smile. Bella furrowed her eyebrows, "What did I say? You're going to call me mom."

"Sorry" Aria mumbled. Bella grinned and pulled her for a hug.

"Now you forgot about me." Alexander cleared his throat.

"I did. Thank god you made me remember." Bella laughed before hugging Alexander.

"The others are waiting in the dinning room." John spoke then walked to the dinning room, everyone followed him.

"Hey sissy" Mike shouted excitedly.

"Hey guys!"Anna stood up and went to hug Aria which she gladly returned.

"Hello Alexander, Aria." Stefan said and nodded to them. Alexander simply nodded back.

"Hello Mr--" Aria was cut off by Alex's grandfather, "Grandfather. Call me grandfather, child."

"Good to see you again." Kenzo smiled at Aria, "Likewise."

"Please sit for dinner then we can discuss about why we are here, shall we?" Bella asked and sat down. Alexander and Aria did the same.

"So, to what do we owe this dinner?"John asked as they were served dinner.

"Well, as kenzo is the eldest, I'd like for him to be the CEO, that is, take my place in the company." Alexander spoke casually as he took a bite of his food.

Kenzo choked on his food while John raised an eyebrow at Alexander,"You know very well that Kenzo doesn't know much when it comes to business."

"I know very well that he'll do well if he gives himself a chance. Listen, I need a long break. I'll take the position back but not now. I'm too preoccupied to handle it." Alexander tried to make them understand.

"What's the matter, Alexander?" His grandfather asked calmly.

"V prestupnom mire yest' nekotoryye problemy, trebuyushchiye pristal'nogo vnimaniya." He replied.

[Translation : "There are some problems in the underworld that require close attention."]

(A/N Idk Russian. Those are straight from Google)

"Is it serious?" Stefan (His grandfather) asked and he nodded, "Very."

"What are you two talking about again??",John was getting fed up of having his own son and own father talking a language that no one among them understood except these two.

"Kenzo, Alexander is right. You should take up the position if not then Mike. You are good in business and you're smart both of you. You'd do very well. Alexander needs a break and he's going to have it. Either of you are going to take his place in the company. Decide amongs yourselves as to who." Stefan said seriously and calmly, ignoring John's question.

"But father.. You know that Kenzo isn't that good when it comes to business and Mike...well he's still studying." John responded.

"I don't care. I need a replacement. If you two can't do the job, I'll find someone outside the family!" Alexander was running out of patience.

"You can't do that. This is our family's company! You can't just handover it to an outsider!" Bella exclaimed, not liking that idea.

"Well, that's not my intention. But I said, if I have to, I will, since none of my brothers are ready to." Alexander corrected.

"Give us the reason why." John said.

"I already did. I need a break that is it." He replied calmly.

"That is not it. You have always been hiding things from us, Alexander. Both my own son and my own father hides things from their family.",John had enough. He wanted the truth.

"There are some things that you don't need to know, son." Stefan said, still calm.

"But I want to know! That big secret... That is so big that we are all kept in the dark. I'm your son right? I deserve to know." He said to Syefan then looked at Alexander, "I'm your dad right? I deserve to know, Alexander! Yet you tell my father and not me. We are all one family and guess what? You're the richest amongst us all! You work in our family company and still you are richest than us all! How much money do you get Alexander?"John was beyond pissed.

"You're being dramatic." Alexander said, clenching his jaw at his father.

"Dad, stop this." Kenzo knew where this would end. A father-son dispute.

"Answer me, Alexander.",John demanded. Bella has never seen her own husband that serious and angry ever since he changed.

"Fucking Answer me" He yelled this time.

"You really want to know?" Alexander asked and he nodded.

"Don't.",Stefan didn't want anyone to know how much money Alexander had. He knew it would result in family dispute but he hoped it wouldn't.

John got on Alexander's nerve and he was s definitely going to tell him. Ignoring Stefan's words, he relied in a calm yet serious voice, "I make Eighty Million every day"
