Nicholas Perspective: 

"Seriously dad, you were talking to her like you were childhood friends." I said to my father disbelieving in my tone.

"If you look at her, she was just looking like my childhood friend." My dad said like that was so much obvious.

"How do I know, that how your 'child hood friend' look alike." I gestured with two of my fingers up and down.

"Come on Nico, dad didn't meet anyone after the accident he had, its nice he talk to someone. Right dad?" My little sister Violette said.

"Right princess" dad said while pinching her tip of nose.

"Ok ok I get it. I am going to sleep. There is no any option to fight with you guys." I mumble last part by myself and escorted myself out of room, but my dad stop me.

"Nico. There is an important meeting tomorrow, if you want to come tomorrow gave a visit, okay?" Dad asked me, I think now its really time.

"Dad, ifs Nico going I'm going too" Violette said stubbornly.

"What a wish you got there kid? You have school tomorrow." Sarcasm was in every word of mine.

" I didn't ask you, dad will give me permission, right dad?" She said, she give me a funny look I give her back.

"Nico is right princess, you have school you can visit on weekends." Dad said to her. Her mood got down I go near her and smile at her.

We will go on weekend together, okay?" I said she smiled back and nod, then ran away to her room. " And about tomorrow meeting I will think about it."

I said this and get up from kneeling, went out for door but dad words stop me.

"Do you like Nora?" I was on my place froze, the same question asking by myself.

"I don't know dad, it takes time or I am not interested in her." I told him honestly.

"Did you try to talk her, you know at the restaurant?"
Dad asked and I shake my head. "Well what can I say you are just as stubborn as your mother." Dad said and I laugh.

"I am going". He just shoo me away with his hands. "To sleep".

I went out of my father's room and head to my room that I crashed into someone I don't want too.

One moment there was smile on my face and other scowl.

"Don't you have your eyes, son" my step mother Elizabeth said.

"I have looks like you don't have" I said, the look on her face was priceless.

"Don't you dare talk me like that, you got it. Remember your place."

"I remember my place someone else has forgotten." I snap at her and head to my room, but stop on my tracks.

"I talked to your father about marriage, what was her name" she tried to think a name suddenly snap her finger at said a name which I don't want to hear from her mouth. "Nora" then she take steps towards me. "She is very beautiful, kind, sweet girl just like... Me." She put a finger on her chest and said that, and head to her and father room.

I stand still froze there, don't know what to say or do. Few minutes I stand there then come to my senses at head to my room. I went to my room and washup wear trousers and a white shirt and slam on bed. But why do I am upset when Elizabeth told me Nora was her choice I don't care its not like I am going to marry her. I scoff and shuffle and finally darkness engulf me, with the thought of Nora.

Morning

I went to downstairs wearing a suit and head to dinning room for breakfast. I get in the room at everyone gawking at me like I am from another world.

"What?" I was the one who broke the silence. And they look to each other and shrug. What's with this family.

I take a seat and do my breakfast.

"So are you going to company, um , for a visit." Dad asked, hesitantly.

"No" I answered firmly.

"So why are you so ready" dad asked

"I going to handle the company." When I say it a crashing sound come from kitchen. I look back to see Elizabeth getting sucked out of breadth, I smirk at that.

"Elizabeth are you alright? " Dad can't get up so he ask. Seth reached to her mother and check on her.

"Check her if she is injured" I said acting concerned a smirk playing on mu lips. I finished my breakfast, Elizabeth was still shock, "I am going dad." My and Elizabeth eyes locked and I said while smirking.

I was going towards my car but my dad give another bomb in my head.

"Nico we are going to Mr. Duke house come home quickly. And enjoy your first on business"

Oh now I am surely will.

I sighed, there was so much work to do. What did Seth did? 

"Hey bro, having fun?" The devil said from his mouth. I glared at him and he laughed throwing his head back. "Don't look at me like that. Mom forced me.-" I rolled my eyes, Seth take a seat across from my table, "-You know I don't even know how to make deal." I lean back on my chair.

"Yeah, I can see that" I said gesturing to papers. He grinned. 

I continue doing my work and Seth doing stupid idiotic things in my office. I rolled my eyes at him. I saw a paper written that there is project meeting with Williamson's. The project is about a construction of a society and they want a project for it. 

"What is this about Williamson's?" He asked from Seth. Seth glance at him then again look at the fish protium.

"Oh, you know they want some things from us like metals, cement etc." He said waving his hand here there, he doesn't know himself what is he talking? "Oh, and they also want painting supplies, artificial grass and plants, and they also want ... what was that?" He scratched his head trying to remember. He look towards me, I rase a brow towards him, He open his mouth, "What is the thing that we used when we get in elevator? The one we open with cards or ID whatsoever?" He move his hand in different direction. I look at him confusedly then realize what is he talking about. I massage between my eyes and move my hand round while saying,

"Are you talking about security finance?" I asked annoyed that he don't even know that.

"Yup, that thing" He said faced the protium again, scaring fishes. I sighed. 

"Seth?" I called.

"Yes"

"Can you please call Anthem here?" I asked.

"Of course. You don't have to say please." I chuckled.

"Do you say these things to your friends or something, or only me and Violette." I asked. He straightened himself. 

"You know I can't interact with other people. That's why I ask dad to say you to handle business. I am not suited for this things." He said then made himself escort out, but stopped at the doorway, "And for your question, Only you and chocolate matter to me." He said and closed the door. I chuckled and got relieved that at least these two are not like there mother. Door suddenly burst open and flinched, "And dad said be fast we are going to his friend house, bye." He shouted and runaway. 

Bastard.
