"Home, now!" Caspian commanded Andreas, his trusted right-hand man and advisor. "What happened, Baron?" Andreas asked, worry evident in his voice. "My daughter, Sonya, just called. She said her mother was sighted in the gate," Caspian replied, a mixture of emotions swirling in his chest.

As Caspian walked out of the Duchess’ club, he couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that lingered within him. Andreas, his trusted right-hand man, was quick to remind him of the Baron's meeting that evening. "Baron, I hope you didn't forget that the Barons Meet is this evening. We are to go there now," Andreas said.Caspian wanted nothing more than to be alone with his thoughts, to contemplate the marriage proposal by Duchess Dillion. But duty called, and he knew he had to face it head-on. "Take us there," Caspian said, resignation evident in his voice.In the car, the tense atmosphere was palpable as Caspian mulled over the situation. He knew he needed someone outside of the gang to confide in, someone who could offer him unbiased advice. Turning to Andreas, he broached the subject. "Andreas, if the Baron is disturbed and wants to talk or sort things out without resorting to the mafia way, what does he do?"Andreas sighed, a look of understanding in his eyes. "Baron, once you tak

As Caspian and Andreas entered the hall, Caspian was immediately struck with awe at the opulence and grandeur of the place. The outside may have appeared dilapidated, but the inside exuded a sense of wealth and power. The lighting, a mix of blue and red hues, created an ambiance that was both mysterious and captivating. The faces of those seated at the long table in the center of the room were obscured in the dim light, adding to the aura of secrecy and danger.Caspian found himself drawn towards the table, each step bringing him closer to the heart of the gathering. Andreas, ever the loyal companion, pulled out a chair for Caspian and silently encouraged him to take a seat. As Caspian settled into his chair, he felt a surge of nervous energy coursing through him. This was no ordinary meeting; these were the barons of the mafia world, and their collective power was unmatched."Baron DiMarco, what took you so long?" a voice called out from the shadows. Before Caspian could respond, A

Monica, her father’s assistant, sat beside her, helping her with her work.She had been assigned by Caspian to creep into the little girls head and heart, see what her day in school was life to check for any signs of intrusion as it was a world that Caspian knew would not be safe for his daughter.Also, since Lalya had visited, Caspian had been worried that Sonya’s heart might be won over so that she would prefer the company of her mother.Monica asked Sonya, “So, how was school today, Sonya?”Sonya looked up with a smile and replied, “It was good! We learned about the solar system in science class.”Monica nodded, “That sounds interesting. And how was the bus ride to school?”Sonya giggled, “The bus driver played my favorite song on the radio, so it was fun!”Monica then asked, “And how is your teacher, Mrs. Jenkins?”“She’s nice and funny.

In the van as they went towards the address that Duchess Dillion had sent, Caspian was reminded of something he had wanted to ask and he felt it was the best time to do so. “Andreas, you remember the grand baron and his jibes yesterday?” Caspian asked and Andreas nodded.“Yes, baron.”“That part seemed to be out of the dossier. What happened back then?”?“It was during the time of your grandfather’s reign, Caspian. The Dimarco empire was flourishing, and we had forged a partnership with the Ya’az tribe, a powerful group who controlled valuable resources in the eastern territories. We saw potential for mutual benefit and worked together on several successful ventures.”Caspian listened intently, his curiosity piqued. “What kind of ventures did you work on together?” he asked.Andreas smiled sadly, “We traded goods, shared information, and even fought side by side in battles against common enemies. The bond between our peoples seemed unbreakable.”“Why did it fall apart then?” Caspian

According to schedules, the DiMarco empire was back to Wallows Square.It might be another trip for the household but for Caspian, it was a trip to his past.
