"About Chris!" 
Madam Diana finally spoke as master's blank expressions didn't change a single bit but surely he was amused from inside.

He waited for her to continue with his dominant silence. 

"It is being hard on him." 
Madam Diana's concerned statement made her husband only scoff. 

"It is? Are you perhaps referring me?" 
With his firm regular deep voice master Andrew spoke sounding blank. 

He is being hard on Christopher, he knew. Master Andrew wanted to teach his younger brother business since past few months, as soon as he got graduated. 

Being one most favoured person in the family, Christopher Parker always got what he wanted without even asking or doing anything. Master Andrew did everything for him but now things have been changed since he became a legal adult. 

He should be responsible. 

Master Andrew ordered Christopher to tag along with him and learn business. 
Everything seemed okay at first as his younger brother followed Master out of his brotherly respect. 

But that's until Christopher himself discovered how his elder brother's mafia business was going on. Master Andrew was a very violent man, sure but Christopher was still new to deal with all this things at once. 

He needed time. 

At this point master wasn't even so surprised. Both sister-in-law and brother-in-law owned an amazing bond, madam Diana always defended Christopher. 

But while hearing master Andrew's words, madam Diana's eyes looked at his dark eyes directly now with a hint of obvious fear. 
She didn't mean to offend him in any way but the truth has to be said. 

"Y-Yes, you are being way too harsh on him. He is still young-"
Her soft voice got cut off by master Andrew's angry comment sharply. 

"HE IS NOT YOUNG. HE IS A FOOL!" 
The quite empty hall echoed his deep loud husky shout as madam Diana gulped, feeling scared. 

Her heart drummed harshly as she still looked at her husband feeling the terror in her heart. In a split second his calm and blank expressions changed to a whole damn destruction.

That was how master Andrew was, everyone feared him for a reason. 

His eyes had clear anger in them while looking at his woman now. 
"A fool who cannot even make a single kill, a fool who loves a fucking pole dancer!" 

Master Andrew gritted his teeth in utter shame to even spell those words from his mouth as madam Diana's throat dried then. 

Diana's eyes had a layer of glossiness as she kept looking at him. 
Why was master Andrew so against of love?' She thought. 

He had no heart at all. 

"DO YOU WANT ME TO LET HIM MARRY THAT POLE DANCER WHO FUCKING DANCES NAKED IN FROMT OF THE WORLD FOR MONEY?" 
Master Andrew yet again yelled at her in heavy anger. 

"He is your brother! You can at least understand him a little. Insulting him, shaming him isn't the right way. He is trying. Chris really is trying to correct himself-"

Madam Diana tried to explain showing her little braveness with her weak heart but her words obviously again got cut off by her cold husband, coming a cruel step forward towards her suddenly. 

It was like a warning to speak another word. He looks monstrous. 

Master Andrew's vibes were threatening while looking at his wife defending his little brother. 

"TRYING WON'T PLEASE ME! I want actions, stop defending him every fucking time, Diana. He isn't a child anymore who can hide behind your back." 
Master Andrew exclaimed angrily with his face only inches away from his woman whose heart was racing million times more now. 

She was feeling his cold smoky breaths on her face, fanning. 

Her tears soon caressed her cheeks making their way down her jaw at this rate while hearing her heartless husband's cruel statement. 

Does master Andrew not know how broken his own brother is? Can't he see how pathetic he is? 

"Honey, Chris isn't okay!" 
Madam Diana then whispered back as master's icy cold eyes still didn't for once softened a bit while witnessing his woman's tears. 

"He is broken!" 
Madam Diana shook her head then while crying harshly the next second, only in inches difference between their faces. 

She was terrified of her own husband. 

Master Andrew's breathing soon accelerated more upon looking at her tearful eyes for some seconds, he knew how much she feared him, he knew very clearly how much she feared to even talk back and match his eyes with her. 

Madam Diana wouldn't even dare to go against Master Andrew if not it's the case of Christopher. She really adored him as a little brother. 

Diana always held her courage while confronting master about his brother. 

She has always been the one to persuade master Andrew in most of the things relating Christopher. 

Trying to make the family of two brothers stronger she was doing a lot in both the side. 

Now crying, while looking at her husband to which very obviously he didn't respond, slowly and very slowly she reached for him with her arms opened hopefully with sadness. 

Even though her body feared him but heart, her heart always found his way. 

Madam Diana's head reaching his chest level leaned on it as she wrapped her skinny arms around master Andrew's big bulky built delicately while still sobbing in his rude embrace. 

Only if he knew how to react but coming from master Andrew, obviously that man had a heart of rock! 

"I promise this is the last thing I'm asking you, give him some time, Chris will not disappoint you." 

Master Andrew's eyes remained the same as before while staring nowhere angrily, his breathing rate was high as he was now raging but his wife who kept hugging him, made him jam his reactions. 

He stood there straight with his hands down not reciprocating her action, that much how heartless was he! 

Madam Diana was always weak in front of only him. 

After a moment of angry arrogant silence master finally spoke but it sent thrill shivers down his woman's spine who was still in his embrace. 

His words shocked her. 

"If I die tomorrow I want my brother to grant my place and rule, with that weak heart that bastard won't even do a shit!" 
Master Andrew confessed his heart out emotionlessly. 

Whereas madam Diana's head rose up to look at her husband. 
Her eyes darted at his rock face, wide opened. 

"If I keep granting your wishes Diana, then you will end up being a widow one day with nobody around to protect you." 

The last time master Andrew remembered madam Diana requesting him not to kill Christopher's alleged girlfriend. 
Granting her that one wish, master Andrew already did a lot. 

The only thing master Andrew asked in return was Christopher's cooperation in his mafia business quietly but his younger brother was seemingly too emotional for it. 

Being a man who had no emotions left for anyone, master Andrew had only one to hear out, that was his wife who always sweared her life on while defending his younger brother. 

Master had no worries about his both family members giving him the villain tag because of his strictness and domination on them. 

Master Andrew just doesn't care about being in bad looks because he admitted that he was heartless himself, he won't melt. He never will! 

"Your tears won't melt my intentions, so stop wasting your time. It's good that you two are in good terms but tell him not to make it an advantage!"

Taking his arms off from his wife's embrace, master Andrew darkly stared at madam's face before erasing her faint flow tears with his thumb. 

Her skin flinched upon his sudden unexpected action owning authority. Master Andrew sure seemed passionate but eyes were still angry which made his woman nervous. 

"We are having our family waiting for us at the royal dining. Let's not be anymore late!" 
Master Andrew's deep voice made it crystal clear for his woman that she should give up now. 

He then backed off from her providing her some space. 

Soon walking towards his penthouse's huge dining space. Master Andrew wore a straight face as for madam Diana, she fixed herself looking like nothing have happened between the two. 

Reaching there, they were welcomed by madam Diana's parents and the rest of the closest alliance which included the throne holder of Garcia and his newly wedded wife, Genelia who was also madam Diana's sister. 

Sitting already in there respective seats, Bella madam Diana's cousin was also sitting in the royal dining in front of where Christopher was sitting. 

Right as per the her mother's words, Bella will be introduced at the royal dinning. 

Master Andrew pictured a firm professional attitude and settled himself in the head chair. While soon something distracted everyone's attention. 

"Diana-"
A loud cheerful squeal of Bella echoed the large luxurious royal dining space where the whole alliance was sitting, she was about to get up and approach madam Diana in excitement but Mr.Fernandez held her hand forbidding her way, right there stopping her intentions. 

"Behave!" 
Mr.Fernandez coldly commanded in a strict tone. As with a fearful mood Bella suppressed her urge to meet her cousin after such long months, in front of everyone. 

Mr.Fernandez, Diana's uncle extremely hated it when someone holding a title behaved like an immature, he was one dominating personality in the mafia. 

Especially for the fact that, their Fernandez Mafia's intention is to introduce her this night, the strictness was obvious. Bella should be portrayed nicely. 

Madam Diana's eyes fell on her little cousin as she sadly smiled but knowing the situation well, she had to keep her emotions suppressed for the honour. 

Soon madam Diana followed her husband to the chair next to him quietly with Christopher already sitting on her right. 

"Sorry for the delay!" 
Master Andrew uttered with his voice cold as ever as Diana's father shook his head without any emotions.

"It's fine!" 

Royal Dining started as then. 

The servers approached the guests and started serving the dishes quietly until one of the maid marched towards Bella's plate to do the same when something happened which interrupted the whole dining's their intentions and mood. 

"Her stomach is upset!" 
Not even looking at others, Diana's Uncle exclaimed with his dark and strict voice sounding unbothered. 

While already starting his dinner, he sliced his meal and elegantly put it inside his mouth with blankness, chewing silently and slowly. 

The maid backed off leaving Bella's plate empty. 

All the eyes followed in Bella's direction except for one, Genelia who stayed emotionless sitting beside her husband, Master Alejandro certainly knew about the scene created by her own birth giver. 

Bella, the second cousin was being tormented for the dinner she was here for. The cousins understood the scheme well, even the whole dining did. 

Though Mr.Fernandez sounded like he cared about Bella but it was actually the opposite. 

That was one silent punishment he schemed for Bella for not behaving properly earlier. 

The whole dining stayed silent knowing that matter with the heavy awkward air. 
While madam Diana's head hung low towards her decorated rich meal, she had no appetite tonight. 

Dinner was not even peaceful for her. 

The sound of forks and knives hitting the plates were the only sound echoing the huge dining space when her father suddenly spoke firmly in the silence. 

"Have you thought about the heir?"
The deep dark voice of her birth giver's made madam Diana's eyes blank.
