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

His straightforward statement was meant for Master Andrew, who nodded his head simply in approval as he sliced his meal with richness. 

Eyes were darted down on his richly decorated meal as he looked absolutely emotionless and unbothered. 

"We are still planning about it!" 
Keeping it short, master Andrew replied ending his words while throwing one short glance at madam Diana's face who looked quite disturbed now. 

Her orbs were darted down on her decorated meal, she gulped in all the words in silence. 

Madam never liked that topic. 

"I believe you are smart enough to understand my intentions son-in-law, don't get me wrong for mentioning about this matter again and again. As a father of a daughter, I live with a lot of insecurities, which utmost includes her life obviously." 
Diana's father being bold, stated before settling his gaze at madam Diana for some long seconds. His words was demanding. 

The meaning of his words were crystal clear. After getting madam Diana pregnant the Parker's will have an official valid underboss for the future. 

"We live in a world which is very different than any other normal being. We don't roam around on the streets without any care neither we go out anywhere without any weapon in hand or well prepared securities, protecting us!" 

Those words only indicated only one thing, madam Diana was young and very capable of carrying the Mafia's heir in her womb now. 

And as for master Andrew, who was someone with so many enemies targeting his throne and him, it was necessary to have his own blood soon to create a strong sense of security for the mafia and honour. 

This fact isn't even hidden anymore that master Andrew was being targeted and he was preparing the throne for his brother next. 

He had been on many deadly attacks before. 

Plus even if his brother, Christopher is the underboss now and after any sudden emergency of master Andrew, he would take the throne in hands... the heir of late master Andrew will be named to be the future of Parker's. 

The position and throne will be madam Diana's son. 

That's the rule, that's what royalty states and honour demands. 

But to make it happen, madam Diana have to have a heir in her womb, the sooner the better! 

The plan for madam Diana's security after her husband's death would be a big concern. Diana's father was scheming the future righteously for his daughter and everyone among the dining knew that. 

After she conceives the heir, she will name her whole life in raising the Parker's blood even with or without her husband. 

That will be her honour to be the heir's mother and even if she becomes a widow, she will have a heir to the throne who will secure her forever. Who will protect her forever! 

As madam's father kept on saying those things straightforwardly, he wasn't aware about the fact that he was shooting bullets in his own daughter's heart ruthlessly with his harsh words every passing seconds. 

Madam Diana never liked this topic. 

A child should be conceived out of love and care not out of planning and plotting. Playing politics with her womb is such an inhuman thing for her. 

Not knowing how this topic is creating a serious sick vibe for madam Diana, her selfish father keep on speaking as if her husband is really going to die soon. 

And targeting his own daughter's womb to attach it with the throne for her future, was the only thing he wants before something actually happens to master Andrew. 

He was making it too cruel for madam Diana, and it was just her first anniversary with her husband! 

"My words may sound too straightforward but I want best for my daughter. You face countless risks every second son-in-law and I don't even know when-"

Interrupting her own father's words immediately madam Diana's eyes watered. She had it enough! 
Looking up from her meal, her eyes begged her father to stop. 

No woman can hear those cruel stuffs, even thinking about her husband's death is such a harsh thing to bear for any woman. 

"F-Father!" 
Shuttering, madam Diana paused her own birth giver's statement in the middle as the whole dining went silent for few seconds. 

Her word was a beg. 

"Diana behave!" 
Speaking next, strictly master Andrew glared at his woman who only looked at him with light tears beaming in her eyes. 

Finding him already glaring at her face, her eyes reddened more in agony... master Andrew was indeed heartless to hear all these about himself but she wasn't. 

That's why she never liked this topic of discussion. 

Soon nodding anyways to her husband's command with her heavy heart, madam Diana transferred her eyes down on her plate yet again not daring to match her eyes with anyone at the dining. 

"I apologise, my wife is little sensitive to such topics!" 
Master Andrew's cold rude voice was enough to make everyone understand his words, he wanted to end the topic. His jaw clenched as he spelled those words darkly gaining a firm nod from Mr.Fernandez!

"I understand!" 
Diana's father sighed out as soon master's words were again heard on the dining which caught everyone's surprise. 

"I will take your words in serious account, father-in-law!" 
Master Andrew uttered as satisfied with the answer the Diana's father continued gulping the meal quietly except for madam Diana who only stared at her meal quietly being traumatised with the previous discussion. 

Suddenly her father's attention caught her again after few seconds, examining her state was an easy task for him as he read her well. He then exclaimed with a hint of praise while looking at her. 

"Happy Anniversary daughter!" 

He wished with his firm tone as madam Diana who had her head hung down and eyes still red, nodded like a good daughter. 

"Thank you father!" 

The royal dining then went quite for minutes as silence clouded but soon something happened attracting the attentions of everyone. 

As Master Andrew was having his meal quietly, suddenly his cold rude eyes fell on the young girl sitting at the end of the royal dining with the empty plate. 

Bella, his wife's second cousin was looking down the whole time not saying a single word or participating in the dining. 

As she was punished by her uncle earlier. 

"How is your school going on?" 
Strangely Master Andrew questioned across the table, earning everyone's attention. 

Bella's head rose up to the words in surprise as she looked at master Andrew with a shocked face. 

"It is going good, brother-in-law!" 
She replied trying not to shutter. 
That girl was obviously told to behave by her both uncles. 

"I heard you wanted to join some dancing academy. What about it?" 
Master Andrew questioned again now gaining everyone's eyes on him in absolute shock except for Mr.Fernandez and Diana's father. 

Bella's eyes widened as she looked at her brother-in-law with surprised expressions, not expecting him to know about it, even if he knew then at least not expecting him to speak about it in front her strict uncles who were about to get her married to create a healthy alliance. 

They were here to introduce her to the alliance members! 

Both her uncles always hated Bella's hobbies because women in their world were only meant to get married and have a children. 

She never mentioned about her wanting to join dance academy to even her parents in fear that they will get her marry even sooner than expected. 

Which she was obviously not ready for. 

Knowing she is been secretly sneaking out, her both uncles would never allow her to even go out. As a result she wasn't planning to tell them nor her mother. 

But now that master Andrew unfurled her secret, her heart beat increased. 

In panic that little girl gulped, her brother-in-law was not any less than her uncles when it comes to cruelty. 

Master Andrew was one powerful man so she always respected him out of fear. 
Her relationship wasn't so close with him neither Genelia's husband, master Alejandro! 

She always watched her words whenever she had any talk with any of her brother-in-laws before. 

"No, it's not true-"
Bella tried to deny his said fact but master Andrew spoke again cutting her off straight. 

"There are quite well known dance academies in Newyork, I'll have Chris look for the best one!" 

Master Andrew uttered not even looking at her, slicing the meal he had it inside in his mouth while everyone else watched him in disbelief except her uncles! 

They were silent? That was so very strange! 

"W-What?" Bella stammered. 

Madam Diana was already shocked with all those revelations when soon her surprised eyes were widened at her husband's unpredictable next words. 

Same happened with master Andrew's younger brother, Christopher who had a deep frown of confusion decorated in his face while looking at his elder brother. 

After completing chewing his meal with authority, master Andrew looked at Bella again with his blank usual face. 

"You are staying with us from now on and do whatever you please. Your uncles permitted it!" 
Master Andrew's words earned a loud gasp from Bella as she looked at her both uncles who was busy in eating their meals silently. 

They did? Unbelievable! 

Bella looked at master Andrew in pure shock again as suddenly he moved his eyes from her to his all surprised wife, madam Diana. 
While reaching for her left hand, he held with his right one. 

Still no hint of emotions were in his face to claim anything serious. 

"It's a gift from your sister!" 

So this was the thing master Andrew wanted to announce? How did even madam Diana's father agreed on this? Why all of this seems to be a scheme to her? She felt something was off in there as she kept looking at master Andrew's eyes which were looking at hers without any emotions. 

She tried to at least read him a little bit but he hid his expressions too well.

"Thank you, brother-in-law!"
Bella happily exclaimed.
