Rise Of The Disgraced Heir

"Sure, go make yourself comfortable." Seth said as he rolled his eyes at Ian, making Camilla laugh.

"Who knew people were this scared of you." Camilla said as she joined Ian on the couch.

"Thank you for having so much faith in me, you really are my friends." Seth said in a sarcastic tone as he rolled his eyes.

"So is this your dad's office?" Ian asked as he looked around at the lavishly decorated room. 

"No it's mine and it annoys me." Seth grumbled. "It's way too lavish and way too formal, it doesn't belong in this place at all!" He complained.

"Yeah, this place looks like an evil villain's hideout." Ian teased.

"That's what I thought too the first time dad sent me here!" Seth said as if it was the first time someone was agreeing with him.

"I got the same vibe too." Camilla joined in as she laughed at the coincidence.

"So why did you even accept this place to be your hideout? Or is this where the Dean Family really operates from? I'm quite confused." Ian pointed out.

"My family operates differently from others." Seth explained. "The heir apparent and the family head both work at different locations. This is supposed to protect us from potential threats."

"So is this place like one that you inherited when you accepted the role?" Camilla asked.

"I haven't accepted it." Seth told them with a grin. "My dad simply dumped this place and the people in it with me. He didn't leave me an explanation until I finally asked around. In the eyes of everyone I am taking over when dad steps down."

"Did you tell them that it isn't what you want?" Ian asked.

"No." Seth told them as he shook his head. "When I had finally gathered the courage to tell people that I wanted out, I spoke to you, and you managed to convince me that I needed to understand why I wanted to give this place up."

"Is this what you want now?" Ian asked Seth as he looked around the elaborately designed room, it didn't seem to fit his friend at all.

"It's not perfect, but most aspects of being where I am now is what I want." He explained to Ian. "I don't like how everyone needs to fear me."

"You can change things when you are in charge, right?" Camilla asked.

"I'm not too sure." Seth responded as he shook his head. "Even Ray rules through fear, it's simply how the underworld works."

"I'm sure you'll be able to find a way around it." Ian said with a nod as he encouraged his friend.

"Anyway, enough about me." Seth said as he cleared his throat. "Let's get down to why you are here." 

"The Juans." Ian said with a nod. "How do you plan on going about this?" He asked.

"I'll have them taken here. I just need to prepare the both of you, they aren't in the best state." Seth said as he gave Camilla a worried look.

"I'm not as fragile as the two of you think." She hissed as she glared at the two men. "I've been through difficult times too."

"Sorry about that." Seth said with a frown. 

"They will be shocked to see us." Ian pointed out. "I don't think they realized that we were somewhat involved with the Mafia."

Seth nodded at Ian's words, even Seth sitting behind the large table was a sight no one would have expected to see.

In public he was just an ordinary person, yes Seth was fit and quite tall, but nothing about him told you he was involved in any illegal businesses. 

As a matter of fact, you would think that he was a law abiding citizen, an ordinary employee that had the potential to make it big in the corporate world.

It just showed how you could never judge a book by it's cover, people always had their secrets, come bigger than others.

"So we keep quiet while you make the offer?" Camilla asked.

"Yes." Seth said with a nod. "And I would prefer if you both sat over there." As he spoke Seth pointed to a couch almost next to his desk.

"So you are trying to make us all look intimidating?" Ian teased.

"Basically." Seth replied with a grin, making Camilla laugh. "My men will be in here with us, so I highly suggest you act a little bit more formal towards them."

"Sure, no problem." Ian said with a nod as he got up and moved to the couch Seth had indicated.

"You know that I'll be acting the part as a son of the mafia, right?" Seth asked his friends. "That's not the real me."

"Why are you so worried, Seth?" Camilla asked. "We know who you are, however you act will not change that fact."

"People have gotten scared of me when they've seen this side." Seth said with a frown.

"Technically, you should be scared of us too." Ian teased.

"Hah, you're right." Seth said as he shook his head. "Even my dad is wary around Marco."

"Yeah, and you just hangout around him like it's nothing." Camilla pointed out. 

Since they started plotting against Mike and Armand, Seth spent more and more time with the three assistants, joining them for lunch and sometimes helping out with work. 

"The assistants to the CEO of the Reyes Group are people that not even the Mafia can mess around with, at least not unless we have a death with." Seth said, shaking his head.

"And yet you decided to piss Camilla off." Ian pointed out.

"It wasn't just me, it was you too." He grumbled.

"Enough horsing around boys, shouldn't we get on with this Juan Family matter?" Camilla asked as she gave them a serious look. "The soon we get this settled the earlier we can actually relax."

Seth nodded as he pushed a button on his desk.

The man that picked them up immediately entered and bowed to Seth.

"Boss?" The man asked.

"Bring the Juan's over, we're ready to make the offer.." Seth ordered, to which the huge man quickly followed as he rushed out of the room.
