**********
Naomi walks in the board room filled with the shareholders along with some investors. She smiles at her father before taking her seat. Once the presentation from her assistant is done, she takes the stage.
"These are the new business ideas that have caught our eyes, the business is smaller in comparison to many of our other business but the profit is high in this one because for once we are not approaching any dealers in between which also means the profit we had to distribute to the dealers will directly earned by the company...
These new shops we have chosen to do business with will directly get their goods from our company instead of seeking the middle man"
"Cutting off the middle man? Is that even wise, yes they do take some profit off and commission but they are the one who deals with any mishaps or any kind of problem" one of the men asks.
"In all the years we have worked there is not once any complain regarding our products, the jewelries we sell are one of a kind, so paying extra to someone who just go meet and set meeting to the buyers does not seem too fruitful" Naomi replies.
"Next thing we know you may say you don't need us" one of them joke and Naomi grins.
"Actually, about that, I have found a new investor for our company" she states and all of them frown.
"What? Not just don't we need any investors we will also not need any new business"
"Who the hell is that?"
"Kathleen Price, she has agreed to buy all of the diamonds our company exports for her company that makes one of the best jewelries that can be found. We do not need a team of investors when we have her"
"What kind of nonsense is this? How can you be so sure she will invest on you? And how the hell will she be able to replace all of us? She may be a Price but come one they do not have that much money" one of the investor shouts.
"She does not but Lucero's do" Paige voice makes all of them to turn at the far corner where she was seated.
"Lucero's bank is handling all the investment and business transaction done by Kathleen Price and soon all of the investors who have put their money of Naomi's company will get their money deposited in their accounts with interest" Paige points before she walks and puts a paper at the front of each of them.
"This is a non-disclosure agreement as I speak on behalf of Lucero Corporation, you will all sign in selling all of your shares to Mrs. Leah Lucero"
"What nonsense is this?" the men shout.
"This will be the only time you will be given a choice to sign it on your own will else I don't think I have to explain further if Mr. Leon Lucero himself have to come deal with you" Paige points and the men glare at her as she steps back and stares at the front while the men cruses and rave before signing the papers and throwing the pen down as they all walk out glaring both at Paige and Naomi.
*********
"Leon did not have to be such an ass" Naomi grins as she watches Paige collect the papers.
"Well, they should not have done anything to harm you. And he is not happy about Richard pointing about the security of the building that belongs to Lucero" Paige eyes Naomi whose grins wipes of her face before she gasps.
"Did Richard have a face down with Leon?" she asks and Paige shakes her head as she says her goodbye and Naomi turns to her father as she shrieks.
"Daddy, he told Leon off" she gushes and Rolfe chuckles as he touches her arm before leaving her alone as she calls her husband.
**********
"Hello" Richard picks the call from his wife who shrieks through the phone making him put it away from his ear before she finally stops.
"If you were here right now, I would get naked and, on my knees, to give you a blow, you had a face off with Leon and how dare you not tell me?" she asks making him chuckle.
"Fire" he calls.
"I want details, like every bit, how hot did you look, give me a number from one to ten" she asks.
"I don't know, baby"
"Not fair, I miss seeing you in action, sweets can you not kill few men lets go hurt someone and then we can once again go running off and you can spend your days playing hero then I will give you ratings"
"Not going to happen, fire. Now where are you?" he asks.
"Just finished my meeting, I just kicked all of my investor, well I may go broke but good thing you come from money"
"We are not using my money to buy you anything branded, one of us have to save money for our kids" he states before pulling his phone away as she gasps in shock.
"I want a baby, now, right now, make me pregnant" she states and he laughs.
"Meet me for lunch?" he asks and she agrees as they say their goodbyes.
**********
"Okay, lets continue our talk on babies" Naomi points as soon as they meet up.
"What is there to?" he asks as they walk in the restaurant.
"How many do you want, what gender?" she asks.
"Gender whichever and well let's see how you take our first child birth"
"I can handle it"
"We will see when you scream and curse me when you go on your labor" he teases as he flicks her nose as they take a seat.
"I am sure I will forget soon and then we can have another one" she points and he cups her face as he kisses her.
**********
Driving back to their home, Richard parks his car before he waits for Naomi who makes her way to him as they walk hand in hand in their home.
"Let's get naked and sweat all the greasy food we had" Naomi giggles next to Richard's ear as he opens the door and as soon as they do, he pushes her on the door kissing her lips.
Naomi starts to unbutton his clothes as she moans but a gasp and dropping of something makes them move away.
"Surprise" Gabby squeaks as she picks her phone up before running out of the way and Richard pulls his shirt in place as he helps Naomi fix her clothes and hair.
"Gabby" Richard calls as he walks towards the living area to find his family waiting for him.
"There they are" Alana gasps as she stands and rush towards her son.
"Mom" Richard blinks as he hugs her.
"Hey" his brothers wave and Richard nods.
"Uh what are you all doing, I mean what a surprise" he smiles before he eyes Gabby.
"Gabby" he calls.
"I swear I was just going for a bottle of water" she points and Richard clears his throat.
"Okay" he nods.
"Cool" Gabby nods.
"How are you all, it's really a surprise" Naomi smiles.
"Well, you two are married so it's natural" Gabby states and Richard narrows his eyes at the girl.
"Natural to have your in-laws come visit you, even surprise you" Gabby grins before she rushes to Ricardo's side and hugs him.
"What?" he asks at her weird behavior but she just smiles at him.
"We came as soon as she got the news about the incident with Naomi. Why did none of you told us?" Alana asks her son.
"Mom it was not a big deal"
"It is, if someone attacked her, you poor thing" Alana sighs as she touches Naomi's arm.
"I am surprised my mother did not showed up yet, I mean...." Naomi stops.
"Where is my baby girl?" Natalie shouts as she comes barging in the room.
"Talked too soon" Naomi sighs.
*********
"I tell you, I did not raise any damsel in distress, even if they create stress in people's lives but we should all agree, that may be the physical activities at home must have got her sloppy and tired" Natalie points.
"Mom" Naomi warns her mother.
"What, look at this house, you must have to wake up early to take of your husband needs and this house, cleaning, cooking" Natalie smiles.
"But I heard all they do is order food, I even saw the menu and food boxes on the dustbin" Gabby points.
"Not a good thing to go sniffing at other's dustbin" Natalie points out.
"You mean you just leave the dirty napkins and things around your house and not put it in a dustbin?" Gabby frowns before she adds.
"Well just so you know, I did not find any condom wrapper"
"Gabby" everyone shouts at the girl.
"Well, what I mean is they have a healthy active sex life, they should be careful until they want kids" Gabby mumbles as she steps away as Ricardo stands from his seat.
"I sometimes forget whose daughter you are" Natalie sighs.
**********
Richard laughs at something his brother says as he enjoys the chilled night with his family, he chuckles when Ryman starts to pull Rustic's leg.
Feeling eyes on him, he turns his head to find his wife staring and smiling at him, he winks her way and she gives him heart sign before throwing a flying kiss his way which he catches and drop on his glass before gulping it in one go.
Naomi turns around when someone calls her before she goes and helps to set the table for the dinner.
"How's work?" Ricardo asks as he squeezes Richard's shoulder.
"It's good"
"Any trouble?" he worries.
"Nothing I cannot handle"
"I know, but you also know we are here, right?" Ricardo asks and Richard nods his head.
"It good to have you all here though, I did not realize how much I missed you all until I saw all of you" Richard admits and Ricardo ruffles Richard's hair before he wraps his arm around Richard's neck squeezing him.
"Missed you too" he grins as the brothers goes to join the family for dinner.
**********
"The chicken" Rustic asks but Ryman grabs the whole bowl away.
"Mom" Rustic cries.
"Can you two not behave?" Alana asks the boys.
"Yeah, can you not? You are going to get married what will your wife say seeing you act so childish?" Rustic asks and Ryman licks all the chicken on the bowl.
"If you don't behave, I will shove you face on that bowl" Ricardo warns and Ryman sighs as he puts the bowl down.
"But he licked it, like ewe" Gabby gags.
"You ate chew gum dropped on the floor" Ricardo points at his wife.
"But that's chew gum" she mumbles before Alana brings in another bowl.
"You are the best" Gabby grins as she hurries to grab one.
"You can never know with them" Alana shakes her head.
"No one passes the whole bowl to Ry" Richard asks as he takes a piece himself.
"Lilac" Richard smiles as he puts one of her plate and she smiles at him.
"Are you okay being here? No panic attacks?" Naomi asks Lilac who shakes her head no.
"Our Lili baby is tough, right" Rustic points as he passes her the chips.
"Give me some food" Ryman whines when no one passes to him.
"You are finishing the chicken" Richie points.
"But dad, I will burst"
"Should have thought of consequences before acting rashly" Richie states.
"Rich don't even have dogs to pass the meat" Ryman grumbles before Lilac puts few chips on his plate and Ryman smiles at her.
**********
"Ewe" Rustic grimaces as Gabby burps before she laughs and holds him down continuing to burps near his ear.
"Ewe, go away, Rick" Rustic shouts as he tries to cover his ear with his arms.
"Precious, what the hell are you doing?" Ricardo asks as he eyes his wife.
"Cry baby" Gabby grumbles as she steps away from Rustic before she jumps in Ricardo's arms.
"Rare" she calls and he raises a brow at her and she grins before making a burp sound and he rolls his eyes before pinching her side.
"Stop that" he asks but she shakes her head no.
"Want to hear me make croak sound?" she asks and he covers her mouth as he picks her up taking her away from the room.
*********
"I will do that" Naomi states as she puts the plate of the dishwasher as Alana leaves her to wash up while she cleans the table.
"Dad's looking for you" Richard states as he walks in and Alana nods before she puts the towel down and leave.
Richard looks behind him before he moves to where Naomi was, he grins wrapping his arm around her waist and kissing on her neck.
"Your mom" she giggles.
"She won't be back" he mumbles as he drops little kisses all over her neck before they jump apart when someone walks in and both of them watch in horror as Ricardo walks in with his wife wrapped around him.
Richard covers Naomi's mouth as Ricardo puts Gabby on the table deepening their kiss, pushing Gabby on the table Ricardo starts to push Gabby's dress so Richard clears his throat loudly and that stops at once.
With a curse, he pulls away from Gabby and then without looking at them he fixes Gabby's clothes as he helps her get down.
"It's getting late" Ricardo states as he eyes his brother who nods trying hard not to laugh.
"We were just checking the table, making sure it's safe for you two" Gabby adds as she nods and Richard clears his throat.
"Well now we are even, I watched you molest Naomi and now you saw me and Rare" Gabby shouts and Richard cannot help but laugh aloud.
"Watched?" Ricardo asks in shock as he eyes his wife.
"I mean, caught, saw, it was an accident, they were going at on the door when they entered and, well" Gabby grumbles as Ricardo shakes his head before he pulls her along.
"Try pulling out if you don't have condom" Naomi shouts and Gabby shows her finger at Naomi who laughs as she buries her head on Richard's chest.
