1. Dad's Decision

"What do you mean I had to GO to college for studying!!! I'm doing fine..."

Vin said loud and clear for everyone to hear.

"No more shouting at the dinner table." Dad said calmly.

But Vin doesn't know how to talk like a normal human.

"I am not going out of this house and that's final." He pointed at everyone with his butter knife.

"Dear son it's for your own good. You have to finish your study...."

"And why's that?" He raised an eyebrow at his father.

"What do you mean by Why.. it's for your bright future of course."

"Huh! My future is already bright.."

Vin declared proudly.

"Yeah it's so bright that I can't even see it.." Vin's youngest brother said while grinning.

Klement, Vin's younger brother and Jawn, his cousin hide their smiles with great effort. Vin glare at everyone. Then he tried to threaten his little brother.

"Hey Kence! If you disrespect me one more time I'm gonna cut your useless tongue with this knife."

"Vin put your butter knife down. And Ken don't tease your brother. And you Klement?" Dad lightly scolds both his oldest and youngest son then looked at the middle one.

"Yes father?" Klem looked at his father.

"Tell Vin's guard to take him tomorrow for shopping." After hearing the word 'shopping', Vin's looked at his father with sparkling eyes. "Tell them to buy everything that's necessary for a college student."

Sparkling eyes are gone, only a death glare remains.

Dad ignored Vin's sulking face and left the table calmly. Leaving every one to tease his beloved son.

"Why the hell are you all laughing about!? I am not GOING anywhere.!" Vin yelled out while his brothers - Klem and Ken were grinning from ear to ear.

"What was dad thinking to send our crazy brother for studying.. gawd I can't even imagine HIM in a freaking college uniform." Ken continued his teasing.

Vin threw his used tissue paper at his face. From the corner of his eyes he saw few guards, they were also hiding their smile. Bloody hell!

"Hell! I don't wanna go.. why should I? Huh? Both of you go to college. Why does dad want me to go too? Well you both go and study.. and it's not that you both achieve anything big or something.."

After receiving double-glare from his brothers Vin changed his tone.

"Ahmm well, I am not interested in business like you Klem. And I don't want to learn music like you Kenny. I'm happy with my play room so why in the happy world would I go to college? Huh?"

Vin asked everyone present at the dinner table. But no one answered. They were busy enjoying his current situation. The way he was going crazier..

"Hey Klem you are the Heir of our clan. You are the future leader, go and talk some sense to our old man."

"Me!?" Klem pointed at himself with his fork. Vin rolled his eyes.

"No I'm talking to this chicken leg in your palate. You idiot." Klem first looked at his own palate then to his brother.

"What do you truly desire?" Klement asked with his serious-clan-leader face.

"Well I desire many things.... but for now I don't want to go to college.. wearing stupid uniforms, carrying a bag pack, sitting in ugly class, listening to boring lectures, and eating cheap food from the canteen..." Vin shudders at his own imagination.

"Don't be so dramatic. It's not that bad you know." Klem said while looking at Jawn for help.

"Hey don't look at me. I can't deny Vin's words. He draws a vivid picture of a student's tough life." Jawn said honestly.

"Thank you Jawnny for supporting me." Vin almost hugged Jawn.

"I'm not supporting you Vin. I think you should give it a try. You are not the first human to study at college. You're our eldest brother, be brave for once. Show that you're not as crazy as everyone said you are."

Jawn was speaking, Vin's face turned red, Kence returned the same used tissue that Vin threw at him a few minutes ago. Now that tissue was thrown at Jawn, which Klem caught easily.

"Look Vin we are not your enemy. Okay? We also want what's best for you. Trust me and Just give it a go. I'll help you. It's my final year at college. So it's better if you go now." Klement tried to reason with his eldest brother.

"Yeah Klem's right. And look at me I'm also in my 3rd year. Even though we're in different faculties, at least we're the same in the year. Don't worry after Klem's graduation I'll help you." Kence also pushes his brother's rational point.

Now all the eyes in the hall were fixed on Vin.

"Oiiiii.. fine I'll go. But I won't wear a uniform. Not in this life." Vin shouted and left with his usual dramatic style.

Kevin's POV:

They have no idea what they're asking from me. I can't leave this house. I can't go out in a world where I don't fit in. I'll do everything to dodge this good-for-nothing opportunity.

I will never submit to anyone. I'm Kevin Hart Knight, the eldest son of the Mafia Clan. I'm the King of my own world! You think you can change my mind.?

Nahhh. Not in this life.

It's 10 in the morning. The whole night I tried to make an escape plan. At dawn I realized something or 'someone' more precisely..

Do you want to know my next move!?

Let me give you a hint

In this cruel world, no one can save you if you don't try to save yourself.

Look I don't want to be rude...

But I'm the freaking prideful eldest son of the Major family.

Nobody can force me to do something against my will. Not even my mafia dad... period.
