" Thank you Mr. Balakirev. You have done a lot for me today. From his reaction I can say that he will not harm them and I can be at peace for sometime now. I don't know how to return the favor you have just done."
" We are business partners and aligned now Ms. Mariano. You have already helped me before even we get to know each other. I have returned the favor today. I have to go back now. I have signed the deal. My secretary has already given hard copy to one of your men and the soft copy has been emailed."
" You haven't eaten anything Mr. Balakirev. We can't let you go without eating something." Antonia said.
" Eat something on occasion of our collaboration Mr. Balakirev." Aurora said.
" Sure. But all of you have to take too." Nicolai said smiling.
They nodded and took drinks.
" If you don't mind, can I ask who are they Ms. Mariano? I haven't introduced myself but they already seem to know me." Nicolai said.
" Oh. Yeah. She is Antonia Mariano. My elder sister and the Right hand of UNDOCILE." Aurora said pointing at Antonia.
" And the others are the heirs of BLACK WINGS." Aurora said.
Nicolai's eyes went big in realization.
" I'm really sorry that I have told him to kill you guys."
The heirs chuckled.
" It doesn't matter Mr. Balakirev. He can't do anything to us. We have her." Lucas said pointing Aurora.
" Yeah. You all are lucky." Nicolai said smiling.
They talked for some time more. Then Nicolai bade good bye and went to the pent house with his guards and secretary.

Mr. Richard kept pacing around with rage. He called someone.
" Yes Sir."
" Have you kept them in a safe place? Anyone won't be able to track down them right?"
" Yes sir. They are still unconscious due to the drug. This spay drug is really effective sir. You should bring more when you come here."
" You have already used all of it? Are you mad? How will I carry it with me? It's not safe at all." Mr. Richard shouted.
" Sir there were 100 men. I had to use it all."
" What? She had sent this much people just for two shipments? Are the weapons that important?"
" Yes sir. Every single of them are modern and costly. She had spent fortunes."
" Even then she is just concerned for those shitty members. What a pathetic emotional girl she is!" Mr. Richard said scoffing.
" Do you want me to torture them Sir?"
" No. Don't do anything yet. They are the main weapon against Venom. We will threat them and use them against her."
" When are you coming Sir?"
" Very soon. Henry wants to do something. Let's see what he can do. Then I'll think when to come."
" Are their family members in your hand Sir?"
" Few of them but they are enough to scare those shitty members." Mr. Richard said smirking.
" Should I help Henry Sir?"
" No. What if Venom sees you? You can't be seen now. Let's see what he can do. Then we will take action."
" Sure sir."
Mr. Richard cut the call.
" You sure have some charm to get Balakirev on your side Venom. But you'll not win against me. I'll kill you for sure." Richard said and started laughing evilly.

It was evening. Aurora was sitting in the living room alone. Many thoughts were clouded in her head.
" What are you thinking?" Antonia asked sitting beside her.
" What will be his next step? I'm thinking that."
" He is not unpredictable like you. His next target is the heirs." Antonia said sighing.
" I know that Antonia. But how will he get them I'm thinking of every ways. I can't allow them to
leave this mansion for even one second from now."
" But you have to." Charlie said from behind.
Aurora and Antonia looked back and found the heirs standing with their phones.
" What do you mean?" Antonia asked.
" Our semester is ending. We have given exams online but there is a viva tomorrow. We have to attend it physically. We have just been notified." Harry said.
" What?" Aurora said confusingly.
Sofia handed her phone to Aurora. Aurora read the notice. She sighed.
" Why the heck it has to be now!! Fucking hell." Aurora said frustratedly.
" Moreover It's a common subject. We all have to be present there Aurora." Leo said.
" What are you gonna do now?" Antonia asked sighing.
"They have to go. I'll accompany them." Aurora said sighing.
" We are sorry for being burden Aurora." Lucas said sadly.
Aurora looked at the heirs and softly smiled. " You guys can never be burden for me. Don't worry. We just have to be careful now."
" Princess can I ask for something?"
" Yeah." Aurora said looking at him.
" Can I go somewhere else too tomorrow?" He asked timidly.
" No Charlie." Aurora said.
" Please. It's really important." Charlie said sitting in front of her on the floor.
" Charlie don't be like this please. You can give up this year right?" Harry said sadly.
" Look Charlie, it's a matter of your life. Don't ask something that's impossible. I can't leave you alone and not even with other members. You have seen what has happened today. I can't take risk anymore just for your some wish."
" You promised me you will give me anything I want right? I'm asking for it princess. It's really important for me."
Aurora glared at Charlie this time.
" Will you stop being ridiculous Charlie? Is there anything more important than your life? I can't understand you at all." Aurora said frustratedly.
Charlie smiled sadly. " I would be amazing if you understood me even a bit. It's okay." Saying that Charlie went upstairs.
Aurora felt a punch on her heart. Why did he say that?
" What did he mean? Where does he want to go?" Sofia asked with confusion.
" We also don't know. Every year on this day he goes somewhere. No one knows actually where. He says it's his secret." Lucas said
" It's okay. He will be fine." Leo said.
" I have some work. Antonia I won't take dinner. I'm not hungry. Don't disturb me." Saying that Aurora went towards her office.
" Is it so important for him? Why did I feel he is hurt?" She kept thinking.
" You should go and prepare for your viva then." Antonia said.
They nodded and went to their rooms.
