Chapter 19: I Don't Want to Give Up

At the Kicher mansion, Dylan was lying on a lounger sunbathing near the pool when Rebeca arrives with the intention of touching her boss's muscular abdomen, but DK is quicker and holds her hand.

“Don’t be so reckless.”

" Our! Rude as always.” the blonde is on the edge of DK's lounge chair

“And you are as baggy as ever.” DK pushes her

"Yikes! I came here to give a message from your father and you treat me like this?”

“Tell him I’m right here by the pool if he wants to talk to me, or wait until later.”

"What? Are you going to keep “Don” waiting? And then I’m the one who’s reckless.”

“He’s my father, don’t forget.” DK barely gives Rebeca and already a deep voice can be heard echoing in the garden near the pool:

“Dylan stop lamenting over that woman, you and her should never have had any kind of relationship in the first place, she is a Hahn and you are a Kicher, and our families never mix and the proof of everything is that she almost killed you if it weren’t for the bulletproof vest, I would now be crying over the death of my only son.”

"Already understood. But I still want you to know that I'm going to find out who killed Anthony Hahn. It's a matter of honor for me.”

“And then what are you going to do? Tell her and wait for her to run back into her arms? Dylan is past time for you to forget your feelings for this woman and focus on your work, I’m not going to live forever.” Alexander alert

“What are you trying to tell me, dad?

“Turn your thoughts back to our business, I need you son.” the powerful leader Kicher lowers his previously imposing and now somewhat meek voice.

“Dad, is everything okay?”

"Of course. It's just that I'm getting old and tired, but I can't retire with you wasting time licking the wounds that woman left on you. Even she made it clear that family was more important. But what about you, Dylan Kicher? What’s most important now?” Alexander goes back inside the house, leaving his son to reflect.

" Damn it! Him talking like that makes me a little guilty.” Dk release his thoughts out loud.

“And you should really feel guilty, you didn’t prioritize him or our organization.” Rebecca opines

“I didn’t ask your opinion. Get out of my sight.” DK gives the order for Rebeca and get lifting up and jumping into the pool for a quick swim.

“Wow DK, you are so…Sexy”

After diving in the pool, DK gets ready for the next mission just in the company of Oliver and Jacob, Rebeca stayed with Alexander who was at the window of his office watching his son go out with his subordinates.

“Did he ask any questions about me after i get off?”

“Not godfather.”

“It's better this way. I don’t want to make a fuss about my illness.” Alexander sits in his chair

“With all due respect, I think you should tell DK about what is happening, how are you going to explain to him the consequences of your treatment? There will be days when you will be weaker and more vulnerable.”

“Thank you for reminding me of that, Rebeca.” Alexander is sarcastic: “Don’t worry, I’ll send him to California and he’ll manage the business there.”

“Godfather, can I ask you a favor?”

“Sure, as many as you want.”

“Could you help me with DK?”

“Do you want me to force Dylan to marry you? I can try for the tenth time, but I again don’t think it will work.”

“I don’t want to give up.”

“This obsession of yours is going to end badly, if after so many years you haven't managed to get Dylan to look at you with different eyes, I don't think it will be now. Why don’t you give Oliver a chance, you know very well that he likes you.”

“Thank you for the godfather advice, but my heart only to beat for the DK and what I'm asking for is just what was agreed between sir and my father before he died.”

“Are you charging me?”

"Understand it however you want.” Rebeca finally left Alexander’s office.

“Insolent girl!”

In the same meantime, Johnny returns home with Bella, they both seemed calm and happy, Jimena is the first to realize that her son-in-law had managed to double her daughter.

“Looks like made peace.”

"Yes we are well."

“That's good daughter, tomorrow I have a charity event to go to,I'd like to accompany me.”

“But weren't you going back to New York??”

“Yes, but we decided to stay a few more weeks. We can stay, or do you want to see us away from here?” Bella smiles

“Of course not, little sister. This is also your home and you and your family will always be welcome here.”

After this awkward moment, everyone disperses Bella goes to the games room with Théo enjoying time with his son while Benjamin locks himself in his office with James to carry out his research on private ports and airports for purchase, little did he know that his mother was helping Johnny with this same task

“Buy this one in Lighthouse Point, I'm sure Benjamin will buy the one in Fort Lauderdale, as for the airport and port, buy the ones in Deerfield Beach.” Jimena advises and awakening Johnny's curiosity

“How do you know all these things?”

“My father was Anthony's father's Consigliere, Mr. Luigi liked it so much that the two made a marriage agreement for us and that's how my life became hell.”

"Hmm! And how do you know which port Benjamin is buying?”

“An intelligent woman never reveals her secrets and thoughts.” Jimena smiles

Later that night, in a not-so-luxurious motel, Jimena waits for someone who doesn't take long to arrive:

“I couldn’t wait to see you.” He hugs the beautiful woman who reciprocates

“Did anyone see you arrive?”

“Of course not, we've been doing this for so long and you still ask me the same question every time.”

"You're right. I'm sorry, James.” Jimena kisses the right arm of her son who was previously Anthony's main subordinate
