Coming back inside from my phone call, the office's light is on and the door is open. I see Blanche standing by the bookshelf and looking down at something in her hand. I love the way she looks, she belongs here. I’m going to do whatever I can do to keep her right next to me. When I step towards her, I see that she’s looking at a picture of me when I was younger with my father and her grandfather.

I remember that day like it was yesterday. That day was when my dad told me that I would start training to take over for him when he died. That I would continue our legacy within The Wolves. I would continue to serve Le Parrain or the godfather. I was so proud that day. Growing up, all I wanted was to prove myself to both men.

My father was considered le caïd, or second in command in Le Milieu. I knew from a young age that I would take over for my father. I had to learn to control my emotions and to always be aware of the bigger picture. That every choice had a consequence and some were worse than others. In the Le Milieu, kids start training for their job at a young age. That way when it's time to take over from the generation before, they are already hardened and show no weakness.

What I don’t understand is why Blanche’s family kept her in the dark. She seems so confused and lost the more she learns about who her family is. I wonder what her grandmother was thinking. It’s hard to speculate what the plan could have possibly been. I assume her plan was to marry Blanche off to Nicholas, for him to run The Wolves. They probably hoped that Blanche would just obey with no complaints. Well, that just shows how little her grandmother knows her. I’ve only known her for a few days and can tell that she’s not one to just obey without explanation. She’s not one to just lie down and take anything.

When her grandmother got sick, I’m guessing the timeline of the marriage was moved up. I’m betting Nicholas was supposed to take over as the leader, but the members wouldn’t have accepted him unless he was a part of the family. That fucker is always trying to reach for more power than he should. He has another thing coming though if he thinks I’m gonna let that happen. He’ll never get his hands on her. I’ll kill him first.

That’s why my plan is the best one we have. It’ll force the Old Lady to come up with a different plan since she won’t be marrying Nicholas. I’ll take over The Wolves with Blanche by my side and still get revenge for my family. Now, just to convince my Red.

She must sense me behind her because she looks over her shoulder. Her eyes are strong with lust mixed with another emotion. I want to find out more, but that will have to wait.
