The Ring Between Rivals

1. A Strange Summons

.
.
.
The Moretti Mansion was unusually quiet that morning.
Noah walked into the dining room, lazily rubbing his eyes while holding a piece of toast
Noah Moretti
Noah Moretti
Morning everyone
No one answered
Noah Moretti
Noah Moretti
...Why does it feel like someone died? [He blinked]
Luca looked up from his coffee.
Luca Moretti
Luca Moretti
You finally noticed (⁠。⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠✧
Noah Moretti
Noah Moretti
Not funny ಠ⁠‿⁠ಠ [Noah frowned]
Before anyone could say another word, the head butler entered.
Head butler
Head butler
Young Master Noah
Noah Moretti
Noah Moretti
Hmm? [he looked at him]
Head butler
Head butler
The master would like to see you
Noah sighed dramatically
Noah Moretti
Noah Moretti
I haven't even finished breakfast ^_⁠_⁠^
Head butler
Head butler
He asked for you immediately
Noah slowly placed the toast back on the plate
Noah Moretti
Noah Moretti
💭 ...That's never a good sign
Luca couldn't help but laugh.
Luca Moretti
Luca Moretti
Need me to prepare your funeral? (⁠*⁠´⁠ω⁠`⁠*⁠)
Noah Moretti
Noah Moretti
If I don't come back
Noah Moretti
Noah Moretti
My motorcycle goes to anyone except you.
Luca Moretti
Luca Moretti
Wow you really don't trust me ಡ⁠ ͜⁠ ⁠ʖ⁠ ⁠ಡ
Noah Moretti
Noah Moretti
Not even a little ಠ⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ⁠ಠ
The room finally filled with quiet laughter
Noah smiled, but it didn't last long
If his father had called for him this early... Something serious had happened.

Somewhere else
A black luxury car stopped in front of Romano Tower.
Inside his office, Adrian signed the last page of a contract before closing the file.
Knock. Knock.
Adrian Romano
Adrian Romano
come in
He's assistant come inside
Andria
Andria's Assistant
Boss, your father requested your presence at mantion
Andria looked up
Adrian Romano
Adrian Romano
Did he give any reason ?
Andria
Andria's Assistant
No Boss
A brief silence filled the room
Adrian stood and picked up his suit jacket
Adrian Romano
Adrian Romano
Cancel my afternoon meetings
Andria
Andria's Assistant
Yes boss
. .
As Adrian walked out of the office, he couldn't ignore the strange feeling in his chest
His father rarely interrupted his work
And when he did... It was never for something small
.
.
.
Tow hair's.
Tow powerful family.
Both summoned without explanation.
Neither of them know...
By the end of the day, their lives would never be the same.

Let's start

Noah stood outside the office door for a few seconds.
Taking a deep breath, he knocked twice.
? ? ?
? ? ?
Come In.
? ? ?
? ? ?
Noah pushed the door open.
His father was reading a file behind his desk
Without looking up, he spoke.
Matteo Moretti
Matteo Moretti
Close the door.
Noah quietly did has he was told.
The room felt silent.
He glanced around.
Noah Moretti
Noah Moretti
💭 ...This is making me nervous.
Matteo finally looked up.
Matteo Moretti
Matteo Moretti
You should be.
Noah Moretti
Noah Moretti
💭 ... that didn't help [Noah blinked]
Matteo closed the file and leaned back in his chair.
Matteo Moretti
Matteo Moretti
There's a banquet tonight.
Noah Moretti
Noah Moretti
Another boring business party?
Matteo Moretti
Matteo Moretti
No.
Noah Moretti
Noah Moretti
Then why am I going ??
Matteo Moretti
Matteo Moretti
Because you're the future heir.
Noah's playful smile faded.
His father only used those words when something serious was about to happen.
Noah Moretti
Noah Moretti
Who's hosting it?
Matteo's expression remained unreadable.
Matteo Moretti
Matteo Moretti
The Romano family.
Noah Moretti
Noah Moretti
W...what ?? [He froze]
Matteo Moretti
Matteo Moretti
You'll be attending with me.
Noah Moretti
Noah Moretti
Since when do we attend Romano events?
Matteo Moretti
Matteo Moretti
Since tonight.
Noah frowned.
None of this made sense.
The Romano and Moretti families hadn't attended the same event in years.
So.
Why now?
Matteo stood and adjusted his suit.
Matteo Moretti
Matteo Moretti
Be ready by seven.
Noah Moretti
Noah Moretti
Dad...
Matteo paused.
Noah Moretti
Noah Moretti
...What's really going on?
For a moment... The room was completely silent. Then Matteo spoke.
Matteo Moretti
Matteo Moretti
You'll know soon enough.
With that, he walked past Noah and left the office.
Noah stood there alone... Staring at the closed door.
Noah Moretti
Noah Moretti
💭...I have a really bad feeling about this.
