"handled boss" Drake replied with is head bowed. "Boss the council are still on the discussion on pressuring you to get married."

 Ethan Scoffed, "seriously Drake you know me too well I don't like getting myself to stuck with a woman".

A sound of glass shattering in the office was heard Drake Stared at his boss as he broke the glass of whiskey in his hand.

" Those Old Fools think they can control me what audacity they all have,not only that but they want to replace me with that idiot get the men ready they need to know and be reminded who is in charge".

Drake remain standing and not moving away from where he was Ethan already fuming with anger "are you defining my order Drake or have you decided to betray me and join them"

Drake hesitate for a second and answered boss

"friendly advice why not get a contract marriage there are many enemies in the council why not play the game with them to find out who are your enemies in the council find out what they are real motive and eliminate them".

 Ethan looks at Drake and claps his hands

" bravo Drake you are indeed my best strategist and the only person I wouldn't kill if you called me a fool."

"that's why you have me boss, now what do we do should I should I get a marriage Alliance from the other Mafia maybe Spain, Korea, or Japanese."

" No no no" Ethan refuse "this is where you made a mistake Mr strategist my enemy could be anyone even from other mafias so you have to thread carefully to eliminate them all we have to find someone outside the mafia someone who is not part of the underworld game someone innocent submissive someone who have no idea about this world."
