Unexpected Encounter: A Second Chance at Love

Riftan threw his head back and chuckled, "Well, you should try that. It's actually very relaxing and peaceful."

He then looked at Andrew and smiled. "It's good seeing you again. I heard you got married." He took a sip of his drink. "Congratulations."

Without cutting any chase, Andrew sat down beside him and asked, "Cut the chase Genevosse and tell me directly what you are up to." Riftan showing up with Rachael's coat made him feel very uncomfortable. He wanted to rip him off for touching something that belonged to his wife but he couldn't act rationally. Keeping his temper was the best thing he could do.

"Marriage has made you so impatient," Riftan sighed. "But well, even I would have been very impatient if I had a wife as beautiful as Rachael."

When all the four men frowned, he tilted his head and smirked, "Did I accidentally hit a soft spot here?"

Owen sighed and looked at Daniel. "Can I break his nose?"

"No." Daniel looked at Riftan. "We are here to discuss business, not our women."

"Well—" Riftan chuckled. "Let's just say I am quite impressed with the fantastic taste in women you Volkov men have. Kate, Elsa and now Rachael."

He looked at Owen. "That leaves you. Tell me, do you have your eyes set on someone too?"

"Okay, I am going to punch him—"

Before Owen could take a step forward, Justin stopped him and Kazi protectively shielded Riftan.

"One more step Volkov and you are fucking dead," Kazi narrowed his eyes.

"Owen, calm down." Daniel patted his shoulder.

"Kazi back down." Riftan instructed his right hand man. "We are here to discuss business, not fight."

"It's funny how you claim that you aren't here to stir trouble when you are sitting there with my wife's belonging on your lap." Andrew looked at the coat and Riftan simultaneously.

"Oh this—" Riftan gently touched the coat. "If it makes you feel better, I am here to return it." He then handed it to Andrew. "Thank Rachael for me, will you?"

Andrew took the coat from his hand. "I surely will."

"Alright now since we are done with the threats and glaring, can we start and get over this?" Justin remarked. "I don't know about you both but we definitely have better things to do."

"Sending your man to spy on me." Riftan sighed and helplessly shook his head. "Not cool Volkov."

Daniel scoffed. "It's not like you haven't done it before or do I have to remind you?"

"Oh you don't have to," he chuckled. "I remember."

"Playing dirty is a part of our world, Genovesse," Andrew stated. "You have your fair share of dirt and so do we."

"Fair enough." Riftan nodded. "What were you thinking bringing an innocent woman to his cruel and dirty world, Volkov?"

Before Andrew could answer, he added, "If I was you, I would have never done it."

He sighed and helplessly shook his head. "Who will protect Rachael after I kill you?"

Andrew smirked. "Oh trust me, that is not something you have to worry about."

"Innocent reminds me, how is your sister Genovesse?" When Riftan frowned, Owen smirked, "Janet, right?"

When his expression darkened, Daniel remarked, "Did Owen hit your soft spot this time?"

Everyone was aware about Riftan's protectiveness over his sister, Janet Genovesse. While the man wasn't afraid of anything and barely had any weakness, Janet was an exception.

"What are you frowning at?" Owen raised his brows at Kazi. "Is Janet your soft spot as well?"

Riftan tightened his grip on his glass and slammed it on the table. "Enough, don't talk about my sister."

"Don't talk about my wife as well," Andrew stated. "If you want us to keep your sister away from this, you have to stay away from all our women as well."

"Trust me, Genovesse—" he added. "The day any of them loses a single hair because of you, we will make sure your sister suffers ten fold of what they have."

"I don't touch the ladies," Riftan stated. "You know that." This was the one thing everyone was aware of about him.

"We never have and never will harm an innocent life as long as people like you know their limit," Daniel remarked. "Now shall we start the meeting? I have to be home before my wife wakes up."

…..

After the meeting which turned out to be a stressful and unsuccessful one as they had predicted, Riftan and Kazi prepared to leave.

"Well, too bad we couldn't settle on a particular thing," Riftan chuckled, "But it was fun."

"Just get the hell out of here," Owen growled at him. He was already in a very sour mood and Riftan's corny attitude wasn't helping.

Before leaving, Riftan looked at Andrew. "You can be rest assured that I will never make a move to harm you through your wife but the same can't be said for others. You have more enemies than you think Andrew and they are waiting to get back at you."

Without waiting for his reply, he walked away along with Kazi.

"Woah, what the fuck is wrong with this guy?" Justin scoffed. "Did he just ask Andrew to be careful?"

Daniel patted Andrew's shoulder. "Don't get all hyped up because of him, he is just trying to test your patience."

"He wasn't wrong though, was he?" Owen sighed. "The sooner we go back to the city the better."

"We have to stay until mom's anniversary."

"Let's just increase the security around them for now," Justin suggested. "It's not like we leave their side anyway."

The three agreed with Justin.

"What are you being grumpy about?" Riftan looked at Kazi.

"You warned him," Kazi snapped. "You fucking warned him Rif. What the fuck is wrong with you?"

When Riftan did not say anything, he scoffed, "So now you are not going to say anything? Are we just going to pretend like you didn't just give your enemy a heads up about his other enemies trying to bite his ass?"
