Valerie and Shia turned out to be the same age, but Shia was still in college with an art major. It seems that Shia really likes to play the piano, it looks from the way she speaks and moves very gracefully. Not like him...
"Shia, have you known her for a long time?" Valerie asked curiously, when else did she wonder about her cousin who she thought was stiff.
"That's, it's been a long time. In the spring, we met at a seminar. Incidentally, I played the piano there and Iel the donor stayed." Shia softly.
"Oh my God, you're so adorable...." Anxious Valerie, she is eager to tear Shia apart for being cute and pretty.
"That, i.... Does Iel not have another woman?" He asked with his head down and a hand that could not stand still, seemingly nervous and embarrassed.
"Huh, you know what? I used to think that he was impotent, because ever since I knew him he never had a single woman. That's why I was so surprised when he introduced you as his girlfriend, you weren't threatened right?" Curious Valerie.
"T-no, that... Iel has also explained everything about you, including your wedding yesterday. I'm..."
"Where are you? why didn't you come? is it okay, Sister Iel didn't tell him? honestly, it's okay..." Cut Valerie who looks so excited.
"N-no, Iel jutsru told me but I couldn't come because I had an event that couldn't be delayed." Evidently.
"Good, I think he's reluctant to introduce you to us. Have you met my father?" Curious Valerie, she still had many questions she had to ask Shia.
"Th-having..." Nod her.
"Hows it? my dad's good, right??" Happy Valerie.
"L-yes, you guys are so good." Nod her.
"Oh come on Shia, don't be so nervous okay? consider us old friends who already know, ahh no... You can consider me a brother from now on." Valerie.
"Good..." Take it slow.
Valerie and Shia chatter looks fun and cool, more precisely Shia like a criminal interrogated by Valerie. Jackson and Gabriel saw the two of them from upstairs, both of whom were having a serious conversation about their business.
"So, everything's ready, right?" Jackson asked Gabriel.
"Sure, you should see it in person later. So Valerie also took a vacation there..." Nod Gabriel.
"I know." Relax Jackson.
"By the way, I'm going to talk as Valerie's brother. Not as your partner, so you don't misinterpret me as being disrespectful." Firm Gabriel.
"I know, let's be cousins." Jackson's grin filled with scorn, it made Gabriel snort annoyed but he could do nothing.
"Don't beat around the bush, I don't want any danger to happen to Valerie. Uncle already knows that you have a business on the black market, can you guarantee Valerie's safety?" Ask Gabriel seriously.
Jackson seemed relaxed, he even turned on his cigarette before finally sucking it to make the smoke billow in the air.
"Without saying anything, I'm gonna take care of Valerie with my own life, about my father-in-law... I've explained it." Jackson was calm.
"Ahh, that news. It turns out that it has been widespread until Mr. Gabriel himself also knows how the closed black market is..." Cynical Jackson who makes Gabriel speechless, he forgets that Jackson is the leader of the black market.
"I just heard from a few people." Gabriel's elak even made Jackson laugh.
"You're so funny, cousin." Jackson's smile still looked calm.
Gabriel clenched his hands tightly, he turned his face to the side because no matter how he hid his secret Jackson would easily find out.
"Alright, it looks like you already know about my identity on the black market. Then, what are you going to do in the future?" Ask Gabriel sharply.
It seemed like their chatter had started to get serious because Jackson himself had already turned off his cigarette and started staring at Gabriel full of ridicule.
"Pront? not much, maybe I'll get rid of pests like you. And make things calm as usual...." Relax Jackson.
"You!!!" Gabriel growled with his hands.
"You think, because what's the black market falling apart, huh? it's all because of the coup that your stupid people put on!!you want to take over the black market hmm??" Jackson asked sarcastically and glared at his sharp eyes.
"That's...." Gabriel just kept quiet by lowering his head.
"Curtain!! if you want, you can tell me. Don't you want to be the leader of the black market because you haven't got the blessing of your lover's parents? by being a leader, they're going to bless your relationship, aren't they?" Jackson's leisure again made Gabriel speechless with a flat expression.
"I'll give you a warning, let's just say it's a warning given by your cousin-in-law. Better, you leave that woman. Their families are not good, in the future there will be many victims and problems that arise." Resolutely Jackson seriously, he patted Gabriel on the shoulder slowly.
"I can't, I love her...." Gabriel stared at Jackson.
"If you insist on it, I can give you my position as a gift of our brotherhood. But, I'll put forth some secret terms for you. All of this, for our good in the future. How's it?" Ask Jackson with confidence.
"You sure?" Ask Gabriel who does not believe that Jackson will be generous like this.
"Of course, I already have a family and will be a father. I don't want to deal with it anymore, but even so.... I'm powerless if one day my son will get back involved."
"I understand, but I hope. You can help me as much as you can, Jack!" Gabriel looked at Jackson expectantly.
Jackson smiled, he understood what Gabriel was feeling. Everything will be done even though life is at stake, because it can be destroyed because of love.
Whether the end is good or bad, Jackson will help Gabriel as much as he can. If Jackson can choose, maybe he will make Gabriel live happily with the woman of his choice.
But it all depends on fate and fate, everything can be changed except for these two things.
"Tonight, come with me to the secret room. There, there were some of my men on guard at the black market. I'll introduce you to them..." Jackson.
"All right, thanks Jack." Happy Gabriel.
"Of course, but... What is this, do you want a secret to Valerie? I think Valerie's gonna go berserk if she finds out the truth."
