Tough Princess

Both Time

Big Boss Turner gives Rivan and Elma a chance to be alone. The man himself chose to meet with Eren and speak with his daughter when the Johnson family was home. Jonnas was given the task of taking care of other problems. This time no one would disturb the conversation between the two of them.

Inside the vast, dark room, Eren looks uncomfortable when his Daddy takes a serious look. Eren had wanted to get angry and revolted because his mob gang had been withdrawn. But somehow when dealing directly with the Daddy he did not dare to say anything but bow and surrender.

"You're my daughter. The little baby that was born from my wife's womb. The little baby I've always been proud of even up to this moment. I was the happiest man in the world when you and your brother were born. And so does what your mom feels. She felt so happy that she had managed to conceive and give birth to both of you." Big Boss Turner spoke first.

"Never once have I compared you two. I educate you according to your own portion. But lately I feel that you are thinking that Daddy is more affectionate with Elma while Elma thinks that Daddy loves you more. You don't need to know where Daddy can find out all that. Because ever since you were born, whatever happened to your life is already in Daddy's hands. You can't hide any secrets from Daddy. Including your plan and Lusi's today to steal Daddy's precious diamond."

Eren widened both eyes because in the end the diamond theft plan was finally discovered. He can't deny it anymore. "I'm sorry, Daddy. I was so angry with Daddy that I decided to steal the diamond. I'll use the diamond for fun and I'll take it as an apology from Daddy for pulling all the mob gangs I've been leading so hard." Although it is clearly wrong. But Eren kept trying to defend himself.

"Daddy is not angry. Even if you take all the property that Daddy has, Daddy won't be upset. All these treasures are yours as well as your brother's" Big Boss Turner replied. There was not a single hint of anger in his heart. Moreover, when he saw Eren's miserable state.

"I want to hear directly the reason from Daddy's mouth, why Daddy could take my mafia gang and limit my territory. My mistake was trivial. I did all that too because I intended to protect Brother Elma."

"You're married. So focus on your husband. Don't wander outside too often. Without the mafia gang you're leading, you can't do what you want anymore." Big Boss Turner turned his gaze away. His chest again began to hurt.

"I like the freedom. Even though I am married, I want to be free. Please don't force me to be a wife whose everyday life is only in the house." Eren resists his father's good intentions. For him it was not a solution, but a punishment.

"As a wife you can also go out of the house. What about your mom first. She is a gentle woman. Not having a mafia gang let alone the ability to defend themselves. But he can shop outside the house and have fun out there."

"Daddy wants me to be like mommy?Hasn't there been a sister Elma who inherited the nature of Mami? Why do I have to be like my mom." If only Eren could walk now, maybe that woman would have walked here. Not just sitting sweet as it is now.

"Eren, why don't you understand Daddy's intentions. Think more mature. You're already married. Your household has become a happy household. You and Zico need to have children so you can have offspring. If you had a mafia gang and Zico had a mafia gang, you two would only be equally focused on the problems in your mafia world. No more focusing on household matters."

"But still it's not fair because my mob gang has to stop." Eren is still not sincere if now he is no longer a boss in a mafia gang.

"You really want to have a mafia gang? You sure it'll benefit you later?" challenge Big Boss Turner.

"I don't have the passion to live if I don't have mafia games anymore. If Daddy keeps pulling my mafia gang, I'm going to form a new mafia gang with abilities I have of my own."

Big Boss Turner was silent. He knows how stubborn Eren is. The man sighed and then set himself up to avoid being provoked by emotions. "alright. Daddy's gonna give your mafia gang back and restore your territory."

Eren's face instantly radiated for a moment. That was what he wanted to hear from the beginning. "Daddy has forgiven me?"

"When Daddy can be mad at you. But there's one condition Daddy wants to give you."

"What's that?" Eren held back his smile.

"Whatever happens in your marriage, never think of leaving your husband."

Eren was silent for a moment. This time he knew that Zico was a man who was very much loved by his own biological father. To the extent that the man is always thought of and always prioritized his feelings.

"I have absolutely no idea what debt has gone on between Daddy and Zico. But I will try to keep my promise."

***

Elma made two coffees and put them on the table. The woman was sitting in the chair opposite to Rivan. They were both in the garden. A beautiful sky accompanied the two of them.

"Truely said Eren. You are a man who is good at seducing," said Elma without looking.

Actually, when viewed again from Elma's facial expression, it looks like the woman is interested in Rivan. It was just that he did not want to make Eren disappointed. Now he leaves it to Eren. If they're a match, Elma and Rivan will get married.

"You're the only woman I've ever wooed. Why do you still not believe that I am really in love with you and want to marry you. You're the only woman in my heart. Didn't I just explain to you that the pregnant woman just wants to ruin my good name. I caught him and put him in jail."

"You don't need to explain this matter at length to me because right now the main condition for me to marry you is Eren's blessing. So from now on think about how to get Eren to bless us."

"Yes I know. But I won't know what to do. Isn't Eren your real brother? You know better how to seduce her." Rivan leaned his body and set a relaxed position.

"Although we are twin brothers but Eren's nature is very difficult to guess. I'll help you later. But I didn't promise."

"If it's like this, I'll be more eager to chase you." Rivan smiled happily at the pretty face of Elma. The man took the coffee and sipped it slowly. Suddenly his facial expression changed when he saw Eren appear there.

Elma who noticed the change in Rivan's attitude immediately twisted her body backwards. Elma smiled warmly seeing Eren appear along with Lusi.

Elma got up from the chair and welcomed Eren's arrival. "Eren, why are you here? It's so cold in here."

"Sister, I want to say goodbye. I have to go home."

"Going home? Why should I go home? Didn't you tell yourself that Zico wasn't home. Better stay here for a few days. Brother will treat your wounds. Brother will take care of you until he recovers. Later when you can walk again the new brother can let you go back to your husband's house." Elma noticed the injury on Eren's leg. The woman became very sad.

"No Brother. I don't want to. Oh yes, Daddy said that Daddy loves us both very much. Did you think Daddy loved me more?" guess Eren wants to know.

Elma was stunned to hear that. But the woman could not cover it anymore. He nodded slowly while holding both of Eren's hands tightly. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't think that."

"I also want to apologize to Sister Elma because all this time I have the same thoughts as Brother Elma. I thought Daddy loved Brother Elma very much because Sister Elma was more kind-hearted than me who couldn't keep quiet."

Elma raised her eyebrows. "You're so weird. Didn't you inherit Daddy's nature, why should you doubt Daddy's affection." Elma rubbed Eren's hair gently.

"Because Daddy used to scold me but always praised you."

Elma laughed at hearing that. "Now we don't need to have such thoughts because Daddy loves us both. Daddy is very old. So it is only natural that what he thinks is not the same as what we think. If you really want to go home soon because you're home because it's been so late. Call your brother when you get home."

"All right." Eren looked towards Rivan who had been looking at him since. "You'd better go home, too, sir, because my brother needs a break."

"I'll be home after this coffee runs out" pointed Rivan at Elma's coffee.

Eren looked towards Lusi behind him. "Let's go home. I want to rest too."

Susi looked down respectfully in front of Elma. "Excuse me, Miss." Elma simply replied with a nod. The woman remained standing there while looking at the departure of Eren as well as Lusi.

"You're right Eren. Daddy really loves us both. I'm happy to hear it" Elma muttered inwardly. The woman felt sorry because all this time had been prejudiced against her own biological father.
