Luke walks into the mansion where he lives with his parents and Hayley. He goes to the study and knocked and went in.
“Hey Dad, Mom,” Luke said.
“Hi honey,” Barbara said.
“Son, you will become king on Friday, did you find your queen yet?” Peter asked. Luke's father is the current king of the Stone Mafia which is the biggest and baddest around. No one dared to cross them.
“I think I have, Hayley's boss, Karly,” Luke said.
“Have you asked her yet?” Barbara asked.
“Well, I'm her date tonight with her brothers, Hayley is one of her brothers date,” Luke said.
“Does she know what you do?” Barbara said.
“No, not yet, Hayley didn't tell her anything about our family other than we own some businesses,” Luke said.
“If you feel that she is the one, you will need to tell her the truth before Friday,” Peter said.
“So, I have six days to make her my queen, what if she runs when I tell her the truth, will I still be king?” Luke asked.
“You know the rules, you can't be king without a queen,” Peter said.
“Son, if she doesn't accept it, we will just postpone until you find someone,” Barbara said.
“Postpone it for a week, let me have more time with Karly, please,” Luke said.
“Okay, you have two weeks, son, get your queen,” Peter said.
“Hi Mama, Pops,” Hayley said. She kissed Peter on the cheek and hugged Barbara.
“Hi honey, we were just talking about your brother's ceremony,” Barbara said.
“Friday, right?” Hayley asked.
“Postponed for a week so he can have more time with his choice of queen,” Peter said.
“You want Karly?” Hayley asked.
“Maybe,” Luke said.
“Luke, please be good to her, don't hurt her, she's been hurt in the past,” Hayley said.
“How?” Luke asked.
“She did have a boyfriend three years ago, he cheated on her and abused her, her brothers helped her get away,” Hayley said.
“And the ex?” Luke asked.
“still out there somewhere, he's scared of her brothers so he won't go near her, I guess because of the restraining order and he doesn't want to go to jail and risk his rep,” Hayley said.
“Hayley, you know I would never hit a woman and I would never cheat,” Luke said.
“I know but she is cautious when it comes to relationships,” Hayley said.
“So, this is going to be longer than two weeks,” Luke said.
“We will extend it if needed,” Peter said.
“We will see what happens tonight,” Hayley said.
“I should go get ready,” Luke said.
“Me, too,” Hayley said. They went upstairs to their rooms to get ready for the date. Luke came down ready to go.
“You look handsome, honey,” Barbara said.
“Thanks, Ma,” Luke said. Hayley came downstairs. She wore her hair like she always did and didn't brother with makeup because she preferred her natural beauty.
“Beautiful,” Peter said.
“Thanks, Pops,” Hayley said.
“Shall we head out,” Luke said.
“Let's go,” Hayley said. They left for the restaurant.
