The Williams Estate in Tokyo, Japan

[Anna Leigh Williams]

Nearly 20 years ago, the Williams Matriarch Johanna Williams, was poisoned to death by a woman bound for revenge. In her will, she left her two estates and business to all four of her children. Now, Anna and Lillian currently reside in the Estate in Dublin, as CEO of Williams Weapons and Armory. In 2030, the business added a Tokyo location. Christopher Williams runs this establishment with his eldest daughter Elysium, and has lived in the Estate in Tokyo ever since. All three siblings left Nina with an open invitation to stay anytime she needed to in either Estate.

Deep in his room, the son of Christopher and Marcella Williams sat on his bed, reading. He had the same name as his father, so the family called him by his middle name to avoid confusion. James flipped the pages through, and placed a bookmark inside. He shut the book, and set it down on his bedside table. He got up, putting on a white t shirt, and some jeans. He walked up to the mirror, and brushed his hands through his wavy hair. He walked out into the hall, ready to eat breakfast. 

"Mom?!" He called out. "Did dad go to work yet!?" He asked.

Back in her room, Marcella was still fast asleep in her bed until the sound of her son's voice woke her up and out of her slumber, flipping over and looking at her clock, her eyes widened as she realized that it was around 9:30 AM which was typically late in their household.

Looking over to the empty spot next to her, it was clear that Chris had already gone to work.

"Yes James, your dad already left, did you need him for something?" Marcella called out to her son.

Meanwhile, downstairs Celina had already prepared breakfast for her family since her mother got up a little later than usual. She placed plates down and glasses of orange juice around the table..

"Guys! Breakfast is ready!" She called out to her mother and brother.

James walked up to his mother, "I was going to ask him if it was okay if I went to Ely's this weekend..." He said. "I don't think he'd care, but I wanted to ask anyways... Do you care..?" He asked. He hadn't seen his eldest sister in a few weeks. Not to mention, he enjoyed hanging out with Eric too. "Heck, He might even ask to stay with her too..." He said, grinning. "She invited me, and everything!" He said with a smile.

He heard Celina mention dinner was ready, and went down stairs with his mother. "Hey, Cel..." He leaned against the island. "You coming to Elysium's this weekend...?" He asked. 

He grabbed his fork, and started eating his food. "She asked me to ask you if you wanted to come. She wanted to tell us something..." He said.

"Of course I don't mind sweetie, that's your sister. Why wouldn't I allow you to visit her silly?" Marcella told her son as she ruffled his hair playfully.

Soon, she joined her children downstairs, and planted kisses on both of their foreheads, "Thank you for breakfast sweet heart." Marcella said to her daughter before grabbing her utensils and eating.

"You're welcome Mom!" Celina responded to her mother before looking over at her brother who asked her if she wanted to go with him over to their eldest sister's house.

"Sure! I'll go with you! But I have to drive!" Celina stuck her tongue out at her brother playfully, teasing him about using her mother's newly brought sports car.

Marcella almost choked from laughter, she pointed over to the old set of keys that belong to a car that she and Chris used to own when Celina and James were babies, and it still works perfectly fine.

"No way in hell are you two driving my newly brought car. You guys know the rules."

Celina sucked her teeth in disappointment, "Aw but mom! I got my license before James did, I should be able to drive it!"

Marcella looked at her daughter, "Yeah two weeks ago, if you're going to your sister's house then you drive the family car no excuses."

James chuckled at the scene. "Celina, Mom owns one thing on this property that we didn't inherit from our grandmother... Let her have that.." He giggled. He finished off his food, and washed his plate. He turned towards the entrance of their home when he heard the door open. His face immediately lit up at the sight of his eldest sister, Elysium. She waved, pulling her long dark hair behind her shoulder. The blonde was doing so much damage to her hair, she decided to go natural years ago. She didn't appear to age much over the years. She had on all black, with slim fitted pants, a sports coat and heels. Despite her high heels, James was still taller than her. 

He ran up to her, and gave her a big bear hug. "What are you doing here, I thought we were coming to you...!" He said. 

She grinned, "Well..." She still had her Irish accent. "I figured I'd come to the both of you..." She took her baby brother's hands. "Since you aspire to do business with us someday, I figured I'd take you with me to work to see how weapons are made!"

James' eyes lit up, smiling. He nodded. "I'd like that!" He said. 

She clapped her hands together, "Perfect..." She turned to Celina, "If you'd like to come, you're more than welcome to... But I figured you could come and we could make our special cakes that we used to when you were little..." She pinched Celina's cheek. James smiled at his sisters. "Are you gonna teach me how to use the bayonette...? It is your favorite.." He said. 

Elysium raised a brow, "I'll consider it...." She said, grinning. She then walked over to Marcella, and gave her a hug. "I just want to tell you..." She turned to her siblings, "Grandmother would so proud to see them..." She turned back to her step-mother. "She'd be proud of how you did...."

[Ling Xiaoyu]

Celina smiled at her brother, before watching him get the door. She wondered who it was before she sat down to eat with her mother, when she heard Elysium's voice, she immediately got up from the table and ran over to her sister and almost jumped into her arms to hug her.

Celina and her brother, James, are really close with their elder sister. Celina gave her sister a hug, and pulled away, "This is a pleasant surprise! I thought we were going to visit you and Eric!"

She looked around, trying to find her brother in law, they normally travel in pairs along with their kids, "Speaking of, where are Eric and my little minions?"

When Elysium brought up making cakes, Celina's eyes beamed, "Yes! I would love to!!" She was so excited, almost like a kid in a candy store.

Back in the kitchen, Marcella felt Elysium's embrace, she reached up and placed a kiss on her cheek. The comment that Elysium said, made Marcella tear up a little.

"I'm sure of it, I try hard with these little babies." She wiped the tear when it fell down her cheek, "I know she would be proud of you too Ely, just like I am."

[Anna Leigh Williams]

Elysium grinned, "Martin and Valerie are at home with their father..." She crossed her arms, "And Martin is in trouble, because he decided to shoot arrows through my stainglass windows...." She gave the mom angry smile. She tucked her hair behind her ears. "Anyways... Let's get going.... I have to do some reports at home, so James you can be with me for that... and Celina, you can help me not to strangle my children..." She made a choking motion with her hands, laughing. 

She turned to Marcella. "You need to come over more often, mommy dearest..." She said to Marcella, winking at her. "Eric misses you... He keeps on talking about the old days... and for some reason he keeps bringing up when Daddy beat him up." She crossed her arms, looking at her sister.

"I'm sorry.." She mouthed at Celina. "He's gonna kill whoever you bring home..."
