Marcus’ hands paused momentarily as he turned his head.
“Do you also fancy exile?”
That was an undeniable threat, and the potency of it was striking. A topic that
Bruce had thought to raise was discarded for another.
“You've been seeking a masterful surgeon recently, if whispers are to be trusted.
What seems to be the malady?” he ventured.
“You have quite an informed network. Any leads for me?” Marcus drew an
ointment, applying it to his neck with purpose.
“Leads? They're not a distance away; they're practically before us. Our eldest
cousin, acclaimed for his surgical prowess worldwide, might be of service.”
A frosty glare from Marcus was all it took to reduce the volume in Bruce's voice to

Millie found the gesture peculiar. An unwarranted holiday? However, it didn’t take

A few moments after Millie had settled back into her chair, the study door swung
open. Leon marched out, leaving a chilling aura in his wake.
“Go kneel at the door. You may rise only when I permit.” Claudia emerged,
leaning heavily on her cane.
At Claudia’s command, Leon, who had been striding forward, stiffened
momentarily, then resumed his pace, dropping to his knees at the door.
