~Tamia~ I leaned into Sylvester in the Limo, and he held me tight. Linda was in Theodore's arms, and we rode in silence. I wondered why Vino would allow Larry to bring their exes there. Was he trying to ruin our relationship? Then again, I also knew that the council members bullied him, so he must
"He accused Sylvester of increasing taxes for poor people, and sending soldiers to attack people that couldn't pay. Who does that to his blood? Does he not know that the entire Volkov family will lose the Lordship if Sylvester falls?" I asked her, and she was still stunned. "Dominic is your son, an
