No surprise there—Victoria and Alexander launched into a full-blown blowout.

Old habits die hard: fights meant dredging up ancient dirt.

Victoria ripped into him for not giving a damn about their son, playing favorites with the bastard kid, total deadbeat dad...

    Francis pounded on his parents’ bedroom door.Mom, open the door!A moment later, the door was yanked open.Preston stood there in a deep blue robe, his eyes dark enough to spill frost.Francis, what the hell are you doing at this hour?Seeing his father’s perpetual stern face and hearing the scolding the second he opened his mouth made Francis’ temper spike.What hour? It’s only eleven. He slipped right past Preston into the room.You brat! All your manners been eaten by dogs?Preston grabbed the back of his collar with a sharp tug.In the scuffle, his gaze caught the shadowy edge of a tattoo peeking out from Francis’ neckline.His pupils shrank.You got another tattoo?None of your business!
