Reborn for revenge
Sherephina stepped forward in alarm.
“Stop! Both of you!”
But her voice landed too late.
Julius grabbed Elias’ collar.
Elias tensed, ready to swing.
Before the fight escalated, a cane slammed against the floor.
“ENOUGH!”
Grandpa Tomas entered the hall with fury blazing in his eyes.
The two men froze immediately.
Grandpa pointed the cane between them.
“This is my house, not a boxing ring.”
Julius released Elias.
Elias stepped back, jaw tight.
Grandpa’s gaze swept the room, then settled on Sherephina—softening, but heavy with worry.
