Xavier's Surrogate
Xavier told Monty, his tired eyes taking in the sight of Monty’s fists clenching and unclenching.
He knew Monty wanted to say something but he also knew the man wouldn’t say a word. Xavier had already given an order and as much as he loved his cousin, he also wanted to make sure that he still feared him, that everyone else still feared him.
He would not be viewed as weak in their eyes!
“Sí,” Monty said instead, he gave his usual stiff nod and walked away from Xavier’s desk. As he made his way to the door, there was a firm knock, one that they could all tell who it was immediately.
