My cousin. He had the same sharp jawline, same almond-shaped eyes, but where Phoenix radiated craziness, Alaric moved like a storm held in check — calm, calculating, effortlessly intimidating.

Alaric took him gently, holding him with a confidence that said this wasn’t his first time.

CHAPTER FOUR : the heir's caretaker The next candidate stepped forward, and I felt my breath catch in my throat because she was absolutely stunning, with wide hips that seemed made for bearing children. Her name was Anya. She carried herself with the confidence of someone who had never known what it felt like to be unwanted, and she smiled at Mrs. Volkov like she had already won, like this selection was just a formality and she was the obvious choice. She spoke about her family's wealth and her own accomplishments, and I watched the other candidates nod and whisper among themselves, acknowledging her as a serious contender.

But seeing the crazed old man before the mirror, they ultimately moved forward and restrained him, each taking one side. "Jade! Look at me! I'm Terry! Don't you recognize me?!" He stared at me fiercely until he was dragged out of the door. I simply waved my hand, urging them to hurry up. His cries grew fainter. I turned to the confused Sarah and reached out gently to touch her belly. "Don't be scared. You're safe now. Take care of yourself and the baby. After all, the baby's the heir to the Bolton family."

Ayodele couldn’t help but be amazed at the fast-paced synchronization of everything. While she was talking, the attendants kept primping, pinning, and tucking things in her hair, and in no time at all she had another different updo.

“Really? It saddens me to think we will get old, Kairo! I don’t want to be like Grandpa!” Atticus exclaimed and turned his head to face my father, who was complaining about how his two grandchildren kept messing with him. Ashton watched Atticus run fast towards the tree and attempt to climb, but he failed. He wailed as he complained about how the guard had the ability to go to the top of the tree while he couldn’t. “Atticus, I’m old, but I can climb the tree!” My father bragged, making him receive a harsh smack from my mother.
