Bound By Blood
Adam’s eyes flicker to me and I suppress my sigh as I step forward and answer the question, “Her name is Raya. Arthur Locke gave her to us to cover his debt.”
Julian’s face scrunches up, it’s rare for us to accept deals like that and he knows it. He asks, “What’s special about her?”
Luther answers nonchalantly, “She’s his daughter.”
Our father’s eyebrows raise and he asks, “Julian had a child.”
“Apparently.” Adam mumbles.
“Huh,” our father murmurs. He asks, “Where is she?”
“Getting rest.” Adam responded and Luther added, “She turned 18 tonight. As we all remember, that is a hectic night.”
