Ryder sat behind his large black desk, the papers neatly arranged in front of him. He had been going through reports for hours, his face calm but his eyes sharp. Work was the only thing that kept his mind steady. Enemies always waited for weakness, and he refused to show any.
Kellan’s condition still lingered in his thoughts, but Ryder would not allow it to distract him. He had already been to the hospital that morning, stayed until his mother, his elder brother, and Asher arrived. Once they were settled, he returned to his office.
