You’ll learn what it means to be part of this club. Eventually, you’ll take my place.” I shook my head. “Over my dead body.” He continued as though I hadn’t spoken. “And you’re carrying a child. My grandchild.”

“You think I don’t know what he’s doing? I helped him draw the blueprints.” Julian blinked.
