Chapter 23: Loyalty Is Earned

(TYLER)

Sasha's gaze shifts to studying his mother as he chews on a piece of bacon. "How is father this morning?"

"He had a bad night." Lucia's smile fades

"I assume he's up in his office working." A frown works up on Sasha's face.

"Of course, is that a question?" Jericho mumbles.

"Yes, at least he has something to focus on." Lucia picks up her cup from the table, and I notice her hands tremble. I don't know about her relationship with her husband, but if I had to guess, her emotions seem to have taken a toll on her. I wonder if she married him for love. Are violent thugs like him even capable of love? Lucia however seems to love her sons, and they love her back.
