Not even when Jed turned sixteen and instead of a gift, father made him train with a nasty brute of a man named Serge. Father told Serge not to take it easy on Jed and he barely made it out of the match alive.

Always a way out.

No, in this moment, I feel much more anxious than when Jed was slowly dying ten feet in front of me.

Alan adjusts his tie for the hundredth time while the host, Margarette Knowles, asks Paul the next question. So far, the questions have been on the subtle side. Why he chose to run now?

She hasn't even asked about Paul about not going to the formal dinner back in New York.
