“I’m sorry.”
“I’m not.”
“Were you able to go to school and have friends?”
“Yes.”
“Did you enjoy it?”
Fuck, the school had been a godsend for him. He was a popular guy who got a lot of attention from the girls and guys that wanted to be like him.
She had asked a few questions by the time he heard the door open.
Chapter Three
The three sisters and a large scary-looking man walked into the dining room.
He waited to call attention to himself until one of the girls asked about the evening before and why their mother was upset. “I happened,” Dominic said.
He watched his sister’s face as they were told he was their brother. He expected resentment or anger, but all he could see was confusion and then surprise and joy.
“Wait, he’s the child that was born before me and was stillborn?” Faith asked.
“Your father took him away from me and told me he had d-died.”
“What the hell?” Hope yelled. “That fucking bastard. I hope he’s rotting in hell where he belongs.”
Dominic had to agree if he really was dead. The man had been a bastard to his soul.
“So, why did you come now? You’re what? Twenty-five?” Faith asked.
“My—our father hadn’t called me lately, and no one would give me answers when I called here, so I decided to visit.”
“I wish you had come sooner,” Hope said. “It would have been nice.”
Fuck, he definitely didn’t need this.
“You don’t want to get to know us at all, do you?” Angelica asked.
“For what purpose?” he asked.
“You come into our home…” Faith said.
“Actually, it’s mine,” he interrupted.
“What?” Faith asked in confusion.
Aria spoke up. “When I pass away, the estate goes to Dominic. You three will have inheritances that we can go overlater.”
“I know I don’t want to deal with the business side of things,” Faith said. “I’ve got enough to deal with with my husband.”
“Watch it, babe,” Graham said.
Dominic got the same vibe from the man standing behind Faith that he did with the Alastair guy the night before. “Who are you?”
“I’m Graham Maclean, your sister’s husband. The other two are also married to a few of my brothers.”
“How cozy, keeping it in the family.”
