Chapter 0172


    “You will, just not right now,” Sebastian says. “There’s a lot we need to discuss prior, and I wonder if


    you might have any more insight into certain things.”


    I look at his father, who simply continues working on hisptop, wondering if I should go over or not..


    I decide to do so and cross the room. “Mr. King, it’s good to see you after so long. I apologise for


    upsetting you and for any pain I have caused you.” I say, offering him my hand.


    He pauses, his sharp blue eyes that are duller than Sebastian’s flick to mine, and he c ocks a brow,


    reminding me a lot of his son. “You will need to earn my eptance. You are the reason this family was


    torn apart-”


    “That’s not true. I’m the one who cheated on her. I’m the one who hurt her and rejected her. You know


    that. She had nothing to do with that.” Sebastian says sharply.


    I look over at him mouthing ‘I can handle it’, but he’s not having it. His eyes are shing silver as he


    res at his father.


    Aran scoffs as he snaps hisptop shut and stands to his full height, ring at his son with anger or…


    is that hatred?


    My stomach sinks as I look between them. Both men are staring at one another with contempt and


    hostility…


    things hadn’t just gotten ‘bad’ this was far worse than I could have imagined.


    How? How could things have gotten so bad? Is this my fault?


    “Ok, let’s all sit down, Look we are happy that Zaia is here, right Aran?

    She’s home. Our grandchildren are home.”


    “A little toote… What’s the point of your return now when it is already toote,” he mutters the end


    part, and I almost don’t hear it as Agatha begins fussing over Sebastian and me, but I just about caught


    it.


    “Toote? Why is it toote, Mr. King?” I ask quietly, making Agatha and Sebastian look at us sharply.


    His eyes snap up to me and I see him clench his jaw, but he refuses to reply by simply turning his gaze


    away.


    “I will go tell the cook to prepare a feast!” Agatha says, trying to diffuse the tension. “The journey must


    have made you hungry! I can’t wait to hear everything about my grandchildren!” She’s almost at the


    door when Sebastian stops her.


    “No, Mom, there are things we need to discuss first.”


    She huffs, nting her hands on her hips. “And what, pray tell, do we need to discuss?”


    Sebastian sits down on the sofa opposite his father, spreading his arms across the back of the sofa, he


    rests his left ankle on his right knee as he looks between his parents, before settling on his father.


    I’m expecting him to say The Blood Borns, wondering if they’ll know anything, but what he says


    surprises me.


    “I want to know exactly what the issue between Hugh Toussaint and you is, and this time, you will not


    deny me the answers,” Sebastian says, his voice is cold and then I feel it; the wave of power that fills


    the room and I realise he’smanded his father to answer him.


    I look across at the older man, whose face is pale, but he looks absolutely angry at the insult.


    “So now you think you canmand me?” He


    – sneers.

    “Aran…” Agatha whispers, but the older man is not having it.


    NO! He needs to know his ce!”


    “Ara-”


    “Let him say what he wants to.” Sebastian says coldly.


    “Plea-”


    “I think I came at the wrong time.” A deep voice says making us all turn to the open door. A tall


    muscr man in a dark suit stands there, his dark hair flops over his forehead and his piercing eyes


    scream power and intelligence.
