Sit."Jason hesitated, then took the chair opposite, his tablet on his knee."Andrew will panic. He is a doctor, not a fighter. He will need every ally he has." Caspian's voice dropped. "And he has one ally that nobody knows about. A son he kept in the shadows. A son who adores him, who has spent years planning to take over for him. A son who will not sit quietly while his father loses the company. He loves his father more than he loves his own safety. I heard it in his voice."Jason's eyes widened."Orion will have to step out of the dark," Caspian

The officer warned and Atlas was going to pull out his phone and call the Police chief when Caspian pressed his hand down. “I can't let you go with them, you're way above that.” “Way above the law or he's just being a coward?” Graycie played her stunt. “You're still talking?” Atlas was heading towards her but Caspian dashed him a cold stare."Don't."Atlas frowned. "Sir?""Don't make this worse." He said coldly. But Atlas wasn't buying this. He quickly stepped outside. “Who are you going to call? There's no need.” Graycie was already being led away.
