CHAPTER 32 Ruslan's Father

  A faint cough could be heard from the second floor. Everyone turned to look for the source of the sound. They watched as Darian descended the stairs clutching a cane.

  Lucie had only seen him once before. He was Axel's grandfather and Ruslan's father. He looked old but it was clear he was still a strong man.

  "Were all family here, why can't we just have one peaceful meal together? What's all the fuss about?"

  Darian stepped down with grace, he walked slowly to the bottom of the stairs and then took off with determination. As he passed Lucie, his cloudy but sharp eyes glanced over at her, she couldn't help but shiver.

  Darian sat down on the sofa, coughed twice to catch everyone's attention, and then spoke with a voice that was full of authority. "Why are you all standing? Are there no chairs for you to sit on in here?"

  His casual remark made everyone jump to attention and find a seat as fast as possible.
