Liam Valerius left Master Valerius's study, his expression sour. Standing at the mansion entrance, he happened to see Damien Valerius's car slowly pulling away from the estate.
"That boy used to be scrawny as a little chick, but who would have thought he'd turn out so charismatic? He completely outshines the rest of you brothers."
A woman's sultry voice came from behind him. Liam Valerius turned to see Nancy Nash in a low-cut dress.
A white shawl was draped over Nancy Nash's shoulders. She had swept her long, dark, wavy hair over to her left shoulder, and her arms were crossed over her chest. On the ring finger of her left hand, she wore a diamond ring the size of a pigeon's egg.
She was none other than the current wife of Master Valerius, and the birth mother of the family's youngest son, Dylan Valerius.
At thirty, Nancy Nash successfully seduced Master Valerius, a man twenty years her senior, and at thirty-two, she gave birth to his late-in-life son, Dylan Valerius.
