"Cece," Silas Norwood said softly. "I'll stay here with Kade and keep an eye on things. There won't be any problems. You go back to the room and wait for me."
"It's one thing for you to protect me in other matters, Brother, but when it comes to... him, it's our business, yours and mine. There's no reason for me to stay out of it." Celia looked at Kade. "Brother, let me come too. I want to see just how disgusting he can be after all these years, how he plans to torment us."
Kade remained unmoved. "Listen to me, Cece."
