Empire of Ash — Julian Romano's Arrival

She's no longer family. She looked me up and down. Or is she one of your people? No wonder she dares ignore me. The surrounding people started blaming Vivian. Vivian, that's not right, is it? worked with you for years i asked you to find my son a position and you refused now you're sneaking in your own people how dare you do this under mr romano's nose exactly good thing mrs clara saw

right through her that slap just now felt amazing vivian went pale and looked at me what slap have you all lost your minds how could you hit her do you know she is i raised a hand to stop her not Not yet. I wasn't ready to reveal who I was. I wanted to see just how far Clara would go.

And I wanted to know who still belonged in this family, and who didn't. What is she? Your sister? Or your daughter? I don't care who she is. Handle her now! Right then, the conference room doors opened.

Julian Romano's meeting had ended. Through the crowd, I saw him step out, his face tight with tension. Clara, what's wrong? I could hear you from inside. Who's got the guts to upset my little princess?

Mr. Romano, just some rookie that doesn't know her place. He broke the rules, then threatened me. Who's got the guts to threaten you in my house? Then he saw my face, his entire body locked.
