grinned as he continued to eat. Heaven finished before Julian and poured herself another cup of coffee. Julian’s phone rang just as she started to pour his coffee.
     
    “Julian, can you come down?” they heard Royce’s voice over the speaker.
     
    “No way, we just started,” Heaven objected.
     
    “Ian is at the gate demanding to speak with you,” Royce’s voice filtered back in into the room.
     
    Both Julian and Heaven stopped what they were doing and looked at each other in surprise.
     
    “Ian?” Heaven gasped.
     
    “Fuck Ian,” Julian moaned.
     
    “He said it’s an emergency, something about Uncle Ayden.”
     
    “Ayden? Is everything is all right?” Heaven asked. She knew it must be serious if Ian was willing to come to Julian’s house.
     
    “I’ll be right back,” Julian murmured as he headed towards the door.
     
    “I want to come with you.”
     
    “No, you stay right here,” Julian demanded before he left the room.
     
    Julian stormed down the stairs, out the front door and straight to the main gate.
     
    “Thank god, I didn’t think you would come to see me,” were the first words out of Ian’s mouth.
     
    “What are you doing here?” Julian asked his brother.
     
    “Can I come in?” he asked and Julian finally opened the door.
     
    “I don’t have time for your shit today, Ian. What do you want?”
     
    “Have you talked to Dad?”
     
    “No.”
     
    “He was just released from the hospital—Julia shot him twice,” Ian informed him.
     
    “Is he all right?” Julian was taken aback by the news.
     
    “He’s fine now. He lost a lot of blood, gained a few stitches and a couple bullet holes. Then again, we all have scars from that woman—some worse than others,” Ian said with anger. Ian was done with his mother. The woman had not batted an eye when she found out that Julian had almost been killed. Then to make matters worse, she attacked Ayden. The woman had no heart, and Ian was finally seeing the truth about his mother.
     
    Julian looked at him strangely; he wasn’t sure how to react. Ian never spoke badly of their mother, so Julian was wary.“What provoked her this time?” Julian asked.
     
    “The news of her husband’s other son.”
     
    “I’m surprised she didn’t kill him.”
     
    “Trust me, she tried. Thank god she’s always been such a bad shot,” Ian replied.
     
    “Where is he?”
     
    “He’s staying between the office and a hotel. He moved out of the house and filed for divorce. The doctors want him to take some time off from work, but he won’t. You know how he is,” he finished,and the two brothers silently stared at each other for a few moments.
     
    “Was there anything else?” Julian asked.
     
    “Yes, that’s not all.” Ian shook his head and then hesitated for a moment.
     
    “Well?” Julian could tell that he wanted to say something.
     
    “Nothing,” Ian said before he abruptly turned around and left.
     
    Julian shook his head and turned back towards the house. He wasn’t sure how to take his brother’s unusual behavior.
     
    “What the hell did he want?” Julius asked Julian as he walked near them.
     
    “Julia shot Ayden.”
     
    “Damn! Is he all right?” Royce and Julius both jumped up, ready to go see their uncle.
     
    “Ian said he’s fine,” Julian answered.
     
    Royce exhaled loudly. “I knew it was just a matter of time before she tried to kill him.”
     
    “I thought she was going to kill him that last time,” Julius added.
     
    Royce shook his head. “She came close.”
     
    “I’m convinced that woman is thirteen percent demon.” Julius said.
     
    “I’m going to call him to make sure he’s all right,” Royce said as he stepped to the side.
     
    “I’ll be back down; I need to tell Heaven what’s going on,” Julian told his cousin.
     
    “Take your time, we got this,” Julius yelled to Julian.
     
    Julian raced up to the room and threw open the door. He slammed it hard behind him
