Orion's eyes widened as he strained to look at Alexander. Alexander sat there, all smug, like a king judging a peasant. "But you," Alexander sneered, "you won't get off so easy." Orion's face twisted. "Why are you so messed up?" Alexander just shrugged. "Guess you don't knowwell enough, Mr. William. I can get a lot worse. Don't get that divorce, and you'll see."

Alexander leaned in. "You're smart. You know once you're dead, it's gover." Orion looked down, silent, thinking, 'If I die, being Quinn's husband means nothing. I've pushed Alexander too far. If I keep this up, he's done playing.' Alexander smirked. "Made up your mind yet, Mr. William?" Orion opened his mouth, wanting to give in, but couldn't.

"Guess your feelings aren't that deep," Alexander scoffed.
Orion didn't argue, lying there like a rag doll. He'd never admitted defeat, not even to his father. The humiliation and anger almost crushed him. Alexander ignored him, walking away. "See you at City Hall at nine the day after tomorrow." Sean let go of Orion, who just lay there, lifeless.

After a while, he sat up, looking defeated. "Does Alexander really have The the guts"
Sean looked at him coldly. "Haven't you figured it out? Be glad you have a powerful dad and brother, or you'd be dog food by now."
Orion frowned. Whenever someone mentioned his family, he annoyed wom Without them, he was nothing. And deep down, he knew it was true.
