Morning at Eric's house.
Aiden walked in with a cup of tea and raised an eyebrow while seeing Eric so happy. "What's with the glow? Something good happen?"
Eric nodded, a grin tugging at his lips. "You could say that.
Aiden, put your plans on hold—we're going out tonight."
"Where to?"
"X Club," Eric said, holding up a card he'd taken from Abaddon's wallet the night before.
Aiden frowned. "Isn't that a fight club? Why are we going there?"
Eric clapped him on the shoulder. "You'll get all your answers when we arrive. Just be patient."
Meanwhile, at Lia's Home
After a few days of hardship, Lia [Evan] had finally begun to adapt to her new environment. Many things mirrored her past life—being from a middle-class family, having only one parent—but this time, there was something different.
This home was warm. Cozy. And the biggest difference of all? A loving father. Something she never had before.
