[Reid Mansion]
The air was thick with tension by the time Alexander dragged Jack through the mansion's front doors.
Jack stumbled, still half-drunk in anger and humiliation.
Alexander didn't say a single word. His grip was firm, controlled and cold like he wasn't touching a brother but a problem that needed removal.
"LET GO OF ME—" Jack snapped, yanking his arm free the moment they crossed the threshold.
Alexander didn't turn. "Move," he ordered.
Jack scoffed but followed, still fuming and muttering curses under his breath.
Just then, Benjamin appeared at the top of the stairs. He was fuming.
His expression turned darker the moment he saw Jack.
"What—" he said slowly with a dangerously calm voice, "did you do?"
Jack opened his mouth but Benjamin descended the stairs with sharp echoing footsteps.
Alexander didn't move. Instead, he stepped away. He had no intentions of coming in between them
Benjamin reached Jack and SLAPPED him across the face.
