Chapter 460 - Collateral

Nate had been the last one to join them, back when they were all just teenagers and none of them had learned yet what the rest of their lives would cost. Alex was the heir. Arianne came from money old enough to have its own weather. Julian's family sat one branch over from Arianne's, close enough to share holidays. Nate had none of that. He was Warren Jacobs's mistake, the fourth son nobody put on the family portrait, brought into the house at fifteen only because his mother had gotten sick enough that Warren's money became the only option left on the table.
