Ryan's POV
Ryan Terrell was not the type of person who ran away from his problems. He was the kind of guy who faced things head on. No matter what came his way, he never, ever, backed down. He always kept moving forward.
Many of his business rivals could attest to that. But as much as Ryan would have loved to lean into that description wholeheartedly, he could not. For years now Ryan had been running away. And the person that he had been running from was somebody that he cared about a great deal.
His grandfather, Langston Terrell.
It had never been Ryan's intention to go so long barely ever talking to the old man. When he had first found out about Brian and Gwendolyn, he had been livid, understandably so. But before things could come out in the open, Brian had gone and died, leaving the old man down one grandson and Ryan without a brother.
