The Stubborn Brothers

"Go talk to him" Hera nudged Carl who just looked at her like she had lost it. Was he not aware of the tension in the house or was she blind? Maybe she didn't pay any attention to the state of affairs between the brothers, but what if?

So much time had passed and if they were to keep going like this, it was risky and they could have hurt themselves even more.

Hera had a lot of things on her mind, especially for the people of Alexei, but she needed the brothers talking. She knew she couldn't bring back the ever-so-happy Carl they all had gotten used to.

This was the price of the truth, and the death of Zarinah, the mother he never had the chance to know. He had grown distant too but not like his brother.

Angelo had completely shut everyone out. Their talks were purely business, and he was like a robot, except for when he was with his mate.
