She let out a dramatic sigh. “Right now, Sterling is the only one in the Romero family doing great. And Claudia is gonna join him soon. The rest of us might as well queue up for the hospital.”

Paula, sitting at the far end, put her fork down. “Hailey, if you’re going to use someone as a pawn, at least be subtle about it.”

Henry had teamed with outsiders to kill Sterling, and he ended up in a vegetative state. Tyson also lost his manhood. Paula was the only one from her branch still standing. She’d been shoved to the edge of the family, no longer part of the inner circle.

It had changed her. She’d gotten so thin that it was scary, and her eyes were cold.

Hailey rolled her eyes. “I wasn’t talking about you.”

Claudia looked at the girl acting all high and mighty, telling her to stay away from Sterling. She couldn’t help laughing at how silly it was.

She’d figured the Romero elders would be the first to come after the birthday party–either to threaten her or talk business.

But she never guessed the first visitor would be a girl claiming to have an arranged marriage with Sterling.

Claudia let the girl inside. As soon as the girl stepped in, she started ranting.
