The Cross My Heart Duet

    I've been putting out fires since I returned home. When I took over for my father, everything was a mess. Getting the books in order and restoring confidence within our organization was a massive undertaking, but in the past two years, the Scutari family has grown stronger, and our businesses are once again thriving.


    I am sitting in my office in the estate I took over from my father last year. He is still wheelchair-bound, and I found him a handicap-accessible condo in a fancy building across town and employed a full staff that takes exceptional care of him. My grandparents have stayed on here, and Adriana moved in about six months ago when the engagement was announced. Since then, the manor has been a whirl of activity, as she has redecorated every single room, one by one. It has cost me a fortune, and the mess has been irritating, but it keeps my new fiancŽe distracted, so it's worth the trouble.
