Promise of mercy

Hector just sighed and looked at his wife, who was also looking at him.

Her gaze suggested that they should leave Victor alone for now, as he was the one most affected by what happened.

Hector sat down heavily, the weight of the situation pressing on him, so he just decided to remain silent.

Just then, the door suddenly opened, drawing everyone's attention.

"Sir, pardon my sudden entrance, but the head of the family wants to speak with Sir Victor," said the man who was the head of security.

Everyone turned to Victor, who looked surprised. He hadn't expected to be the first one the head wanted to speak with.

With a cold expression, Victor stood up and followed the man out of the room.

As the door closed behind them, Hector and Megan exchanged worried glances. They both desperately wanted to know what their mother had to say, but it wasn't them she wanted to talk to.
