The scent of expensive Cuban cigars clung to him, filling the room like an invisible invasion. It was his mother’s scent. Eleanor’s. The mark of a messenger sent from the family's seat of power. “Ava, I need you to finalize the handover and move out as soon as possible.” He didn’t even look at me. His gaze rested on the wide Texas skyline beyond the window, as if he were admiring a view he had no claim to. His voice was calm, professionally detached, as if he were dismissing an ......
