"Damn!" Silas muttered through gritted teeth, punching the air as he paced in his

study. Pain coursed through him and so did disappointment

He should have known Thomas wasn't coming for dinner. His brother had changed lately and it hurt.

Yet, Silas didn't want to give up. He had made that promise, and he intended to keep it, so he dialed Thomas's line again.

The phone rang but still, no response.

Silas exhaled, the realization hitting him harder than he had expected as he perched on the edge of his table.

He had always known their lives would change after everything Rosie did, but not like this-not with lies and disappearances.

He knew he was supposed to be mad at Thomas, but he couldn't. That was his

big brother, the one who had always done everything for him. He had to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Succumbing to the feeling, he dialed Thomas again, but when it was still unanswered, he called Wade.

"Hey, Silas. How are you?" Wade answered.

"Good. Have you heard from Thomas recently?"

"We spoke earlier, but that was it. Why?" Wade asked, curiosity creeping into his tone.

"Nothing major," Silas replied, trying not to sound too concerned. "He was supposed to come for dinner, but he hasn't shown up."

"He's probably just busy. Don't worry, I'll call him and let you know."

Silas sighed in relief. "Thanks, Wade." Then he told him about the phone number.

"Oh, that's excellent!" Wade exclaimed. "I'll call the detective right away. They'll proceed with everything."

"Alright then. Take care," Silas said and ended the call.

He sighed again, hoping Wade could get through to Thomas somehow. Adjusting his shirt, he stepped out of the study.

Just as he walked down the hall, he saw Bailey.

"Hey, Bai."

But she wasn't smiling like earlier, Her brows were drawn and her expression tight.

"Are you good?" he asked.

"We need to talk," Bailey said, her frown deepened. "Somewhere private. Now." The urgency in her tone startled him slightly, but he nodded and led her into the study. He gestured toward a chair, but she didn't sit. Instead she folded her arms, her eyes sharp.

"What do you know about Mateo Castro?" she demanded.

He blinked. "Mateo who?"

Bailey dropped her arms and pointed a finger at him. "Don't give me that shit! Who is he to you? And why the hell was your mother's account used recently."

Silas raised a hand. "Whoa, slow down! What account? What are you talking about?"
