Ace Storm stopped at the entrance of his parent’s room with furrowed brows, watching as his parents’ things were hauled away by the servant.

Zara Storm got off a call right at that moment.

Zara’s steel-blue gaze locked onto her eldest. "We’re still concerned about your brother. I need to see my son face to face and be sure he’s alright."

Ace’s face fell.
