The second time Bruno bumped into Stephen was three years ago. They had

attended the same banquet then.

His father had brought him to network with other business elites in order to

expand their business. At the time, Stephen had been surrounded by people.

Everyone seemed to orbit around him.

It was so crowded that several failed to squeeze past the throng to introduce

themselves to Stephen.

His father had used the opportunity to warn him. He had stated plainly that Bruno

could fool around as he wished, but he was not to mess with Rivertown's prince.

His father had also added that Bruno would be removed from the family if he ever

dared to offend Stephen.

The Tatums would announce to all that Bruno was no Tatum to prevent the family

from falling into disgrace because of Bruno's actions.

Bruno knew that his father wasn't merely joking or trying to scare him into

submission.

After all, he was only third in line and had two older brothers vying for the

inheritance.

It didn't end there.

Oh, no. His father also had three mistresses warming his bed, two of whom had

borne him children. Therefore, Bruno also had a half-brother and a half-sister to

contend with.
