In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO

Xander had never displayed much affection for either Tobias or Sheldon. Neither had he done much by way of his role as a father. In all of Tobias’ childhood memories, not a day went by without Xander and Claudia getting into one fight or another.

Claudia radiated an air of sophistication outwardly but resembled a demon at home. Xander’s temper only served to add oil to the hellfire.

Whenever Tobias meekly crept up to his parents and begged them to stop fighting, Xander would inevitably direct his rage towards him. Bellowing with tremendous fury, Xander had, on numerous occasions, lambasted Tobias with all sorts of abuse, saying that he was a bastard who should never even have been born.

Tobias had since thoroughly internalized this school of thought, often feeling that he didn’t deserve to live. People who had borne witness to Xander’s cruelty had often called him inhumane – even worse than an animal.

Before the filming again, no one knew that Harry would be featured on Battle of Stars until he showed up on set.
