“So that was her final wish?” Maximus asked, surprised.

“Yes. That’s exactly why I’m here and not at the movies looking for your son.” Pierre’s words made it clear–he knew Paul’s every move.

“I’ve made my peace with the fact that my son doesn’t share my blood. That doesn’t matter to me. He will always be my son. But him–he’s young. He doesn’t deserve this,” Maximus said, his anger rising as he shifted in his seat, ready to leave.

“Maximus, I suggest you sit down so we can come to an agreement. Because if we don’t, you and I both know I’ll go to him myself,” Pierre warned.

Maximus had no choice. He knew Pierre was powerful–more powerful than he was. If he wanted to, Pierre could take action. If he wanted to, he could take Paul. If he so much as told Paul the truth, the life his son knew would be completely shattered.
