Back at the manor, the family was sitting down in their living room with Valerie on Abaddon's lap.
It had become a bit of a tradition that the wife who had the most important things to say would get to claim the coveted seat during family meetings.
Valerie took a deep breath as she finally released the words that had been weighing on her mind for a while.
"It's about our deal... I want to cancel it."
Abaddon immediately became alarmed. "My love, I know we have been busy, but I assure you I still intend to-"
"I know. It's not about you." Valerie said as she lovingly played with his hair.
"Can someone fill us in? What deal?" Audrina asked for the group.
"Well... Before I became apart of the family, I was just an outsider traveling with everyone from Antares. Back then husband had accepted my request for a favor, and I was coming along to watch it all play out."
