Xander's POV
I took the stairs two at a time, making sure not to miss my step or anything. I wasn't exactly in a hurry but I would rather get to the dining before her. She had barely arrived and yet she was already giving ultimatums? I could already feel a storm brewing. Don't get me wrong, I loved my mother, but if there was something I didn't love, it was her overbearing attitude.
She had barely settled down, and the entire mansion was already getting lit up by her little tantrums. It would only be a matter of time before it would blow up into literal flames. Hopefully, this time would be different and she would tone down on her attitude and tactics.
I knew how she could be. Especially to Kieran.
My mind wandered back to when my mother arrived. Kieran had been so surprised. It was obvious nobody told her my mother was coming but it couldn't have been me. We weren't exactly on talking terms and I had thought Sabrina would have done that.
