“Don’t you put this on him!” Ruth interjected. “It’s all our debts that have been bleeding us dry! If only we’d get a little help, we wouldn’t have to struggle so.”

She turned to look at Lucas, who finally stood up.

“Elaine and I are no longer married.”

Silence.

Lucas met each of their gazes, the varying degrees of shock weren’t surprising. “The papers were approved by the Elder Council some time ago.”

“You…it’s already been approved…?” Ruth barely dared to breathe.

“Which means I have no further obligation to support you. Any of you. Whatever happened with Elaine, it

is between you and her. And your debts are your own as well. I’ll no longer be supplying you with funds you so clearly waste on other endeavors.”

Ruth completely faltered, her entire expression going flat. Matthew inched toward the door, feeling the

need to be very far away as he realized he’d been wasting the family funds….and they weren’t getting any

more.

Walter’s hands were clasped in front of him, but his knuckles whitened. It was the only sign of tension in

his body aside from a twitch in his eye.

“Lucas, if we could only–”

“Get out,” Lucas snapped.

Walter hesitated, then turned and left. Ruth scrambled after him and Kyle shut the door as the family left.

Lucas collapsed back into his seat with a sigh, rubbing the furrow away before his brow. “Make sure security knows not to let them in again.”

“Will do,” Kyle replied, stepping out.

Lucas ran his hand over his face before turning his chair to look out the window toward the circular drive. The family was piling back into their car while Kyle spoke with security near the steps.
