The Great Godmother
After the territories merged, I, of the Gerald Family, became the undisputed Godmother of Eustona’s criminal underworld.
I took Xavier and returned to our family’s old fortress in North Atlantis. In the garden, Dad had built a small playground for him, with a carousel and swings.
Bit by bit, the smile on Xavier’s face returned. He started going back to school, making new friends, and slowly stepping out from the shadows of his past. However, he never mentioned the word “Papa” again.
