Jet lag, Alex kept telling himself. That was why he felt so damned irritable.

Besides, it was unreasonable for his father to have demanded a meeting now, but that was Aegeus’s way. What the king wished, others must do. And today, this very afternoon, what Aegeus wished was to meet with his three sons and discuss plans for the construction of another high-rise complex in Ellos.

There was no point to such a discussion.

For one thing, the construction was already underway. For another, Alex was in charge of the project. He had taken over development on Aristo more than eight years ago, with Aegeus’s grudging blessing.

“You might as well get some use out of that MBA of yours,” he’d said, which was as close as he’d ever come to acknowledging that his second son was now more qualified than he to oversee the kingdom’s booming economy.

This meeting was just a not so subtle reminder that Aegeus was still Aegeus, Alex thought as he sat at the conference table in the king’s palace office. As if any of them could ever forget that.

“…twenty stories, Alexandros, but why not thirty?”

Alex looked up from the doodles he’d been making on the yellow notepad before him. Aegeus’s eyes were focused on him. His younger brother, Andreas, seated beside him, nudged Alex’s foot with his under the table. His older brother, Sebastian, seated opposite, raised his eyebrows.

“Didn’t you say the architect agrees that twenty stories for the center building would be right, Alex?” he said smoothly.

“Yes,” Andreas chimed in, “twenty stories so that the view of the harbor would not be blocked from the condominium complex on the heights, right, Alex?”

“That’s correct,” Alex replied. Sebastian grinned. You owe us, big time, that grin said. Well, hell. That was how it had always been, the three brothers bailing each other out of hot water when their father turned a stern eye on any one of them.

Aegeus looked grim, but then he looked that way most of the time. He looked tired, too, Alex noticed, and thinner than usual.

“Are you feeling all right, Father?” he said.

The king’s eyes narrowed. “I’m feeling fine, thank you,” he said brusquely. “Fine enough to ask a few more questions—that is, if you can manage to keep your attention on our discussion a bit longer.”

Alex felt a muscle knot in his jaw. “What else do you want to know, Father?”

“Have you settled the woman in?”

“Excuse me?”

“The woman. Mary Santos. Is she settled in?”

“Her name is Maria,” Alex said carefully. “And I thought we were talking about the Ellos convention center.”

“We were. Now we’re talking about the person who’ll make your mother’s gift. What is she like?”

“She is, ah, she is talented.”

Talented, indeed.

“I assumed that,” his father said impatiently. “But what is she like? I am to meet her tonight, at dinner. Will she be able to carry on a conversation with some intelligence, or is she one of those leftover flower children who walks around barefoot?”

Sebastian coughed. Andreas cleared his throat. Alex shot them both looks that promised trouble when they were alone.
