Moving out was probably the easiest thing he'd done in ages. Ana was right. And he'd told her he'd sign whatever he needed to. His father had Cruz. He would be happy and maybe he'd disown Dorian.
And in those lost thoughts Dorian removed his assets for any account his father knew about. It wasn't hidden from Ana, but his father wasn't going to take what he'd given him already. It was his money now, it had been for some time. Jivana did not add to his riches. He had long since given all shares to Cruz. Along with the house in Madrid, and now this one.
A humble apartment - though it was hardly humble if he were to look at it through Nox's eyes. He knew that. And no matter how many times Dorian thought about his decisions he would not change a single one of them. His family came first - always. Ana and Christian were family - Cruz was his son. Nox was nothing but a man he hired, though he felt for the boy. But even the look on his face didn't mean anything in comparison to his family's life. It was worth the risk. He'd gambled on more without knowing and lost it all.
Dorian didn't think he'd ever get any of it back. How their loyalty had shifted to the boy so quickly was not something Dorian thought possible. He was just a kid. And he still needed that kid.
Nox refused to answer the texts. He'd received them, he was sure of that. But there was no answer. The final text lead him to tell Nox why he needed to talk to him. If anything the boy was Atharim to the core. He'd come now, and he'd answered.
So with Nox coming, Dorian met at a coffee shop just a few blocks from Domovoi, and he invited Ivan and Lih as well. Nox wouldn't work with him. But he might with these two. And he desperately needed Nox in the tunnels.
[[ @"Ivan Sarkozy" and @"Lih" - this is for when Lih gets back so Ivan can finish what he's doing and when Lih gets back we can move this along - no rush at all here - just setting up ]]
