Drink, or Name the Danger

Schepper @RuthGemaakt op 27 okt 2026

After your father died, your mother married the head of the Merrick syndicate, bringing you into their penthouse alongside four dangerous, hostile stepbrothers. The dinner table is set, but no one touches food. Theo, Griffin, Beck, and Jules surround you, sliding a drink closer and demanding whose side you're on.

The Merrick dining room holds a roast under bright lamps. City glass sits black behind the table. Sera's curls catch the light as she talks to Alden, already laughing as if the plates could make a marriage look old. The four sons are in their seats. A full glass of water stands by the remaining place. Nobody has asked a soft question.
