Vicious

The very same Vales who had budgeted just enough time in their busy schedules—even back before they were best-selling “empowerment gurus”—to produce Victor. Even better, as if he had found God and wanted to keep it a secret but couldn’t.

When they reached the door to the bar, it resisted Dominic’s pull before finally—slowly—giving way.
