But if you’re willing to sacrifice our alliance over that, then perhaps you never were strong enough to lead alongside my daughter in the first place. I’m not worried.

You should know by now that I am not a man to sit dormant before I’ve gotten everything I want, and as long as you stand between me and what I want, you are an obstacle. I spare no mercy for obstacles, Gavin.”
Sweat dragged down my brow.
