Keith's POV
We were in a small visiting room. My brothers, Kieran and Kayden, were with me. So were Damien and Alfred. They looked worried.
We'd been stuck in this facility for three days.
Damien was talking. "You and your brother's absence is hurting the company, Keith. The stock is falling fast. People are asking questions."
I didn't like it. "Why haven't you gotten us out?"
Damien sighed. "It's not simple. The government won't go against Vera Valerius. Her family has that much influence."
It made me angry. Helpless.
When they first let me see my brothers, I was relieved they were okay. We talked. Vera offered them the same deal she offered me. Tell her our secret, and she'd help break our curse. None of us agreed. We're not telling a stranger our deepest shame. Our pride wouldn't allow it.
Alfred was sitting quietly in the corner. He placed a nylon bag on the table. "I brought you real food. I know the one they serve isn't up to your standard at all."
