Hellymoon with Lucifette, I found myself working even longer hours than usual. Not only did his absence rub in my face the fact I’d failed him, but it also kept me from catching up on the backlog of pussy I had waiting for me when I got back.
    When Finn turned eighteen and received his inheritance from our great-grandfather, we decided to go into business together. Bill Davis, a long-time family friend, had been building a new five-star hotel to add to his portfolio. About three-quarters of the way through, he ran into financial problems and looked to unload it as quickly as possible.
    Finn and I pooled our inheritances, which was enough to buy the land and partially-completed building at cost. Speed was more important to Bill than profit at the time. Using our new assets as collateral, we were able to get a business loan to cover the remaining expenses to finish the construction and get the place up and running.
    Turns out, Finn is a financial genius and I’m damned good at the operations side of the business. Between the two of us and the first-class leadership team we put together, we were profitable within the first year.
    We’d tried to get Sawyer to go into business with us, but he’d declined his inheritance, spewing some bullshit about being adopted and how being part of the family was more than enough and not wanting to take advantage of the people who had taken him in. Blah, blah, blah.
    You’d think with a spiel like that, he’d been adopted as a teenager rather than an infant. Although he’d been a part of the family since he was a week old, grew up alongside Finn and me, and sometimes I would have sworn he was our mother’s favorite, Sawyer still felt like he needed to prove himself worthy of being a Ramsay.
    Since Sawyer had opted out, the trust was split two ways instead of three. Finn and I agreed that made the hotel just as much Sawyer’s as it was ours. Even so, he still didn’t want to be part of our new family business. Instead, he followed in our mother’s footsteps and became a teacher.
    Late one evening, I sat in my office trying to figure out where I’d gone wrong with Finn. Even though I’d been preaching to both of my brothers from the Book of Thomas since the day I realized the whole love and romance thing was nothing more than an illusion designed to fuck men over, I’d lost one of them to the dark side.
    I couldn’t fail both of my brothers. I needed to keep Sawyer from being sucked in by an evil, gold-digging, manipulative, bitch like Kristy. Who, by the way, had not only made it abundantly clear she’d fuck Sawyer in a heartbeat since the day they’d met, she propositioned him shortly before she walked down the aisle to seal Finn’s fate. Sawyer seemed to be a believer of my gospel, but I couldn’t afford to ease up on him.
    Speak of the devil.
    “Hey, bro, I was just thinking about calling you.”
    “You are not going to fucking believe what happened.” Sawyer sounded like he didn’t believe it himself, but he seemed happy about whatever it was.
    “When I got off the plane after the wedding, I got a call from a woman claiming to be my sister.”
    “Um, we don’t have a sister, dumbass.”
    “We don’t, but I do. I met her this afternoon, and it’s for real. We have the same eyes, and I look so much like our mother. I have a family, Thomas!”
    “You’ve always had a family.” Did meeting someone with the same DNA completely erase his entire life as a Ramsay?
    “Shit, you know I didn’t mean it that way.”
    “Whatever,” I grumbled, still irritated with him. “She could be lying. Lots of people have blue eyes.” If he wanted it badly enough, he could find a familial resemblance between the two of us, and we look nothing alike. “I have blue eyes.”
    “This is different. They are exactly the same. I can’t believe I hadn’t noticed before. We’re going to have a DNA test to confirm.”
    “What do you mean ‘hadn’t noticed before’? Do you know
