Chapter 45 Steven

• That afternoon, Romeo Manor was as quiet as a tomb. The fallout between father and son had shocked the family, but the sudden news of Maya Stone and Ben's wedding on Saturday took everyone by surprise.
• Ben was taken aback at first but quickly felt a surge of anger. He understood that saying anything would only fuel the already heated argument with his dad.
• His mom, Mrs. Romeo, was more fragile than anyone realized. She was emotional, and when Ben saw her tears, his anger faded as he tried to reason with himself.
