Chapter 18 - THE NEW BELLANDI Months passed.
The mansion changed.
The game room was rebuilt.
But Jackson refused to recreate it exactly.
The shattered glass table was gone.
The poker table was gone.
In their place stood a low wooden table covered with toy cars, crayons and a half-built train set.

Family access privileges were eliminated.
