“I told him we didn’t have your address. Shit, Brax, the guys around him were armed with big fucking guns.” I cringe when Dad curses, as he very rarely does. “I nearly told him.”
I don’t blame him. And wouldn’t have if he did.
“Did they hurt you?” I grind my teeth, waiting for his answer.
“They pushed inside the house and looked for you both. Mom was crying, but I pulled her behind me. I wasn’t going to let them hurt her.”
Dad would give his life to protect my mother.
“You did good, Dad. I’m sorry this happened.” I wipe my hand over my face.
“He said he’s the head of the mafia. Is that true?”
Goddamn you Dante.
“Yeah, Dad. Gianna is his sister.”
More silence.
“What have you got yourself into, son?” Dad asks, and I hate hearing the judgment in his voice. He knows I went undercover to find my cousin Amy and free her from the human trafficking ring keeping her. The one run by the Baldassare’s.
And that the FBI helped us.
That’s all.
He doesn’t know that Gianna was promised to Leo Baldoni and that by taking her, I’ve upset the balance of things within these families.
Too bad.
I’m not giving her back. She’s not a fucking piece of luggage.
She’s myalmostwife.
But these are my parents, and Dante has gone a step too far.
I need to get the Dark Kings together.
CHAPTER FOURTEEN
DANTE
––––––––
I lean my elbow on the door of the car and watch the houses go by as we drive away from the Ashford’s house. I recognized Braxton’s father immediately. He looks just like his son.
He’s a brave man.
I respected the way he protected his wife and kept his chin up. I shouldn’t give a fuck about these people or the man who has taken my sister.
I just need her back.
She needs to marry Leo and get Carlos off my back or it’s going to create an all-out war. Not something I want in my first one hundred days as boss.
The fact I took his daughter isn’t helping.
But Adelina is mine.
There is no going back after tasting her sweet orgasm on my lips last night. Next time, her mouth is going to be around my cock.
