Chapter 12

I am really starting to dislike your brother.

***Andy***

I grab my brother’s arm and pull him to the side. Afon is talking to Ford and Tarzan so it’s a good moment to ask if he’s doing what I think he’s doing. “You’re not going through with what Fausto suggested, are you?”

His gaze hardens and he pulls away from my grip. “This doesn’t concern you anymore, sis.”

This doesn’t…my eyes narrow while my blood boils. “That was your plan all along, right? Run Buca Di Volpe all on your own without me butting in. Shove out the pesky woman so you can run it with the hard hand like our father used to do.”

Ricca’s upper lip twitches. “Afon,” Ricca snaps loud enough to draw everyone’s attention. “Explain why we both signed the contract.”

Afon’s hands fist at his sides and I know very well he’s got dual emotions. Though it was an asshole alpha move, Afon’s motivation was based on the connection we had the first time we met. I didn’t even know what it was back then, but I also was very aware he made my body spark with something I never felt before. But the all business, lay it out because she needs the finer details, is a dick move that only my asshole brother can pull off.

“No. That’s not necessary because I know all of Afon’s motivation. Except…his bottom line warms my heart but yours, brother…yours makes my blood run cold.” I step away and come to a stand next to Afon.

Who instinctively wraps his arm around my waist to pull me closer. The fact that he doesn’t utter one single word also tells me he has my back. And it’s then I also realize that there’s no other man that could be more perfect. He doesn’t fight my battles, nor does he let me fight them alone. He’s right there next to me.

Ricca’s phone beeps with an incoming message. He glances down and gives me a smirk. “Too late now, sis.”

“You fucking asshole. I hate you,” I seethe.

“What the fuck is going on?” Tarzan snaps.

I point my finger in the direction of my asshole brother. “That fucker just took Chiara, Esposito’s daughter, hostage.”

“You did what?” Tarzan’s voice makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end.

“It’s nothing. Chiara won’t be touched. Fausto, Arminio, and Ernesto know how to follow orders.” He connects his gaze with mine. “They’re aware. Have a little trust, sis.”

“Have a little…you fucking asshole.” Afon’s fingers tighten, pulling me closer against him.

“Enough.” The single word bounces off the walls, making everyone snap their head toward Ford.

“Like I said, together we’ll end that shit. This clearly took place before we had our little talk, so we’ll handle it. I’m sorry to say that now that it’s done we can’t let her go.” Ford holds out his hand toward his wife who’s clearly ready to throw around some words. “Not done, you’ll have your say in a bit. Now, as I said, we can’t let her go because Esposito will retaliate anyway, yet now we still have leverage.
