Chapter Fifteen

Damien

Kaito and Aeron followed him into the drawing room that the king of California usually met him in, but for the first time, it was empty.

He studied the food on the buffet table and the two servants setting up fresh coffee as well as an array of alcohol.

This last-minute meeting had him on edge and Damien still hadn’t figured out if Reyes was going to chew him out for buying a company without consulting him first, or if it was something to do with his idiot brother.

He’d been so fucking pissed about Kira and then Lift that the thought to call Diablo hadn’t even occurred to him, and Damien sighed, wishing they could just get this over with. He’d give Reyes what he owed him and then leave.

They still had a lot of fucking work to do – like figuring out how the fuck Kira had found the apartment only Aeron and Kaito knew about, or why the shadow empire was hunting Lift drivers that had participated in the rape porn.

What the fuck were they trying to tell him with that message?

Kaito wandered around the room like he always did, eyes flitting around like he could see demons in the shadows. Aeron, on the other hand, stood behind Damien like the mountain he was.

No one was happy about being summoned, but Reyes was not someone they could say no to – especially if he wanted to keep his favor with Diablo.

“Damien, my boy, you look tired. Are you not sleeping well?” Reyes asked, entering the drawing room with two bodyguards behind him.

He didn’t recognize them, but the king would never let anyone he didn’t trust near him.

“It’s been a busy week,” he admitted, walking forward and kissing Diablo on each cheek. “What can I help you with, sir?”

“Have a seat and make yourself comfortable,” the king said, his dark eyes were dangerous and practically daring Damien to disobey despite the polite tone and warm words.

He took the armchair as usual and Aeron stood behind him, Kaito drifting closer but still sticking to the shadows. Even around the king, his assassin wore the mask over the lower half of his face.

The demon didn’t give a fuck about Diablo unless Damien ordered him to.

Resting his ankle over his knee, Damien propped his elbow on the arm of the chair and rested his chin on his fist, watching the old man who held his future in his hands.

Either Reyes would give him what he wanted, or Damien would take it from him. Things would be much easier if the king simply handed him his crown instead of having to rip it from him, so Damien played the good little soldier.

For now.

“I’ve been watching your progress with the challenge set by the Grimm family on the East Coast,” Diablo said, pulling out a box of cigars he had regularly shipped in from Colombia. “You’re doing very well. I’m proud of you.”

There was no way this was what he wanted to talk to him about, so Damien said nothing and waited.
