Chapter Eight
Klaus picked up a spent casing and examined the crimped end. âAnother blank.â
âWhy would they fire blanks at you?â asked Renzo.
He shrugged.
That assassination team had been well-trained. They rushed the house, took out his men, and would have killed his wife if he hadnât gotten to the bedroom in time. He didnât even have time to think. He just pulled the trigger.
Klaus had taken them all out, one by one, but theyâd had plenty of opportunities to shoot him. He wasnât bullet-proof. Theyâd distracted him, toyed with him as he hunted them around the main floor. It was his wife they were after.
Isabella was still asleep in the guest bedroom. Last night had taken a lot out of her. That asshole had come too close to ending her life.
The cleaning crew began filing out of his home, dragging their supplies with them in rolling buckets. âItâs as good as new, Klaus. You can eat off that floor.â
At least theyâd be able to sleep in their own bedroom tonight. His crew was the best money could buy. Crime scenes were their specialty.
âThey wanted Isabella dead,â said Renzo. âYou know what this means.â
Yes, he fucking knew the hit had been on his wife, not him. His informant said the contract was for an Accardi, and Klaus had assumed Isabellaâs father wanted him dead. Heâd disrespected the man, gave him a quick beat down. It didnât make sense for him to snuff out his own daughter.
âIâve known since last night. They were trying to distract me. She was their target all along. I came way too close to losing her.â
âPretty cold to put a hit on your only daughter.â
âThat piece of shit canât call himself a father.â Klaus paced the living room. âHeâs going to pay for this.â
His security had been breached, three of his guards assassinated. It was important for him to provide a home for Isabella. A safe haven. It had been way too easy for his enemies to get through his front doors. Heâd make sure to have a fucking arsenal in his bedroom and heâd beef up his security. But that wasnât the answer. Unless he ended Carmello Lastra, Isabella would never be safe. Theyâd never be able to have the simple life they both craved.
âShould I get Father to order a hit?â asked Renzo.
âI donât want him involved. This is my problem, not his.â
âLet me do it.â
He chuckled, clapping his younger brother on the shoulder. âNice sentiment, but not going to happen.â
âIâve been training my whole life. How many men can claim to be a better shot than I am?â asked Renzo.
âMe. If anyoneâs going to put that fucker in the ground, itâs going to be me.â
âIsabella wonât hold that against you?â
He exhaled and walked to the kitchen. âThe man tried to kill her. If she has any love left for him, Iâll have to get her therapy.â Klaus poured them both a coffee, then sat on a stool at the large island. The morning sun sent rays across the granite.
