“What’s the emergency?” Stavros strode into his uncle’s office without knocking. “I need to—” He stopped short at the sight that greeted him.

His uncle sat at his desk, flanked on either side by two men with guns pointed at his temple. Before Stavros could do more than blink, a weapon was pressed to his side.

“Fuck.”

He glanced to his left and cursed again. This time silently.

Felipe Guzmán stood with his hands in his pockets. Felipe, the leader of The Ghost Gang. Daniel Nieto’s rival.

And brother-in-law.

“Mr. Konstantinou, welcome.” That name didn’t send Stavros’ pulse into overdrive like it did when Daniel used it. “We have business to discuss.”

“Do we?” Stavros held his gaze. “Get your men away from my uncle.”

Felipe smiled, looking like the boy next door with that round face and those fat cheeks. He was a few inches shorter than Stavros, made all the more clear when he strode over and stood directly in front of Stavros. “I think not.”

Stavros sighed. He wasn’t up to doing this right now. He didn’t get any sleep the night before, and he spent the entire plane ride figuring out a way to reclaim his sanity. He wasn’t up for ten rounds with this crazy fucker right now. Still, he shrugged as one of Felipe’s men patted him down, taking away his weapon and phone, and tossing them aside.

“What business do we have?” As if he didn’t know, right?

“You killed mi hermana.”

“Did I?”

Felipe cocked his head. “You did.” Hands in his pockets, he regarded Stavros closely. “I’m owed a debt, Mr. Konstantinou, but I’m willing to let it go.”

Sure. “What do you want?”

A wide smile creased Felipe’s face, but never made it to his cold eyes. “Nothing too difficult. I simply want you to finish what you started.”

“Meaning what?”

“Daniel Nieto has resurfaced from whatever hole he’d crawled into.” Hate practically dripped from every word Felipe spoke. “You were to finish him off that night you took my sister away.” His eyes glinted. “Kill him now.”

“I don’t work for you,” Stavros told him. “If Nieto has resurfaced, I’ll deal with him in my own way. In my own time.”

Felipe chuckled. “You mistake me, Mr. Konstantinou.” He shuffled closer, hands still his pockets. “You kill for profit, is that not what you do? Is that not the reason mi mamá is without her firstborn daughter right now? I could take revenge into my own hands, but I’m giving you a chance to fix what you broke. To set right everything you did wrong.” His voice didn’t go higher, but Stavros recognized danger when he saw it. “Despite money not changing hands, this is in every way a business transaction. You take care of my brother-in-law, and I don’t lay waste to you and your tío over there.” He nodded in Christophe’s direction.

Stavros barely refrained from rolling his eyes. He removed a cigarette and lighter from his jacket pocket without taking his eyes off Felipe. He’d been threatened by men way deadlier than Felipe Guzmán, and lived to tell the tale.
