Chapter Sixteen

Enzo

“Where are we with Rozano?” My father asks as I sit in the chair across from him.

“No closer than before. Why?” I can tell something is wearing on him and I have to find out what.

“There’s been somethings happening that I didn’t bring up with you.”

“What things?” I lean forward, resting my elbows on my knees as I listen.

“The ports in California were bombed,” he says not looking at me.

“Excuse me? What do you mean they were bombed?” I rise to my feet knowing that this is a situation that requires our attention. Not one to be swept under the rug by him.

“Just as I said! They were bombed. You will need to go and see what’s happening,” he says waving his hand through the air as if to dismiss me.

“And why aren’t you going?” That grabs his attention. His eyes come to meet mine and I want to lose control. I want to pull my gun and kill him on the spot but I can’t.

“Someone has to run this family, Lorenzo!” Nodding my head, I keep my anger and frustration at bay.

“Fine. I’ll go,” I tell him. Turning on my heel, I leave his office and step into the hallway where Switch and Hugo are waiting. “We’re going to California. We’ll need accommodations for four.”

“Four?” Switch asks.

“Yes, I’d like it if you would come along on this one. The man we’re dealing with is slippery. He knows his in’s and out’s.”

“That still leaves one extra,” Hugo adds.

“I’m taking Tessa as well. I can’t trust her alone.”

“And Valentino?” Switch asks.

“He will busy. I’m having some tests ran on him. There’s something about him,” I say cutting myself off as we climb into the SUV.

“The fact he looks like he belongs in your family somewhere?” Switch asks with a chuckle.

“That’s exactly it.”

“You have cousins, yeah?” I nod my head.

“I do. They are distant but all accounted for. One wouldn’t have been dumped on the streets the way he was. I want to figure out who the hell he is.”

“And you trust him to follow the rules while we’re gone?” Hugo asks. I chuckle.

“Not at all. Preacher will be there as well as our other men. I’ll make sure he stays shackled if that’s what needs to be done.”

The ride back to the house is silent. I have a million things running through my mind right now. The fact that I’m taking Tessa sits front and center. I shouldn’t take her out of that house but I don’t trust her. I know what she’s capable of and I refuse to have her escape while I’m away.

As soon as we pull up to the house, I see why my decision was for the best. Marco, one of my men has a fighting Tessa in his arms. I step out of the car and shake my head with a smirk on my face.

“You got your hands full with that one,” Switch mutters.

“Indeed.” I walk toward them and when she spots me, she stops fighting.
