Chapter 24

The Decision

Kazimir

Minutes later, I found myself in my office with Tisha. He was dressed in a designer suit. Its tailored fit accentuated his strong physique as he towered over my desk.

Today, his black hair flowed around his face, giving him a more relaxed appearance.

That striking red rose tattoo adorned his neck, its petals seemingly in full bloom, while his mother’s name elegantly flowed along the stem in delicate script.

Wassily stood by the door. His posture was alert and attentive. Since Italy, he had been on point and truly proving himself to be a good pick.

Meanwhile, David remained by the wall with his eyes focused on my cousin, observing him carefully.

Tisha will be a hard sale for David. Let us see if my cousin can convince David of his loyalty.

Tisha’s intense blue gaze settled on me.

I could feel the weight of his attention. There was a certain determination in his eyes. Tisha was the sort of man that did not like to hear the word no. While he would not harm David in front of me, if David said no, Tisha would find a way to do something.

Tisha leaned his head to the side. “Have you made your decision about my coming to New Orleans?”

“I have not.”

Tisha widened his eyes. “Why not, Kazimir?”

I looked at David. “What are your thoughts?”

Tisha snorted. “Will this king be the person who gives the final decision?”

“I hold David’s opinion highly.”

Tisha sneered. “What is a David? How long have you known this man?”

I gestured to the chair near him. “Sit.”

David continued to study him. “Tisha, why do you think that you should go with the Lion?”

Still sneering, Tisha lowered into the chair and kept his view on me. “I have known Kazimir all my life and protected him many times.”

David didn’t appear impressed. “I could go out in that hallway, pull six random men in here, and they would be able to say the same thing. Once the Lion took the throne and was able to eat, all of his siblings, cousins, and friends feasted too.”

Tisha slowly turned and glared at David. “I am not like them. I have always been loyal to Kazimir. I am from the time when Kazimir and I were rummaging through trash cans to find food. I was loyal then, and will continue to be loyal.”

I should have cared about this conversation. If Tisha were truly loyal, he would be a powerful force in New Orleans. If Tisha was a hidden enemy, then more problems could arise.

Yet, my mind kept drifting to thoughts of my mouse. Her choice to sleep in the cell couldn’t have been an easy one, and I couldn’t help but worry about her wellbeing.

As Tisha spoke, his words faded into the background, overshadowed by my concern for my mouse. I couldn’t shake the image of her, alone and vulnerable in that cell.

And Lunita. . .she came out. . .

I had not told her yet, but I would need to soon.

Mysh. . .

I longed to see her face, to know that she was safe and protected.
