Chapter Eighteen

Valentino

I secured my house and drove away into the darkness with fire in my lungs. I’d kill Sean for what he’d done to my woman.

My woman?

But of course she was. She had been from the moment I’d seen her. I didn’t have to convince myself of that, but I sure as shit had to convince my boss.

With Bluetooth connected, I rang Ethan. Despite the ungodly hour, there was no more putting off the inevitable.

He picked up on the third ring.

“Val. What’s going on?”

“Boss, I need to tell you something.”

“It must be important at this time of night.”

“It is.”

A feminine, sleepy voice mumbled something in the background, and Ethan said something soothing back. My stomach twisted. What I’d do to have that same partnership with Chantilly. If Ethan and Sabrina were perfect together, I saw no reason I couldn’t have the same with the woman I’d left in my bed. After I took care of a few things.

“So what is it?” Ethan asked, returning to our conversation.

“Chantilly is still alive.”

“She is?” Ethan’s shock carried through the airwaves. Not that I blamed him, I’d never postponed carrying out a mission.

I cleared my throat, driving on autopilot through the darkness as my headlights picked out a route I knew like the back of my hand. “I have…feelings for her.”

Silence radiated out like an accusation before Ethan finally said, “Then you’ll have to find another way to send Sean a message.”

“I have something in mind,” I said candidly.

A beat passed, then two. “You’re going to kill him, aren’t you?”

I blew out a breath. “I am.”

We both knew I wasn’t asking permission.

“There will be repercussions,” Ethan finally said. “But I’ll stand with you on this one. If anyone hurt Sabrina I’d do the same.”

I blew out another long, slow breath. “I know you would, Boss.”

“Then it’s agreed. Oh, and Val.”

My shoulders tensed. “Yes.”

“Don’t fail me again.”

“I don’t intend to.”

We disconnected and I gave myself a minute to get myself together before I laid out plan A in my head. If that one failed, plan B would have to do as backup. I grimaced. I hoped I wouldn’t have to use the latter, it meant Sean’s death would be quick and far too painless.

I flicked on my indicator and cruised out onto the highway. If all went well, in less than an hour Sean would no longer have a heartbeat, and Tilly could relax knowing the target was off her back.

That Sean’s death could well start a gang war—if they worked out who killed him—wasn’t something I was ready to concede. I was a bull at the gates ready to explode into brutal action.

Vengeance was going to be sweet.
