It’s been four weeks since we’ve seen Magnolia. Four fucking weeks and it feels like a damn year has gone by.

High beams bounce off the first-floor windows. Every Sinn enforcer makes a wide berth when I shove our SUV into park and usher Oliver into the safe house. Tucked into the crook of his arms is a small bundle. He whispers soothing words to the toddler.

Rune brings up the rear.

“Mr. Sinn.” A seasoned guard who worked under the Sinn family back when my father held the reins waits for my orders by the front door.

I take two steps and stop in front of him while Oliver and Rune go ahead of me.

“Secure the compound. No one comes in and no one leaves without seeing me first. Lock it the fuck down. Understood?” I want to know how the Hightowers gained access to my cousin’s family. No one leaves until I get answers.

Had these fuckers done their job in the first place I wouldn’t have had to witness my cousin’s wife get executed at point-blank range or use my time rescuing their daughter from those depraved, murdering, abusive fuckers. When I get my hands on my little cousin, he’s going to wish it was him the Hightowers kidnapped and killed instead. The little weasel will pay for not protecting his goddamn family and forcing me to do it for him.

I shove open the wrought-iron gate on the front door. It bounces off the back wall sending chunks of stonework tumbling to the entryway. Moving through the large, expansive rooms I come to a set of wooden doors. Guards stand on either side with grim expressions to match their black suits. They open the doors and I step inside, their eyes pinned forward.

I crack my neck and roll out the pain buried in my left shoulder from a fresh bullet wound. Motherfucker hurts like a bitch. I’ll have to see the doc, but first I have a man’s face to pummel.

Four damn weeks. Thirty-one days to be fucking exact. We missed Christmas and New Year’s. Fuck me sideways. She has to be worried sick and already deleting us from her life. I would. I won’t blame her if she is erasing us like we never existed. Did we not promise her she was our everything? And then we ghosted her like the rat bastards we are.

I scrape a hand over my face, the weight of my last name heavier than it has ever been.

I spot Oliver’s retreating back heading up the stairs to give the girl to her grandmother, no doubt. Good. The girl doesn’t need to see the violence I am about to unleash on her father.

We rounded up the extended family and brought them to one secure location until we sorted out the problem with the Hightowers.

Except Magnolia. She doesn’t know the full extent of our depravity and my family doesn’t know about her. It is safer that way despite what Rune argues.

Truth be told, I prefer keeping her presence in our lives a secret.
