Aiden

The sun is still out when I return to the manor.

It might be a first for me, being home this early on a workday. But these last two weeks have been full of firsts. There isn’t a single part of me that would rather be at the office or in the streets.

I really must be fucking changing.

... Or maybe it’s just what I want that’s changed.

Recently, my mind has been muddy and unclear. While Shane and the Bulldog have been sweeping the streets looking for more information, Nolan and I have been forced to concentrate on more administrative tasks.

Our above-ground companies are still chugging along just fine, and right now, the influence we achieve from that end of our business is just too important to ignore. We need that shield of legitimacy. It might be the only reason why the Russians haven’t upped their attacks yet. If they fuck with Kilpatrick Inc, then they could doom themselves to official investigations and actual federal law enforcement officers.

There’s no way they want that. And hell, we don’t either. But it doesn’t mean we’re safe for now. After the assault at Nolan’s club, the Russians went bar hopping. We’ve gotten reports from all across town that some unsavory reds are frequenting Irish watering holes, looking for men to interrogate.

We’ve upped security in those places, but we only have so many men. At least, we only have so many men that we can trust. I could buy a million mercenaries to join my cause, but the last thing I need is chaos. Despite the undercurrent of crime, the city is running smoothly at the moment. Most innocents remain safe, and that’s all our crooked cops and politicians want, for us to keep the killing to our own kind.

I’m afraid that won’t last much longer. Dmitry Gazin has been spotted again, and if rumors are true, he’s not above starting a fucking revolution if it means weakening his target before springing an attack.

Among other things, Nolan and I have been pouring over our assets trying to figure out what we might have that he could want so desperately. While the Black Delphi are a group of assassins, they rarely do work for hire. If we have something of theirs, it must be personally important to them, or else it’s something as big as an entire company, something that some foreign national is paying a literal fortune to try and regain.

But our efforts turned up little to nothing. Usually, figuring out shit like this is my forte. In another life, I’d have made a good detective. But the clues are limited and I’ve been avoiding a talk with Ciro until I’ve been able to clear my head.

That’s why I’ve returned to the mountains in the middle of the day. My head needs clearing. And as much as I want to deny it, there’s only one way to do that.

Her.

The princess has made a mess of me. For a whole week, I didn’t know what I wanted. She screwed up my poles and turned me upside down.
