Chapter Fourteen (Lucas)

The gym is filled with adrenaline and sweat, as training and planning for Dubai are in full swing. Taking Walker Enterprises to the world championship in Dubai is the next move in bringing new sponsorships, title-holding fighters, and insane financial growth. I don’t take for granted for a second that Emily helped make it all possible, so it’s clear to me that my future planning includes her.

I’m in the middle of training my fighters when my phone buzzes with a text from Chloe. She says her car’s tire is making a weird squeaking sound, and since she’s in the neighborhood, she wants me to help her. I sigh, but I can’t deny that taking care of my little sister is part of the assignment, so I slip on my jacket and grab the gym’s toolbox.

As I walk out into the parking lot, I see Chloe’s car pulling up. She parks like she owns the place, blocking two perfectly good spots. Her sunglasses rest on her nose, giving her an air of entitlement as she steps out. She waves at me like I’m her personal mechanic or something.

“Lucas! Thank goodness,” she exclaims, strutting over to me. “I don’t know what I would have done without you.”

“You do realize I have a gym full of fighters waiting for me right now, right?” I say, trying to keep the annoyance out of my voice.

“Of course, no problem, but this is important too. I mean, I can’t drive around with a squeaky tire. It could be dangerous.” She grins innocently.

I shake my head at her dramatics. “Alright, let’s take a look.”

I crouch down to examine the tire, feeling the annoyance brew inside me. I have fighters waiting for me, but here I am, playing mechanic for Chloe.

“Anyway,” she starts, brushing off my obvious irritation. “I have something much more interesting to tell you.”

“Really?” I ask, half listening as I inspect the brake pads. “What could be more interesting than this?”

“Carlo,” she says, her voice becoming serious. “He cornered Emily in the restaurant parking lot last night when we were trying to leave. He had his thugs with him too. It was actually kind of scary.”

My hands freeze, and I feel my blood start to boil. “What the fuck are you talking about?”

“Oh, I figured Emily would have told you,” she murmurs.

“Told me what, Chloe?” My patience is wearing thin. “Why didn’t’ Emily tell me this?”

She shrugs, watching me closely. “I don’t know. She handled it like a badass, though. Told him where to go, for sure.”

“Damn it,” I mutter under my breath, my protective instincts for Emily kicking into overdrive. “I swear if that bastard laid a hand on her—”

“Lucas,” she interrupts, placing a hand on my shoulder. “Calm down. Emily’s fine. I just thought you should know. Carlo is out for you.”

My anger boils over, and I slam the wrench onto the pavement with a loud clang. “That son of a bitch!” I curse. “What did he say to her? That asshole clearly has a death wish.
