“There a reason you’re covered in blood?” Fausto Mancini asked casually when he joined me in the entry of his home.

I’d already killed one man today, and my hands were aching to squeeze the life from another. Seeing Fausto when I knew he’d been roughing up his daughter brought a murderous rage to the surface. It took everything I had to force a calm façade. “Ran into a little trouble on the way back here.”

His eyes drifted toward the stairs. “I take it my daughter was returned safely?”

“She’s unharmed but shaken up. I sent her to her room.” I slowly stepped closer with my gaze lowered to my hands before me. “Things could have gone very differently. Noemi could have been hurt, and while we aren’t technically married yet, I consider her my responsibility.” I lifted my gaze to his, leveling him with a vicious stare. “If anyone ever harmed a woman under my protection, I’d tear that fucker to pieces. I put a bullet through one of those men today, and the other will wish I had when I catch him.”

“And you’re telling me this why?” Fausto asked, his lip starting to curl.

“Just thought it would be good for you to know, as my future father-in-law. I protect what’s mine.” I hadn’t called him out in so many words, but I had no doubt my message had been received. “Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have business to attend to.” I gave a curt nod and let myself out. The last of my civility expired.

It felt good to confront him. I wanted the bastard to know that I was watching him. It was the only way I felt comfortable leaving Noemi in his care. If he knew I was onto him, he’d know he couldn’t get away with any bullshit.

Just to be safe, however, I decided it would be best to reach out to the head of the family for a meeting. The Italians were all about structure and rules. As a mere capo, Fausto wouldn’t be able to make any crucial decisions about the alliance. It would be prudent to ensure I kept the Moretti boss informed of my perspective in case Fausto started spreading any lies. I didn’t want this skirmish to devolve into a war.
