CHAPTER EIGHT

CARTER

“What the fuck do you mean, he bailed?” I demand as I throw the door open to my father’s office, only to find Ricardo watching me through hooded eyes. His head is tilted, a heavily tattooed hand resting over his mouth I don’t miss the contempt in his black eyes.

“He… I didn’t…” the line crackles. I can’t hear the son of a bitch which infuriates me more. I don’t have time for this bullshit so instead of trying to hear what this fucker is trying to tell me I hit my phone against my head a couple of times, my pent-up frustration getting the better of me. “I can’t hear you, you dumb fuck. Call me when you’ve got the answers I need,” I slam the phone down on the desk.

“Problem?” Ricardo asks as I throw my body down into my father’s leather chair.

“Yeah. You could call it that.” I’m twitchy. I’m on edge and I need a little something to focus my mind. Reaching down into the bottom drawer of my old man’s desk I pull out his vintage bourbon and Ricardo watches me cautiously. Everyone knows my old man only brings this out when it’s a cause for celebration, but right in this moment I don’t give a damn. It’s not like he’ll miss it and even if he does, he’ll be able to buy a shit ton to replace it with without even noticing a dent in bank account. Plus, I’d like to think I’ve earned it putting up with this motherfucker opposite me.

“Wanna talk about it?” He asks. I don’t look at him while I pour myself a healthy shot, but I can feel him smirking at me—like I’m the fucking joke.

“What’s there to talk about?” I watch him closely and his empty eyes never leave mine. Not even when I bring the glass to my lips and down the amber liquid. It burns my throat, but I welcome the pain before scrunching up my eyes.

“You could start by telling me what’s eating you, kid.” I like what he’s trying to do here. Does he really think I’m naive enough to fucking fall for his bullshit? This guy can sit back and pretend he cares all he likes but we all know that he’s only out for himself. With my old man out of town he actually thinks he doesn’t have to answer to me. Why… because he thinks I’m beneath him? This motherfucker doesn’t think I’m worthy of being here—my family’s legacy. Fucking mine. Not his. “A problem shared and all that…” he offers, and I curve my lips at him. What a fucking guy.

I search his face, but he’s good. He’s been trained well by my old man not to give anything away. But no matter. I don’t need Ricardo to admit the error of his ways. I already know them. Every fucking one. I thought about filling my old man in, but then I decided against it. After all I’m gonna come
