TWENTY-FOUR

GIANCARLO

My phone buzzing woke me up. I jumped and realized I’d fallen asleep at my desk.

I had no memory of when Sebastien and Anthony left my penthouse to go back to the fundraiser in my ballroom below. I tolerated their backseat hacking for only so long. For their sake, I hoped they’d gone somewhere and fucked. The tension rolling off those two racked my nerves. I knew what Sebastien could do with a shotgun and Anthony’s skills with a knife often had me looking over my shoulder.

Watching me fail to track Julian Russo wasn’t my finest moment, and I didn’t want them to see me go ballistic and destroy a laptop or two. I should have been able to crash through the FBI firewalls I kept running into. The patriot in me, however, silently smiled at every roadblock.

I kept my family safe.

The FBI kept my country safe.

Still didn’t stop me from being pissed the fuck off because that dude Julian went off the grid the same day as Rebecca. And on the same day someone took a shot at her. The same day a fresh hitman had been given the contract to finish the job.

No doubt Julian was keeping her safe.

Or was he? Sebastien and Anthony didn’t seem to think he was a mole for another crime family. The Russos had long ago given up their power. I chose to keep an open mind about that one.

I looked down at myself and realized I was still in my suit. My mouth felt bone dry. Looking around, I wiped crud from my eyes and found seven missed calls on my phone.

Dad.

Shit...

Someone pounding on my penthouse’s front door stilled me. No one had access to this floor. My apartment took up the full twenty-thousand square feet. A place too ridiculously big for one person. It only felt like home when I had Rebecca here.

I scrolled through my command center videos for the camera outside that door and exhaled. But also cursed.

Dad.

Alone.

As the technical owner of the hotel, Dad had sway over the operations manager to give him access to my private elevator. The knocking meant Dad didn’t have a key to my actual apartment. I paid fucking rent, you know.

Sniffing myself, I cringed, making my way to the front door. “Hang on, Dad!” I called out and opened the lever. “What in the world...” I stopped, seeing the angry look on his face.

For the first time in my life, I felt afraid of him. Considering most people in this city and Boston were, that put me in good company.

“Pack your bags, Gian.” Dad swept in, wearing his signature dark jeans and black leather jacket.

“Pack my bags? Where am I going?”

He glared at me. “Excuse me?”

I stepped back. My father headed our family while I kept our world safe from right here in my penthouse. I didn’t ‘travel’. Still, his look cut through me. I saw a man who not only lost his oldest son, but a businessman who lost the chance to make a lot of money on a drug deal.
