“Deep breath, Jay, breathe, then speak.”
I spun, like lightning. I stared, my mouth falling open.
He was gazing at me. Directly in my eyes. My angel. His face was passive, but I could see my pain reflected in his eyes.
I shook my head.
“Breathe. In,” he murmured, executing the action as he said it. I mimicked him, “Out.” I followed. I kept my eyes on

“I –”“Is he dead?” The slim face was ghostly now, the eyes damp. “Did you finally do what you’ve always wanted? Did you take him from me again? Have you taken him forever?”I stared.Lesser men than Clement Monore had gone rabid. I didn’t want to get another pair of ships for this man. I didn’t hate him, nor was he a problem in my universe.But I was beginning to think he could become one – if I didn’t shut this down the right way.I held his gaze for a long moment. I tilted my head to the side.“Do you… love him, Clement?”“There is no such thing as love, Jayden. Not in this world.”My eyes searched his face.“You know what he was to me?”“I do.”“You know what he did to me?”“Yes.”“Then after how many years, why would I need to have anything to do with him now?”His lips pursed.“You must have heard some of the things people are saying. Leon was mixed up with some really bad

If I could, I would have avoided him for the rest of the day.I got to watch the kid and Marcus interact for a full hour before Liam walked in and Adrian stood. Both men left within the next minute.During all that time, with Adrian focused on Marcus, Barry kept glancing at me, and I let him. I didn’t have the heart to play with words.He didn’t know my brother, and I made no introductions. Also, the favor with the knife had not been pre-discussed, and the man had never seen me move anything more than my own body on my own feet.My mind drifted.I had left my brother there in the wide, empty car park. He would be going back to where our parents were – a location I did not know.I managed my risks very well.I would see them all once Ralis was at sea and the first handoff had been made, and not a day sooner.People were watching the man. My people had to work around them.All they would be able to confirm would be a fight

Adrian’s POV.Two months ago, I would have missed it.My father’s guests pulled me into their conversations, no matter how many times I got away from them.I finally gave up around 2 o’clock and just sat in as the butler took over inviting people in, and Liam got the hospital staff to bring in more seats to my father’s room, as earlier invitees simply moved away from the bed to make room for the new ones.Their guards stayed outside, but the room was crowded with the large, plush sofas the older men were using.A past version of me would have been swept along, would have forgotten, but soon, three full hours had passed, and there was no sign of Jayden Malroy.I had already forgiven him, and Liam. Something that would have taken much longer barely two weeks prior.They were hiding something, and only one person they both knew came to mind – my brother.I kept my phone in my pocket, on vibrate, and every movement I made caused me

“Good? Yeah.” He blinked. “I’ll never forget how good we were.” His eyes searched Ralis’ face. “All your consideration will be remembered. Today, we give you ours.”He moved away.“Kyle! KYLE! You can’t do this! You’re not made for this! Jade! Jade!!! You can’t do this to me! Didn’t we have a deal? Didn’t we –”Barry snatched the folded cloth from me and nearly punched it back into Ralis’ mouth. He covered his mouth with fresh tape and ripped his shirt down the front.“Mmmmmm! MMMMPPPHHH!”He began drawing lines across his chest and abdomen with a red marker as Ralis tried to shake him off.Barry pulled his head up by the hair.“Mmmmph!”Ralis stared daggers at Marcus’ number two.“They’ll start from there,” Barry rumbled, his face like stone as he moved the marker close to Ralis’ left eye, dangling it before his wide-open, belligerent pupil.He drew a line under Ralis’ left eye. “And move to here.”Ralis s

I gritted my teeth as the car made its way through the afternoon traffic.Vega was on the phone.The driver suddenly lurched. The vehicle came to a halt.I glanced up, out the window and windshield. There were men in black, from head to toe, firing smoke bombs.“Fuck!” I cursed.Vega pulled me down to the floor of the car and got over me as glass shattered.His body was pulled away. Someone struck my cheek, twice.I cut his arm with my wire and pulled him through the broken window.There was a loud explosion.The car rocked.Hands were on me from all sides. My grip on the arm loosened. I was struck again and was lifted off the seat.Something was stuffed in my mouth as the cool temperature outside touched my face. A bag was over my head, and my shoulder struck metal. Hard.I didn’t move. Didn’t try to speak.I saw only one face in my mind, and I held on to it.==========Jayden’s

“Hello?”My breath caught.“Hello? ““Dex.”A pause. “A…drian?”“Yes, Dex. It’s me.”Silence.I closed my eyes and pushed forward. “I’m sorry to call you out of the blue like this, but I need some help.”No response. But he had not hung up. Yet.I kept going. “I need some info, Dex. On my – on Leon Ralis.”I was in the bathroom of my father’s hospital room. Two guests had come in together and were both chatting with my father. The butler and Liam were keeping out of sight but were ready should anyone need anything.I had excused myself, taking my phone, the one I had received from Jayden, with me.I was seated on the closed toilet seat, keeping my voice as low as possible while I ran water in the sink.“Can you help?”“Why call me? You have –”“You’re a friend. Aren’t you? Dex? ““Adri–”“Then you’re a contact. Definitely that, no?” I cut in, his tone causing sweat
