Who’s that?
Whoever it is has the room silent for far too long.
“So… should we get this contract shit over with so you three can be on your ruthless way and I can figure out what the hell my role is as Queen before the school year begins?” I summarize.
All of them look my way, but it’s Domino who suddenly has me off the ground with a tug of my arm.
“Ow.” This man wants to disjoint my arm. “What did I?—”
“Why are you bleeding?”
Huh?
It takes a second to notice that my upper thigh has been slashed, blood dripping down my left leg. I can only assume when I stopped the intruder dude from killing himself, he injured me in the process as an act of retaliation.
Smooth.
“I’m fine,” I announce, but I’m not only gasping at how this man lifts me up and over his shoulder with one fucking arm, but I’m more bewildered at the fact Warren isn’t stopping him from kidnapping me. “Wait, wait, wait! Where are we going? I need that knife back!”
“Who the fuck gave you a knife?” Domino spits out, to which I hear Zander chuckle.
“No comment.”
“What’s your game plan, Dom?” Ares speaks up, sounding as if he’s right behind Dom’s storming strides.
“Signing this fucking contract before anyone dares to claim what’s mine!”
Oh, shit.

BETRAYL AND ENVY
~DOMINIO~
How dare he think he can pull this shit off?
I’m pacing back and forth, waiting for more intel on how the fuck this douche managed to get into our house.
As much as the idea of blaming my father is appeasing to my heartless soul, I’m pretty confident it wasn’t him. I may not be his favorite at the moment, thanks to all the shit I’ve been dealing with in the shadows, but he wouldn’t succumb to sending some half-sightless douche to try to assassinate my best friends and me.
Three heirs—Italian, German, Russian—wouldn’t be so easily slain in their place of refuge.
That’s what grinds my gears to my core.
That could have happened.
I’m not foolish enough to pretend that without that fucking bodyguard interference, the three of us would either be injured to the point of permanent disability or gathered at the gates of hell.
All because our security team can’t even detect an intruder.
Now that I think about it, this is the second instance that our security team hasn’t caught onto potential threats in our vicinity.
From Warren’s comment when I tried to insult him, it’s clear he was observing ourmovements when we were surveying the warehouse.
I’m gonna fire the entire fucking team.
The only problem with that obvious conclusion is we don’t have the time to be without security. Not with university starting in less than forty-eight hours.
