My uncle wants me at his mercy.

I want him at mine.

May the best man win.

When we arrive at Dante’s, everything appears normal. The only difference from when I left earlier is the blacked-out sedan in the driveway. I clench my fist, ready for whatever violence is coming.

Damien lowers his speed and parks down the street in case anyone is monitoring the area. Dante doesn’t have too close of neighbors, but they’re not distant enough not to hear outside gunfire.

Damien snatches the 9mm from the cupholder while I withdraw my Glock.

Is this a trap?

I step out of the SUV and look at Leo. “Stay in the car with him.”

He salutes me and then elbows the guy in the face.

We charge toward the door while glancing in every direction, making sure Sonny doesn’t have his men waiting for us.

The front door is unlocked, and Damien follows me inside. I head straight to the living room, where I hear voices.

“There’s my favorite nephew,” Sonny cheerfully greets like I’m a long-lost relative, not someone who wants to murder his ass. “I’ve been waiting for your arrival.” His plump face brims with wicked eagerness.

I move deeper into the room to see him surrounded by Billy, Savi, and my fucking mother.

Disgust swirls in my stomach.

When my gaze cuts to the couch, I find Gigi tied up, tape over her mouth, and her face red. I charge toward her, and Billy snatches her up by her hair. He drags her away before I reach her, clamping his hand around her throat as he arrogantly smiles at me.

I move closer, but Savi steps between us and directs his pistol at me.

Damien points his gun at him.

I raise my Glock toward Billy, keeping my eyes on Gigi. “Let her go, Billy.”

Gigi attempts to squirm free, but he only tightens his hold on her.

I’ve never felt so powerless as I do now, watching him hold her.

Vulnerable.

But I quickly contort back to fury.

My nostrils flare, and the burning rage inside me intensifies, turning into an all-consuming inferno when Billy presses a gun against her head.

Gigi’s face doesn’t have a trace of fear, but I know my princess deep enough to understand it’s there. Cristian taught her to hide it well.

I want to massacre Sonny and all his men.

And I fucking will.

Gigi’s eyes are wide as they collide with mine, and I hope to God she can read the promise in them that I’ll save her from this.

Keep my wife protected.

Even if it means my life.

A flutter of worthlessness slithers through me.
