After holding Ana close, I turned around and snapped at her, “Shut the fuck up and mind your own fucking business. You don’t know shit about what happened, and you sure as fuck aren’t going to talk about this shit while my sister is listening.”
The woman stared at me in shock for a few moments, then curled her lips into an evil-as-fuck, menacing smirk. She moved closer to me and laid her hand on my shoulder. “I’m here to let you know that The Family is always watching, João.”
“Get the fuck out of here,” I growled, shoving her off me.
I scooped up Ana in my arms and hurried down the aisle, grabbing cocoa powder on the way out and heading right for the self-checkout. We were getting out of here as soon as fucking possible because when Akio’s family finally came out of hiding, I didn’t want Ana anywhere near trouble.
“João,” Ana said, wrapping her arms around my shoulders and holding me close. “Who was that?”
“Nobody.”
“What did Mama do?”
“Nothing, Ana,” I said, slipping my chip into the card reader to pay. “They’re trying to mess with us. They’re bad people who hurt Mama and us. We need to get you back home, where you are safe.”
Who knew if these people would follow me or if they had bugged our place or some shit? I needed to find out how they were tracking and watching our every move before we gave them exactly what they wanted—information on their downfall.
