“I don’t think that’s such a good idea,” Bray hedges, knowing they’re volatile together.
“I’ll be nice,” he snaps as he turns, following her upstairs.
“Him nice? There’s something new.” Bray chuckles and then looks at me. “You can have the honour, brother.”
“Boys, please, you don’t have t—”
“Please be quiet, Father. It seems Meredith has not quite grasped how things run around here, but she is about to.” I glare at her. “You ignored our warning from last night, but you’ll heed this one.” She swallows nervously at my firm, unarguable tone and the fact my father is not stopping me. His eyes remain downcast as he ignores her searching gaze, leaving her to us.
“This is our house, our rules, and you will follow them. This is not a request, it is now an order. You don’t seem to grasp just how much power we have in this city. We own four of the top law firms. We donate to the police and fire department. We own nearly fifty percent of the businesses in this city, and every single person here knows our names. You are nothing. You will be polite, almost silent in this house. You will stay out of our way, and you will not so much as speak or look at your daughter again.”
“Or what?” she sneers, used to getting her way and forcing others to back down. We are not anyone though. We are the Crew brothers, and we back down from nothing, especially not a gold-digging cunt like her.
“Or you will regret the day you stepped foot in our house and opened your legs for our father’s money.”
Bray looks at Dad then. “We love you, Father, but this one is a spiteful bitch, you’ll see that soon enough. Ensure she follows the rules. We would hate to have to ruin her like the last one.” With that, we both stand. Bray leans over the table to get into Meredith’s space, and she jerks back, finally realising how serious we are.
“We mean this, Meredith. Your daughter belongs to us now. She’s a Crew, and we will protect her like family from anyone, including you. I suggest you buy a muzzle if you can’t stay quiet,” he growls before we both leave the room.
Some family dinner that was.
At least she knows who she’s messing with now. It’s just not the legitimate side of our businesses we have bought and cultivated she should be worried about though, but we don’t brag about those—the ones with guns—with the convictions and morals most people have.
But first, we have to find out just what our stepsister is hiding and why the name of her dead ex brought her so much pain. Family has no secrets, and Blair is about to find out she has been adopted into us and she has no choice.
She’s Crew.
Forever.
