“Good girl.” I kiss the crown of her head. “They won’t get away with this.”
“It was Rigo, Gaspar, and my mother. Jorge and his wife were also there; they took us, but the latter is dead.”
“Jorge’s wife is dead?” Just to make sure I heard right.
“Yes.” Aliana pulls back just far enough for me to meet her sad eyes. “She’d been sleeping with my father for over a year. Jorge pulled the trigger while my mother egged him on, calling him all kinds of names until he snapped and grabbed a knife, stabbing her to death a few feet from me.”
“Oh, sweetheart.” Fuck, she should never have seen something like that. Not her. Never her. “Jorge is dead, by the way.”
“Good riddance. My cousin was a pig.” She doesn’t know. And for now, we’ll keep it that way. The less stress, the better. “By the way, it was my mom that put this all together. Her and Rigo, who is also her lover, and I’m disgusted by the level of trash my family has become, and all for greed. They needed the money from that sale to disappear, while Gaspar wants me. They attempted to kill two birds with one stone.”
“I’m sorry, love. I never wanted something like this for you.”
“I know and I don’t blame you. Y-you came for me,” she cries lowly, her bottom lip trembling as she speaks. “I’ve been so scared. She kept threatening us and—”
“Baby, where are your brothers and Lindsey? There’s a second team waiting to take off and grab them.”
“Just Lindsey is with them. But why my brothers?” she poses the last as a question. I’m missing something here. “What about them? She told me they were in a new school…it was one of the agreements we made.”
“Not here in London. Where are they?”
“They let me pick between Nicaragua or Sweden. I chose Sweden with the hope you’d find them first since that was one of the choices you gave my father.”

I can feel Casper’s eyes on the side of my head, but right now an explanation will have to wait. There are more pressing matters to deal with than my relationship status, and after all my men regrouped at the meet up, we detoured to a small building near Heathrow.
The place is isolated.
As if the owner closed shop recently and just left everything as is.
Exiting the car, I turn to look at Aliana. “I’m going to need you to—”
“If anyone is going to shoot her, it will be me.” My little firecracker is back. It took us thirty minutes into the drive for her to go from weepy to fuming and every other emotion in between. And I’m proud of her, but right now, that baby inside her belly comes first. “Sweetheart, please. I’ll drag her to the car if you want, but I need you safe.”
“I’m the safest next to you.”
“She’s right.” A female voice comes from our left, and Aliana’s eyes fill with tears once more. “You will protect her like no one else will.”
“Roe Roe, I’m—”
“Shut it.” My eyes narrow at her tone, but I relax when I see the smile on her face. “So, he’s dirty-joke dude?”
“Yeah. Just like one-night stand turned into a solo wedding?”
“Touché.”
“Are we okay, then?”
“I don’t know.” Aurora turns an icy glare on me. “Do you love her, Callum? Plan to spoil her while also accepting that once every few months, we will be having a sleepover?”
It’s hard, but I manage to keep my lips from twitching. “Aye.”
“Then I see no reason why we can’t get this show on the road. Let’s get a move on.”
My cousin chuckles at my perplexed expression. “Is she always this bossy?”
“Pretty much. From my understanding, they both are.”
