“Jealousy looks good on you, Gucci.”
“Fuck you.”
“Not right now.”
“It’s not happening again,” I sass back.
“The girl was my sister, Carlina.”Oh shit!I feel like an utter bitch now. Here I am moping because I thought Vin had fallen in love with a girl and that girl wasn’t me. “My piece of shit father sold her to Tony, who then sold her to the Russian’s I believe as a goodwill payment.” Anger burns through me, it makes me sick that men think they can sell women off like we are nothing but chattel. “I couldn’t do anything to help her under Vinny’s rule so with the help of my cousin Marco, we faked a car wreck and placed a John Doe in the driver’s seat before burning the car. We knew Vinny would never check dental records, he never gave a shit about me or Selena. He was just happy to get rid of us.”
“So all of this,” I wave my hands around the room to emphasize my point, “is to find out what happened to your sister?”
“Yes.”
“You came for me as a bargaining chip to get to Bishop so he would help you find your sister, didn’t you?” He runs a hand through his hair tugging on the strands in frustration. A whoosh of air escapes me as realization dawns on me. “You were going to use me and then kill me so Bish could feel half the pain you feel right now.” A pained look enters his eyes. I pull out of his hold and shuffle away from him. He tries to reach for me but I dodge him and jump from the bed, keeping it between us as a barrier.
“Gucci––”
“Fuck you, Vincent! You used me and are still doing it now. Did you send videos of you fucking me to my brother?” His eyes widen for a split second before he’s jumping over the bed and crowding me against the wall. His hand comes up to wrap around my throat. His hold isn’t tight enough to restrict my airways, the hold he has on me is just a warning that he could do it if he wanted to.
“The only one who gets to see this,” he cups my sex, causing me to gasp, “is me. Make no fucking mistake, Gucci, I told you from the start I had planned to kill you. I’ll find another way to get what I want from your brother but it won’t be at the cost of you.” I’m so fucked in the head, instead of his words inspiring a deep-seated hate for him admitting to going after my family, they have me feeling all warm inside because he won’t use me to get what he wants most. “My intentions were clear from the start. You knew you were going to be used but I didn’t expect for shit to change and you to bury your fucking self inside me. I need to find my sister, Carlina. I have to. But I promise you, I wouldneverbetray you by using our most private moments to get what I want. I am the only man who gets to see you come on my cock. No one else will ever see the face you make in that moment. Am I clear?”
“Y-yeah,” I stutter.
“Good.” He places a quick peck to my lips before he pulls back and leads me back to the bed. “Go back to sleep, Gucci. I have some work to do and we leave for Paris in two days.”
“Wait, what?” A devilish smirk graces his handsome face.
“You see, I kind of don’t get paid from my previous job because you’re still breathing so I need to work.” Like I said, I’m so fucked up because I swoon like he just said the most romantic shit ever.

Seven weeks…
Weeks have gone by and we have traveled to more places than I thought possible. Vin’s work takes him all over the world. I expected him to leave me behind and not want me with him, but Vincent was not having any of that. I travel with him under a fake name and passport. I even wear wigs to hide my hair color. I stay in the hotel room while heworks. It’s surreal to know that he is leaving me to go kill someone. I’ve read over every file and each person that he is sent to take out isn’t a good man. They harm children and women, steal from the poor and Vin assures me he never takes a life unless it is warranted. He says he needs all the facts about a person before he pulls the trigger. He is very thorough with his checks and never rushes.
We have been home for two days. Vin has given me my freedom and phone back while we were in Sicily saying that if I chose to out him and call in my brothers, that it’s my choice. The thought never crossed my mind, we may have started out fucked up, but honestly I care a lot about Vin. My feelings for him seem to grow stronger and stronger each passing day. I would even dare to go as far and say I’ve fallen in love with him. The only thing that scares me is knowing I will have to come clean to my family and tell them about him. Vin is older than Bishop, he’s thirty-one, and is the only son of my brother’s enemy. Bishop is not going to take that well.
Vin gave me a file the night we came home on a woman named Koby. He has been tracking each person in my family for years. He says he may live like a recluse but he has contacts around the world and each of them report to him about what they find on my family and all their dealings. This woman Koby is a Russian and she is trying to get in close with Allison, King’s girlfriend. I know I need to warn my brothers about her but I don’t know how Vin is going to feel about that. He has some app on my phone that blocks it from being able to be tracked or bugged. Yeah, Vin knows about Luka and his hacking skills. He has opened up so much and told me everything about himself and his sister Selena, my heart aches for him. I wouldn’t be able to survive losing one of my siblings, shit, even losing Gage would hurt like a bitch.
Vincent
Present… the day Knight called.
We’re sitting on the couch with her laying her head on my lap while I run my fingers through her hair. I love the feeling of her silky strands as they fall through my fingers. Spending these past months with her has been the best of my life. She has given me a whole new outlook on life. I never thought I would wake each day with a smile on my face and be happy to wake up, knowing she is beside me every morning makes me fucking happy to be alive. Her phone rings pulling me from my thoughts. She reaches blindly toward the coffee table to grab it. When she sees the caller ID she bolts upright and darts her gaze to me. I grit my teeth and remind myself that she is no longer my prisoner and is staying with me by choice. Even if she wanted to leave I don’t think I would ever be able to let her go. Carlina Murdoch was once my enemy but now she is my… everything.
“Knight,” she breathes his name out almost like it’s painful. I’m close enough to her to hear what he says without it being on speaker.
“Hey, Car.” The tension in her shoulders eases slightly.
“How did you find me?” I smile wide, I’m proud of my girl. She has changed so much and isn’t naïve to the things she used to be. She can fight and track me through the jungle without getting lost. Truth is, she is just as good as me at tracking and that is saying something. I didn’t earn the name bloodhound for nothing.
“There’s a lot to fill you in on but first, I need you to come home.” Tension returns to her shoulders, she drops her chin to her chest and rage burns inside me knowing that her brother has made her feel this way.
“I was wondering how long it would take before one of you guys came calling. Truthfully, I expected you lot to get Rook to guilt me into coming back willingly.” She’s told me about all her brothers and how each of their relationships differs. Out of the five of them, she is closest to her youngest brother, Rook.
“Car… Rook is…” She snaps her gaze to me, the scared look in her eyes spears right in the fucking heart knowing I can’t make it better.
“What the fuck is going on, Knight. Where is he?” The concern in her voice for her brother is felt deep inside me. Without a doubt I know she will want to go back if something happened to him. Honestly, I’ve been putting off this trip for so long. This might just be the push I needed to finally end this with my father and her family.
