“She isn’t what you think,” he grits out.

“I know exactly who Katarina Antonov is. I know more than all of you fucking think because ofhim.” My three brothers cut their gazes to Vin eyeing him with nothing but hatred in their gazes. “I also know that you need an in with the Russians. Help us and we’ll help you get Gage inside the Bratva.” All four of them are staring at me like I’m some foreign invader. I spin around giving them my back as I peer up at Vin. His gaze is sharp and I can tell from the hard set of his jaw he doesn’t like this situation one bit. I can see it in his eyes he is pissed off at what I just told my brothers. “I had no choice,” I say quietly.

“There is always a choice, Gucci. You just made yours by selling me out to your brothers.” I flinch at his cold tone, I didn’t see another way out of this. Vin has connections that can help my family but my family can also help Vin. Problem is, Bishop and Vin are so pig headed they can’t put their pride and ego aside and admit they need each other’s help.

Vincent

I want to strangle the fuck out of her right now!

Her big doe eyes implore me to see that she only did this to help me. I know she meant well but all she has done is cause more problems. Bishop will never let it rest now. We may have had a shot at walking away from this, but now, he will do whatever it takes to get the information out of me by using his sister against me.

“Vincent, please––” I shake my head cutting her off. This is a conversation we need to have in private not in front of her brother’s.

“It’s done.” My moment of distraction cost me, a shot rings out and I’m stumbling back a step as Gage swoops in wrapping his arms around my girls waist and dragging her from the room. My shoulder burns from the gun shot, I cut my gaze to Bishop and grit my teeth, the fucker is smiling wide with his gun still pointed at me.

“Let me go!” Carlina struggles in Gage’s hold, he’s trying his fucking best to hold her tight without hurting her. I step forward ready to lay the fucker out but King cuts me off with the barrel of his gun pressed against my forehead. I keep my gaze on my girl, she goes pale and limp in Gage’s hold with tears streaming down her cheeks as she looks to me.

“Bishop, please! I’ll be good. I’ll never run away again, please don’t hurt him.” He won’t kill me… yet, he needs the information I have before he’ll deliver the final blow. The only reason I’m not fighting back right now and shooting each of them to get to my girl is because I can’t risk her getting hurt in the crossfire.

“Go now, Carlina, we’ll talk about this later.” His tone is firm and final but she doesn’t listen, Bishop never takes his eyes off me.

“Bish, please. I’ll never speak to him again, just let him go!” she screams. Bishop finally pulls his gaze from me to shoot Gage a look, he nods and drags my girl from the room. I push forward but King shoves the gun harder against my head earning himself a fucking death glare from me.

“You fucking touch her––”

“You won’t fucking do shit!” Knight cuts in as soon as Carlina is out of the room. King turns to Bishop for his next order. I use that moment to strike out, ignoring the burn in my shoulder as I disarm King and turn the gun on him. Bishop and Knight both have their guns on me as I push the barrel of the gun into King’s head like he did mine.

“Like I said, you fucking touch her and I will kill you,” I snarl. King’s eyes burn with unfiltered rage. He’s fucking furious I disarmed him even with a shot to the shoulder. I learnt long ago to dissociate myself from pain. “Now, here is how this is going to play out.” Before I can finish, Bishop speaks, his eyes are so dark they are almost black with hatred.

“You pull that fucking trigger and I promise you I won’t kill you for years. I’ll make you my new play thing and even get my sister to watch as I fucking break you apart piece by piece.”

“You can try,” I grit out.

“You’re out manned,” Knight says.

“Do you really think you got in here because you’re that good?” I laugh but there is no humor to it, I don’t give them a chance to answer. “I let you in here, the only reason you all are still breathing is because ofher.” King and Knight both look confused. Bishop on the other hand looks smug and that is slightly unsettling.

“Rookie error. You kidnapped her and were meant to use her against me but you didn’t.” He scoffs and shakes his head whilst I stand here gritting my teeth. “You fell in love with my fucking sister.” The disgust in his tone is clear. “Now, let me tellyouhow this is going to play out.” The smug fuck smirks as he uses my own words against me. “You are either going to come willingly or I bring my sister back in here and… persuade you with other means.” I reel my arm back and smack the butt of the gun against King’s head, he drops to his knees in front of me as blood gushes from his forehead. I never take my eyes off Bishop as I move the gun from King to Bishop.

“Call her back in here now!” He’s not even fazed that I have his brother on his knees and at my mercy with a gun trained on him. I make sure to keep an eye on Knight, that fucker is a wild card.

“Not gonna happen, the whole place is surrounded even if you take us out, you’ll never make it out of here and I promise you you’ll never find my sister.”

“Where the fuck is she, Bishop?” I snap.

“Safe.” His one-word response has me seeing red, I ready myself to squeeze the trigger and end the son of bitch but then Gage walks in. He pauses at the scene in front of him, rolls his eyes and moves so he is in the middle of all three guns. He looks to his brothers and shakes his head before focusing on me.

“Put the gun down, there will be no bunker––”

“Like fuck!” Bishop snaps but Gage ignores him and pushes on.

“No one will shoot you… again if you can answer this one question.” I eye him warily for a moment. The fact Bishop hasn’t pulled rank yet leads me to believe he is just as curious to see what Gage says.

“What is it?”

“What are you willing to do if it means you get to be with her?” Well, that wasn’t what I expected him to say. I don’t even hesitate to answer.

“Whatever it takes. I don’t need your permission or even want it, she’s mine.” I make sure to meet Bishop’s gaze as I say the last part. I don’t stop him when King slowly climbs to his feet, his upper lip is pulled back in a snarl and his eyes are narrowed.
