But what I found made me furious.
Now, after I'd done a deep dive into Syndicate behaviors related to ACM Enterprises, I was even more pissed.
"Are you going to share?" Antonio slowly closed his laptop and leaned back in his seat. His hands folded together over his midsection, making him the perfect picture of calm and serene.
But I knew he was anything but.
"They want her to plant a program on your personal laptop that gives them unlimited access to our activities." I was back pacing, this time running my fingers through my hair in frustration. "Fucking Ross is a plant."
Antonio leaned forward, his brow furrowed. "What the fuck are you talking about? He's part of the family."
Ross was a second cousin twice removed from the Cavalori family; the family whose attitude was family first. Anyone else can take a bullet.
But apparently, Ross hadn’t gotten that memo.
He’d been a critical member of our security team. But I’m sure Antonio will take care of that shortly.
"He's got some big gambling debts. In about five hundred g's to the Russians. They want his head on a silver platter, but it seems our good friend Bitch Barbie, capitalized on that and bought the debt from them. She's been using him to get info on us ever since."
Antonio rose from his desk and scrubbed a hand along his stubbled jaw. "We have to do something about this."
"No fucking shit Sherlock." I couldn’t give two shits about being respectful to him right now; I was too wound up. "But we must play this very carefully because they could take Alexis from us."
As I mentioned her name, he whirled around, his expression hardening into something fierce. "They will get her over my dead body."
"Mine too," I admitted softly. I'm sure Antonio already knew it, but I was in deep with this omega.
“Is it just Annaleise, or is the entire Syndicate behind this?”
“From what I can tell, just her.” A growl bubbled in my throat as visions of tearing the bitchy omega limb from limb flossed my mind. “But Alexis doesn’t know that. She thinks she has to play along so that we’re all safe.”
“Fucking Syndicate.” He roared and slammed his fists on the desk.
The sound echoed, and I winced, hoping the sound didn’t wake Alexis.
But Cormac heard, and he burst through the door with his brows raised. “What’s going on?” His arms crossed over his massive chest, and he was the picture of calm.
Compared to the frantic energy Antonio and I were throwing off, it helped to balance the room.
Always calm and collected. Cormac was our rock, balancing our trio in only the best ways.
With a shake of my head, I repeated what I found out.
Cormac didn’t show any signs of outward emotion, but there was a hardened set to his jaw, and his eyes flashed with fire.
“So what are we going to do?”
A simple question to which there was no simple answer.
Antonio sighed and clenched and unclenched his fists. “I need to speak with someone else above Annaleise. I think her selfish desires don’t reflect what the Syndicate wants.”
“But we have to tread lightly.”
He nodded. “I’m aware. I’m going to the top, and I’m going to get some answers. This is a direct attack on thefamiglia, and I can’t stand for it. Annaleise will pay.”
"When are we leaving?" I asked, unable to hide the glee from seeping into my words as I thought about finally being able to gut Annaleise. That cunt was finally going to get what she deserved.
"We aren't going anywhere." He eyed me critically. "You and Cormac will stay with Alexis while I deal with this. I need to know she's well taken care of, and that will only happen with the two of you. Don't fucking know who to trust anymore."
