“You took my daughter,” Rojas roars, his angry gaze settling on Dix, who looks back defiantly.
Dix takes a step forward, getting in the old man’s face. “You mean mywife, don’t you?” He gives Rojas a shit-eating grin. “She’s mine, motherfucker. You lose.”
Benedicto steps forward, turning with a furious expression at his sister, now standing beside Dix. “At least you’re no longer his whore.”
Dix growls, white-hot rage on his face, and punches Benedicto with so much force he falls back on his ass. “You watch your fucking mouth with my wife, dickhead.”
Bene scrambles to his feet and pushes his chest against Dix. “Or what?”
Dix looks over his shoulder at Valentina, winking at her with love in his eyes before he turns back to her brother. “Or I’ll fucking end you.”
Santiago steps forward, but Arturo stops him. “Not yet.”
He turns a furious glare at Ace, but it slowly shifts into a sneer. “You didn’t think that little firebomb was going to end LTC, did you?” The older man smacks his lips, shaking his head. “I keep reserves all over the country.”
“I know,” Ace answers ominously.
All the color drains from Arturo’s face. “You wouldn’t.”
Bene’s phone rings, and when he moves to answer it, Dix steps forward.
Ace nods to Dix. “Let him answer.”
The room falls eerily silent except for the tinny sound of someone talking on the other end of the call.
“Si,” Bene says. “Okay,ahoritalehablo,” he says.
Bene turns to his father. “Ya.Seacabó,” Bene growls. “The factories, the warehouses. Poppy and coca fields. Everything is gone, Papa.”
Arturo lets out a strangled scream, trembling with fury. His gaze fixes on Santiago, and he gives a nearly imperceptible nod.
Instinctively, I take a step forward.
Santiago pulls out a gun, smiling like an evil villain. “You are a dead man, Ace.”
The seconds that follow move in agonizingly slow motion as Santiago takes aim at Ace's head. “Adios, asshole.”
But before Santiago can pull the trigger, I draw my weapon and fire it, striking Santiago in his bicep. His gun clatters to the floor beneath him, and he screams in agony.
“Not so brave now, are you?” I mock as I stand over him, wearing a smile of my own. I aim the gun and fire two bullets in quick succession—one to his chest and one between his eyes. “Adios, motherfucker.”
After a beat of silence, chaos erupts. Arturo grabs for his own gun and aims it at Ace, but Banger is there first and kicks it out of his hand. Rojas stumbles, and Banger is all over him.
“That’s for Devon,” he growls, slamming his fist against Arturo’s eye. “And that’s for Jordi,” he shouts, unleashing a series of uppercuts that send him flying back against the door.
A gunshot rings out, and Dix grunts as his right shoulder flies backward.
Valentina rushes to his side, but he pushes her back just as another shot rings out, barely missing her. She glares at Dix and then at her brother.
“Stubborn fucking men,” she shouts at the top of her lungs.
“Stupid whore,” Bene spits up at his sister.
Anger flashes in Dix’s eyes, and he yelps in pain as he reaches for his gun.
“You’re a fucking dead man,” he growls.
Bene squeezes off another shot that hits the light fixture above them.
