“He is planning to take over the city with Cillian eliminating the competition. This means war with the other families. It’s going to lead to bloodshed. You know what that means.”
“The other families aren’t going to care that my father and I are at odds. He is striking against me without moving a finger.” I say more to myself.
“Exactly. We can’t afford to go to war with all the families. Even with our growing numbers it won’t be enough.”
“Shit.” I say running my fingers through my hair.“What are you thinking?”
“Everything I’ve come up with is not ideal.”
“You said it will be a few days, how solid is your intel?”
“It came from Jason. He has been our inside man. But that isn’t all.”
“Of course it isn’t.”
“Fiona is back. She was seen with Cillian an hour ago.” I’m going to say something when my phone rings. It’s Jimmy. This is wrong. He shouldn't be calling me at all.
“Why are you calling? Where is Marco?” I start walking towards the door.
“Ms. McIntyre has breached the perimeter and is screaming, threatening to take your daughter. She has made it inside the house.”
“How the fuck did she get in?” I end the call, not waiting for an answer. I can already guess what happened. I leave the office and walk outside to my parked SUV.
“What is it?” Oliver asks behind me.
“Fiona.” He gets in my SUV.
I start to drive. My father has made a move. The moment I leave, Fiona shows up. The fact she got as far as inside the gate lets me know the men are beginning to choose sides. There are men at my house in my father’s pocket that have betrayed me. What man hates his son so much he would do anything to destroy him? For fuck sake, my children are in there. Why does he hate me so much? I drive like a mad man. Before I know it, I’m pulling up, and it's pure chaos outside. I rush out of the car as men are running in.
“What the fuck is happening?” I ask the first man I see by the door.
“Ms. McIntyre just fired a weapon at Ms. O’Brien.” I don’t hear another word. I run upstairs.
The scene in front of me is worse than I could have imagined. Marco is trying to talk to Ava, whose arm is dripping with blood. She doesn't seem to be responding to him. Fiona is being held by one of Marco’s men. I walk straight towards Fiona. I could kill her right now. Oliver speaks before I can.
“I’ll handle Fiona. Go to Ava.” And I do just that.
?
“What do you mean you are done?”
“Exactly what I said. Grace, can you take Niko?”
“Of course.” She hands Niko to her and leaves the bedroom. There are two men standing on each side of the door. This is exactly how it should have been earlier. I will have someone's head after this. Ava could have been killed.
“Talk to me.” She keeps walking.“Stop,” I bark, grabbing her good arm.
“Let go of me.” She pulls, but it’s useless.“You are hurting me.” I instantly let go of her. I don’t want to ever hurt her.
“Ava,” my voice carries. But no one dares to look at us despite the four other men on each side of the floor.
“What, Viktor? What can you say that will make this ok? Because it isn’t. There is nothing you can say that will justify any of this.”
“I wasn’t going to say that. Let’s talk.” I look at her. She is full of rage.
“What the fuck do you want me to say? Your demented ex-wife came into our home. She had a gun Viktor. Our children live here.” Tears start coming down her face.
“I’m going to get to the bottom of this. She should have never made it inside.”
