Well now, I’d tackle him about that statement when Lio wasn’t present.
“But there are four of you,” Lio stated.
“Cami’s supposed fiancé contacted her a few days ago, making threats. I warned him off and mentioned McKenzie protection,” I said, again, somewhat honestly.
“Cami’s ex-fiancé is still chasing her?” Lio asked.
“I wouldn’t say he’s her ex. Cami never agreed to the marriage. She’s in a relationship with Brandy. There’s no blood tie between them. Brandy is my cousin on my mother’s side, and Cami and Tami are on Oscar’s. But Oscar was trying to force her to marry a guy called Millar Levitt. After I warned him away, he hinted he’d switched his attention. I got the impression he meant me.”
“And I gather this Millar Levitt is an acquaintance of your father?” Lio asked.
“Yes. An unsavoury one. He did not care Cami was a lesbian. He’s the type of man to think that a woman has no rights except to please him,” I replied.
“So, Levitt is one possibility. Can you think of any others?” Lio inquired.
I thought for a few moments and then shook my head.
“No. I’ve had a few dates that didn’t go anywhere. There was that biker who seemed to give me the eye during the attack, but other than that, nothing,” I answered.
I was stumped. Sure, Millar could be one stalker but a second? That didn’t make sense to me. I’d not really interacted with men since moving there, and there’d certainly not been anyone left behind at home.
“Nobody else?” Lio asked.
“No, sorry, I’m out of ideas.”
“Okay, well, if you think of anything, I hope you’ll bring it to the proper authorities,” Lio said with a sharp glance at Dane and Daithi.
They both sent him an innocent smile, and he rolled his eyes at them. Lio took his leave, and I gazed at my two brothers.
“Do you really think Millar is behind one of these?” I finally asked.
“Possibly. The man doesn’t like hearing no and the way he spoke about Cami… It was like she was his possession. Millar wouldn’t have liked losing her, that’s for sure,” Dane answered.
“No, and it’s highly probable he would switch his attention to you. He’d see his right to fuck his cousins as part of his marriage rights,” Daithi replied, and I wrinkled my nose. Disgusting, man.
“Over my dead body on both counts,” I snarled, and Dane grinned.
“There’s the McKenzie spirit,” he said.
I blew a raspberry at them, and they laughed.
“I’ve got work to do,” I hinted.
“So get on with it. Derek has someone coming to check security here, and they are already at your house. Riley and Brandy are dealing with them. Derek is escorting Cami and Tami here, so they are safe. I’ll wait here while Dane takes a walk around your building,” Daithi said.
“What, you’re going to sit there while I work?” I asked, surprised.
“Fuck yes. From now on in, you are not alone until we catch this threat,” Dane retorted so firmly there was no arguing with him.
“Fine, don’t blame me if you’re bored,” I exclaimed and opened my laptop.
Half an hour later, Cami and Tami popped in before heading to their respective areas. Each had an office on their own floor. Around midday, I was startled when the receptionist at the front of the building appeared carrying a big bouquet.
“These just arrived,” she announced with a sly grin and handed them to me.
I frowned at them and opened the card.
“Looked forward to dancing with you, next time, my love,” I read out loud and dropped the card.
