It takes me a minute to snap out of it before I race after her, she peers over her shoulder at me and her eyes go wide at the sight of me stalking toward her. The dirty little witch darts into the living room where Chance is knowing that I won’t do anything in front of him to risk blowing my cover. But, I do follow after her to make sure he keeps his hands off my new toy.
“Fuck!” His outburst has her freezing on the spot, I use it to my advantage and slip past her but make sure to brush against her side as I do so, the gasp that comes from her has a smirk crossing my face. “Get me that fucking drive now!” He shouts then tosses his phone across the room where it smashes to pieces against the wall.
“What happened?” The fake concern in Chaos’s tone is award worthy, Chance continues to let expletives free before he finally spins around to face Chaos.
“A USB is being delivered, when it arrives, bring it to me in my office. There’s another body, the cunt doesn’t know where I am so he dumped the bodies elsewhere.”
“But you said reinforcements are coming, we should be fine right?” Chance nods stiffly but doesn't elaborate further as he stalks past Chaos and shouts for Dalton to meet him in his office. Chaos looks at me and I nod, he leaves the room so he can disappear to the basement to listen in on the conversation Chance is about to have. This whole house is bugged except for Erika’s room. I was supposed to plant a bug yesterday but I couldn’t. I don’t want Sin or the others hearing me fuck her. Speaking of, I turn to face the woman herself but she’s already rushing from the room.
Fuck her, I got bigger shit to deal with then worry about her moody ass.

An hour later the USB is delivered, Chance orders Dalton, Chaos and Erika to follow him into his office. I attempt to go with them but he refuses me entry and tells me to go watch the gate. It grates on my fucking nerves for this cunt to think he can order me around but I bite my tongue and do as I’m told. Not five minutes after I reach the gate does my phone begin to vibrate, I assume it’s Sin or Havoc as I pull it out of my pocket but it isn’t, it’s Luka, I accept the call and bring it to my ear.
“What happened?” I bark.
“They didn’t need rescuing.”
“What the fuck do you mean?” I grit out.
“Your father and uncles are on a plane back to New York, Carlo caught wind of the attack on your family and owed Vincent one.”
“Fuck.” I scrub a hand down my face, my dad being out is going to fuck with my plans. “I need you to keep him busy in New York, I’m so close to ending this shit here and taking Chance and Emilio both out.”
“Why do this on your own, your father can help you–.”
“Because he needs to fucking see I can do this without him.” I hate to admit that shit aloud but it’s the truth, as much as I talk a big game the truth is I want Bishop to see I can do this shit and do it better than him.
“He knows you can, just get it done because your mother will tell him where you are. It’s been fucking hell keeping those women in place, they have wounded nine men trying to escape and the only reason all nine are alive is because Clare saved them.” I snort out a laugh.
“She’s a vet.”
“I fucking know, Royal. Get this shit done and fast or I’m gonna be the one getting stitched up by my fucking sister while her husband laughs his ass off.” He ends the call the second I start to laugh. No sooner have I hung up from him does my phone begin to ring again, when I see it’s Sin I accept the call.
“What is it?” I breathe out.
“Get your ass in that fucking house, now!” The worry in her tone has me stiffening.
“Why?”
“They have a gun on Chaos because of your bitch, save him now or I’ll kill them all!” I’m already racing toward the house before she can finish speaking. We're not gonna be able to wait four days at this rate. It’s time to come clean, I’m about to fuck shit up and kill Chance for touching my cousin and… her. I burst through the front doors and follow the sounds of a commotion, down the right corridor where my office is. The door is open and I rush through to see Chaos on his knees with two guys holding them there with a hand on each of his shoulders and a gun to the back of his head.
“Fucking bitch.” Chance screams as he kicks Erika who is in a fetal position on the ground, I see red. I draw my gun ready to put a bullet in Chance’s fucking head for touching her, again until his next words have me freezing. “You’re a fucking rat! You’ve been leaking information to them this whole time.” Is she a mole for the cartel?
“She can’t fucking talk, how is she going to be blabbing to anyone you jackass.” Chaos shouts.
“What the fuck is going on?” I roar drawing all their attention to me, Chance points to Erika’s quivering frame on the ground as he speaks.
“Lock her fucking ass in her room, I don’t want to see her fucking face until we meet Emilio tomorrow.” I keep my face blank of all emotion as I ask.
“What about him?” He looks to Chaos and nods to the guards to release him.
“Don’t ever intervene when I discipline my fiancée again.” Chaos grits his teeth and nods stiffly before storming out of the room and shoulder checking me on his way out. I can’t blame him for being pissed, I know this shit needs to end. I gather Erika into my arms and lift her gently, she wraps her arms around my neck and buries her face in the crook of my neck. Chance eyes me warily but I ignore it as I storm out of the room and head upstairs, once we’re inside her room I kick her door shut and march over to her bed. I try to put her down but she clings to me tighter, after the second attempt at putting her down I give up and sit on the edge of her bed with her molded to me.
The fact I want to wrap my arms around her and promise to kill that cunt downstairs for touching her tells me I need to put space between us. If I feel this protective over her after only a couple days then I can only imagine how I would feel after a few weeks or months with her by my side. I force myself to drop my hold on her, Chanel’s right. Erika Martinez doesn’t exist which means this girl that is occupying too much fucking time in my head is a liar. Last night after I left her, I texted Havoc to dig deeper and find out whatever the fuck he could on her. She has to have a file, everyone does.
With that thought in mind I reach up and untangle her arms from around my neck ready to push her off me but when a pained hiss escapes her I stop, instead of pushing her away like I should have, I find myself shuffling up the bed until my back rests against the headboard while she nestled against my chest and holds me tighter, Jesus Christ.
