But what about after he saved me?
Out of the frying pan and into the fire, for sure.
My father picked up his phone and looked at a message. “He's here.”
Mario stood up, still fidgety. “Did he come alone?”
“He was alone when he came in the front door.”
“That doesn't mean none of his goons are around. You really think he's just gonna come straight here?”
My father’s glare turned on the only alpha son he had left. “Are you questioning my plan?”
I was questioning his plan, because if I knew Andro, he had connections just about everywhere. My father did not. Andro had resources my father couldn't even fathom.
Dad waved toward the door. “Go out and get him. Bring him here.”
Mario gave me a sneer and pressed the barrel of his gun to my temple. “This is going to be the last view you ever see.” He pressed it so hard I knew there would be a mark.
I didn't even bother meeting his gaze. He was nothing to me.
As soon as Andro was in the room, they’d either shoot him or shoot me. Probably both, I didn’t know for sure.
My father didn't even look at me in the few moments that we were left alone together.
And I had nothing to say to him. If he was waiting for me to beg for my life, he’d be waiting a long time.
There was a loud rap on the door, and the wood splintered.
My father cocked his gun. “Mario?”
The door flew open, and Mario’s body came with it, flying through the air. Then Andro walked in as if he hadn't just hurled my brother through a doorway like he weighed nothing.
My father whirled around. “You were supposed to come alone!”
Andro held up his hands. “Do you see anyone here with me?”
My father’s face was bright red, blood bursting below the surface of his crepey skin. “You don't have the upper hand here.”
Andro narrowed his eyes. “Sorta feels like I do.”
“Give me the money, and you can have your precious husband back.”
Andro didn't even look at me.
Ouch. I hung my head, knowing I deserved that. I felt so much regret for so many of my decisions. Did I really think I was going to make it on my own in the world? Maybe if I had gotten out of the city like Connor told me to, I could have. But even then, I would have missed Andro. How stupid I was to think I deserved more from him than what he was willing to give.
Andro scoffed as if that were funny. “You won't be getting any money from me, Santo.”
My father sneered. “I knew this wasn't a real mating. There's no way anyone could ever care for that omega enough to want to marry him. So what was the end goal, hmm? If there's not going to be any money, you surely won't care if I off him right now.” My father raised his gun and pointed it at me.
I let out a whimper as my stomach twisted. I was going to die. There was no way around it. “I'm sorry,” I said out loud. “I love you, Andro.”
I closed my eyes, waiting for the bullet to come.
There was a pop and some glass breaking, but no pain. Had he missed? What the fuck happened? I sucked in a breath and opened my eyes.
My father lay on the floor.
