“Every one of those bitches is connected tohim. That littleroachthat keeps getting in my damned way!” Enzo’s voice never changes pitch or volume, but somehow it becomes barbed and lethal when he speaks.
Something about the way he can glare daggers at the person he speaks to, that seems to inflict actual physical damage, issomething I have never understood and have also never quite learned how to master yet for myself.
This whole war is wrong, but I know that I can’t say that to him.
He wouldn’t listen anyway.
I think that some part of him knows that I don’t support this war, and that I haven’t fully supported his choices in a while now.
Maybe this is all just another test that he’s putting me through.
He’s probably just trying to push me to see where I will break and what the final straw will be that makes me defy him.
That day will come, I am certain, when I will no longer be his obedient son, and I will become one more name on his ever-growing list of enemies.
I don’t know which one of us will survive that day either.
“Care to explain to me why only one of them is dead, instead of both?” Enzo broke the silence, expecting an explanation from me that I just don’t have.
“I have men on the way to the airport to intercept her as soon as her plane lands.” I answer through my gritted teeth.
Enzo smirks. “Oh, good. For once we are on the same page about something, son.”
He lifts a hand and condescendingly pats me on the cheek.
“I want you to ensure that there are no more fuck ups on this job. I want you to personally go to the airport and pick up the young Levine bitch, and I want you to bring me her head. I will have her stuffed and mounted and pictures sent to that meddling twat of a brother of hers before the day is finished.”
Just the idea of doing what he asked of me makes my stomach roil.
It is not because I am not capable of great violence, but this girl didn’t do anything to deserve the horrible, depraved things that I know that my father would do to her.
Not to mention, it is a damned insult to send me out on a petty wet work job when I’m supposed to be getting groomed to take over as the head of the family.
“Unless you think that you can’t handle it? Son?” Enzo continues, his thin lips curling up into a devious smirk.
“Consider it done.”
It’s the only answer he would accept anyway.
CHAPTER THREE
KATYA
The Next Day
No matter how many times I tell Alexei that his security isn’t half as good as he thinks it is, he never seems to listen to me.
Granted, I do have talent when it comes to sneaking around in places where I am not supposed to be, but he doesn’t have to make it so damned easy for me.
He’s supposed to have a state-of-the-art security system that pairs with a rotation of loyal as hell guards marching around his complex day in and day out - and yet, here I am hacking into his system and walking through the front door like I own the place.
Honestly. I was able to disable his entire mainframe with anappon myphone.
Criminal. Literally and figuratively.
I warned him that my computer engineering degree would come in handy, and I absolutely plan to rub that little fact in his face when he starts turning red with rage for me being here.
He should be thanking me for fixing the holes in his security after I turned everything back on.
