My brother gets close to me. "Did you speak to M. Lafond?"
My jaw ticks. "Yes."
This is how my family operates. When we hire outside forces to supply intel, we run it by each other. I keep my encrypted phone on me at all times to alert them of my moves. It's the circle of trust my father established when he ushered us into the business when we were teenagers.
Gianluca pours me a fresh glass of scotch. "Smart. You can invite him to the penthouse we're purchasing on the Upper East Side next week. We can meet him."
I take another sip of scotch. "That's the plan."
That's when the scared voice cries out.
"Ouchie!"
Everything in my grinds to a halt.
I set my scotch down and hop off the barstool. I strain my ear toward the sound and take deep breaths to calm myself.
There's something…differentabout this voice. Something special and unique that I must learn about.
Whoever spoke is clearly in distress, and I must make sure he's okay.
My eyebrows rise. "I'll be right back."
I rush toward the sound.
That's when I spot the most beautiful boy I've ever seen.
