“What the hell does this have to do with Lila?”

“After this guy refused to leave me alone, I hid in the bathroom and called Lila,” Rosa’s voice is thick with tears. “She texted me and said she was in an uber and would be here in twenty minutes, but that was over an hour ago. So, I went outside to try and see if she was waiting for me, and the guy who had been harassing me comes over and tells me that Lorenzo thanks me for all my help.”

I sink down into a leather armchair and run my shaking hands through my hair.

“He took her, Andre, and it’s all my fault,” Rosa cries.

“Send me your exact location, and we’ll come and get you.”

“I’m so sorry, Andre. I didn’t mean?—”

“We’ll discuss this later. Right now, finding Lila is my priority.”

Rosa sniffs on the other end of the phone before hanging up.

I glance at Marco, whose face has gone pale.

“He has her.” I ball my hands into fists. My entire body is shaking, but I try to push the rage down so I can think rationally.

I can’t afford to make any mistakes here, otherwise it may just cost Lila her life, if it hasn’t already.

Dez moves. “Let us go and collect Rosa.”

I shake my head.

“No, we all go. I need to see with my own eyes that she’s safe.”

Knowing that Xander let Rosa slip past him has severed all trust in my men when it comes to my sister.

“Andre…” Marco starts, but I shoot him a glare.

“It’s not up for discussion. We need to leave now.”

Every second that passes is a second too long that Lorenzo has Lila in his clutches. My stomach churns, and I fight the urge to vomit at the thought of what he might be doing to her.

As if Marco can sense where my thoughts are going, he places a hand on my shoulder and squeezes it hard.

“We’ll get her back.”

“I can’t lose her too,” I choke out.

“You won’t.” He nods. A promise. One he has no way of guaranteeing he can keep. “Dez, go get the car ready, we leave in five.”

“Yes, sir.” Dez disappears out of the room.

I punch the wall closest to me. “Fuck! How did he slip through like this?”

“We can worry about that later. Right now, we need to focus on making sure Rosa is safe and finding a lead on Lila. Only then can you let yourself focus on Lorenzo.”

Marco’s right. I’m wasting precious time.

I open up the hidden safe in the living room behind the TV and pull out enough weapons for all four of us. I don’t plan on playing any other way but dirty.

“Let’s go.” I tuck another handgun into the waistband of my pants as I head toward the elevator. I pull out my phone as we step inside and try to track Lila’s phone.

I look at Marco. “Rosa said Lila called an uber, right?”

“Yeah.”
