“Now, I’m not going to ask you again. How do you know about Lila?”

I step close to Marco until our noses are practically touching, but there’s no fear in his eyes.

We’re evenly matched, but that doesn’t stop me from putting him in his place when he needs reminding of who’s in charge.

“I saw the emails to Kyle when I was having him look into Sergio.”

“You went through my emails?”

“I used your computer at the penthouse the other week when I contacted Kyle. I didn’t realize they were part of a chain.”

“And you didn’t realize you were emailing him from my account?” I tighten my grip on Marco, fighting the urge to beat the shit out of him for invading my privacy like that.

Marco scoffs. “I was more concerned with the information on Sergio rather than what address was being used, Andre.”

“There was no need for you to go back through those messages.”

“I thought you were hiding something from me, and it’s clear you have been. You’ve been acting weird, like you’re a grenade about to explode at any second.”

“I am not required to share everything with you.” I push him against the car before releasing my grip.

I take a step back, running my hands through my hair.

“You are when it causes you to make potentially idiotic decisions. You’re sending us into a shootout with Lorenzo because you’re throwing a tantrum. Let me guess, she didn’t call you back?”

My gun is out in an instant, and I click the safety off.

Marco only grins at me, holding his hands up in mock surrender.

“You’re like a dog marking his fucking territory. It’s pathetic,” Marco spits out.

“You don’t know anything about it, and I suggest this is the last time you bring it up unless you want me to put a bullet in your skull.”

“Fucking hell, Andre. I’ll drop it.” Genuine concern flashes in his eyes. “But seriously, you need to get control over this situation, quick, before you do something stupid.”

It’s too late for that.

“Get in the car.” I pocket my gun.

Marco is silent on the ride over to the club.

My mind feels even more chaotic as I navigate the busy New York streets.

The fact that Marco could so easily access information about Lila… The more people who know about her means the more risk to her life.

I know I would never break under interrogation by Lorenzo if he ever managed to get his hands on me, but Marco or Kyle or even Dr. Waite?

I can’t risk any more people knowing, especially now that she’s pregnant.

I want to trust my brother. I really do. And under normal circumstances, I wouldn’t question him. But something about Lila and this baby makes me not see straight.

I’m hoping I can clear my head by taking out a few of Lorenzo’s men, reminding him that we’re not to be messed with.

We park a few streets over from The Vault.

Jerry, Dez, and Sloan are already waiting for us, and they climb into the back of the Hummer as we discuss the plan.

Jerry looks at me. “I don’t think the place opens until ten.”
