Silence greets me at first—so thick, I suffocate on it.
“Fia? Where are you?”
Silence. Until…
“Mama! Mama!”
“Fia, I’m coming!”
Running toward her voice at full speed, I make it only a short distance before I register pain in the back of my head and collapse on the ground, the world around me spinning.
I don’t know what happens next, because everything goes black.
CHAPTER 46
FIONN
The buzzingin my head grows.
Something’s fucking wrong. I called Amara to find out when she’s getting Fia, but she never answered, even after my texts.
Roy hasn’t, either.
“Did you call Roy again?” I ask one of our guys.
My brothers are at my house with me after we left our meeting early.
“He’s still not answering.”
FUCK!
I try her again, but the phone keeps going to voicemail.
“We’re tracking her, sir,” he tells me.
She has no idea that her wedding band has an embedded device that gives me her location.
“Hurry the hell up!” I pound a fist on the wall in the foyer.
If Roy is somehow involved, he’s dead.
“I just got the security cams from the restaurant.” Cillian marches up, holding his cell.
The video plays, and she’s there, rushing out into her car from the back.
Ice fills my veins.
She drove off. Is she running from me?
No. She wouldn’t do that. Things between us have been good, and she’d never go without Fia.
“The preschool just said she called to ask about Fia,” Tynan adds. “They told her Fia was picked up an hour ago by a Desdemona.”
“That bitch! I should’ve killed her when I had the chance.”
“We’re gonna find them both.” Tynan clasps a palm on my shoulder, and I nod, my entire body tight with rage.
“Sir, we know where she is.”
