“Not yet. But I won’t hesitate if my life is in danger.”

CHAPTER 16

Roman

“It looks like my brothers are already here,” I said, pulling into my father’s driveway.

“Are you sure your father won’t mind that you brought me?”

“Trust me. He won’t mind.”

We climbed out of the car and stepped onto the porch. Placing my hand on the handle, I opened the front door.

“Hello, son.” My father walked into the foyer and hugged me.

“Hi, Dad.”

“And who is this beautiful woman?” A smile crossed his lips.

“Dad, this is Morgan Ashley. She’s a private investigator I hired to help with a case. Morgan, this is my father, Harrison Hamilton.”

“A private investigator, eh?” He smiled, shaking her hand. “It’s nice to meet you, Morgan.”

“You too, Mr. Hamilton.”

“Please, call me Harrison.”

Suddenly, a young, attractive woman entered the foyer with a wide grin.

“You must be Roman.” She threw her arms around me. “It’s so nice to meet you finally.”

“Thank you. And you are?”

“Son, this is Love McCallan, my girlfriend.”

Sighing, I walked into the living room and saw my brothers sitting on the couch, slowly shaking their heads.

“Pour yourself and Morgan a drink. We’ll be right back,” my father said.

“Looks like Love has a sugar daddy.” Morgan grinned.

“This is embarrassing.”

“Bro, she’s weird,” Parker said.

“Why does Dad think it’s okay to date someone that young? She’s thirty-five, Roman,” Julian said. “She’s four years older than us! And I thought he was joking when he introduced us to her as ‘Love.’ I thought it was just something he called her. God, I feel sick.”

“It won’t last.” I sighed, handing Morgan a glass of scotch.

“Dinner is ready. Everyone in the dining room,” my father said.

“This looks delicious.” Morgan smiled, sitting in the seat next to me. “Did you cook all this, Love?”

“Oh God, no. I don’t cook.” She weirdly laughed, and Morgan and I looked at each other.

“What is it that you do?” Julian asked her.

“I teach Yoga.”
