“That’s not going to happen, and no, you didn’t fuck up. Collin will think twice about hurting him knowing he’s his son,” Mason says.

“He’s completely unhinged. I don’t…I don’t know what he’s capable of.”

He finished bandaging my hand but keeps holding it. It’s a soothing gesture.

“I should tell you that Charlie knows Collin is his dad. He asked me outright and I couldn’t lie to him.”

A tear rolls down my cheek and Mason wipes it away.

“I should’ve told him the truth already. Hell, I should’ve told you a long time ago.”

“We’ll deal with it together. No matter what happens,” he promises. “Collin is not going to destroy what we’re building.”

I believe him, because the alternative is not something I can deal with. Believing him gives me hope that I may finally get a happy ending.

Collin

Knowing I have a son changes everything. The life I planned to have with Davina is over. She kept my son from me. Let my brother raise him. Hell, she named him after Charles. She’s dead to me.

But my son is very much alive and deserves to know his father. When I become president, he’ll follow in my footsteps. I won’t deny him his right the way my brother did me.

“The moment you get a chance to take them out, do it. Let me know when it’s done.”

I’d considered doing it myself but that would’ve taken me away from here and I couldn’t risk it. Munsey and Taylor won’t see it coming. Besides, I’ll be doing him a favor by putting him out of his fucking misery.

Mason

Ikeep a close watch on Davina as she works. She’s better now. My girl is strong, always has been. We’ll get through this. We have to. She flashes me a smile over her shoulder, rolling her eyes when my gaze drifts to her sweet ass. One more hour. My phone buzzes in my pocket and I fish it out, seeing that it’s Munsey.

“Yeah,” I answer.

“We’ve got a fucking problem,” he says.

“The shipment?”

“Taj fucking tried to kill me and Taylor, man. He’s with The Harvester.”

“Shit. You two okay?”

“We’re good. Little bruised and shaken up, but good. He was acting funny after he got a phone call. I’ll text you the number that called him.”

“Can we track it?”

“You can try but it’s probably a burner. What do you want me to do with Taj?”

“Get any info you can from him, then kill him.”

“Do you want me to come back?”

“Finish the delivery. We can handle things here.”

“Taj can’t be the only one he has on the inside. We need to check out the other prospect, too. Any disgruntled former members. He mentioned it was time for The Harvester to take his rightful spot as president.”

“Let me know if you get anything else out of him.”
