“As soon as we get to the warehouse, we pretend that we’re going to swap them out, and I’m going to tell them he has to meet me halfway. We need at least thirty men there, including three snipers and Damien. Call a few capos to bring in soldiers. I’m going to get Damien to shoot all of his soldiers, since he was a sniper before he was a bodyguard. He won’t know they are there. I’m going to send Damien out there first so he can give me an idea of where each soldier is at. We have to do a clean sweep and make it quick. I’ll kidnapped Cashel, throw him in the dungeon, and torture him to death. If Cashel finds out I’m going back on my word, he will kill Roselyn. We can’t trigger him. We’re going to get my wife back.”
Roselyn
Fear paralyzes me as I enter a room with a bed tucked in the corner room.
Cashel sits across from me at a small table, a bottle of Coke in his hand. He stares at me, and I stare right back. My heart hammers in my chest. If he tries to rape me like he threatened, I’m going to find a way to kill him. He creeps me the fuck out.
He has tattoos slithering up his arms. His facial expression is stoic as he eyes me up and down. “I can’t believe this bastard married a woman who looks like his ex. He’s still obsessed with Shelby.”
“He’s not obsessed with her,” I snap.
Even I don’t believe my own lie. He didn’t tell me he loved me back and he wouldn’t answer any of my questions. I fell in love with someone who doesn’t return my feelings. It hurt. It’s the worse feeling in the world.
He tilts his head to the side. “What?”
I should be scared of him, but I’m not. There is a knife sitting on the table, and when I get the chance, I’m going to stab him with it or the big bodyguard standing next to him.
“You heard me. He’s not obsessed with her,” I snap again. “Are you planning on killing me?”
He rubs his bottom lip. “No, you’re bait. But if my sister is dead, I’m going to torture the fuck out of you before I kill you.”
Bait? what th—
“What do you mean?”
“Don’t worry about it. You will see what I have in store for Cayden.”
A smile spreads across his face and a chill runs down my spine.
“Why would Devious have your sister?”
“Because I fucked his wife and he’s seeking vengeance on me.”
“Well. I don’t blame him. You should have kept your dick in your pants.”
“Listen to me carefully, Roselyn. You better watch your mouth, otherwise I’ll force you to suck my dick.”
“Do it, and I’ll bite it off. I’m not scared of you.”
He chuckles. “What are you, like five-eight? You think you can take out a six-foot-six man?”
Devious is six-seven and I tried to kill him, but I refrain from saying that.
“I’m five-six, I’m not scared of you. Mafia men don’t faze me.”
Someone knocks on the door. When he comes in, I take in the strawberry blond hair, and a pair of too familiar eyes looking back at me. I suck in the sharp breath as I stare at my papa.
“Papa?”
He waltzes up to me with a smug look on his face.
“You should have taken me up on my offer. I had you kidnapped by Terrance to get you out of the situation and into a better one, and you failed. You were always a disappointment to me.”
Shock colors my face. “You had me kidnapped?”
“He was your ticket out of that hellhole you claimed was so bad. Then I gave you one last chance of freedom, and you told me no. So Cashel is going to do what he wants with you. He’s going to kill Devious, and Cashel and I will gain control over his territory and I’ll be the don.”
“You would betray your ownfamigliafor territory?”
