Page 72 of Always Yours

Once night falls, we have everything in place. Everyone is geared up, and we are making our way to Alessandro and Matteo’s safe house.

Just like Katrina had said, there were guards all over the place. We have a lot of manpower to do this; the club is here, plus my brothers grabbed some men they knew were loyal to them. They had been building relationships for the day they took over from our father. There was a lot of people in the city who wanted to see these two men fall.

When I asked about Matteo’s father and mother, they said he had killed them to gain power. They said that Matteo only rules by fear, just like our father.

Fear can only get you so far, and they are both about to see that.

We take out the guys on the outer perimeter quietly as we make our way to the house.

We are coming at them from all sides since we don’t want a chance of any of them escaping.

The guards are barely paying attention which is stupid. They are supposed to be on duty and guarding them, but they don’t even see us coming as we grab each one and slit their throats.

I shake my head at their weakness.

“He’s so fucking stupid,” I grumble.

When I look through the back window, I see Katrina tied to the table naked as my father says something to Matteo that has him grinning.

Their clothes are on, but Matteo starts to undo his pants.

“Oh hell no,” I mutter as I walk in like it’s just another day.

“Well, I’m glad I didn’t get stuck with that small dick,” I say in greeting with a fake smile.

“Lilianna?” They both say at the same time with shock on their faces.

“Miss me?” I say with a smirk.

Matteo gives me an evil grin and my father looks pissed. “How did you find us here?”

“You wanted me to come home, father. That’s just what I did,” I say sweetly, blinking at him with an innocent expression.

“How did you find us?” he shouts in rage.

I tsk in disappointment. “You really should watch how you speak to me. After all, you took people I love just to have me back and, well, here I am. Surprise!”

“You should have come back sooner. When we had that fool, Nick. I thought for sure we would see you when I got rid of his parents just so you would come back,” my father says darkly.

“That didn’t really work out so well, did it?” I say with a wince.

I’m keeping them distracted so that our men can get rid of the rest of the guards before my brothers make their appearance.

“You should know that no one runs from this family,” my father spits out.

“And what? I should have stayed and married this small-dicked asshole?” I ask, giving Matteo a disgusted look since his cock is still out.

“Everyone has obligations to this family, and you turned your back on that,” my father says.

“Like your sons? Was it their obligation to this family that you drugged them like a coward before locking them up?” I ask, raising an eyebrow at him.

“They were my leverage to get you back. Once I knew that they had hidden you from me for all these years, it couldn’t go unpunished,” he says in a rage.

“You are a weak excuse for a leader and a man. That’s the reason the only person still loyal to you is this fuckhead because no one else would blindly follow such stupidity,” I snap at him.

“How was it stupid? It got you here? We had the bomb set off just to take that man of yours. We had paid some poor sap to get the job done. We wanted you, but my men couldn’t get to you in time,” Matteo says with a smirk.

Rage fills me with his words. He has put my club through hell. He will pay for this.
