“Tony,” he says on a sigh.

“Look, you guys don’t need to over react. I never told her anything, so their plan was complete shit anyway. Now I just want to forget anything ever happened with her and move on.”

They’re all quiet, their expressions both curious and worried.

“Seriously, let’s drop it. I’m not talking about this anymore,” I say, my tone hard. “Can we move on to the important stuff? What’s up? It’s pretty late, why did you ask me to come over?”

“They struck back,” Roman says, his expression immediately hardening.

“How?” I question through gritted teeth.

“Well, they burned down two of my Hemp farms,” Enzo replies, his jaw clenched.

“And they tipped off NYPD about that weapons delivery that’s meant to happen in a few days,” Michael states. “We’re going to have to stall it which will lose us some money.”

I curse under my breath.

“It’s nothing more than we expected,” Roman says. “Now we just have to consider our next moves as well.”

I lean back in my chair. If I’m being honest, all the manipulative backstabbing and warfare that’s been going on so far isn’t really my cup of tea. All I want is to kill Eduardo Mincetti but I won’t be able to get to him unless I’ve destroyed his family. Which is why I have to be patient.

It doesn’t matter how long it takes. I will get revenge for my mother.

CHAPTER12

Sophia

When there’s a family of criminals intent on destroying your family of criminals, it becomes imperative that you find a way to destress and find some semblance of calm. Which is why I decide to partake in one of my favorite past time activities. Clubbing.

Unfortunately, my favorite club buddy is still indisposed and is under strict orders from the doctor not do anything that could worsen his injury.

“I should still be there though,” Rico says over the phone.

“No,” I tell him. “Your hand is currently in a sling. How about you stay home and recover?”

I drop the phone on my dresser and place it on speaker, before starting to curl my hair.

“Still, I don’t like it when you go clubbing alone.”

“We both know I can take care of myself, Rico.”

“I’m not worried about you. I’m worried you’ll start a bar fight or break some dude’s arm.”

“That was one time,” I say defensively.

“Hmm. Who’s driving you there?”

“Albert,” I reply. “I would have driven myself but Papa’s been more strict these days and Albert has been shadowing my every move like a hawk.”

“You kind of deserve it,” Rico states.

“Shut up.”

“No, really. I can’t believe you slept with Anthony Legan. I mean he’s hot and all but you really took sleeping with the enemy to the next level.”

“I don’t want to talk about it,” I mutter, ignoring the slight pang in my chest at the mention of Tony.

“Sure, I get it. Just be careful tonight, all right? Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do unless I was coerced into it. And please use protection if you’re going to get with a guy.”
