“Enjoy your new life, Easton. Styx and I will not allow anyone to take it away from you.”
I nodded, wanting nothing more than to have her in my arms. “I need to go. I don’t like this and I have a feeling you’re right that we’re in for a rocky ride.”
“We’ve handled worse.”
“Yeah, I know we have.”
I had a feeling our lives would never be smooth or easy, but if I had Sara in my life, at least I would have what I’d always wanted.
A family.
CHAPTER 27
Easton
Anger.
Predatory rage.
Fury.
I wasn’t certain which of the words was stronger than the other, but I felt them. My blood was pumping, the rush of adrenaline unlike anything I’d ever experienced. Except for the night we’d killed our father, ending his tyranny and his prison-like hold over us. Oddly enough, after all these years, it finally felt as if we were preparing to free ourselves of his shadow, his horrible legacy.
If only we survived whatever battle was being played out.
I knew my brothers very well. We’d developed safeguards years before regarding documentation on every aspect of business, locking down bank accounts so no one could find them. We’d encrypted our client list, which had added credibility and a trust factor to those who did business with us. They’d been warned to cut all physical ties, which I knew they would.
No one was stupid in our game of power.
The single thing that could lead to our imprisonment was if Creed hadn’t excavated the remains of the victims. I had to put my trust in the man.
Now it was about some damage control before going on the offensive.
But only if we could track down the asshole.
What the fuck were we missing?
I had difficulty believing we’d found nothing.
Between the three of us we’d found almost nothing to lead us to who was behind the threats. That meant the fucker had covered his tracks methodically, which must have taken years to plan. With all our resources across the world, our expensive technology, computer hackers, and people in law enforcement under our thumbs, the fact we couldn’t find one person in a sea of billions screamed we’d gone soft.
But in truth, it was what I preferred. I wanted a life and I was prepared to fight to the death to achieve it.
I’d called Sara twice, both times immediately going to voicemail, which meant she’d turned off her phone.
That also likely meant the fucker had sent her photographs as well.
I was almost at the house, trying to figure out what to say to her. Would she even believe me after everything she’d heard about my family?
Fuck.
“Fuck!” I bellowed and slammed my hand on the steering wheel as I made the turn into my neighborhood. I had a very bad feeling the explosion was ready to occur. As I zoomed into the driveway, another startling intuition rushed into me.
A dark feeling that everything was about to change.
I was in some kind of fog as I rolled up the aggregate path, braking to a hard stop. There was an SUV in the driveway, soldiers sent by Creed. I still had my weapon on the passenger seat but didn’t want to scare her any more than had already been done.
As I climbed out, I scanned the perimeter, noticing a fucking manila envelope positioned in front of the door. A single man headed in my direction, the soldier armed and ready to do what was necessary.
