Cosa chuckles. “Isn’t that how this relationship works, old friend? You do something for me, I’ll do something for you.”
The Senator has some balls on him to talk to Albert like that. If it wouldn’t get my ass kicked later, I’d probably laugh.
“Spit it out, Cosa,” Albert snaps.
“Jimmy marries the girl.”
Excuse me, what?
Albert purses his lips and looks thoughtful. When he doesn’t immediately say no, a sick feeling starts in my stomach.
I turn to Nico but he has already started moving forward, violence written all over his face.
I signal Alec and together, we grab his arms, forcing him back.
Cosa looks over at us with a sinister grin. Fucker. Jimmy probably told him about Christina’s relationship with both of us. I swear, if he’s doing this to fuck with us as payment for Jimmy having to go to the hospital after Nico beat the shit out of him….
They both need to die. Father and son. Sometimes family trees rot and whole branches have to be pruned. This is what’s happening here.
I almost let Nico loose when he cocks an eyebrow, turning on his heel to ignore us and grin at Albert, “Like I said, Jimmy wants the girl. You want this over. That’s what I’m offering.”
He makes a point to offer an exaggerated shrug, as if suggesting he doesn’t know what he’s doing.
Fucking prick.
“Surely we have a deal?” He says.
Albert eyes his outstretched hand and sighs. He doesn’t even bother to look apologetic as he takes it.
“Deal.”
Nico struggles against us, his face turning almost purple with rage. I look over his head at Alec.
If we let him go, he will kill the senator, or his father.
“Do it,” Alec mouths, grunting as Nico throws an elbow.
“I’m sorry, Brother,” I whisper, before lunging and putting Nico in a wrestler's choke hold.
He gasps and gurgles, drawing Albert and Cosa’s attention. His struggles test the very limits of my strength but, after several long minutes, I feel his body start to fall limp.
“He’s out,” Alec says, helping me drag Nico into the office. We’re definitely going to have to answer to Albert for that little scene. Shit.
“Guard him, don’t let him out of this room. Taze him if you have to,” I tell Alec as I head out to intercept Albert.
I fully expect him to be waiting for me but, to my surprise, the taillights of Albert’s SUV are leaving the compound.
What the fuck?
Mario and Tommy are guarding the door but everyone else has already left.
“Boss says you’re to come straight home once you’re squared away with Nico,” Tommy says.
I nod at him and run a hand through my hair.
Albert has to know. He has to know how important Christina is to us. We’ve been with her in public. We’ve claimed her.
Is this punishment? Is this a way of asserting his dominance?
