Vincent laughs even more. “You wanna deny your heritage? Go right ahead. After today, you’ll be someone else’s problem. And I will have my territory back.”

I won’t lose hope that my family will find me. They would never give up. Never.

Vincent leads me into a grand ballroom. There are ten other men in the room, and each one looks meaner than the next.

“Vincent,” a man with a heavy Russian accent says.

“Ivan, it’s good to see you. I’m sorry to hear about what happened to your father.”

Holy fuck. That’s where I’ve heard the Koslov name. They came after the Mancini family and the Cimaruta MC helped them take care of it.

“Thank you. I assume our deal for Dimitri is still good? I know you made the deal with my father. But I am in charge now.”

“Yes, the deal is still good. This is Quinn, she will be Dimitri’s wife.”

Goon number one shoves me forward. And I get my first good look at Ivan and Dimitri. I wish I could say Dimitri is hideous. He’s not, but that doesn’t mean I would ever want to be with him. The only man I want is Jagger.

“She looks good, she will make a good wife for my brother.”

Dimitri steps forward and takes me from Goon number two. There’s something dark in his eyes that I don’t like.

“We will sit down tomorrow and discuss your territory,” Ivan says to Vincent.

“Thank you, we can meet here at 10 am.”

“We will be here.”

Now I’m starting to panic. I can’t leave with these people. Right as I’m about to break down, I hear a crash from somewhere in the house. Dimitri yanks me to the side as they head to the door. As Ivan yanks the door open, I see a familiar face. Before Dimitri can grab me again, I run towards Salvatore and launch myself at him. He grabs me, then Celestino Bastianini steps in and points a gun at Ivan.

Ivan puts his hands up.

“Take the girl and let us go.” Ivan stares at Celestino.

“Did they hurt you?” Salvatore asks.

“No. I’m okay. No one hurt me,” I say to him.

Salvatore nods and steps in front of me.

“If you come after Quinn again, there will be no second chance,” Sal says to him.

“Understood,” Ivan says to him.

Everyone steps back and lets Ivan, Dimitri and their men walk past us. We look inside and see some of the Mancini men preventing Vincent from running. He’s the one that needs to go away.

“He was trading me for his territory,” I say to Celestino.

“Oh fuck that. Vincent is going to pay for this.”

“Let’s get you home,” Salvatore says. “Celestino, you guys take Quinn home. My partner, Mack, is on his way so we can take Vincent in. My guys will stay and help me.”

“Okay. We’ll see you back at Jagger’s place when you’re done.”

I hug Salvatore. “Thank you for saving me. All of you.”

“You’re family, Quinn. Don’t ever doubt that.”

Jagger
