Rounding the corner, we’re met with fire trucks and police cars.
“It’s a fucking shit show,” I growl as I look up at the flames licking from the windows. “Christ.”
“Boss!” I hear Emilio shout.
He comes running toward us with Vito right behind him.
When they’re closer, I ask, “How did it start?”
“Don’t know yet,” Emilio answers.
Vito moves in behind me, covering my back.
My eyes lift to the burning hotel, and I watch as months of work, and a fuck ton of money goes up in smoke.
“Go to the club, boss. I’ll stay and clean up the mess,” Emilio says. “It’s too dangerous for you out in the open like this.”
He’s right.
Nodding, I order, “Pay off whoever you have to. I want complete control of the situation.”
“I’ll handle everything,” he assures me.
I turn around, and when I stalk back to the SUV, Vito comes with us to offer extra protection.
Once we’re back in the safety of the armored SUV, Carlo asks, “Do you think it’s arson?”
“We won’t know until the inspection’s been done,” I reply, my tone harsh with anger.
If it’s arson, then someone’s attacking me.
Probably Miguel because I sent men to wipe out his family after the fuckers took Eden.
Fuck.
I pull my phone out and quickly dial Gerardo’s number.
It only rings once before he answers. “Boss?”
“Cancel the shopping trip for the women. I don’t want them leaving the house at all.”
“Okay.”
“Get Aunt Greta to contact her personal shopper to bring warm clothes for Gabriella.”
“Will do.”
“Keep my women safe,” I order.
“With my life, Mr. Falco.”
I end the call and stare at the device for a moment before I bring up the last number Miguel called me from. I press dial, and I’m not surprised when it says the number is not in service.
When we reach the club, I stalk inside and head straight for my private lounge. I gesture for Carlo to pour me a tumbler of whiskey.
I dial Tommy’s number, and when he answers, I mutter, “I want all available men in the streets. Kill every fucking drug dealer you can find.”
“Everyone?” he double-checks. “Not just Miguel’s men?”
