Page 29 of Her Dream Mafia Daddy

She thought of Eamon as her world turned black. She hoped he would find her.

Chapter 13

Eamon

Fuck.

Today sucked ass. Nothing was going right with his business, and nothing made sense. Why were all these things happening? Something was up, and he hated that he couldn’t figure it out. None of the supply issues made any sense at all.

He was in the kitchen getting a drink when Kiera came barreling in, screaming. He looked at her, his eyes going wide as he took her in. Blood covered her from head to toe. She was shaking, screaming, seemingly lost.

Grabbing a cold towel, he came over and kneeled in front of her.

“Hey, hey. You’re ok now. You’re safe. Shhh.” He cleaned her face as her screams quieted and turned to gut-wrenching sobs.

“D-Daddy was s-shot and, and Connor and Ryan. So much blood. D-Daphne is g-gone. Everyone is gone. I’m all alone.”

“Shhhh. You’re safe now. We will figure out what happened.”

“Daddy!” she wailed.

“Hey there, Little Bit. I’m here.”

Liam stood there before him, his shirt soaked through. Kiera ran to him and launched herself into his arms, sobbing loudly.

“Daddy! I thought you were dead! There was so much blood.” She cried as he rocked her gently in his arms.

“You’re ok, it’s all going to be ok. I was shot, but I was shot in my shoulder. So we called Dr. Dan and he’s going to come and patch me up. Do you remember Genevieve getting us and bringing us up here?”

“N-no. I just ‘member there being so much blood and then I was here, and I needed to get to Uncle Eamon cause he would fix things. I was so scared.”

By this point, everyone was in the kitchen: Freya, Genevieve, Kellan, Finnean, Rory, and every guard they had on the estate.

Dr. Daniel ran in, taking a quick survey of the room before helping Liam to his office. Kiera followed closely behind, her sobs echoing in the halls. Poor girl was going to need therapy. He would make sure he found the best of the best to help her through this. Someone who understood the lifestyle and was trauma informed.

“Ok. Ok.” He sat on one of the stools at the kitchen island. “Who is dead?”

“Connor and Ryan were the two highest-ranking soldiers. There were four others under them: Liam, Matt, Mike, and Roy. No civilians were injured. It was an attack just on us.” Finnean held up his hand as he got a call and put it on speaker. “You’re on speaker with pretty much everyone. Report. Now.”

“Boss. Six dead. All ours. I pulled surveillance, and it looks like a blonde woman I don’t know approached her first. When she ran to the street, she was pushed into a van that was driven by Callum. The good news is that it appears she is still alive and her tracker that we put in her ponytail tie has not been discovered and is working. We are tracking her now. I have a whole team of men following. We will try to intercept if it is safe. We will take who we can alive, but, with your permission, Daphne is our priority.”

“Yes. Try to keep everyone alive, but your priority is Daphne. If you cannot intercept, figure out where they are going, pull back, and we will come up with a plan to get her out. But hear me clearly, I want Daphne alive. And Callum, too, if at all possible. Just remember we don’t harm women or children unless absolutely necessary.”

“Even the blonde?”

“Even the blonde. I will figure out who she is and make her pay in other areas. I may not physically harm her, but that doesn’t mean I won’t make her life miserable for fucking with what is mine.”

“Got it, boss. I’ll call back with an update ASAP.”

Eamon stood up and paced the kitchen, running his hands through his hair. He couldn’t think clearly but he knew he had a team of men who would stop at nothing to bring Daphne home to him. People were going to die and it would be slow and very fucking painful. First, he had to make sure Liam and Kiera were taken care of.

“Freya, would you please go check on Kiera and stick close to her today. If I need you to, please take her to the safe room.”

“Of course, Eamon.” Pausing at the door, she turned to him. “Please bring Daphne home to us.”

“I will. I promise I will.”

Turning to everyone else, he said “Send out an alert to everyone on property. Tell everyone to hunker down where they are. Nobody leaves until I give the clear.”
