Kindle Notes & Highlights
“The real Bankston did everything in his power to make sure this deal with the Torres family went through. He blackmailed a woman into marriage. He’s having a kid he doesn’t even want just to prove he’s fit to take over The Black Flame Mafia. And now? All that was for nothing.”
Bankston was waiting. And when a DeLuca is waiting? It’s never good.
“Nah, D.” I set my glass down and turned to face him. “It means we make that little motherfucker regret ever breathing. We don’t just kill Neari. We dismantle him. Brick by brick.”
Vico “The Surgeon” Moretti. If you called Vico, it meant you wanted someone done dirty. Not a clean bullet to the head. Not a quiet disappearance. You wanted suffering.
“You should go. He’s in a terrible mood. Think 2020, when the world stopped, and so did his shipments.”
“So now you’re telling me you let some punk ass kid outmaneuver you? What’s next? You want me to believe the Easter Bunny pulled the trigger?”
Rich niggas be so extra.” I smirked. “And yet, here you are.”
“Is that if I ever find out you gave that nigga even an inch of leverage, I’ll burn his whole fuckin’ world down. And then?” His voice dipped lower, deadlier. “I’ll deal with you.”
“What? If they gon’ fight, they need to commit.” He took a sip of his drink and pointed at the screen. “That hesitation is how bitches get slept.”
“Glad you could finally join me. I’m Savant “Hades” Torres.” My blood turned to ice. The Boogeyman of the Cartel.
Then, he smiled. And that’s when I knew I was fucked. “Look at what your nigga made me do,” Hades murmured, voice deep and steady, too steady. “Had to come out of retirement because Bankston couldn’t keep his shit together.”
Hades smirked. “Just an FYI, sweetheart—I don’t give a fuck about killing kids either.”
Then, he said it. “They didn’t just take Aurmoni. They took Neari’s kid, too.”
Aurmoni was gone. Neari’s kid was gone. And whoever “they” were… I was on they ass.
And I was about to burn this whole fucking city to the ground to get her back.
“No one plays in the Black Flame Mafia’s face and lives to tell the story.”
I didn’t wait for approval. I didn’t need it. They took my woman. They took my unborn child. And now? I was about to take their fucking lives.
