CHAPTER 29
He watched on the screen as they all fell for his plan. The man beside him laughed softly.
“Fucking idiots,” he whispered.
With a shake of his head, he motioned for the other man to remain still. They were too close to ending this. Too close to stopping the shadows that haunted them for years.
It was time to take down Bruno Conti once and for all.
But first, they had to secure the building.
“Ring the alarm,” he told the other man.
A sigh and then, “I don’t know if this’ll work. What if it wakes them up? And the fire department coming in?”
“They won’t because you’re not ringing the fire alarm you fucking imbecile!” His anger took hold of him, making him lash out against the one person he didn’t want to upset.
Much like himself, his brother had a temper. If the two of them fought, they’d never get to finish what they’d started. They’d never get the revenge they were owed.
“Don’t be mean to me. I gave up everything to help you. Everything to make sure you got what you wanted.”
His brother had done just that. Despite him hating Bruno as well, the true problem was his own. The ties he’d once built to the Gilded Ones were supposed to protect him and his brother. They were meant to make them stronger. To make them invincible and nearly invisible.
Yet they hadn’t.
While his brother had moved past his frustration with Bruno and the history there, he hadn’t. He remembered all the nights hearing the sadness as his brother questioned why his foster parents didn’t love him and why Bruno mattered so much more.
The fact that he couldn’t give a good enough answer at the time bothered him to the point of needing his own revenge.
And now they were going to get it. As soon as they evacuated the skeleton staff of the building, they’d be able to show Bruno just how karma worked.
