CHAPTER 18
Dominic
M erda , I'd thought as I tailed my little sister, Serafina, my stupid little sister. I'd been following her like a damn shadow every day after work for a few weeks.
I had my suspicions about her and her boxing coach. But it wasn't until the night she jumped into his fucking car that I knew for sure.
How had I not seen it before? She was in love. And with him, of all people, Lucas Enriquez.
He claims to be just a boxer; the kind of guy who pretends to be noble and shit, but I know the truth. He may be able to fool everyone else, but not me.
I know about his real family, the type normal folks run away from.
A family just like ours. Another enemy hungry to get their hands on our city, I bet.
Only he pretends that he wants nothing to do with them.
So, I did what any good brother would. I'd confronted our mamma. I'd spilled the whole bitter pill.
I'll never forget the look in her eyes, a mix of fury and pain.
"Non preoccuparti, figlio mio," she said in avoice colder than ice,tellingme not to worry. "It's time to meet this boy."
I’ve dreamt of the day I would confront this asshole. And now, facing him head-on, he did not disappoint.
I see the recognition dawn on his face. I smirk as he exchanges a few words with the cute girl he was just boxing with and nudges her behind him before he walks up to me. I know he knows exactly who I am.
"Looking for someone?" He saunters towards me, unbothered by my presence.
"Yes," I raise an eyebrow in response. "You."
He halts just inches from me, a cocksure smirk on his lips. "Does Serafina know you're here?"
"No," I mirror his stance, defiantly crossing my arms.
His fingers dig into my suit jacket, his eyes blazing with fury. "What have you done to her?" I can't help but admire his boldness. Not many would dare lay a hand on me, knowing who I am and what my family controls. But this one has guts.
I pry his iron grip from me and roll my eyes, "She's fine."
Once he's settled down, I snap at him. "And if you want her to remain intact, it's time you meet the family. Be ready tomorrow, noon sharp."
