Teagan POV.Looking at my aunt and uncle as they move towards me. The tears fall. I try to stand and my father helps me stand just as my aunt wraps me in her arms and my uncle wraps his arms around us both.“I’m so sorry for not telling you. I’m so fucking sorry we didn’t get to you in time.” She says in between sobs and I sob onto her shoulder.“It’s ok, I’m ok.” I say more to myself than her. I know I should be pissed, but I can’t be. She was protecting me. She is my family. I suppose everyone in this room is. She pulls back and moves as my uncle comes into view.“I was so fucking scared when I took you out of there.” My eyes widen and I knew I recognised that voice when I got into the helicopter.“It was you? You got me out?” I need clarification, and he nods his head.“Yeah sweetie, it was me. Thank you, by the way, for watching my back when I got you out.” He smiles at me and I smile back. That’s right, I shot three men as he ran with me.I move back and look at my uncle and then
Teagan POV.All three of their heads snap up and I blow out a breath as I watch all three. Carmella is screaming to be let go, Langton looks ready to piss himself and Gianni. well, he is the calmest of the three.I watch as my dad steps forward, but José stays by my side.“Alejandro, let me go. Baby, whatever it is, we can make it work.” Carmella shrieks out like a damn banshee. I watch as my dad ignores her and moves towards Langton, watching him before he moves to Gianni.“Baby, please!” she shouts, but he just chuckles, shaking his head.“I am not your baby. Did you honestly think I would allow you, a whore, to be my woman? There is only one woman I want, and she isn’t you. You are delusional to have believed that. But you did come in handy, especially to my men. I will say this Carmella, you played your role well, but not well enough.” He tells her and I just sit there watching. She sobs, hanging her head.“Tell me Carmella. Did you achieve what you set out to do?” he asks her, an
Antonio POV.It has been six months since the cartel took her and we have not been able to find her or Gianni. I can only assume Gianni is dead and, well, Teagan is with her father, no doubt planning another attack. The compound has been repaired and security has been upgraded. I have recruited more men, but the mansion is still too quiet.Lucifer has not left my side, and I know he is missing her, just like I am. Once word got out that the heir to the DeNucci family had been taken, the other families joined in the search, even the Bratva joined in the search.So far nothing, we have scoured all of Mexico and Sicily but nothing. It is like they have fled the damn planet.Since the attack, I have dismissed all the whores from my service and got myself clean and become stronger. During the day I’m kept busy but the nights are the longest. Her scent is no longer in the mansion and so it is hard to shut off. I know she will be safe with her father but still I would give anything to see he
Teagan POV.Seeing him again has stirred up old feelings. I mean, how can they not? I’m pregnant with his twins. Yes, bloody twins. A boy and a girl. It was a shock, to say the least. Even though I know they are a blessing, it doesn’t mean this pregnancy has been easy going. The amount of times I have bled is unreal. But they are determined to stay with me. My babies are little fighters.As we drive away from the compound, I give a scathing look to José. The bastard had to go and do what he did. It threw me for a damn loop. I know it stirred jealousy in him and Antonio. But really, I’m no-ones fucking pawn in this shit show.“Did you have to go that far?” I ask him as he smirks at me before pouting his lips. I look at Marco and he is one of a few people I trust. That is why I have been in touch with him. My father thinks I don’t know his plan. Well, he is fucking wrong. So I had Simon reach out to Marco and told him what I needed him to do and why, and he agreed.The week timeframe fo
Antonio POV.It has been two hours since Teagan left with Marco and Lucifer. I’m sat in my office with Alonso when my phone dings with a new message. I open it and see a message from Marco and an attachment. I open it and smirk to myself as I read it.“What has got you smiling like a cheshire cat?” Alonso asks and I show him the phone and he reads it and looks at me in shock.“This is her plan. To bring them down using the families?” I smile, nodding my head. I always knew she was smart, but this. This is something no-one has ever been able to do. Not even me. I suppose it helps with her being a DeNucci.The DeNucci family is one of the oldest originating from the old country and they were feared, respected and loved. Teagan’s great grandfather was the best Don there was. He brought peace to the families until he died and his son Gerald took over. Then it went to shit. Certain families took advantage, and it was their downfall.Teagan is taking her rightful place and will unite the fa
Teagan POV.When we arrived back at my compound, I head straight to my room. As I walk through the mansion, I hear voices coming from the living room. I walk well, waddle forward. I stop as I hear the voices of my father and Carlos.“Will he be a problem?” I listen to my father ask Carlos and I wait for his response.“No, it will gut him to have seen her with José. With his nonna sick, he will bend to your will.” My eyes widen. Carlotto is sick? How?“Good, but if she dies you do realise he will lose it completely?” my father says with a chuckle.“Antonio has always doted on her. She will die soon. I made sure of it when I was giving her the poison. He will fall and when he does, the Moretti territory will be yours and then we can flood the streets with your product and weapons. What do you plan on doing with Teagan?” Carlos asks, and I can hear the pleasure in his voice.“She thinks she is in control, but she isn’t. I still hold those strings. She will do as she is told, especially i
Teagan POV.The following day I went to my father and told him I wanted to celebrate the downfall of the Moretti’s and he agreed to it all. I hate looking at the monster he has become. All of this was never because of my mom. It was because he can. He abandoned me and set his twin brother up to take the damn fall. Loose ends, I suppose, well tonight I will be tying them up.“Everything is ready.” Marco tells me and I smile at him as my father saunters into the dining room with José and Carlos behind him. He kisses my head as we walk to the head of the table. I just sit drinking my juice as I watch him give his order for his meal.“You are glowing Teagan, pregnancy suits you,” he says and I smile at him and caress my bulging belly.“Thank you, daddy. It suited mom too. I can’t wait to hold them for the first time.” I say with a giggle as I look at him through my lashes. And he sneers before he smiles as I lift my head.“I bet they will be beautiful like their mommy, man I can’t believe
Teagan POV.I enter the garden, and the families are all mingling, drinking and eating their fill. What they are eating and drinking is safe. It is only the men that work for my father that are eating and drinking what I want them to. A poison that will take effect in a few hours. A slow release. I watch and greet the heads of different families.I watch as men and women enjoy themselves. Even my father is having fun. Do I feel guilty that he will die tonight? I would be lying if I said yes, but part of me isn’t.I think of all the people who have died because of him and his twisted ways, not just family but innocent people, too. They will get their justice.I walk around with Marco and Gianni and I know they are tense with what is going to go down. Marco takes me to a hay bale and I sit down on the blanket. Gianni sits next to me.“Calm down Gianni, loosen up.” I say to him and Marco goes off to do something.“I really am trying. I can’t be in the same space as him without wanting to
