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
Antonio POV.“What the fuck happened?” I ignore the hysteria in Rosena’s voice as I focus on what Anna is doing to Teagan.“Will they be ok?” I ask as I hold her limp hand in mine. I look at Anna when she doesn’t respond quick enough for my liking.“She needs a hospital, Antonio. She has bled, and I need to be able to check them all properly.” She says to me as Rosena keeps screaming, asking what the fuck happened.“What happened is your cunt of a husband was a fucking traitor! So shut the fuck up, Rosena.” I snap at her and I see the tears leave her eyes. I’m too fucking pissed to mollycoddle right now, especially when my tiger and my babies are in danger.“I know that Antonio he tried to kill me. If it wasn’t for her, he would have.” She snaps back, but I ignore her when I turn my head and stare at the person I never thought I would see again, Gianni.“I know what you’re thinking brother, it was best to make you believe I was dead so I could stay by her side. I’m sorry, but I didn’t
Teagan POV.When we finally land, I see a convoy of motorcycles and armoured SUVs. I walk down the steps of the jet, huffing and puffing as I move. Gianni steadies me and I thank him with a smile.The men are all like bears, all rough and ready and cute, so damn fucking cute. Dark jeans, biker boots, and their leather cuts. I’m not ignorant of the MC world. I know the terminology. After all, in Jackson, we had an MC there and went to the clubhouse when they hosted family days.I look at Hatchet and he winks at me as he holds the door open for the SUV as Gianni helps me inside. I start laughing as Gianni pushes me inside.“Hold on, I can get my fat ass in on my own. Stop pushing me, Gianni. You damn oaf.” I say between laughs. When he is ripped away from me and I look into those honey eyes and roll my eyes as I slide inside and Hatchet slams the door and stands by it with his arms folded over his chest, staring Antonio down.I chuckle before I sigh, leaning my head against the headrest
Teagan POV.It has been a week since the plan failed and I am here in the safe clubhouse, still in lockdown. I haven’t spoken to Antonio since the night we had that discussion because that is what it was. It wasn’t an argument. He isn’t worth my time or energy.I sit on the porch looking out around the yard, seeing the men working on their bikes and women milling about. I still need to decide what to do with Rosena.“Here doll, you look like you could use this.” I look up and see one of the women holding out a glass of juice, and I take it from her as she sits next to me. I learnt she was the VP’s old lady, or wife to those that aren’t in this life. The VP is called Renegade and her name is Eva.“Thanks.” I say as I lean back to get comfortable.“How long you got?” she asks and I look at her, eyeing her cautiously.“Not long, why?” I ask her and she looks away. I follow her line of sight and see she is looking at her man and I see Antonio. I scoff internally.“They know you are marrie
Teagan POV.It has been a month since my melt down with Antonio after we shared a beautiful moment with him seeing his kids. I have stayed away from him. I have been focusing on, well, nothing. I don’t want this life.I sit in the room where Rosena is being kept. I have been doing this a lot, just coming to see her but not talk to her. She has spoken to me, but all I can do is think of the happy times with her, my uncle, my mom, and dad. Before everything went to shit and all the lies were exposed. I know I’m not innocent in this game.My head is well and truly messed up. I look at her and even though she is my prisoner, and I had no problem killing her husband. This is different, but in a way, it isn’t.“Teagan, please speak to me. You are not doing ok.” She says softly and I just look at her. Why am I even here? How will this go down?“Please Teagan, you have me worried. What’s wrong sweetie-pie?” I stand up to leave. As I turn around, I stop and sigh looking up at the dark ceiling.
