Chapter 21: When the tides turn

The Assassin's Obsessions: The Confradia Assassins IV/Jeanette Rico

PriestI’ve always loved my brother. I remember how small he was when my parents first brought him home. He’d follow Tariq and me around like a puppy when we were boys. It wasn’t until I came home from the Navy that everything began to change. It was then that I realized that I couldn’t trust those closest to me. The military was my escape, and the Confradia was my new family. Unfortunately, I didn’t trust Sage, and now I’m about to lose her because of my stupidity.The SUV rumbles down the road with a silent intent. Everyone in the vehicle is sitting quietly. We lost one of our men today. Even Phantom, who wasn’t much of a fan of Hunter, seems grim. We received a call from the Confradia with updates earlier. They’re doing an extensive search for Hunter’s remains as we make our way to the bridge. A small part of me hopes that they find him alive and passed out in the grass somewhere. However, from the amount of bloo

Chapter 22: Sadness follows like a shadow behind me

The Assassin's Obsessions: The Confradia Assassins IV/Jeanette Rico

SageIt’s a miserable rainy day. Completely appropriate to the sadness we are all experiencing from our loss. We’re all standing beside Hunter’s grave as his casket is lowered into the ground.Maleah clings to her mother’s arm, tears streaming down her face as silent sobs wrack her chest. I close my eyes as the rain pelts down around my umbrella, then open them and gaze around the rest of the crowd. Aidan stands across from me, his mouth tight as he gazes down at the casket with grim concentration.Stryker, Connor, Gideon, Declan, and Micah are standing beside him, wearing equally stoic expressions.Behind them are Dragon, Heathen, and Phantom. They look like a large wall of masculine perfection.The ladies and I decided to give them their space as they mourned one of their own. Ivy is the only one absent since she had some family problems to take care of. But she did contact us and expressed her deepest sympathies.A

Chapter 23: Where I belong

Chapter 23: Where I belongAidan/ Priest“These are the last of the boxes.” Connor groans out as he, Tariq, and Corbin rest Sage’s boxes on the living room floor. After nearly two months of being together, I convinced Sage to move in with me. To my surprise, she and Corbin hit it off. The little shit has a crush on her. I have to say it’s odd to see a teenage version of me hit on my woman. Sage thinks it’s adorable. Tariq, Corbin, and I made it a habit of hanging out and having family time together. The kid soaks it up.Unlike Hunter, Casper and Smiley’s body was not handled by the Confradia. After Stryker had called in their deaths, the police picked their bodies up and took them to a morgue. Their deaths were ruled as homicides, no questions asked.Jaxon gave Connor Hunter’s position as my head tech. It was a bit jarring, but Connor was the best option since I know him so well. Unfortunately, Hunter’s deat

Epilogue- Sage

The Assassin's Obsessions: The Confradia Assassins IV/Jeanette Rico

Epilogue- SageIt’s my birthday today, and I’ve never been so happy. I have the man that I love next to me, my friends and my mom. Maleah made this gorgeous cake decorated with edible pearls and spun sugar diamonds that everyone tore through. Sophia gave me season tickets to several Broadway shows, Santana gave me a gorgeous Pandora bracelet, Jade bought me tickets to the Ballet, and Ivy gave me strippersize lessons. I will never forget the look on Aidan’s face when we explained what it was.Connor gave me a calendar with dates marked for us to sing Karaoke together, and Corbin gave me a pair of rose-gold headphones and an album with pictures of Aidan when he was a boy. Tariq’s mother helped him compile it. He looks so much like what I imagine Aidan looked like as a teenager.Standing in the middle of the dance floor, our arms wrapped around each other, I pull Aidan close and whisper, “Thank you for the surprise party. I love it.&rd
