“Incoming,” Thorsten grunts as he walks our way.“Limousine.I’m guessing it’s Holland.”
Lu frowns.“What is he doing here?”
“I’m pretty sure we’re about to find out,” Livi states when we all turn to face the door and watch Holland stomp inside the clubhouse.
His second-in-command is right behind him, dragging a man who is bound by his wrists and ankles.
“To what do we owe...”Thorsten starts.
Holland cuts him off.“We caught this idiot in my own damn house.He was clearly looking for Lu to kill her.Want to know why?”
“Money?”Livi mutters.
It’s as if Holland didn’t need anyone to answer his question because he keeps talking.“Because if they kill my daughter, I don’t have any family left.The bounty on Lu’s head might be a hit ordered by Gideon Wilton, but the order came from Bosco Elio.That fucker thought he could fuck me over by getting me intrigued with what the Wilton family was hiding.All while Bosco’s endgame is taking over my diamond mine and my fucking territory because the Wiltons have money enough.This is personal.All of you are going to back down and sit on your thumbs while I’m going to wipe them all out.”
He’s about to turn and it makes me snap, “Hold the fuck on, Holland.You’re throwing up information that makes no fucking sense.You have two daughters, not one.Why kill Lu so you have no family?How is he going to take your territory and your mine when you’re still breathing?”
“For the outside world I have only one daughter, Lu.I never officially claimed Livi and let her live her own life.This is why Bosco will offer his daughter to me when Lu dies.It’s all about me marrying his daughter off to me because I’d need an heir.I’m fucking sure they’ll kill me after they have everything in place,” Holland roars.
We all stare and process this insanity while Holland is still fuming with anger.
CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE
–LUELLA –
My father’s fuming while the rest are still processing everything he just said.
Glancing down at the bound man, I turn to Thorsten and ask, “Do you have a place where I can question this one without holding back my creativity?”
Livi snorts.“Creativity.”
My half-sister turns to Kenz who steps out of the hallway, looking confused at the gathering before her.“Kenz, lead the way to one of the rooms in the warehouse.Lu, grab an arm and let’s go.”
“Anyone mind telling me why our old ladies are taking charge instead of us?”Thorsten rumbles with a hint of laughter in his voice.
“Probably because you guys stand around like NPCs,” Kenz states.
