“Come on, Damian, you love me really,” the second man said.
“Gabriel, I’ve spent a great deal of time thinking about how to end you. I can’t fucking stand you, so nah, I don’t love you at all.”
Mia looked from all three men seeing that they all had to be related.
“Mia, I’m sorry for this intrusion. This here is my oldest brother, Jacob. I was just telling you about him.” She smiled at him. “Then you’ve got my half-brother, Gabriel Colton, which I can’t for the life of me think why he’d be here.”
“Consider me reinforcements. Your dad—”
“Our dad,” Damian said. “The cheating bastard that he is.”
“Cheated before he even met your mother. It’s not cheating.”
“So your mother is just a whore!” Damian growled the words, and Mia gasped as Gabriel had Damian’s head down on the table with a gun pointed at it.
“I dare you to say something else about my mother!”
“I swear if you don’t move that gun from our brother’s head, I will shoot you in the cock, Gabriel, and I’ve come to see how much you love using it.” Jacob turned to her. “Sorry. Family business.”
“It’s fine.” She thought her life was crazy. There was no way her life was as crazy as these two guys who seemed intent on killing each other.
Chapter Three
Damian stared down at the little boy in the car. He was fast asleep, and Mia had her hand against his chest, every now and then shushing him. Did she even realize she was doing it? Or that she was offering her son comfort? He watched as she loved her little boy even with his two brothers in the front.
Just the sight of Gabriel made him so fucking annoyed. He’d seen how sad his mother had been when the truth had come out. Of course, Maddox Denton had welcomed him with open arms. As if his family wasn’t fucked up enough, he now had half-siblings, and step-fucking-siblings. They all made him sick to his stomach.
“Where are we going?” Mia asked.
“We’re heading back to my family’s place. We can stay there tonight, and then you can move to my apartment. You’ll meet Martha, and I’ll show you a few things. You can meet the family. Don’t worry about anything though. They’re fucking crazy.”
She smiled, but he saw that it was forced. Did he scare her? She didn’t seem fazed by the gun that had been pointed at his head. It wasn’t the first time he’d been threatened, and he doubted it would be his last.
Forcing a smile to his lips, he watched as she stared out of the window.
“So, Mia, is it?” Gabriel asked, sitting in the passenger seat at the front.
“It is.”
“How did you meet this asshole?”
“It’s a long story, and I don’t think he’d like for me to tell it to you.”
Gabriel shrugged, and Damian shook his head. He really didn’t like him. Once a Colton, always a damn Colton as far as he was concerned. There was nothing Denton in his blood.
“Why don’t you tell me?” Jacob asked. “I was the one that was called and asked to come and pick you guys up.”
Mia looked at him, and this time he shrugged.
“I was talking to Ivan Smith when Damian crashed into his office. To cut a long story short, Damian grabbed me and hauled me out of there, and promised me a job, and a way to take care of Reese. It was a better deal than what I was getting.”
“What deal were you getting before?”
“Ivan made sure I had no choice but to go to him. He didn’t want me working, and I didn’t want to owe him anything.”
“Ivan Smith is a piece of shit,” Gabriel said.
“Takes one to know one.”
