“I’ll fix that shit today. Father Santiago can be here this afternoon,” I answer.
She pushes me off her. “Really?”
“Yes. I’m not waiting another day.” I drag her back and continue my assault on her sexy body, reaching her tits.
“Isn’t there some paperwork and stuff we need to fill out?”
“Already taken care of,” I answer, popping my lips around her nipple.
She nudges me off again. “So then, why did you mention my birth father? Were you thinking of inviting him?”
Okay, mood killer for sure. I straighten up in bed, tension rolling off my body. “Fuck, no. I want a bullet in his head.”
“Because he was a shitty father?”
“That too, but my reasons are completely different. See, you and I are connected in a curious way. My father was in an arranged marriage when he met my mother. He left his wife for her after he learned she was pregnant with me.”
She pales and gasps. “Where is this going? Please don’t tell me that we’re related in some fucked up way.” She moves to jump away, but I drag her back.
I chuckle and count my blessings. “No, thank God, no. You’re the daughter of my father’s ex-brother-in-law.”
“So my father must have hated your father, then?”
“Yes. I only learned about it from David when he told me they played a hand in my parents’ deaths. I thought their deaths had been an accident, but it wasn’t. Your father wanted revenge for his sister. He tried to destroy my entire family.”
“I’m sorry about your parents, Sebastian. I can’t believe your own brother would side with them over his own parents.”
“It was a greed thing. He wanted what was given to me as the firstborn and the more responsible son. He had a chance to have the world at his feet when we were growing up, but he managed to fuck it up every chance he got, so my father told him that he would never have a part of the family business and that everything he received would be at his discretion.”
“He didn’t like that, so he turned to your father’s enemies?”
“Yes, and Carlino couldn’t wait to destroy this family.”
“Well, I have to say it backfired on him.” She rubs her hand over her almost completely flat stomach, reminding me of our little one growing inside.
“Yes, you’re right. His gorgeous daughter is creating my new family.” I’m thrilled to be a father soon.
“Yeah. You have your own little revenge, in a way.”
“I suppose I do.” And that’s not all because I’m going to destroy him every single way I can. Although I don’t want her to freak out about it, so I’ll keep hush for now.
As if she can read my thoughts, she presses her hand to my chest and says, “Relax. You don’t have to keep your evil thoughts to yourself. I know you’re going to seek revenge too. I’m not stupid, and as long as you come back home to me, then do what you must.”
“Heaven help me. You are perfect.” I cup her face and kiss her hard as fuck.
“Now, do we have time to finish what we started?”
“Yes, we do,” I growl, pinning her to the mattress and making her come until we have to get ready.

"Who are you?" Candy asks, eyes on the woman who came after me. "You know what, it doesn't matter because you're irrelevant and will ceaseto exist in mere moments. You fucked up when you put yourself in my path. Coming near my man is a death sentence."
"You're a weak woman. He'll leave you for the next piece of ass. They all do,” she spits out, trying to sound tough, but it only causes Candy to laugh. She knows damn well I’d chase her to the ends of the Earth if she tried to leave me again. She’s all I need.
Picking up one of the blades off the surgical tool table, Candy tests it in her hand. We’d practiced the weapons earlier, so she wouldn’t slide her hands up, and my girl is a natural. "And yet you willingly risked your life for one,” she scoffs, shaking her head at her trapped target.
"He's the true head of the family,” she insists. Her loyalty to my brother is not only pathetic but also futile. Cesar looks on and shakes his head. My brother is but a memory now.
