âYou look like shit,â Giovan says, coming back into the house after pulling the SUV into the garage and unloading the worn duffel.
My brother never skirts around an issue. Ever. Heâs always been direct. Itâs part of the Rinaldi charm.
âYeah, well, the Bianchis showed up at Grampâs old house.â Itâs still hard for me to refer to the place as my home. Grandpa left me the house instead of Giovan, and itâs hard not to feel guilty.
I suggested we sell the place and split the proceeds fifty-fifty, but Giovan told me I was stupid to sell the property. Itâs been in the family forever. It should stay with the family.
âEtta showed up?â
âNo, her father and his crew.â I bite down on my bottom lip, tasting blood. âSix of them.â
Giovan winces. âHeâs got surveillance on the old house.â
âObviously.â I roll my eyes. How else would we have been seen? The Bianchis arenât quiet people. If they want to be seen, they make it known.
I head into the kitchen, and Giovan follows me. I need to make Ashton and Karina something to eat for dinner. Itâs getting late, and the kid will be going to bed soon. At least, I assume he will. I have no idea what time he goes to bed.
âWhat happened? You look like shit, and the kid was shaking when you came inside.â
âYeah, thatâs the improved version,â I say. Watching his tears broke my heart. The only thing I could do was storm inside the house, survey the damage, and refocus my attention.
I donât know a damned thing about being a father, let alone comforting a kid.
But he wasnât looking for me.
He wanted his mom.
âYou going to tell me, or do I have to drag your ass outside and beat it out of you?â Giovan asks.
I grumble under my breath as I open the fridge, pulling out staples to make sandwiches for dinner.
âDorian showed up threatening my family, scaring the kid. He trashed Grampâs house and made it clear that he can kill Karina and Ashton at any time.â
Giovan grabs three plates from the opposite cabinet and offers me a hand.
âYour family is safe. You know that Alessandro wonât let anything happen to them while theyâre here.â
His words hold little comfort.
âYeah.â I canât lock them up inside the compound. Even if I want to do that, itâs not a possibility. Ashton has school, and Karina will never give up her job. But at least she has a bodyguard.
Giovan purses his lips. âI say we take the firefight to him.â
âWhat?â I ask, glancing up from the sandwiches that Iâm preparing.
âNo one threatens a Rinaldi,â Giovan says. âYou need to tell Alessandro what happened. Heâll order an attack on their home.â
I donât want to start a war.
But I donât have a choice. Dorian started this feud, demanding that I marry his kin. âFirst thing tomorrow,â I mutter under my breath.
âFine, but if you donât tell him, I will,â Giovan says.
Heâs a good brother. Pain in the ass, but he means well.
