in every matter of this family. You are second. You’ll always be second. You don’t have what it takes to lead this family, and I will give my last breath to make sure you will never be in the position to lead it.”
“Well, I guess we’ll see then, won’t we?” Eddie replied as he walked around me and left me in my father’s office.
Tell me that you understood that veiled threat . You know I’m pissed as fuck, right? You have no idea how bad I wanted to tear this room apart, tear him apart.
That son of a bitch!
I balled my fist, then opened it, in the attempt to calm down. If I didn’t get myself together, I was going to miss the knife when it was thrust into my back. I refused to be made a fool of and Eddie knew that, which was why he was baiting me. He wanted me to lose my shit. I refuse to give him that satisfaction.
I left my father’s office and located the woman of the house so I could say hello before I left. My mother and I were close. I didn’t consider myself a mama’s boy, but I would destroy heaven and earth for Angelica Leonetti.
I found her on the patio talking on the phone. She smiled, gave me her cheek and smacked my face, all while never stopping her phone conversation. I thought about waiting around to speak to her; that is, until I figured out that she was talking to Georgia.
I told you Georgia, my mama and grandmother were crazy by themselves, but together they were downright insane. I kissed her again and left her on the patio. My phone started to vibrate, and I pulled it out, hoping it was Stink coming through for me. I glowered when I saw that it was Eddie. I could have just shot the fucker right that moment, saving us both the grief and hassle.
I exited my parent’s house and glanced at Darrell and Hugo, who were huddled together conspiratorially.
“What’s up with you two?” I asked.
“Nothing. You headed home?”
I eyed them both with suspicion of my own, but I didn’t press.
“Yeah, I’ll see you on Monday bright and early,” I told them. “It seems we have a meeting to attend to at Waters’ Inc. at 9 am, so I’ll meet you there by 8:30.”
My phone signaled I had a text. “Finally ,” I said to myself as I read.
“There you are,” I uttered into the night.
As it seemed, tonight just might get interesting. I smiled, thinking of how good it was going to feel when I sank into her.
I can just taste her on my tongue.
“Boss?”
I looked up, pissed that someone interrupted my wet daydream, and found Hugo standing in front of me. A scowl, I knew, was prominent on my face, which caused him to pause before he said to me, “I just heard from Tiko.”
I closed my eyes and leaned against my car. See how fate and I just weren’t getting along? When I opened them, both Hugo and Darrell were standing in front of me.
I reluctantly forcedher and the wet dream to the back of my mind. “Tell me.”
*********
I drove to a pier in Delaware, which was south of the city. Lester kept weird hours since he and his wife separated and he moved into his office, so I knew he’d be up.
It seemed that my brother had been very busy. From what Tiko told me, Eddie had been informing people that I was out of control, unstable and incapable of leading. Tiko was able to smooth things over with some, and they decided to continue their loyalty, claiming a misunderstanding. I understood their hesitation. I mean, hell, my brother could be quite persuasive. However, I wasn’t very forgiving to those that went against me. My father advised that I was unnecessary with my teachings in the past. If I wanted to teach the people that I employed the concept of loyalty, I needed to make my lesson count. Since I was loyal to my father, I would make sure that when a lesson had to be taught, that I taught it just one.
I won’t go into the specifics of said lesson I directed Tiko to teach, but just note that the misunderstandings were resolved, except for Lester. The way he had turned on
