anywhere near the man. “I swear to you. I would never inflict that kind of pain on anyone else. Savage set his wife up for the murder, and I was given the right to execute her, which I did, but I still have revenge on my mind and for pride’s sake, he would love to get me just the same.”
    “Why have you been following us around then? Why not come to us before now?” Ryan asks.
    “Why would I trust a Savage? I wasn’t sure why Savage was so invested in your family until I came face to face with you both. Then, it was clear why he was so interested. Once I figured out you were related, I assumed you were loyal to him in some way. Although, I have to admit, I found it odd for him to send in second rate assassins to attack you when he had to know they wouldn’t survive. Now I understand why. Leave it to Dennis to be inventive in his deception, but I guess he needed to be to fool you all.”
    “I don’t believe you. You could be here just to spy for him. You are all a part of the same society. Just like politicians, you can’t trust their words because it is always about what benefits them the most,” Elijah says.
    “Don’t then. I find it is always best never to believe anyone. However, we do have a common goal, so we can either work together or be destroyed individually. You might also like to know that I recently lost my right hand man thanks to your husband, who killed him.”
    “Nick killed him. So what? You lost your assistant? I am sure you will find another. I lost my fiancé, someone that I will never be able to replace,” Ryan says as Elijah nods in his direction.
    Amery smiles and continues, “He wasn’t just my assistant. He was my friend, a loyal friend at that. You don’t find loyalty like his much anymore. And he wasn’t only killed, he was chased down, beaten, drowned, and then dragged out of the water by his hair. Nicholas has clearly accepted his role and has become an unstoppable killer.”
    “Nick would never follow Savage!” Ryan yells.
    “Nick is not your Nick anymore. He has fallen under Dennis’ influence and has become the obedient grandson.”
    “So, what does that mean?” Ryan asks.
    “It means we are fucked. The only chance we had was to attack Savage with Nick’s help. Now, with him working against us, we don’t have a chance in hell,” Elijah says.
    I step forward, confident. “I will talk to him. Nick will listen to me,” I say as Amery laughs.
    “Nick is not the man that you once knew. He doesn’t remember you. He doesn’t remember anything about his life, and if you go anywhere near him, he will kill you without blinking an eye. That is of course, Sweetheart, if Savage doesn’t kill you himself,” Amery says to me.
    I shake my head, backing into Ryan’s arms. “Why would you say that to her? He is her husband, the father of her children. There is no way he would not remember her,” Ryan says, wrapping a protective arm around me.
    “Sorry, but now she is nothing but walking pussy to him. He might fuck her, but he won’t give a shit after.” Amery laughs until Elijah steps forward and punches him in the face.
    “Fuck you! I don’t like you, and let’s get one thing clear. You will respect her above all else or you can go,” Elijah snaps.
    “Fine with me,” Amery stresses, rubbing his face and looking each of us over before walking away.
    “No, wait! Please! There has to be a way to work together,” Gideon says to Amery, dragging him back towards us by his arm. “Amery, you know very well we cannot do this on our own. Not anymore. Your army has been greatly damaged, and mine is gone completely.”
    “And these three are going to replace what we have lost?!”
    “Yes,” Gideon says confidently. “I believe it, and you should to.”
    Amery grumbles, circling back into the room with us before slamming his fist into the wall. “Fuck!” He turns back towards us with a frustrated expression. “It looks as if I don’t have much of a choice but to
