I peeked at him over my sunglasses, taking in his deep dark eyes.
“Nice to meet you, Liam. Who do you answer to? Me or Sean?”
He tipped his head and then said, while opening the back door, “My orders are to follow yours.”
My ma slid in first and just as I was about to, I looked over my shoulder and asked, “That tracking device under the hood, am I allowed to have you remove it?”
Sean could track me by phone and the Celtic knot pendant I never took off. But I needed the car squeaky clean.
“Is that an order or request?”
I chuckled and slid into my seat.
“Let’s make it an order. Once we reach Manhattan, I want it gone.”
Liam nodded and we got on the road.
Meet me at the Designer Loft. And bring what I need.
It was going to be one of those days and nothing could convince me otherwise.

I hated leaving her.
It wasn’t on purpose or to make her suffer. Business called and I had no choice but to answer.

My eyes were closed but Tadhg knew I was listening carefully.

“Jaslyn Edwards-Black from—”
“Edwards, Brooks and Goode. Yeah, I know her.”
She was a powerhouse and worth every dime.
“Well, look. I can figure out where Blair is spending her money, but I can’t dig into what the lawyer is doing for her without offending Ashton. And if we offend him, we offend Sheldon and Monroe. That’s a possible Delegation breach.”
I hummed.
Tadhg wasn’t Finnegan; he didn’t move in sync with me like my brother but he was always thinking about everything I didn’t exactly give a fuck about.
He’d be the best candidate for my second-in-command. Wasn’t sure how my uncle Eoghan would feel about it but we’d cross that bridge if we got there.
Tadhg’s was the product of Eoghan’s first marriage.
His mother had been against him being raised in the life, but in the end he chose it.
My uncle met the twins mother not long after his divorce and they’re still together.
The three of them were eight years apart and had a good relationship despite the drama their parents had growing up.
Tadhg even had me by four years.
