Not even fucking Vencor.
My steps are wide as I walk to the secondary annex, where my father’s lackeys reside, followed by Samuel. He already informed them about their new owner, and this new owner has his first mission for them.
As we’re walking, I pull out my phone and text in the group chat.
Me
@Jude Callahan, I’m informing you that your brother is getting in my way and I might or might not have him killed.
Jude
Not before I do. He kidnapped Violet. Again.
Fuck. That must be why Dahlia went with him.
Preston
Whoa. Messing with Julian, are we? Count me out. I’m just gonna stay here and get high.
Me: Is Julian at the main house?
Jude
At his wife’s house.
Me: Even better. Remember when I said threatening him was risky? Forget about that. I’m bringing our men.
Preston
Hey…let’s take a deep breath. Inhale. Exhale.
Jude
I’ll bring the men I have access to.
Preston
Jesus fucking Christ. Slow down. You want to get killed?
I am now the head of the Davenport family, and Julian came onto Davenport property and took what’s mine. He needs to pay.
Jude
It’s long overdue. He needs to stop his fucking meddling.
Preston
Sounds dangerous. I’m in.

A few hours later,we’re all gathered in front of Julian’s wife’s house on the outskirts of town, far away from Ravenswood Hill, bordering where the poor people live in the neighboring town.
After Jude and I direct our men to surround the house, we take out the security in front and we head to the second floor, where the bedrooms are. It’s almost midnight, so the motherfucker should be sleeping.
Despite the lack of light, Jude, Preston, and I move with ease. We’ve been plunged into the darkness our entire lives. This is child’s play.
“So…” Preston walks backward in front of us so that he’s facing us. “We’re risking my precious life for pussy?”
