ONE YEAR LATER . . .
DESPITE EVERYTHING I THOUGHT, I lost Chicago.
That was enough to send my ego and bloodthirst spinning. But that wasn’t all. Salvatore is
rumored to be making another play for the East Coast.
This is where it stops.
The East Coast is mine.
I don’t give a fuck who he thinks he is. I won’t let him take it from me.
The door to my office swings open. The sound of Italian loafers hitting the marble ricochets
through the room.
I don’t have to look up to know it’s Lorenzo, and by the way he stomps in, it’s not good.
“What now?” I lift my head from the papers I’m looking over and see his scowl. In the year that
has passed, he’s grown up a lot, and is no longer the happy-go-lucky bastard he once was.
Lorenzo runs his hands over his face, heaving out a long-suffering sigh. “I’m not going to lie to
you, it’s bad.”
“How bad?”
“Gotta get our shit together, bad. While we were focused on holding ties with the Irish, Salvatore
was focusing on our own backyard.”
My knuckles turn white as I grasp my chrome desk, on the verge of fucking bending it completely.
“Don’t talk in riddles, Lorenzo. Spit it out.”
“Governor Marino.”
There is a stillness to the room at his words, followed by silence.
My fist slams down on the table, cutting through the heavy tension lingering in the air. Lorenzo
doesn’t jump back, but he winces, aware of how thoroughly and mercilessly fucked we are.
Frank Marino, the Governor of New Jersey, has always been a thorn in my side. Ever since he
rejected my proposal for port access and I had to go above him and work with the governor of New
York, we have not gotten along. That, coupled by the fact I know of his past business dealings with my
deceased uncle, leaves no love lost between us. But to know my cousin has anything to do with him is
even worse.“Talk.”
Lorenzo shakes his head, and I know what he’s about to tell me is going to be bad. There is a
tenseness to his shoulders, one that’s often not present. No one else would notice, but to me, Lorenzo
is an open book. The same goes for him about me. It makes everything much easier in certain
situations that we can speak without words.
“Governor Marino is in talks with Salvatore. If what I hear is true, and it always is, Marino is
giving him port access.”
“Fuck.”
“Yeah.” He nods.
I motion my hand to the chair. “Sit. But before you do, grab the scotch. We have a lot to discuss.”
Lorenzo moves over to the side table, his hand reaching out to grab the decanter. Once in hand, he
grabs two glasses.
“Should I even bother getting ice?
