Tristan
I was pretty sure I was dying.
Blood seeped through the fabric of my shirt—a reminder of the
evening’s violent turn—as Silvio Orsini, the man with a smile that belied
his capacity for ruthlessness, stood in the midst of our shattered peace. The
Callahan estate, once a stronghold of quiet authority, now echoed with the
tension of betrayal and unexpected alliances.
I wanted to fuck him up, but I was too hurt to move.
“Tristan,” Silvio began, his voice steady despite the chaos he had
orchestrated, “I didn’t come here to start a war. Things… they got out of
hand. But we’ve got a lot to sort out.”
His eyes scanned the room, taking in Adriana’s unease, Carmen’s defiant
stance, Kieran’s calculating silence, and Liam’s attempt to mask his nerves.
Killian, the betrayer, stood amongst the Rossi brothers, his loyalties as clear
as the cold steel of a gun barrel.
Fuck him too.
Jesus.
“Look,” Silvio continued, the timbre of his voice demanding attention,
“we’re going to be adults about this, whether we like it or not. There are
issues between our families, and they won’t get solved with bullets and
bloodshed.”
“You’re the one who came in here like this,” I replied between gritted teeth.
“I know. But you don’t want to have a conversation.”
I resisted the urge to reach for my gun. Around us, the study held too many
secrets, too much history. It was a place where decisions were made, where
the fate of empires was often decided over a glass of whiskey and a
handshake. I eyed Silvio, knowing that his words were laced with the kind
of truth that could either bind us or break us completely.
And if talking to him was what I had to do to protect Adriana and our kids,
well, fuck it. That was what I would do.
My hand instinctively brushed against my side, feeling the sticky warmth
that had nothing to do with the night air. I knew I needed medical attention
soon, but first, I had to navigate this conversation.
I thought about it. Even if it meant I died, maybe I would take him down
with me…
Adrian’s voice cut through the air. “Tristan, stop!”
Her command halted me mid-motion, and I lowered my hand, my fingers
brushing against the cold metal before letting it go. Pain radiated from my
injured side, the world tilting dangerously as I fought to stay upright.
“He deserves it,” I said.
“He’s not worth it,” Adriana replied, looking right at her father as she said
it.
I could tell he held back a wince, but he didn’t say anything. Instead, he
kept looking at me.
