Chapter 49 - Ransom

Three Days Later

"CPI leadership is here, sir," the secretary said.

I didn't give either Juan or the secretary time to tell us he wasn't in the office. I pushed in behind the startled older woman. Taryk, Saint, and Asher moved in with me. "Thanks. Get out." I didn't bother to turn and see if she obeyed.

"Juan, Juan, Juan. You shouldn't have been such a complete asshole," Taryk said as he wandered into the room. After he'd made a full circle, he came back to my side and gave me a nod.

"What the fuck are you doing here, Rans - "

"It's Mr. Kolefni to you, you little fuckbite. Where's your bitch of a wife? She still in heat?"

Juan's face developed a purplish undertone.

"I'll take that as a yes. Get her in here. Chop, chop," I clapped my hands loudly. "We don't have all day."

Juan hit a button on his phone. "Ferria. My office. Now."

"I'm busy, Juan," she sounded winded.

I raised an eyebrow at him. A smirk lifting the corner of my mouth. The purple color increased.
