PREFACE
Let It Burn
Rico
“Fuck,” I mutter as shots fire, alerting everyone to our presence. I had hoped we could at least get off the grounds before we or the fire were noticed. We’ve only made it to the back door we need to exit through.
I rush out the doorway and dart by the pool to find cover behind the thick Roman pillars in the backyard. My cousins Eduardo and Aldo are hot on my heels. Eduardo brings up the rear as he covers us. Then the two take the lead and rush up ahead as they continue to return fire.
Pop Pop Pop.
I duck behind the wall with Oni in my arms as shots continue to ring out in our direction. Two bullets hit the pillar above our heads and debris falls down around us. I look down at her gorgeous brown face as she lies unconscious, and murderous rage fills me.
“What have they done to you, baby?”
I’m going to get her out of here. I need to get her to safety. I can’t lose her now, not again.
Not after all I’ve done. All of this is for her; everything I’ve done has been for her. I glance up as my cousin Eduardo calls my name.
He was the last out of the house they had Oni held hostage in. These fuckers thought they could take what belongs to me—over my dead fucking body.
Anyone who dares to touch what belongs to Federico Gallo Jr. learns their lesson. I’m the last motherfucker you want to fuck with. I don’t have the conscience to think twice.
Especially when it comes to this woman in my arms. I’m insane for Oni, always have been. Ruthless is who I was before her. Utter destruction is who I am now.
“I have you covered. Let’s go,” Eduardo yells over the gunfire.
Quickly, I glance behind me and see the mansion burning down. Baring my teeth, I work my jaw. For what they’ve done, I hope those fuckers burn with it.
I’m just getting started when it comes to my wrath. When the dust settles, everyone will understand the message I plan to send. They will all pay.
“Hold on, baby. I’m going to get you home,” I mutter as I turn back to Oni and kiss her temple.
More shots sound, causing me to look up. Eduardo jerks back as he takes a hit to the shoulder. I grind my teeth as his brother Aldo appears, guns blazing. My other cousin catches the guy in the head who shot Eduardo.
“I’ve got you. Come on,” Aldo growls.
I reposition Oni in my arms and make my move. I make it to Aldo, who’s helping a bleeding Eduardo as I’m hit in the leg. I stumble forward but tighten my hold on Oni.
“Fuck, man. You’re hit,” Aldo says as he turns to me.
Way to state the obvious. I want to growl the words at him, but I know he’s just worried about me and Oni. My cousins are putting their lives on the line for the woman I love. I could never repay them for that.
“I’m fine. Get him in the car. We need to be on the move. We’re running out of time,” I bite out.
He grunts and helps Eduardo into the front passenger seat, then opens the back door for me as I let off a few shots of my own. “I’ll drive. Get in,” he commands. I take out two more guys before turning my focus back to getting into the vehicle.
A bullet whizzes by my head and shatters the window of the open back door. I wave Aldo off as he tries to move to help me. He starts to round the vehicle to follow my orders.
I go to climb into the back seat of the SUV with Oni in my embrace. Suddenly, I fall forward and begin to lose focus as I’m hit again. I’ve managed to cradle my body around hers.
“Son of a bitch,” Aldo bellows.
I can hear him moving around to get me in the vehicle and close the door behind me. My back burns something awful. However, I grind my teeth against the pain and try to focus on Oni.
I groan as I push up off her and look her body over. She’s covered in blood, but I think it’s all mine. She’s still unconscious.
If the motherfucker who did this isn’t already dead, I’m going to treat his ass to an acid embalming while he’s still breathing. Those responsible will pay. I already have a list.
Pain rocks through me and I have to fall back into the seat. No matter how hard I try, I’m losing consciousness.
Shit, this can’t be happening. I have her back. I’m almost at the top. One more play and there’s nothing else in my way.
How can I, Rico Gallo, lose now? I’ve fought too hard to have her. We’ve been through too much.
