I motion him to release her.

Her hand instinctively flies to her throat as tears trickle from the corners of her eyes. “Fucking bastards.”

I move closer. Gripping her chin between my thumb and forefinger, I raise her face so that she is looking directly at me. “Do you love your husband, Sinead?”

“What the fuck is it to you?”

“I want to know what you would do if his life was threatened. How far would you go to save him?”

“That’s what he pays his bodyguards for.”

“Okay.” I change course. “How far would you go to save Cash?”

She swallows and looks away before recovering quickly and meeting my gaze again. “I won’t let my husband find out about him if that’s what you’re asking.”

It’s a start.

“So, you understand where I’m coming from. Your husband is using the woman I love as leverage to steal Cash’s business. I have a picture of her on my phone.”

Her eyes track my movements as I slide the cell phone from my pocket, unlock the screen, and turn the image of Sienna’s bloody face around to show her.

“Now, I know you probably don’t care what happens to Sienna, but I do, and I’m going to save her with or without your help.” I lower my voice and speak clearly so that she understands I’m not messing around. “A word of warning though. It will get messy without your help because there’s no fucking way I’m handing over everything my family has worked so hard to build so that your husband can reap the rewards. Do you understand what I’m saying?”

She nods.

“If I have to throw your name into the mix to save Sienna, I will.”

“What about Cash?” She isn’t quite so belligerent now.

“Cash is a big boy. He’ll figure it out.”

“I didn’t know this was going to happen, I swear.”

I believe her, but she’s involved in this whether she likes it or not, hence the reason she’s hiding out in an Irish castle. “Where is your husband holding Sienna?” I exchange glances with Patrick to remind her that he could break her neck in a heartbeat.

“I don’t know for sure.”

“Go on.” My pulse spikes.

I’m standing on the same soil as Sienna. It’s only a matter of time before I find her, and once I know that she’s safe, I’m going to blow Sasha Bogrov’s growing empire apart brick by fucking brick.

“He’s trying to acquire a property on the Donegal coastline. A fucking mansion, don’t you know.” She rolls her eyes dramatically. “Because the big bad bratva boss wants to prove that he’s invincible.”

The scorn in her voice is unmistakable.

“Where is it?”

“It’s built on a fucking cliff. Perfect for tossing the enemy off the roof when they get a little too close.”

“Who else knows about this?”

My mind is already connecting the dots between Sasha Bogrov, Nick Morris, and Robert Hooch. One of them is holding Sienna on the bratva’s orders, and I don’t care who it is. They’ll be the first to learn what happens when they try to harm someone the Murrays care about.

“I don’t know.” She shakes her head. “But I can tell you how to get there.”
