Dabbing her eyes with a tissue she scooped from her apron pocket to dry her tears, she again kissed his cheeks. “Make sure you come to dinner, Giovanni. I have made your favorite.” Then she leaned over and kissed each of my cheeks yet a second time. Finally, she hurried away while crying as she seemed to be too upset to stay.
“Wow,” was all I could mumble.
Legend chuckled. “That is Zia Maria.”
“Hurricane Maria, I call her,” Dante said.
I had to agree with that nickname.
Now, a woman came in, carrying a tray full of drinks.
Stephano smiled at her then looked up at his kids. “We have refreshments. Please take one and sit somewhere close while I give Miss Glory and Gio the good news.”
Legend and I looked up at him.
“News?” Legend asked while looking tense all over again.
I grabbed an ice tea as I watched them both. This could be a good thing or a really bad thing.
“Si, si,” his father said. “Grab your drink.”
Legend distractedly grabbed an ice tea as well. Taking my hand, we sat down on the leather couch.
Stephano smiled at us as he sat in a large leather wingback chair across from us. “I am proud to announce that in ourdungeon right this minute, we have this Deacon Walker, chained to the wall.” He growled and his smile faded away. “He tried to kill you both and that is something I cannot forgive.”
We both stared at him like he had suddenly sprouted a third arm or something. Was this man telling us that he had caught Deacon? A man all the Walkers had been hunting for all this time?
“Y-you have…” I swallowed heavily and tried again, “...captured Deacon Walker?”
Epilogue
Legend
I stood from the couch and stared at my father. “You’re joking, right?”
“Son.” My dad scoffed. “You may have forgotten this but to me war is not a joking matter. I knew where he was for a couple of days, but when Tito called and told me that the limo had been attacked? I sent my soldiers out to pick the scoundrel up.”
“You really have him?” Glory asked, still looking shocked.
“Si, my dear.” He nodded his head at her. “Must I repeat it all over again?”
“Oh, wow,” Glory exclaimed as she raised her cell phone and tapped the screen.
“I already called your Uncle Zed,” my father informed her. “He gave me a phone number and I spoke to a man they call Talon Walker. They are on their way. For actually attacking my limo with my son in it? I wanted him dead, but I knew they wanted him captured if possible as that was what your Uncle Zed told me when I was there at your clubhouse. This has been their war after all. As long as he is done, I do not care who finishes him.”
“Luca went with the soldiers,” Dante explained. “And he took this Deacon into custody.”
Glory and I were still in shock as we slowly sat back down.
Max walked into the room and announced, “The Walkers are here, sir.”
“By all means bring them in,” my father replied.
The last thing Glory and I expected was this and we did not expect to see her family here either.
Talon, Liv and Glory’s brother, Redemption, all came into the room. They paused and looked at Glory then at me.
“Glory,” Redemption said as he came over and tugged her up from the couch to give her a hug. “They said you were attacked earlier today,” he said as he pulled away.
