He shook his head. “So you’ll what? Keep the girl, marry her as Xavier, and keep this whole part about your life a secret?”

“Don’t be ridiculous.”

“So what is it that you’re planning to do? You went to fucking prison because of the girl. We’ve killed men for doing less.”

My nostrils flared as I walked up close to him. “You’re not fucking touching her. I’ll deal with her.”

“Oh, yeah. I can really see that happening.”

I shook my head and took a step back, not saying anything.

I had always planned ondealingwith her, but I knew my definition of dealing with her differed from Micah’s.

“You didn’t just come here to see her,” I said instead of answering him.

His face turned cold, making awareness crawl up my skin.

“Dominic needs us,” he said. “We’ll talk about this later. Let’s go.”

I lookedat the fucking mess that had been one of our warehouses.

The fire started at around two o’clock last night and burned almost everything down to a fucking crisp.

We were lucky this place was remote enough that no one noticed and called the cops, but it was only a matter of time before someone stumbled into this mess.

There wasn’t as much damage done to our profit, considering most of the products had been shipped out of state and were going out overseas. One of the first things we bought when we expanded our business was a shipping port near Ocean Beach in San Francisco.

But this was the property of the King’s Men MC, and some fucker decided to burn it to the ground.

Nothing that was left behind was salvageable.

Dominic’s face was thunderous as he assessed the damage.

Micah and I walked up to him. He didn’t turn to look at us, but I knew he was aware we were nearby.

“It’s the fucking Mansen Brotherhood,” Dominic said.

I looked out at the rubble. Fucking hell. It wouldn’t take long for the cops to show up. The fire happened just hours before, and we got lucky that no one reported it.

I cracked my neck back and forth, wishing I could take out my frustrations on the fucker’s face.

“They’re getting cocky.”

“Yes, but first, we have to get rid of everything.”

I nodded in agreement.

Everything was mostly charred, but there might be some things that have survived the fire. It wasn’t something we were willing to risk.

This was one of the properties that weren’t under our names but a shell corporation that could be traced back to China before reaching a dead-end. No one should have known about this warehouse in the first place.

One of the slimy little fuckers must have followed one of the brothers here.

I shook my head.

We pledged in a lot of newcomers. We’d gotten too big to handle everything ourselves, but some of the new ones were pissing me off. They didn’t know how to stay vigilant.
