He exhales heavily. “She’s an FBI agent in the human trafficking department. My sister is a chameleon and can blend in easily. However, she could use a well-known guy to help her navigate the social life in the Big Apple while keeping her safe.”
I let out a guffaw. Shaking my head, I crouch to finish picking up my shit. “I get you, brother. If Hazel, who is like a sister to me, were in her shoes, I’d call you to give me a hand. But are you fucking serious? You want me to babysit?”
“Human fucking trafficking,” Tiago growls at me. “It’s my understanding that she’s trying to find the root. The main fucking guy of one of those cells. You know what’s going to happen to her if she gets caught?”
I run a hand through my hair, let out a breath, and nod. They’ll torture her until they break her and then they might kill her . . . Or they might let her live, and she’ll be reliving the hell they put her through for the rest of her life.
“My old man and I don’t see eye to eye,” he continues. “But I care for my sister.” He stops, closing his eyes as he breathes a couple of times, his rough expression is drawn in agony. His eyes open, staring at me in a pleading way I’ve never seen before today. “I trust her. But if I can help to keep her safe…we can’t lose Luna. You get me?”
Placing my hand on top of his shoulder, I squeeze it. “Luna will be safe, brother. I’ll be whatever she needs and make sure she’s safe. As long as you’re my bitch for the next one hundred years.” I laugh, moving toward the elevator. “Gotta meet the family for lunch, you want to join?”
“Nah, I’m flying to Florida to check on my momma. I’ll contact you when I get more intel on Luna’s assignment.”
Harrison: On my way to Juanes.
Hazel: You’re joining us for lunch? What happened to the job?
Harrison: I told you it’d be quick.
Hazel: Hooray, you didn’t die today!
Harrison: Order me a shot of Patron if you arrive first, bumble bee.
Hazel: I won’t be the first. I’m in the middle of a meeting. Your brother is slaving me. We need help!
Scott: I’ll order a bottle of Don Julio to celebrate. Jensen is waiting for us in the car. We’ll be there before you.
Scott: And we are in the process of hiring a few new employees. Stop complaining, buttercup.
Dear Reader,
Thank you so much for reading the Chaotic Duet. This book began as an attempt to rewrite a story and became it’s own magical tale. As many of you know, my inspiration comes from life, events and people I’ve met. Abby is inspired and dedicated to a couple of strong women who I know, and I love dearly. This book is as much as they allow me to talk about heir stories, but know that they are thriving.
Thank you for reading this. For accepting a little piece of my heart.
After you finish the book, and if you enjoyed it. Please, do me a big favor and leave a review. Let other readers know about it and spread the word. I love to hear from readers, so please don’t hesitate to email me
Thank you much. Love you all,
Claudia ♥
