It was rare to get a traitor in the midst, and not only because Aidan would cut you like a motherfucker either, but because they earned it. Everyone respected them, loved them even. The O’Donnellys, for all they were headed by a psychopath, were good leaders. I’d been born revering them like they were the second coming of Jesus though.
The billionaires and one-percenters thought they were powerful, but that was nothing compared to the clout the O’Donnellys had. had taken over every other piece of the puzzle and consolidated it, establishing himself as king of the hill a long time before I was born.Īs a result, they were the most powerful family on the East Coast. They were the head of the Five Points, the one and only Irish Mob family in the tristate area because, long ago, Aidan O’Donnelly Sr. And truth was, they needed to be so tight-knit. I gaped at him, unable to believe he handed me that offer.Įveryone knew it was the O’Donnellys against the world. I’ll have your back if ever the time comes where you need it.” “You always were good people though, Aela. “No, you’d have had sense to stay gone,” he told me, and again, his honesty hit me square in the gut. “You forgot it once upon a time,” he rasped, making me flinch. “Don’t even think about running,” he warned me, but it wasn’t really a warning, it was more of a gentle reminder. I closed my eyes, clenching them tightly because I couldn’t cope with that look.
Suddenly feeling like I had a melon lodged in my throat, I stared at him and I saw sympathy etched in his features. I’d helped someone in need, but I should have stayed out of it, and now my boy was going to pay the price for that. For a second, my heart pounded, and the sensation of being trapped was so all-consuming that I wasn’t sure what to do.
