Violent Ends (The Denton Family Legacy 5)

“How is she?” he asked.

“Pissed off. Angry at you. Angry at all of them,” Owen said.

“She’s going to be in danger,” Gabriel said.

“What are you doing, Gabriel?”

“I’m having fun, why?”

“You’re not around all that much anymore.”

“I want to know what Emma has on Maddox,” he said. He had his own plans. In the past few months he’d seen the way Maddox worked, and he didn’t like it. The old bastard was getting cockier with every passing day. With his talk of merging Denton and Savona, it didn’t sit well with him.

Gabriel didn’t know whom he could trust.

It certainly wasn’t the Dentons. With the way Emma just acted, he had a feeling she was the only one he could trust. He’d just hurt her man though, so that put them in a bad place.

“Are you going to tell us what the hell is going on here, Gabriel?” Owen asked. “We don’t play like this. Keeping us in the dark.”

“You’ll know soon enough. I’ve just got to wait for everything to be in place.” He wasn’t going to make a play for the top until he was sure of everything first.

Stuart and Rick were a problem, both of them the brothers to Maddox.

“Find out everything that Emma knows and keep her safe.”

“We’ve already got those orders from Gideon.”

“Good. He knows she’s in danger then.”

“Yes.”

Gabriel nodded. “I’ve got to be heading back. My job is to keep an eye on Landon.”

“How is he?”

“He’s not doing well, but at least he’s eating.”

“You’re going to try to overthrow the Dentons.”

“Dad always wanted a Colton on top,” Gabriel said.

“Our dad was a monster, Gabriel. You’re a Denton now.”

“Exactly, so I’m not really overthrowing anything.” He winked at his brothers, climbed into his car, and headed back to the

Denton home.

There was no sign of Maddox’s car.

Entering the house, he saw Tamsin on the stairs. She stared at him without saying a word.

He’d noticed this little girl had a knack for getting in and out of places like Emma did. More often than not, she went undetected.

“Shouldn’t you be in bed?”

“You hurt my brother tonight.”

It wasn’t a question. He also wouldn’t treat her as a child and pretend he didn’t have a clue what she was talking about.
