Later that night, Nikolas and I were cuddling when Dominic just walks straight into our room.
"Ty, I'm scared. He won't even let me hold his hand." I notice his hands are shaking.
"He knows you killed Devin." Dominic nods.
"I will go talk to him." I walk out the room and go to Dominic's room where Dylan is stress cleaning.
"Dominic killed him, Tyler! He fucking killed him with his bare fist!"
"Dylan, he did it with my command." I lie. I never told him kill Devin. "If you blame anyone, let it be me. Dominic is in my room and doesn't know what to do. Dylan he needs you. We both know Dominic will kill for any of us. Even if it causes him to miss his sleep sometimes. Dylan, you are his soft spot. He needs you. Since you two started dating, I've noticed the brother that I knew growing up slowly coming to the surface again. Please, just listen to him ok?" He nods and hugs me.
"I love you, Tyler."
"I love you too, Dylan. Now do you want me to send him to the guest bedroom?" He shakes his head no.
"Also let him clean his own room! It isn't your responsibility." I leave and wink at Dominic as he rushes into his room.
"Get your pretty ass back into bed." I jump onto my bed and cuddle into my pillow.
"No cuddles." I mumble.
"Did you tell Dom to kill Devin?"
"No but if Dylan asks, I did. I don't want him thinking bad things about Dominic."

"Good morning, guys!" I chirp walking into the kitchen. Everyone but Dylan glares at me.
"Neonato." Nikolas drags me out of the kitchen. "We got a call from my uncle. He is trying to push me out of the mafia."
"Why?"
"Because Dominic killed Devin. Apparently my right hand shouldn't be killing people for his sister."
"He can't fucking do that Nikolas. If he succeeds, I will have to stay as his queen. I've been catching up on the rules and technically I can never quit being the queen since I took a blood oath! I would have to die."
"I will find a way around it if the day comes Tyler. You will not be with him ever. You are mine and mine only. I'm going out. I need to blow off some steam." He kisses my forehead and stomps out of the kitchen.
"I say we put a hit out on him." Dominic mutters.
"One of us would have to kill him. I don't trust anyone but us to do it." I tell them.
"I can do it." I turn around and hug my father.
"Papa, you are retired." Dominic sighs hugging him.
"I've been dying to kill. I was so close to killing a cow the other day it was unreal."
"Why a cow papa?"
"Because a goddamn cow won't be missed. Alessandro always told me that if someone was to come after Nikolas, that it's my job to take them out. I plan on doing it." My papa tells us.
"Well my father isn't under control anymore, Leo." Nikolas says to my father as he walks over to my side.
"Nikolas, with all do respect, your father will always be my don. Alessandro and I raised this mafia from the ground up. I will proceed with his dying wish whether you like it or not." My fathers voice booms.
"Don't fail then. I want his head delivered to my front door. He threatened my family's future. I don't think you want Tyler as his Queen so I'd do it quick."
"My daughter will never be that bastard's Queen. I will have it done by the end of the week." We all watch as Arabella walks in with her stuffed animal.
"Poppy!" She runs to my father and he scoops her up in his arms. I look to Nikolas before he walks out of the room. I follow him up to his office.
"Even Leo knows that I will never live up to my father's name." He looks at the painting of his father that sits on the wall.
"Nikolas, Alessandro will always be a name that is remembered forever, but never compare yourself to him. You are able to do things that he couldn't."
"Tyler, the reason Alessandro is dead is because of me! If I wasn't stupid enough to walk into that damn trap the Canadian's set up he would still be alive!"
"Nikolas, never blame yourself for his death. We both know that if that bomb didn't kill him, his drinking would." My papa states as he walks into the office with Dominic.
"Leo, he told me that he was going to quit. That he would be there to see Chloe graduate, to see his grandchildren!"
"But what you don't know is that he never planned to walk out of that warehouse alive." We all look at my father. "Alessandro went into that warehouse knowing that you would make it out but he wouldn't. He chose you, Nikolas. He made me promise to keep you out of that warehouse when it blew."
"Why did you even let him go in there?!"
"Because I knew that if it was Dominic in there. He wouldn't stop me. I could not stop him from saving his only son."
