Passions Uncovered

Chapter 23

The early morning sun found Dante and me along with Bai's brothers Jackson and Johnny, landing back on Canadian soil. As we walked and discussed what our next course of events involved and the disguises we would need to wear. Our junior soldiers stood waiting by SUVs already equipped with what we needed for our mission.

The initial stop we made was at our mansion to change into our disguises. Afterwards, everybody returned to the waiting vehicles, heading to where my grandmother worked. Johnny broke into the security systems, reworking the camera loop and cutting the alarms. Once we entered the building, we split up, some taking the stairs to the CEO's office and the rest going to different areas. Who stops and thinks about what to do when they see FBI agents and police officers standing in front of them?

My team went for the Chairman and Dante led our other group in killing off members of the North Side Mafia. After killing off the North Side Mafia, I forced the Chairman to sign over the company to me.

Meanwhile, back In Korea:

To think last night, I almost walked in on my nephew and my foster daughter making out. At first, I thought maybe Dante was lying about his brother. It just goes to reason because the two of them are always pranking or telling lies on each other. As I climbed out of bed and stretched, entering the bathroom, I got all my things ready for a shower. I was going downstairs for breakfast when I stopped by Aries's bedroom to check on him. Mainly I wanted to see if he stayed in his own room or if he was in Bai's room.

Stopping in front of Aries' bedroom door, I listened for any signs of movement. Hearing none, I cracked it open, but there was no sign of him in his room. His bed didn't look like he had slept in it either. Backtracking my steps to Bai's room, I shoved her door open only to find she was in the room sleeping alone. Scratching the side of my head, I questioned myself on whether or not he was in with Dante or if the boys were missing.

Once I made it downstairs, I saw Angel's office door slightly ajar. Why is his door even open? I clearly remember him shutting his door last night. He always shuts it to keep his nosy kids from snooping and finding things they have no business going through. Entering his office, I studied the room, making sure they left everything undisturbed. The only thing different was the drawer open. After further investigation, I noticed the keys to my SUV were missing.

I ran out of the office and back upstairs, taking the steps 2 at a time. Pounding on Angel and Bianca's bedroom door, I yelled, "Do you know what your idiot kids just did?"

"What did they do now?"

"They stole my keys. The SUV is gone."

"Do you think Bai knows where the kids went? Or why they left to begin with?"

"Wouldn't it be easier for you just to call your children and find out what your two boys are doing?" I asked Angel while tossing his cell phone to him.

While Angel checked the computer and scoured for information pertaining to his children, I ran upstairs to wake Bianca up and grab her keys. Of course, I let her know her boys had snuck off to the other side of the world. If we left Bianca here without telling her, the boys went and disappeared. Who knows what she will end up doing to us? To be honest, I for one do not want to be the one who ends up dead because of their little disappearing act.

When we all piled up in the waiting car, Angel pulled out of the driveway and sped off down the road, heading to the airport. Ten minutes later, my phone pinged with a text message from Daimen informing us the boys, along with some of their friends, had landed in Canada. Well, now at least we know where they went.

A couple of hours later, we were joining my teenage nephew back at our home. The sight waiting for us made me look around in amazement. Looking at Daimen tied up and duck taped to a chair had me questioning exactly what the boys were doing. They had stolen his keys to the armory and cleaned out the entire room. Every firearm we owned lay on the conference table. It's about to be lit like the O.K. Corral.

"Dante and Aries, what the hell do you think you're doing?"

"Uncle Vince, come on. Your eyesight can't really be that bad. What does it look like? We needed to finish this once and for all. Mom should have ended everything years ago. Or better yet, while she was laying in a coma after having us, you guys could have done it for her."

"What do you mean, you ended this whole feud between your mother and grandmother?" My brother asked his kids.

While Angel questioned his twins, I went over to the computer on his desk and pulled up the email from our informant, Bryce, who worked in the FBI. With each passing paragraph, my eyes grew bigger. My head snapped around quickly. I couldn't believe what I read. The two of them took it upon themselves to murder everybody working in their grandmother's business.

When it comes time for Angel to hand our family business over to those two, it's going to be a sight to see. The twins have a dark side to them that their father doesn't have. Maybe it's possible my nephews got their personality traits from Bianca.

Motioning for Angel to join me over at his desk, I showed him what I had just read. Even his head shot up as he stared at the boys in disbelief. Dante and Aries just sat there at the table conversing amongst themselves as if nothing happened. Dante stood up from the group and walked over, joining us at the desk with a file in his hands. He placed the file on the desk, laying it in front of us. He waited with his arms folded.

His father picked up the file and scanned the items inside. Smiling as he did so, those papers he held in his hands gave our family the right to take over Joyce's business. He grabbed Dante and pulled him into a tight hug. The twinkle in his eyes made everything that happened worth it.

Even though the boys had done great carrying out their first mission. Aries seemed a little high-strung, almost as if he had unfinished business. Later on, during the night, I went to my bedroom. When I got to the top floor, inaudible sounds of Aries talking to Dante came through the door. I stopped to listen, and what he said made my blood run cold. Guess I found out what his unfinished business is. He told his brother once his mother brings Joyce back and locks her up, someone would silence their grandmother permanently.
