Niko POV
I listened to the little girl rattle on all morning and it was giving me a headache. I would have told her to shut up, but Vivian ate up every word she said. She was really fucking attached to these kids, and it's only been a few days. If I was trading the boy, then I needed to do it soon. Vivian was going to flip out once she found out, and the longer we waited, the more violent she was going to get.
Viv took Amy to visit her garden before we left, and the little fucker stared daggers at me. I knew he was up to something and I wasn't in the mood for his games.
"What is your plan for us in Chicago?" He boldly asked me as I left the table.
"Whatever I want!" I responded coldly back to him. Then he got up and started following me. I walked into my office, and he took a seat like I did. He wasn't letting this go. He had a lot of balls for someone so little.
"Are you going to harm my sister?"
I leaned forward on my desk. "Do you think I would tell you that if I was?"
"Probably not. I know you're up to something, though. Vivian will hate you forever if you let Amy even shed one tear." The little boy smirked at me, thinking he knew my weakness.
"I don't give a fuck, little boy. When you actually grow into a man, you'll understand why I like keeping a woman like Viv around and how easily it is to drop her." My eyes diverted some, glancing a peak at Paul. He was protective of Vivian, but would he go against me for her?
"Say what you want. We all see how you follow her around like a lost puppy. You're in love with the chick, and I don't blame you. She is hot... and that body." He spoke so casually for a twelve-year-old.
"Enough! I will cut out that tongue!"
"Are you jealous of even me being with your woman? One day soon, I will be a man. Probably a better one than you. I could snatch her up for my own bed." His eyes were cold, and his voice was even as he spoke. This little fucker was a demon child, and of course, Viv wanted to keep him.
"Paul, remove this boy." I waved him away. I had actual business to attend to.
"Hurt my sister, and I'll come after you. Vivian will help me slit your throat too." He spit on my desk, then brushed past Paul, pushing him out of his way. Fuck that boy had some major issues.
"I know he is out of line, Sir. He is only trying to protect his sister, though." Paul gave me that stupid look with his pleading eyes. He always did that, and it was fucking annoying.
"I don't care. He needs to learn respect."
"Could I suggest we make a deal with him instead of threats? If we promise his sister's safety, he will fall in line. Grasso never asked for the girl."
"You want me to make a deal with a twelve-year-old?" I looked at him like I was mentally peeling the skin off his body for bothering me with this shit.
"Just a suggestion, Capo. I'll go watch over him for now." Paul left, and I opened my laptop to finish some contracts before our flight. This was going to be a shit show of a trip.

As we boarded the plane, I had twenty of my men with me, a guard for the brats, and Paul and Mario guarding Viv. I needed Paul at my side, but he was the only one I trusted to handle her so I didn't end up killing her.
Anthony was meeting us there and requested his daughter, and I had Dominick watching over her. All these women and children were making everything fucking complicated.
My eyes watched Vivian constantly with how she played with the kids. The girl was all smiles and hugs. But the boy kept glaring at me and then turned to watch over his sister. It was a little fucking creepy having him so close to my men. I didn't trust him, and I didn't forget how he cut Viv's neck that first night with us.
