Beau’s POV
I didn’t like the aspect of leaving the women there when Charles could go back to terrorize them. Before we left the building, I made sure to let the front desk know about the situation. Richard didn’t take to that well. “Didn’t the lady Cynthia tell you she’s a black belt.”
“SO? What’s a black belt going to do against a gun or several men? People. I should turn back and stay close by.”
Declan sighed. “You do that, and not only will you upset Mrs. Mari but you will also get mama’s ire. You’ve heard the tongue lashings she can give. No sense in getting her hopes up and disappointing her.”
“Damn, you’re right. She’s liable to make my ears bleed with how fierce she gets.”
“Well, she does act like you’re her fourth son.”
“She’d be damn proud to have me as a son. I’m awesome.”
