The Mafia Princess

20- Daddy's home

Aaron's P.O.V.

After my call with Nico, I knew I needed to step in and help my daughter. She's stubborn and bull headed, just like me, so I knew she wasn't coming to me for help, even if she needed it. I know I promised her space but if someone is blackmailing her to get to me, I definitely wasn't going to let that go.

My brother, Silas and I rounded up a handful of my men and we went to the Rynes house.

I've been out of the country for a few months now, it was good to be back. Well rested and ready to kill this fucker that's messing with my girl.

Walking up to the Rynes door, I knocked hard.

A kid opened the door, "Can I help you?" After he spoke, realization hit with who I was because his eyes grew wide.

"I need to speak with Derek and Nico."

"Yes sir, please come in."

Walking into the house with my men, I looked around finding Nico instantly.

"Dad, Uncle Aaron, she's not here."

"I know, I tried calling her and she's not at her apartment either. I actually came to see you and this Derek Ryne."

"Sir, I'm Derek Ryne." He extended out his hand, giving me a firm handshake.

I shook his hand and nodded his way.

I can see why my daughter liked this kid, she was always into the bad boy look and this kid had it.

I looked back at Nico, "What happened, exactly?"

"She won't talk to me anymore, I knew the moment I saw her at the races something was wrong."

"Races?"

"Yes, like I told you on the phone, someone is threatening her. All we know is they wanted information on Derek and she needed to get close to him to save you. After she left here, she's been MIA for the past week. She isn't even going into work."

I clenched my jaw and looked at Derek.

"Why didn't you stop her from leaving?"

Derek cleared his throat, "I'm the one that told her to get out, Sir. She went behind my back and was feeding information to the cops... What would you have done in my position?"

I didn't say anything because if it was anyone other than my little girl, I would have snapped their neck.

"I need to talk to her, is anyone else in this house close with her?"

No one answered me. An older man came forward... "My name's Damien, I'm Derek's father."

"I know who you are." I replied.

"I might know how to get her here." He turned towards a kid, "Beck, text her and tell her to bring her med bag."

"Okay." After a few seconds, he smiled and started typing again.

"What did she say?" I asked.

"She said that she isn't welcome here anymore, to figure it out myself and to stop breaking the fucking law." He let out a low chuckle. "I just told her, it's Nico and she said she was on her way." He tried holding in a smirk, but was failing.

That's my daughter, always a smart ass!

"Good. She's going to be pissed, but she isn't answering my calls, so she's left me with no other choice."

Forty minutes later, a different kid opened the door for her and she rushed inside.

"What the hell?" She hissed as she looked between me and Nico.
