Icarus Rose [TRANSLATION]

Chapter Twenty Two

The plane landed in New York City in the morning, Niall was surrounded by at least five bodyguards that Liam had insisted on accompanying him. Even if they knew that no one would dare to do anything to him after Killian's death, it didn't hurt to keep the security. He would spend a whole month trying to solve the problems that had arisen with the Calder mafia. He would have to make sure that everyone knew who was in charge now, in addition to taking an inventory of all the merchandise, making a list of all the properties that belonged to the Calders, and ensure that all the territory that now was under Icarus Rose's command keep in contact with the main house in London.

The hardest thing about that part was getting families out of their homes, but it was a matter of honour, and he couldn't change the rules that were already established so many years ago. He went to Calder's house, he had heard somewhere that it was huge, not as big as his home but still. He had to talk to Killian's wife, if she was still alive, and he would send her to some smaller estate or maybe help her get by with another identity, it all depended on how he saw the situation. They drove for about two hours due to the traffic of the big city. It was not the first time that Niall had been to New York, but it was the first time that he had gone for such big business, although what kept his mind clear was knowing that he could enjoy the delicious food of the city.

"We're here, Mr. Horan." The alpha, who was behind the wheel, spoke. The car stopped in front of a beautiful property. It was huge, as he was told, considering that most houses in New York were small, the blond nodded and another alpha who accompanied him got out of the car and then opened the door.

"What are you doing here? You haven't been allowed to access this place." A man spoke, one of the alphas took out his gun and shot him avoiding drawing too much attention. They walked to the front door of the house and rang the bell. Niall was in the middle of the men, two behind him and two in front, while the driver had stayed in the car in case an emergency exit was necessary.

The door opened after a few seconds. An elderly omega froze at the sight of the alphas, knowing full well what was about to happen, and wordlessly stepped aside and let them in. Niall kept his gaze straight ahead, he was wearing one of his favourite pale pink suits and a white t-shirt, he always liked to wear bright coloured suits as he said they went with his personality.

"I'll call Mrs. Calder." The omega said and left the place. The alphas watched the perimeter to make sure everything was in order, the house staff avoiding making eye contact with the blond, who calmly observed the decorations that brought the room to life. An omega appeared in front of them, wearing a short black dress and blonde hair, she was quite pretty.

"Good morning gentlemen. Can I help you with something?" She asked once she was in front of them, her gaze fixed on Niall who smiled at her sideways.

"Are you Killian Calder's wife?" The expression of the woman changed when hearing the name of her late husband, a gesture that answered Niall's question. "I would like to speak with you about the future of this place. I am Mr. Horan, one of the three crowns of Icarus Rose."

Fear filled the woman's mind, but she nodded and motioned for Niall to go into one of the house's offices so they could have a more private conversation. They both entered as well as one of the blond's bodyguards, and once the door was closed they started the conversation.

"You're the ones who killed Killian, right?" Niall smiled and nodded.

"The Calders have always been a pain in the ass for us. I doubt he hasn't shared with you the grandiose story of the death of Killian's father and my own father, Mr. Malik at least ten years ago." The omega tilted her head and frowned.

"I haven't heard anything about that. Killian always tried to keep me and our children out of the business, and I'm aware that that doesn't clean the blood on our hands, but I'm completely oblivious to mafia problems."
