Chapter 314 - Raphael

Shoving my legs into my street clothes, I shoved back into the club. If Nia was part of the Petters, then I needed to talk to her. See if I could get on her good side. I could take them down from the inside out.

A smile pulled at my mouth even as an odd sense of joy exploded through my chest. Her face shone in my mind's eye. Then another picture of her on the roof outside the Petters stronghold chased it away.

My brow furrowed as I came to a halt. What the hell was she doing casing her own place?

Ivan. I needed to talk to Ivan.

Scanning the dining area, I didn't see him. Shit. I walked up to the bar. Remembering what had happened to me the last time, I tempered my tone. "Mishka, I need some help, please. Have you seen Ivan?"

The huge man turned from the far end of the bar and came down to me. A smile on his face. "You learn quickly. I wasn't too sure when Ivan called you a stupid idiot." He wiped at a spot on the bar with a towel before he flicked it over his shoulder.
