I watch Sophia rush out of the kitchen and once she's disappeared, my eyes settle back on her cousin as he watches me whilst eating his stack of pancakes.

"Got something to ask me?"

He shakes his head, continuing to stare at me.

I raise a brow but decide to focus on my food and not give him the reaction he wants.

His staring won't bother me in the slightest. I'm used to having eyes on me, although they usually watch me because they're fearful, not curious.

"Does your brother know that you sneak into his wife's room almost every night?" he asks.

I smirk against the rim of my coffee cup. All it took was a few minutes of silence and me ignoring him for him to ask what he'd been wondering.

"Jericho knows plenty."

He frowns and narrows his eyes.

"That's not exactly an answer."

I shrug in response as I hear my brother's keys jangling around as he locks the hallway door and begins his way towards the kitchen we're sitting in.

"Surely he must have an issue with his brother sneaking around his house and going into his wife's room at night time," Jayelen adds, clearly unaware of my brother's approach.

"Don't have an issue with it at all," Jericho states, walking into the room and startling Jaylen. His fork drops onto his plate, and he turns in surprise to meet Jericho's cold, hard stare. "If you must know, King, I have had a conversation with Sophia and I've also had one with my brother. They both understand my feelings and thoughts on the topic, which is all that matters. They're both adults and welcome to do as they please."

Jaylen nods his head as his eyes dart around the room.

"Of course. Sorry for prying," he says, pushing his plate away from him and standing up. "I better get going and check if Sophia's ready."

He walks past Jericho, exiting the room and once he's gone, my brother's mask slips and he smirks at me, showing his amusement at the situation.

"What was that about?"

"He caught me sneaking into her room last night and obviously has some questions about it all. I'm not surprised. That whole family is inquisitive and seems to want to know everything that's going on all the goddamn time," I tell him.

"Better get used to it, brother. You'll be a part of that family at some point," he states. "Anyway, came in here to tell you that Leo has concluded that you've both gotten as much information out of the Garcia capo that he's willing to share, so he's ready to get rid of him and dump him today if you want to help with that. If not, you can spend the day in my office with me going over everything that Uncle Carlos has told me, and see if we can easily get rid of the last two remaining bastards that are loyal to Alessandro."

"What's the plan with the Garcias?" I ask, before giving him an answer.

"I'm going to ask for a meeting with them. I have an idea in mind that I think might work, but it involves speaking to Dominic as well."

My brows furrow as I look at my brother, curious as to what the idea might be.

"I need to find a way to contact the Garcias first, and before I put the idea forward to them, I'll put it forward to Dominic and see if he agrees with what I have in mind. I don't think he'll be against it though as it involves him being in control of everything again and having that leadership position he's always wanted."

"If I spend the day with you in your office, will you tell me more about this idea that you've had?"

He huffs and nods his head.

"Grab the whiskey," he says as he leaves the kitchen.
