I Woke Up at the Altar and Said No to the Mob Heir Who Let Me Die, but He Remembers Too novel · Chapter 23 of 40

Chapter 23: Everything

Senan held the phone a little away from his ear, so I could hear.

He wanted me to hear.

There was no click.

"Everything," Cormac said.

The wind on the line. The engine.

"She's worth everything. Do you hear me? Take me instead. Whatever you want from her, you want it from me. Let her go and I'll come to you."

Senan's eyebrows went up. He looked at me, delighted.

"Well, now," he said into the phone. "Isn't that a change of tune."

"Where?"

"You know where, son. The yard. The fourth row. You come alone, in your own car. I see one other car on that road, she goes in a box and I go home."

"I'm coming."

"I know you are."

Senan hung up.

He put the phone in his pocket, next to my father's ballad tape, and rubbed his hands together.

"Everything," he said. "Did you hear that? Your da would have laughed."

They put me in the back of the van with the door open to wait.

The younger man stood at the door with his hands in his sweatshirt. The first one sat in front with the engine running for the heat.

Senan walked up and down the gravel on the phone.
