Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Mia nodded understandingly. Her eyes were welling up with tears as she watched her husband.

Bruce stood up too. "Naomi, something just came up at work. Don't wait up for me."

Naomi blinked in surprise. "What? Both you and Andre suddenly have something to do?"

Leo also got up to leave, but his father laid a hand on his shoulder. "Stay home, and keep your mother company."

For once, Bruce and Andre, the unusual duo, left the house together.

They drove to an old neighborhood, where a lonely, untamed oak tree stood in the courtyard. The moment they stepped out of the car, they were engulfed in an oppressive atmosphere. They had Finley's address, so the brothers went straight upstairs.

Tom, who was upstairs, heard the sound of a car approaching. He peered out the window and was surprised to see it was the Cedillo brothers. Frowning, he said, "Boss, it's Bruce and Andre." Finley, who was about to finish his meal, paused. His gaze was turning cautious. "Is Chad here?" he asked.

Tom shook his head. "No."

Finley pondered. The arrival of the Cedillo brothers instead of Chad meant their man in custody was safe, and Chad hadn't gathered enough evidence to investigate them. For them, as long as it's not Chad, they could handle it. "Boss, do you think it's about the incident sixteen years ago?" Tom asked.

Finley shook his head again. "If it's about that case, Chad wouldn't let it go." He suddenly thought of Ellory and Kyle, who had failed to make a mark.

Just then, there was a knock at the door. Finley looked at the dark wooden door, calmed his mind, and said, "Open it!"

Tom went to the door, and glanced at the two men outside. They were a pair of brothers with a significant age gap. Their faces were taut, exuding a cold, stern anger.
