fry into the ketchup and popped into in my mouth.
    “Are you gonna be here for a while?”
    He shrugged. “The boss said he wants me around to keep you safe.”
    “I wonder what changed his mind.” Jax hadn’t been keen on anyone from my past being near me, and that made me question a lot of things. Was he being protective? Did he have his own agenda?
    “I don’t know.”
    “Well, I just think it’s strange that you’re here. One minute I’m not allowed to speak to you, and the next you’re my security detail.”
    “You think too much, Bella. Let it go and be happy. And the boss, he’s good to you?”
    I looked at Tony from under my lashes while chewing my food before I spoke. “He’s okay.” I shrugged.
    “He doesn’t force anything, right?”
    “Tony!” I hissed. “Please give a girl some credit, will ya.”
    “You’re like my sister, Bella, if I didn’t ask, your father would come back from the dead and kill me.” A pain stabbed at my chest. My father would’ve never let anyone hurt me. I refuse to be seen as weak, so I brushed it off and smiled. “Yeah, he’s good to me. He took me to the opera.”
    “No shit.” He stretched his facial features, impressed. “That’s cool.”
    “So how about you and Emily?” I wiggled my brows and smiled.
    “Damn woman, eat another fry would ya?” He was flustered.
    I leaned in, planning to give him a hard time when someone cleared their throat over us.
    I quickly took my gaze to the left and saw a tall man wearing a white T-shirt, jeans, and leather jacket. He wore a goatee and his head was shaved. Another man stood closely behind him, watching their surroundings. Goosebumps peppered my flesh with warning that this guy wasn’t good. Tony’s foot nudged mine with his own warning.
    “Can I help you?” Tony asked. I heard a click and knew it was Tony’s gun. He’d have no problem taking this guy out in a restaurant filled with witnesses to protect me, and that’s when I knew why Jax had hired Tony. He must’ve also known Tony was loyal to the death.
    “You can’t help anybody; I have a message for your husband. Tell him we’re watching him and every move he and his crew makes.” The man spoke with a light Russian accent mixed with a little Jersey.
    I wanted to say something, anything. Who did this guy think he was coming at a woman like that? I remained quiet even though it killed me to do it, and I bit my tongue.
    “We are watching you too, Isabella. We see every move you make. It would be such a shame if you were hurt in the crossfire, wouldn’t it?”
    Suddenly the man’s body lurched forward then dropped to the ground. I looked at Tony in shock, but he was on his feet quickly with the barrel of his gun positioned on the forehead of the other man. He spared no time in pulling the trigger. Two lifeless bodies lay at our feet in a pool of crimson blood. The silencer he had on his gun prevented anyone from hearing what had happened. Tony pulled my arm and quickly walked us out.
    My heart raced in my chest. I could hear my heart thump viciously in my ears and the adrenaline was overtaking me and my thoughts. “What the fuck did you do that for?”
    “Bella, shut up!” he yelled as he pushed me into the car. He climbed inside then pulled his phone from his pocket and dialed a number. “Boss, there’s been an incident.” He drew in a deep breath as he sped us away. He spoke to Jax telling him about the Russian, what he’d done, and why. By the end of the call Tony seemed nervous but unexpectedly calmer than he should have been or, at least, calmer than I was.
    The men had been shot in the head and left to bleed out all over the floor. No one seemed to notice before we left, but they would soon and if there were cameras we’d surely go to prison for a long time.
    “Can I speak now?”
    “What?”
    “What are we going to do?”
    He snorted. “You’re not going to do anything except keep your yap shut and let the boss handle this
