Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 1325

Andre narrowed his eyes, locked onto the target, and squeezed the trigger—another perfect shot, right through the center. “The Dark Web’s after Maja because they want to know where the goods ended up. Ever since we cut off one of their networks, things have been ugly between us. The only reason they’re keeping quiet is because they don’t have the guts to make a move—yet. If they can’t track down Maja, they’ll go after the Martin family instead. The Dark Web doesn’t play nice.” Just look at the way they’d kidnapped his wife and son—pure rats, the lot of them.

He fired again. Bullseye. “Whatever went down in the past, it doesn’t matter now. Maja’s Conner’s sister-in-law. My brother’s problems are my problems. We have to find her.”

With every shot landing dead-on, Andre finally set down his gun and muttered, “Haven’t practiced in ages—getting rusty.”

He had no idea his little son had been watching the whole time, completely starstruck. Henry was Dad’s littlest, most loyal fan. “Daddy, pick me up! Love Daddy, Daddy kiss! Daddy hug!” he chirped.

Andre scooped him up, and the little guy puckered his lips for a kiss on Dad’s cheek, already laying on the charm before making his pitch. “Daddy, let me play too! Pew pew pew!” He added his own machine gun sound effects for good measure.

Andre hefted Henry up. “You’re way too little, kiddo. Maybe when you’re bigger. Right now, you can’t even hold it.”

Henry pouted, wriggled, and tried to put up a fuss, but Andre gave in and played along for a bit before quickly carrying him away.

By four in the afternoon, Andre and his son were ready to head out.

Asher stopped them and handed his godson a gold bullet, engraved with an intricate pattern. “Don’t lose this, kid. One day, this is your golden ticket—you’ll be able to boss around all your godfather’s guys.”

Henry almost chucked it into the sea.

Andre snatched it back and tossed it to Asher. “He’s two, man. What’s he supposed to do with this?”

Asher shot him a look. “I didn’t give it to you, so what’s your problem?” He walked over and fastened the bullet around Henry’s neck himself. “Besides, you gave us those hidden badges. Everyone’s got a backup plan. I live life staring down the barrel—never know when things will go sideways. Gotta make sure my boy’s got something from me.”
