Leon
âITâS VERY SIMPLE.â I kept my back to the office as I gazed out of the floor-to-ceiling windows that gave magnificent views of Sydneyâs impressive harbour. âI want your daughter.â
There was silence behind me.
Clearly, Iâd shocked Thomas Hamiltonâone of Sydneyâs most beloved and lauded philanthropistsâinto silence.
Excellent. Keeping him off-balance until heâd agreed to my demands was half the battle.
âWhat do you mean you want my daughter?â he asked.
There was a hint of unsteadiness in his voice. It was very, very slight but I heard it, oh, yes, I did.
I said nothing, letting him stew, watching the yachts in the harbour and the ferry sailing towards Manly, the sunlight touching on the white curves of the iconic Opera House.
Christ, I loved Sydney. Bright and flashy and sexy, with a dark, dirty underbelly. My kind of town.
It was like looking at myself in the mirror.
Leon King. Second son of Augustus King, the erstwhile emperor of Sydneyâs crime scene, now answering for those crimes in a maximum security correctional facility...aka prison.
Yeah, the King is dead. Long live the King.
Or should I say âKingsâ?
The new Kings of Sydney were me and my two brothers, Ajax and Xander, and it wasnât our fatherâs old empire we wanted to inherit, not when we were the ones whoâd toppled it in the first place.
