Brandon exhaled, tension knotting his shoulders. “I wasn’t expecting your call.”

“Yeah, well, I have information on Bernardo,” Michael said.

Brandon stilled. This was the kind of leverage they needed.

“One hundred percent,my source doesn’t lie,” Michael confirmed. “I’ll send you the details soon. But be careful. If Bernardo finds out we’re digging into his past, he won’t hesitate to strike first.”

Brandon nodded to himself. This changed everything.
