Fall For My Ex’s Mafia Father

Chapter 145
The door to Kent's office is wide open when Daniel and I arrive, so we step in,
still holding hands. Daniel pushes it closed behind us and I spend a little longer
than necessary looking at the dark wood of the closed door, remembering what
had happened there only a few hours ago.
When I turn to look at Kent, I anxiously take a step closer to Daniel's side. Is Kent
seriously going to tell Daniel what happened last night? I hope, fervently, that he
won't. Daniel would feel so betrayed, and I can’t hurt him like that.
But Kent gives nothing away, standing there behind his desk, his arms
characteristically crossed over the hard muscles of his chest. My eyes flit over his
body and I despite myself I can’t help remembering the hard contours of his form
pressed against mine — the feel of him hard and ready for me —
I gulp, dragging my eyes back up to his stern face, refusing to let my mind go
there.
“Come,” Kent demands, glancing towards the two chairs set in front of his desk.

Daniel and I do as we are ordered, walking quickly across the room and settling
ourselves in the chairs. He gives my palm a little pulse with his fingers before
dropping my hand, silently letting me

know that our agreement still stands, that we're on each other's
side.
God, I hope that by the end of this meeting that's still true. Anxious, I fold my
hands in my lap.
“We have decisions to make,” Kent says sternly, looking first at Daniel, and then
at me. “After Fay’s embarrassing display yesterday,” he continues, fixing his eyes
on me, “I frankly don’t see any point in going forward with this charade of an
engagement.”
My mouth drops open in shock and I hear Daniel give a little cry of
protest.
Kent holds up a hand, though, silencing him and continuing. “It's not as if you,
Daniel,” Kent says, “have done very much to ensure her fidelity. I'm aware that
the two of you don’t have much of a romantic connection, and I've never cared
about that, but you've
certainly taken no pains to ensure that your bride is content enough to keep in
line.”
I glance over at Daniel and see that he’s blushing at this,
chagrined.
“We can be better,” I hear myself blurt, speaking without thinking. “Daniel and I
will spend more time together — we'll make sure that we're seen in public, having
fun, being...being romantic...”
I bite my lip, wondering, really, how much it will take to wipe the

memory of my date with Ivan from people's minds. But then, at the thought of
Ivan, my stomach turns over a bit. Despite his betrayal, his public display of what
I thought was a secret date, I have to
admit that I am attracted to him.
Is this really what I want? To be tied to Daniel in a loveless relationship, when
