Fall For My Ex’s Mafia Father

Chapter 154
1/3
It's almost dark that evening when I pull up to the gates to Kent's estate. I spent
the day with Janeen, planning my next steps, letting the sound of her laugher and
warm advice wash over me like a healing balm. I also let her curl my hair into
sexy waves and exchange my slouchy sweater and leggings for a pair of tight
jeans and a turtleneck, all black. She spent some time doing my makeup too,
transforming me into the smokey—eyed femme fatale I felt I needed to be to take
this next step.
The gates slide open without hesitation and I pull the car through. Instead of
heading around the back of the house to the garages, though, I curve around the
driveway and park directly before the front door. I take a moment to steel myself
and then step out, looking towards the guard I know will be standing by the door
at
the top of the steps.
I don't let my surprise register when I see that it's Jerome standing there. Instead,
I keep my face blank as I walk slowly up to the door and calmly hand him the
keys to the Prius I borrowed that
morning.
“Next time,” I say softly, holding his eye. “I'm taking the Lexus.”
He blinks at me, shock and confusion on his face, but I brush
past, opening the door myself and leaving it ajar as I walk calmly
into the house.

I head directly for Kent's office, knowing he'll be there. I don't
bother to knock before I open the door.

He turns his head, glaring, opening his mouth to admonish whoever is
interrupting him, but he goes silent when he sees me standing there, my arms
crossed over my chest, a set of papers folded in my hand.
I don't say anything as I cross the room to him. Kent just closes his mouth,
watching me as I walk. I hold his gaze as I stop before him, my expression blank.
Then, slowly, I lean forward and place the signed contract on the desk in front of
him.
“I'm ready when you are,” I purr, looking him directly in the eye.
Then, without another word, I turn and leave him alone in his shocked silence.
As soon as I leave Kent's office, I head right for the kitchen, hurrying my steps.
Janeen and I had planned every moment of that — parking at the front of the
house, demanding a better car from the guard, delivering the contract to Kent
and what I would say as I did it. But now that that's all done I don’t have a script
anymore and I feel my nerves coming back.
What I know I want is a big glass of wine to take upstairs with me, because I
have a feeling Kent isn't going to let this rest tonight and I definitely want
something to calm me down before —

I stop in my tracks as soon as I enter the kitchen. Daniel's sitting right there, at
our breakfast table, reading a book.
Shit. Daniel.
Honestly, I'd forgotten all about him.
He looks up at me and instantly closes his book, coming over
to me. “Fay!” he breathes, relief all over his face as he takes my
hand. “Are you all right? Where have you been all day?”
“Um,” I say, my eyes darting away from him. “I went to see my
sister-"
