Fall For My Ex’s Mafia Father

Chapter 235
I make myself a little espresso before heading up the stairs because, if I'm going
to be up at 4:30 in the morning, I'm al least going to be caffeinated. And then the
hours pass more quickly than I thought they would. I shower, fix my hair, and
change into the clothes that are delivered promptly at six. I look curiously at the
blue-and-white flowered dress and sweet pair of strappy tan sandals that Kent
selected for me today, a little disappointed that it's not riding clothes. He's
certainly not sending me to the stables, but where on earth am I going in this?
I'm ready for the day a little before 6:30, though, and so I grab my phones — both
of them — and flick through the messages from Janeen, Daniel, and Ivan.
Janeen’s are the most cheerful, just little updates on her life and pictures from
the shore house. I'm a little jealous when I see those, wanting to be there with
her and hoping I get to go soon.
The ones from Ivan...I just skim, not wanting to address the feelings they rise in
me. There's nothing big there anyway — just casual greetings and asking if I'm
okay. I close them quickly, not wanting to reply. Not now, at least.
Daniel's texts, however...I grimace a little when I see all fifty-eight of them. They
start casually enough, but by the end I can see that he’s flipping out a little bit,
anxious to know where I am but then also...well, a litte mean when he figures
out that

I'm with his dad instead of with him. I sigh, tossing the phone back onto the desk
and wondering what the hell I'm going to do
about it.
But then the little clock down the hall gives a tiny chime, as it always does at the
half hour, and I head downstairs, ready to meet my fate.
I'm surprised at how much the kitchen has filled in the past two hours, but not
displeased. I'm starting to like the buzz and the energy of the place in the
morning. I move quickly to the espresso machine, wanting another little jolt to
start my day, and the trio of older gentlemen in the corner all give me friendly
smiles and raise their cups to me. I smile at them and wave back, pleased that
they're starting to know and acknowledge me now.
My espresso in hand, I head to me and Daniel's little table. He's not there yet, but
1 know I can wait for him. Jerome, doing dishes in the kitchen, gives me a little
wink to say hi and I smile at him as the kitchen door opens and Daniel enters the
room.
My smile falls a little as I get a look at him when he sits down. across from me.
He looks — well, he looks like shit, quite frankly, unwashed with dark circles under
his eyes. I lean forward a little and sniff, realizing that he smells like...whiskey? I
don’t know. Some kind of strong spirit.
“What,” Daniel snaps. “Do you have a problem with the way I look?"
“Ew, Daniel,” I say, leaning back in my chair and raising my

espresso cup to my lips. “That's a nasty little tone for so early in the morning.”
Daniel glowers at my response, a little pissed — I realize that I don't gasp and
apologize as I would usually do. I glance quickly at Jerome, who watches us from
the corner of his eye, suddenly grateful for his warning. Because if I hadn't had
his little tip, I'd certainly be thrown off and probably bowled over by Daniel's
anger. But now? I can stand my ground, just a little.
