Fall For My Ex’s Mafia Father by Caroline Above Story

Chapter 258 

We’re all absolutely silent in the limousine on the way home. Kent sits in the back corner of the car by the door, resting his forehead in his hand and staring down at his knees. While he’s still and silent, I can feel the tension radiating off of him – a mix of anger, and anxiety, and something else…maybe resentment? 

I don’t know. I’m too pissed off and exhausted myself to figure it out. But I watch him closely regardless, looking for some kind of signal regarding his next move. 

Natalia, seated next to Kent, her thigh just accidentally, casually pressed against his in the close quarters of the car, is likewise motionless, simply sitting with her tired eyes closed. Alessi, next to Natalia, and Daniel, on the long bench next to me, both stare out the windows, giving no hint about what they’re thinking or feeling. 

I wonder if they’re all fuming, like I am. If they are, they’re probably doing a better job of hiding it. 

The party went on for hours, until my cheeks ached from my fake smiles as I mingled with Kent’s family, everyone taking their time to greet and consult Natalia and Alessi. I went through the motions, playing my role as Daniel’s perfect bride, but I kept my eyes on Natalia the whole time. Just waiting.

2/3 

I knew the moment when she made her move. I watched her do 

1. il. 

I watched her tug Kent’s sleeve, so hesitant, probably looking to anyone else like she just hated to be the bearer of bad news as she drew him away to a quiet corner. I watched her stand on her toes to whisper in his ear, her face motherly and anxious for Daniel’s sake. I watched Natalia’s hand brush up her own thigh. as she told Kent all the details about how Ivan had me pulled against him when she caught us. 

And I watched Kent raise his eyes to mine after just a few seconds of Natalia’s report, focusing instantly on me as if he had already known exactly where I was standing and didn’t have to search for me in this busy room. I watched his face go dark with anger as he listened. And as Natalia ratted me out in what. I’m sure were the most scandalous terms she could think of- honestly, she probably did it in Italian, just for the effect – I held Kent’s gaze even as his turned lethal. Through all of it, I kept my face totally impassive. 

Because, honestly? I didn’t do a damn thing wrong. I have nothing to apologize for. 

Kent glared at me for a long moment before turning back to Natalia, thanking her quietly before moving away. And it was done. 

I know that I’ll have to face him sooner or later, and frankly I’m looking forward to it. Because, honestly, fighting with Kent? It’s going to be way casier than parsing out what the hell happened 

Chapter 258 with Ivan tonight.
