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

Chapter 332 

“You worry too much about that boy,” Kent says, running his knuckles fondly down my cheek. “He can handle himself.” 

“No, he can’t,” I sigh, giving Kent a dubious little look as I climb out of bed and go searching for my slippers and robe. “Which is why I have to tag–team his emotions with his boyfr-” 

And I freeze mid–sentence, realizing what I just said. And that Kent and I have never had that conversation before. 

“Really,” Kent says, leaning back against the pillows as I turn towards him, grimacing. A wide, eager smile spreads across Kent’s face. “So. Daniel’s got a boyfriend, hmm?” 

“I said nothing,” I say, crossing my arms and glaring at him. 

“Who is it?” Kent asks, his grin growing. 

“Nothing,” I say, raising my eyebrows. “I am a lockbox of secrets.” 

“Fay,” Kent says, leaning forward and laughing at me. “You are at best a basket of secrets. With a very loose weave.” 

“That’s not true!” I gasp, my hands falling. “I kept Daniel’s boyfriend secret for months!” 

“So, he’s had a boyfriend for months,” Kent says, clasping hist

hands victoriously behind his head and leaning further back against the pillows.

“That’s it,” I say, slicing my hand through the air and turning away from him. “No more interrogations when I am sleepy!” And then I lean down to snatch my robe off the floor, pulling it hastily over my body. 

“I’ll give you a coffee if you tell me,” Kent offers. “Do I know him?” 

I glance between Kent and the coffee cabinet, tempted, but then I hold my chin up high, pretending a grace I do not feel. “My loyalty to Daniel is more important than coffee,” I say loftily. And then Kent laughs at me as I slip my feet into my moccasins and head to the door to the passage, pulling it open. 

“I’ll get it out of you, Fay!” Kent calls after me, laughing. “Sooner or later!” 

“Make it worth my while, Kent,” I say, sending him a little wink over my shoulder. “And…maybe I’ll let that little piece slip.’ Then I blow him a cheeky kiss and head down the passage, his laughter ringing out behind me. 

I move quickly through the basement corridor, feeling a little guilty that I’ve let Daniel’s secret slip, but I feel less guilty as I realize that it’s nothing that Kent probably didn’t already know. I mean, if he really cared to know who Daniel has been sleeping with, all he’d have to do is scroll through a couple of month’s worth of security tapes in the upstairs hallway to see Jerome sneaking in and out of Daniel’s room.

If Kent doesn’t know already, it’s because he doesn’t want to.

Cheered a bit at this realization, I climb up the winding staircase to my room and push open the wardrobe door. I’m a little disappointed that Daniel isn’t there waiting for me I want to make things right with him again, uncomfortable that we ended last night on a fight. But I’m also a little cheered, as I realize that it makes my next steps easier. 

Because despite my cute wakeup with Kent, I’m still shaken by my nightmare, and still resolved to do something to make a change, to save our lives even if Kent and Daniel seem to be willing to turn a blind eye to Ivan’s warnings. 

So, I grab my little burner phone out of my desk and, after sending off some quick replies to my dad and Janeen, I open my messages to Ivan. 

Hey, I type out, my fingers flying over the screen. I want to talk. I’m sorry about how everything happened yesterday. Please – I think we can make a deal. 

And then, feeling relieved that I’ve done something, I put the phone away and turn towards my bathroom. But I turn when I hear a little knock at my door. Curious, I quickly cross the room and pull the door open, my face breaking into my smile when I see a little tray with a tiny cup of espresso and a chocolate croissant waiting for me there. 

Pleased, I bend down to pick it up, my mouth already watering as I turn back into my room and kick my door shut behind me.
