Chapter 337
I gasp at this, at the gall of him, smacking lightly at him and laughing until he pulls away, laughing himself.
"Hypocrite!" I gasp, shaking my head at him with a big smile on my face. "It's not like you don't have secrets from us."
"What?" he says, still laughing though his smile faulters a bit. "What secrets do I have from you?"
"Well, for instance," I say, raising my eyebrows at him. "Whatever it is that you were talking about with Alessi today, in your office."
Kent's face drops then, going suddenly cold. "What?"
"In your office," I push, though a new anxiety wipes my own smile from my face. "Something about...a shipment, and a delivery. And the police not knowing?"
Kent draws away from me then, his arms going slack as he stares at me. "Were you...were you listening in on me? On my private conversation, Fay?"
I hesitate, blushing and looking down at the sheets. "The door was...open...a little bit..."
My heart starts to pound as Kent folds his arms over his chest, letting me fall out of his lap to land awkwardly against the

sheets. "Seriously, Fay?" he asks. "The door wasn't completely closed, and you took that as an...invitation?"
"We were walking by," I murmur, still looking down at the blankets. "We couldn't help but hear..."
"Who?" he asks, his voice sharp now, making me look up at him. "Who was walking by?"
"Me and Daniel," I answer, my own voice mostly a whisper now.
"Is that all?" he snaps, staring hard at me.
"Yes," I say, sitting up straight and starting to get mad at the accusation behind his words. "Kent, I'm not lying to you. I just wanted to know -"
"I already told you, Fay," Kent sighs, starting to stand up from the bed. "You don't need to know I'll tell you what you need to know -"
"Kent!" I exclaim, getting up on my knees as he stands up from the bed and turns away from me. "Seriously, Kent! You're being
unfair!"
He turns to me, anger flashing in his expression, the private Kent I've come to know in this room erased in favor again for the Mafia King. "I never promised to be fair, Fay. To protect you? Yes. To provide a home for you? Yes. To let you into my inner dealings? My work?" He just shakes his head and heads towards his closet, clearly pissed off.

"Kent!" I yell, angry and worried now. I climb off the bed and follow after him.
