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

Chapter 96 

The next day, I go down to the kitchen in my riding clothes and 

wait. And wait. 

I have my breakfast with Daniel, waving him off as he goes to class, and then have about five more tiny cups of espresso as I 

wait so me more. 

I’m practically buzzing when Kent finally deigns to come into the room, which is, as usual, busy with activity. 

He doesn’t even look at me as he sweeps through the room, stopping to check on those cooking this morning, and then heading to the back corner, where the older captains sit. He joins them and consult for awhile, making plans for whatever their next 

move is. 

I grit my teeth, realizing that I’m going to have to wait a little longer. 

I cross to the espresso machine to make myself 

To pass the… 

another cup. 

Forty–five minutes later, Kent walks swiftly past me, headed for 

the door. 

Pissed – I know he saw me sitting here, I know he’s doing this on 

purpose – I stand up and call after him.

“Kent!” I call.

He stops in his tracks and then slowly turns to look at me, an eyebrow raised. Otherwise, though, his body gives no indication of what he’s thinking or feeling. 

“Can I get a ride, please?” I ask. “To the stables?” 

Kent’s eyes flick over me and then he gives a little laugh. “No time today,” he says as he pushes through the door. “Maybe tomorrow. If I’m feeling generous.” 

I glare at the door as it swings shuts. 

God damnit. This was my real punishment. 

Finishing my tiny cup of coffee, I head upstairs and get changed, opting for a comfortable pair of leggings and a sweater. Then, I flop onto my bed, realizing that I have…absolutely nothing to do. 

I sigh, glancing over at my books, but not wanting to read them. It’s moments like this when I really miss Fiona. She was always a bright spot in my day, making me laugh, filling up my time by dressing me up and playing with my hair like her own little. 

human–sized barbie. 

Sitting up, I wonder about where she is now. I hope she’s okay, that she got somewhere safe. That she’s happy, living a good life. 

It’s so strange, realizing someone you’d come to love is your

biological family in the moment when you say goodbye to them. Fiona was good to me perhaps because I am her cousin. She taught me so many skills that I’ve found useful already in this 

mafia life, skills I’m not sure I truly appreciated until now. 

I wonder, too, if she was also giving me hints about how to defy Kent. Considering that she was, apparently, here the whole time 

as a spy herself – . 

Perhaps she was preparing me to take her place. 

I pale a little at the idea, still not knowing- not really – where my 

allegiances like. With Daniel, certainly, but between Kent and my 

father, the true real powers at play here? 

Whose side was I on? Perhaps neither. 

But Fiona. She was the one who showed me, first, that there’s more to this house than meets the eye. And that if I’m sneaky, I can find some really interesting – and potentially useful stuff in the house’s most under–explored corners. 

A wicked little smile crosses my face then. 

Well. If Kent won’t keep me out of trouble by taking me to visit my horse, then I guess…trouble it is. 

I bounce out of bed, putting on my slippers, and head out into the 

hallway.
