Fall For My Ex’s Mafia Father

Chapter 67

“Um,” I say, hesitating a little. “I think I'd like to...visit the bathroom,” I say, “before
I take that on.”

“Of course,” Kent says, turning with me, putting a hand on my back to show me
the way.

“Dad,” Daniel says, his face frustrated as he steps in front of us. “I'll take her,” he
says, shaking his head. “You've been kind of

hovering all night —"

“Nonsense,” Kent says, frowning at him and nudging me forward. As a trio, we
head towards the alcove with the little restroom sign.

Daniel pushes the point further.

“Seriously, dad,” he murmurs, “you can go, I'll stay by her side — I

can handle this —"

“No, you can’t Daniel,” his father snaps, taking an aggressive step

towards him, cutting me off in my path. “You have no idea what

the politics are in this room — who it might be dangerous for her to

talk to who is out for blood, who could be a possible friend.”

Daniel's face twists, angry. “And whose fault is that, dad?” he asks, his voice hurt
and stubborn. “You never involve me in these

“It's your fault, Daniel,” Kent snarls, Daniel falling silent. “It's your

fault. Before tonight you've never been interested in the family business — always
more interested in college, and books, and

out a hand towards me, “what, suddenly you know what you're doing in this
world? Suddenly you're a boss, a Don, in the business?”

Daniel frowns at his father, crossing his arms across his chest, clearly hurt. “I can
handle myself,” he says, still angry but a little cowed. He knows, deep down, that
his father has a point.

Kent opens his mouth to speak again but I push past him, eager to get away.
“Um, I'm going to go to the bathroom,” I say, looking over my shoulder at them.
“While you two...sort this out.” They ignore me, turning to continue the argument
even in my absence.

When I come out of the bathroom a few minutes later, Kent is still standing there,
but Daniel is not.

“Where did he go?” I ask, looking around for him.

“He went to cool off,” Kent murmurs, his arms crossed. I can tell he’s still pissed,
but he’s putting on a controlled front for everyone in the room.

Just then, a waiter at the front of the room rings a gong. I jump and blink a little at
the noise, surprised. What the hell does that mean?

Apparently, everyone else knows, because they start to filter away towards
tables. The waiter scurries over to us, bowing a little. “If

you would please, sir, miss,” he says, gesturing towards the head table. “Just this
way.”

Kent nods and we follow him to a

long rectangular table with just three
seats left. I watch as the waiter pulls

out the furthest chair, gesturing

towards it with a smile and looking

I glance back at Kent, who gives me a
smirk. I narrow my eyes at him a

little, knowing that he's not going to

be of any help. The content is on

With that, I sigh, thanking the waiter

and sinking into the chair seated

directly next to Tristin, my new

wicked stepmother. The content is
