Fall For My Ex’s Mafia Father

Chapter 72

1/4

When we finally reach the black sedan, Kent and Daniel climb into the back seat
on either side of me, sandwiching me in the middle. Pressed between them, I fold
my hands between my knees and try my best to breathe evenly.

“Go,” Kent says firmly to Carlos, who obediently peels out. Kent continues to look
out the window, surveying the landscape for any

more threats which he didn't catch the first time.

Daniel, instead, turns to me. He takes my face in my hands.

and carefully looks me over. When he ascertains that I'm not scratched or
bruised, he moves on to the rest of my body, putting a hand on my knee and
taking me in.

“How are you, Fay?” he asks quietly. “Are you hurt?”

“I'm f-f—fine,” I say, shivering a little. I don’t know whether it's

shock still, or perhaps the cold-

Suddenly, I remember my beautiful mink stole — still in the coat

check at the country club. I turn backwards to look out the rear

window with a little “oh,” regretting the loss of it.

“What,” Kent says, worried, following my gaze. I instantly feel

guilty — here he is, looking for assassins wielding guns or blades

and here I am, sorry to have lost my coat.

“N-nothing,” I say, looking up at him. I notice that he’s still clutching his arm and
that blood is still seeping from behind his

hand.

I lean across him to look at it. “Are y—you all right?”

“I'm fine,” he says, pulling away from me with gritted teeth. “Just

a graze — nothing the guys at home can’t patch up-"

I look up into his face, then, my eyes wide, finally putting the pieces together—
god, what the hell took me so long “do you

mean you were shot!?”

Kent looks at me, then, frustrated and like he doesn’t know what

to say — because of course he was shot.

The knowledge, though- after all that we've been through tonight

— sends me. I lean back into the leather of the seat, my whole

body shaking, pressing my teeth together so that they won't

clatter.

“Oh my god, Fay,” Daniel says, pulling off his coat and wrapping

it around me. He looks towards his father, who looks straight

forward in the car. “What should I do for her??”

“Nothing,” his father says. “She’ll get through it. Just keep her warm. Everyone's
first time is rough.”

Daniel wraps his arms around me as the tears start to leak from my

eyes, sliding down my cheeks in a silent torrent. All of a sudden, I'm so fed up
with all of this

So fed up with this world, with this life—how people think it's just normal to have a
first shootout, as if there will be more and I'll just

get used to them-

I saw people die tonight—people with families—people who were coming after me,
maybe, trying to take me because I'm a powerful pawn in whatever fucking game
they're playing—Kent and Alden

and Daniel

I hate them all then hate everything they stand for,

Daniel tries to be kind to me, tries to shush me and stroke my hair

softly.

“I hate this,” I whisper between my clattering teeth. “I hate this, I

hate this life, I hate everything it represents-“I turn to Daniel then, hurt and
damage all over my face. “I wish I'd never met you- I was right to dump you the
first time, when

But I snap my mouth shut. I don’t mean all of it, not really—1

don't hate him. If 1 did, I'd tell his dad his secret to punish him

for wrapping me all up in this for not letting me go, for being

complicit in keeping me here, trapped in this life, when all I want to

do is leave.

“I'm sorry, Fay,” Daniel says softly, and I can tell by the quilt in his

face that he means it.

“Then let me go,” I plead, desperate.

Slowly, though, he shakes his head.
