Betrothed To The Mafia Lord novel Chapter 343

James’ pov

I hated to admit it to myself that after I had dropped Blair off at her apartment after she had gotten discharged from the hospital, I had been unable to get her out of my head, which I wasn’t happy about.

When I had informed Luca and Luca that I was going to be unable to make it to Travis’ apartment because I already had plans, of course they had both automatically assumed I did that because of some random chick which I wanted to fuck. And of course I had let them believe hat on purpose, because there was no way in hell that I’d be telling them the actual truth which was that I wasn’t going to a club that night, but was going to go pick up Blair from her apartment and take her out to dinner, like we had both agree on the day I had dropped her off at her apartment.

There was just no way I could tell them that, because I wasn’t sure I understood why I was actually doing all these yet. It was most definitely not because of the money of my ruined suit and the money I had spent in paying her hospital bills… so, what was it then?

I shook my head a little to get the thoughts out of my head, because it was starting to make my head hurt.

I was currently driving towards her apartment, and I couldn’t even ignore the slight excited feeling in my chest even if I had wanted to. A part of me had kept constantly thinking about her and if she had been okay after I had dropped her off, and if she really didn’t have anyone to call like she had claimed bsck st the hospital.

There was no denying it, I was worried about her. Perhaps that was why I was feeling this drawn to her, because never have I ever felt this drawn to someone before.

Maybe after I see her tonight and confirm that she was perfectly fine, I was going to inform her at the end of the dinner that I hadn’t planned on taking any money from her, and then I’d bid her a nice life and be on my own way.

That was it. I said to myself as I slowly got closer to her apartment. The poor structure of the environment and her apartment made me wrinkle my nose a little as I got down from my car. I hated how poor and unhealthy this place looked, and if she wasn’t so bitchy and feisty, I’d have offered her a place to stay without collecting a dime for her, just to ensure that she was living in a safe and sound environment.

I climbed the stairs of her apartment, because they unfortunately do not have an elevator, which I really think is absurd.

When I knocked on her door, I had thought she was going to keep me waiting on purpose, and a part of me had even wondered if she wasn’t going to show up – but the door had been pulled open almost immediately and she was stepping out to close the door behind her, before I could even get a glimpse of the interior of her apartment.

I looked her up and down and wrinkled my nose as I took in her appearance, of course she had to make it obvious that she didn’t want to doing this right now, all the way to her outfit. A pair of huge pants hugged her hips and a hoodie I’d call ugly balanced the whole outfit, her hair was also in a a face cap.

“Why are you dressed like this?” I asked as I folded my hand and didn’t bother to hide my disappointment.

She only rolled my beautiful green eyes at me as she began to speak. “What? Did you think I was going to get all dressed up for you? If you’ve forgotten, I’d gladly remind you that I do not want to do this in the first place.”
