Doted On By The Mafia Boss novel Chapter 27

She looked at him and intoned, “I... I know about her. You don’t have to pretend as if you are caring for me and give me false hopes.” Ryan felt as if thunder clapped down on him; he was already having blues if he ever heard anyone mention about her. Let alone now when Bee, the girl who was as important to him as her, was pushing him away because of her. His chest started to tighten as he let go of her and sat blankly, without knowing what to do.

The room fell as silent as a graveyard; the only sound which frequented was the fan spinning above them and Bee who was hiccupping every now and then. He spoke up, “No... It’s not what you think... I...”

“Cathey loves Ryan... It was a really beautiful drawing.” Bee spoke up, cutting through his words. This statement was enough for him to understand that she had seen everything he treasured in his room. Like a thief who was caught red handed Ryan couldn’t say anything for himself. “You... saw everything?” was the only thing he managed to pull out of his lips.

Bee folded her legs and nuzzled away from him deep into her pillow, saying, “Does that... even matter.” Ryan saw the girl pulling herself away from him as if he was a plague; he knew what all she was thinking and what she must be seeing him as.

He wanted to say something but he felt a lump in his throat, forbidding him from speaking anything. The man looked away, his handsome side profile reeked of remorse and misery. His Adam’s apple bogged a few times before he closed his eyes; Bee sat there silently without knowing what to do, seeing that he was silent for too long she bit down on her lips before accumulating courage to say, “Send... Send me back home. I don’t want to be here anymore.”

Ryan felt his soul being torn into shreds hearing her words; his heart was shattering into pieces. He didn’t want to let her go, it was after she came he was finally starting to be happy. It was only after she came he was seeing rainbows after rain... He wanted her to be with him but... what right did he have to do so.

The things that Jack said that day started flooding his mind; his assistant was right, he couldn’t keep her imprisoned and do this to her. She already knew everything and had already come to her own conclusion; what could he even do now. Even if he wanted to... He had no idea what to say to her.

Without saying a single word the man stood up and left leaving behind a Bee who was shattering into pieces inside. She really anticipated something from him; she really wished he would have an explanation for her. Even if he lied to her once that it was not true she would have gladly believed him but not only the man stuttered, he also left without saying a single word.

She was a fool; she was a really big fool. Bee now knew nothing else than that she wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. She buried her head in her knees and started crying.

Back in his room, Ryan stood in front of the drawings that were seen by Bee. His eyes were piercing through the couple one; when he left her room he was not himself. He didn’t know where his legs were taking him; he aimlessly let his body stride just to notice that they bought him to his room and stopped right in front to the couple drawing.

He stared unwaveringly at her name without batting an eyelid; he was so lost in his own thoughts that he didn’t notice Jack entering the room. One look and Jack understood that something was really not right, he asked, “What happened?”

His interruption managed to pull back the man to his senses but he was still as numb as ever; he blinked vigorously to hide the wetness of his eyes. Without turning back he slowly muttered, “Send her back.”
