Fall For My Ex's Mafia Father novel Chapter 103

That afternoon, I have a lot more fun than I’ve had in a long time. Perhaps made even more fun by the knowledge that when I get home, Kent is going to kill me.

So, I’d better live it up while I can.

“Another!” I call to the bartender, raising my hand to get his attention.

Ivan laughs at me, pulling my hand down. “You know you don’t have to do that, right? He’s been keeping an eye on you all afternoon. There’s no way he’s not going to notice when your drink is empty.”

A few hours ago, in the car, I had asked Ivan to take me somewhere Kent wouldn’t easily find us. He’d smirked and told me he had just the place, driving me across the city to the bad part of town. Then, he’d parked his sparkling Ferrari in front of a decrepit dive bar.

I’d been hesitant at first but he’d taken my hand, telling me to trust him, and pulled me inside.

I’d understood the minute we stepped in the door and my eyes adjusted to the light. With deep red booths ringing the walls and a meticulously polished mahogany bar, this neighborhood bar wasn’t a dump – it was a well-kept secret.

And we’ve been here for about three hours now, drinking and laughing, chasing that reckless feeling that I’ve had since I made the snap decision to get into his car.

“Really?” I ask now, glancing between the bar tender and Ivan. “He’s been keeping an eye on me – like, watching me? Why?”

“Because you’re hot, Fay,” Ivan says, leaning in to whisper it like it’s a secret. I throw my head back and laugh, surprised and tickled by the answer. And, yes, well inclined to laugh now that I’ve got a belly full of tequila.

“Seriously,” Ivan says, smirking at me. “Once he figures out that you’re rich and funny, too, he’s going to lock you in the basement and keep you for himself.”

“Really?” I say, looking at him with wide eyes.

“Is he going to lock you up? Probably, Fay, but I’ve seen that basement and you –“

I giggle, but shake my head. “No,” I say. “Do you really think I’m funny?”
