Fall For My Ex's Mafia Father novel Chapter 159

Twenty minutes later, Fay slips out of her room, dragging a little powder-blue wheeled suitcase behind her, dressed in a casual white tennis skirt and an oversized varsity sweater that Kent picked out for her before he left her room.

At the bottom of the stairs, both Ivan and Kent watch her descend. They’ve been there the whole time, waiting. They didn’t say a word to each other.

“’Bout time, gorgeous,” Ivan says with a smile, coming forward and reaching out a hand to help Fay down the last few steps. She beams at him.

“Oh, come on,” she replies, wrinkling her nose playfully. “I’m worth the wait.”

Kent feels fury build in him as he forces himself to watch the exchange. He wants nothing more than to step forward and punch that satisfied smirk right off of Ivan’s face as he looks Fay over from head to foot. But Kent does nothing, doesn’t move at all, burying the desire deep inside. It’s not worth it.

There’s the creak of a door, then, and Ivan, Kent, and Fay all turn towards the kitchen as Daniel comes into the hall, taking a big bite of the sandwich in his hand, his mind clearly elsewhere. Daniel stops in his tracks when he sees them all staring at him and slowly swallows his bite. “What’s…going on?” he asks, wary.

“Hey Daniel,” Ivan calls, raising his chin to him, not letting go of Fay’s hand. “Nice to see you again.”

“Daniel, come here,” Kent commands, not giving Daniel a chance to respond. “Come say goodbye to your fiancé. She’s off for a little…trip.”

Both Daniel and Fay raise their eyebrows at Kent’s use of that word, Ivan looking between them, but Kent ignores them all. He has his own reasons. Daniel crosses to the unlikely group, his eyes on Fay.

“Where you going?” Daniel asks with a confused frown.

“Away for the night,” she replies, attempting a little smile. “It’s a…surprise?”
