Fall For My Ex's Mafia Father novel Chapter 307

“Ivan,” I breathe, shaking my head, my whole body trembling again.

“Back up, Fay,” he says, lifting his chin towards me. “Let me in.”

I do has he says, backing up until I’m almost at the bed. His gun still trained on Daniel and Jerome, still kneeling at Daniel’s feet, Ivan climbs through the window, standing up straight.

Daniel takes a moment to look Ivan over and then he groans, putting his head in his hand and turning away in disbelief. “A cop?! You’re a fucking cop, Ivan?!”

“Damn straight,” Ivan murmurs, though his face remains serious. “Born and bred. I want you back against that wall, Lippert,” Ivan commands, nodding to the far wall behind Jerome, where Ivan can keep the gun on both of them at once. “Hands up where I can see them.”

Daniel obeys, his face set in an unhappy frown as he glares at Ivan and shakes his head, but he obeys nonetheless. “Fay,” Ivan continues, once Daniel is in place. He doesn’t look at me, his eyes still trained on the boys. “I also want you in my line of sight, pressed there against the other wall.” He nods next to him, to an empty space next to my desk. Slowly, I move to it so that he can see me while he concentrates on Daniel and Jerome.

“Good,” Ivan says. Then, he turns his attention to Jerome. “Hands behind your head,” he commands. Jerome lifts his hands, scowling at Ivan with real hate in his eyes. Slowly, I raise my hands as well. “Not you, Fay,” Ivan growls, rolling his eyes a little bit.

“What?” I ask.

“You’re not under arrest,” he tells me, glancing a little in my direction.

“What!?” I ask again, my voice an octave higher this time, completely confused. Ivan huffs a sigh of frustration.
