Fall For My Ex's Mafia Father novel Chapter 59

I just shrug and shake my head as I climb out of the door, letting him know that I have no idea.

I see that Kent has left chaos in his wake on the way to his office, people standing in the hallway staring after him with worried expressions. As I walk slowly into the house, I see Daniel come down the stairs. He catches my eye.

“What happened?” he whispers, looking concerned, but before I can answer Kent comes out of his office again, fury in his every line.

“You two,” he demands. “Upstairs.”

“Dad,” Daniel says, taking another step down, putting out a hand to offer to help –

“I said upstairs!” Kent yells, and Daniel and I both jump. I scurry to where Daniel is standing on the stairs, grabbing his arm and pulling him up with me.

“Seriously, what’s going on?” Daniel whispers to me as he follows.

“I don’t know,” I whisper back, pulling him towards my room. He comes in with me and I shut the door behind us. But even the door can’t block out Kent’s next bellow.

“Fiona! Get down here! Now!”

Daniel stays in my room with me for a while. He won’t admit it as readily as I do, but we’re both scared to leave. We watch old movies, surviving on bottled water and some gummy bears that Daniel had stored away in his room.

Eventually, though, he has to go to his night class. He apologizes as he goes, looking back at sorrowfully as he leaves. I think he knows that I’d pay anything to be go with him right now.

I wait for a little bit, my eyes on the door to see if Fiona will come. Hardly a night passes when she doesn’t stop by my room to say goodnight, at the very least.

But there’s no sign of her.
