Betrayed by My Mafia Brother novel Chapter 24

Chapter 4

The blow landed hard-Tessa had swung with everything she had. The man’s mask and sunglasses flew off,

and for a stunned second everyone just stared.

He was young-barely twenty, maybe-but too strikingly handsome to mistake for anyone ordinary.
