Tempting The Mafia Twins (Genesis and Kiefer) novel Chapter 15

Cornered In The Bathroom–1

Genesis nervously sipped her water while the table sat quietly absorbing the situation. Kiefer’s arm draped casually

over the back of the booth behind her shoulders while he

kept Eagan on his lap, felt far too familiar. Egan was coloring a picture on the back of his placemat, his tongue poking through his teeth as he focused.

Suddenly Egan popped his head up and looked at his uncle before looking back down and biting the inside of his cheek.

“What do you want to say, kid?” Tadgh questioned him.

“You are staring at me,” he grimaced. “My mom said you are a bully. Are you going to hurt me and my mom?”

“No.” Tadgh gave Genesis an annoyed glance, “I’m not a bully.”

“Yes, you are.” Egan didn’t back down. “My mom told me you and your sister and your sister’s friend bullied her. She said you wouldn’t even eat breakfast with her, and you played

music she hated.”

“Sounds like a bully to me,” Kiefer glared at his brother. 16:46

“You know why,” Tadgh spit back at his brother.

“You should have said something.” Kiefer shot back.

“You should have known.”

“I’m not fucking clairvoyant.”

“You swore!” Egan interrupted the bickering. “Mom doesn’t like swearing.”

“Really because two days ago, she was dropping eff bombs and even see you next Tuesday,” Jerren suddenly piped up.

“You said the c word?” Astra looked at Genesis in awe.

“Yeah, while we were holding her off Aoife. You broke her nose by the way. It needed to be reset.” Jerren continued his storytelling.

“She deserved everything she got.” Genesis grumbled.

“We agree,” Kiefer rubbed her shoulder reassuringly. “My father met her plane this morning and she is being managed.”

You didn’t do it yourself?” Genesis was disgusted.

“Weak 16:46

She insulted him and she knew it.

“While I’m the head of the family here in America, my father is the head of our family overall. What I want for her punishment is not my decision to make. When it comes to his children, he gets the final say.”

“I’ve met your mother, Kiefer. Your sister is the way she is because your mother thinks the sun shines out her arse. She’s going to get away with what she did.” Genesis couldn’t fight the bitterness spewing from her lips. She threw her napkin on the table, “Astra, I need a minute. Watch Egan please?”

“I’ll guard him with my life,” Astra slid round the back of the booth to move closer to the boy.

She glared at Kiefer, “can you move? I need the ladies‘ room.”

“Of course,” he turned his body and Egan’s, so they were half out of the booth.

Squeezing past, them she stomped off to the bathroom and slammed her fists against the cheap countertop and glared at herself in the mirror. It was all her fault. She should have told Astra they weren’t stopping for dinner. They should have kept on moving. The urge to scream at the top of her lungs as Réworld

world felt like it was imploding into her was nearly 16:46

overwhelming.

She needed to find a way out for her, Egan, and Astra. There was no way she could belong to a family again where she and her child would be treated as less than because she didn’t have O’Reilly blood running through her veins. Aoife would always be the true daughter of the family and her bitch of a best friend, the sister of the man accompanying the twins today, was always going to get her get out of jail free card because of her connection to both Aoife and Jerren.

She leaned over the sink and turned the tap on, splashing cool water over her face hating herself for the burning in her eyes and the ache in her throat from the unshed tears. She should be stronger than this and here she was, hiding in a bathroom, trying not to cry over her misfortune once again.

Lifting her face to look in the mirror she caught sight of the man entering the bathroom behind her.

“This is the ladies‘ room. Get out.”

“Why are you crying?” Kiefer called her out. “This is a good thing, a joyous thing. Our family is whole.”
