Tempting The Mafia Twins (Genesis and Kiefer) novel Chapter 50

Eye Opening Panic-2

“This is bad. I’m going to pull in the old housekeeping staff and find out how many panic attacks like this she endured in the past. I’ll also call the guard watching Aoife right now and have him interrogate her again. I want to know if Genesis ever did this before.” Tadgh’s fury was palpable. “If this was happening back then, why the fuck did nobody tell us?”

Kiefer held Genesis in his arms while she cried pitifully, watching his brother walk away towards the bathroom. The sound of running water as he got the cloth Kiefer requested making Genesis tense in his arms.

She could hear their quiet conversations and as the panic and terror ebbed away, embarrassment and humiliation took over. Her tears dwindled as she felt the cool cloth pressed to the back of her neck.

“Can you let me go?” she asked Kiefer as she tried to slowly extricate herself from his arms.

“I’m worried, Gen. You were completely out of it. You didn’t seem to know who we were, and you punched a housekeeper and called her a bitch.”

“Genesis, did this happen before? When you lived here before?” Kiefer asked as if praying her answer was no.

“A couple of times in the month before I left,” she sniffled as she took the cloth off her neck and threw it into a bin. “I’m not weak.”

“I love you Genesis Jones and O’Reilly men don’t say those words lightly, You’re mine until I take my last breath.”

His words the night she accepted his marriage proposal echoed in the chasm of her mind. For her those words were a fulfillment of a need in her to know the man was vowing to never let her go the way everyone else in her past did.

4xcept he did leave you, Genesis,” she punched the the wall angrily. “He did leave you all alone in this house for people to hurt you.” She sucked her knuckle into her mouth as she realized the tile was marble and hard as hell.

“Hold onto this pain, Genesis. Do not let it go because the minute you do, this family is going to suck you back in and destroy your soul.”

With this warning in her heart, Genesis strengthened her resolve and reminded herself she could live on her own without needing anyone except her son. She simply needed to get her head back on straight and in the game.
