Fall For My Ex’s Mafia Father

Chapter 58

Willingly, I follow Jerome and my other guard out of the room and

into the hall. The three of us scurry towards the door, guilt roiling in me to be the
cause of so much strife. Before I step out the door, though, I hear a little voice
call out behind me.

“Wait!” it says.

I turn to see Romulus running down the stairs, a little book in his hands. He
dashes to meet me at the door. “I found this in

my closet!” he says, “a long time ago!” He holds up the book to me and I can see
that it's a very small photo album. I take it from him gently and flip it open,
shocked to see that it's images of my mother’s wedding day-

And, oh my god — that I'm in them-

“That's you, right?” Romulus says, peeking at the pages of the book, pointing at
the picture of my mother.

“No,” I say softly. “That was my mom. Thank you for showing it to me, Romulus,”
I say, looking down at him gratefully. I push it back. towards him, as the noise
escalates in the next room. I hope that some day I'll be able to look through it
more closely, but now, it definitely seems like time to go —

“No, I you can keep it,” Romulus says, smiling up at me. “And

maybe, when you come back, you can bring me a present.” He gives me a big
smile and I can't stop myself from laughing.

“A fair trade,” I say and then jerk up, suddenly, at a crash I hear

from the sitting room.

“You'd better go,” he says, nodding at me.

“Will you be okay?” I ask, looking over his shoulder.

“Sure,” he says, grinning at me with confidence. “This happens all

the time.”

“Miss,” one of my guards says, again tugging at my arm.

“Okay,” I say, following my guard. “It was nice meeting you!” I call back to — wow,
to my little brother.

“You too!” he says, waving to me as I go.

As I sit in the car on the way home, I clutch the photo album in my hands, not yet
ready to open and explore it. What the hell was I going to find inside?

Kent is waiting for me as I come back into the house. “Well?” He asks, smirking
at me as he leans against the wall in the entry.

“That was a fast little family dinner.”

I glare at him a little, taking off my coat and handing it to the waiting
housekeeper. “Why didn’t you tell me I had a step-mom?”

He laughs then, low. “Il wanted you to have the pleasure of getting

to know Tristin Alden all on your own. Tell me, how long did it take

her to kick you out? Five minutes? Ten?”

“More like three,” I say, wrapping my
arms around myself, the photo album
pressed against my chest. “I

indicated that I recognized the sugar
bowl and she...didn't like that. Said I

was stealing her kids" inheritance.”

Kent laughs harder at that, shaking his head a little. Then, his eyes light on the
photo album. “What's that?” he asks.

“Very interesting,” he says, but

thankfully he doesn't push it. “Dinner

as I head up the stairs. “Considering
