Fall For My Ex’s Mafia Father

Chapter 87

Still, there’s not much I can do as Kent pulls my left arm around to the other side
of the table, clicking the other half of the handcuffs around my wrist. Then, he
stands back, studying his handywork.

I pull back on the chain once, testing it, and seeing how firmly it holds. The
handcuffs bite sharply into my wrists, making me wince, so I lean forward again,
resting my elbows on the table and looking up into Kent's face. Casually, I clasp
my hands together.

I see him open his mouth to speak, but before he can his eye falls on the
engagement ring on my left hand. Quickly, he moves to unlink my hands and pull
it off my ring finger, slipping it into his

pocket.

Without thinking, I feel a retort coming to my lips.

“What, Kent,” I say, my voice soft. “Can't beat me with your wife's ring on my
hand? Something feel wrong about that?”

Even I'm shocked at the words that just came out of my mouth.

Jesus Christ, who am 1?

I see him flinch—just barely — but then he raises his eyes to mine, his face
perfectly calm. “That's enough, Fay,” he says. “I'll be

asking the questions.”

He folds his arms and I hold his gaze, not moving an inch.

“What was that note,” he asks, his words quick.

“I don’t know,” I say, matching his pace.

“Then why,” he pushes, his voice harder, “was it in your room.”

“Because Fiona gave it to me.”

He presses his hands to the table. “Then you do know what it is.”

I narrow my eye at him. “ know what it is as far as I know that it’s a piece of
paper with bad poetry written on it, sure,” I say. Again, I

surprise myself with my attitude and confidence — it by no means

matches what I feel inside. “But as for what it means, or what it's

for, I don’t know.”

“What,” he says, bringing his face closer to mine, “did she tell your

to do with it?”

I lower my voice almost to a whisper, forcing him to lean closer.

“She told me to give it to Alden.”

I see Kent's lips curl back from his teeth at that. But before he can

ask another question, I continue.

“But obviously, since it was still in my room,” I whisper, lowering my eyes to his
lips as I speak. “I didn't.”
