Though I wanted to run to my room and lock myself in there, I knew I couldn't. I still needed to get information about Beatrice.

I let out a deep breath, steeling my nerves, and lifted my head.

"Michael," I said.

"Yes," he replied.

"Do you think my coming here is straining Pablo and Beatrice's relationship? They've constantly been arguing since I came here. I mean, I understand why she's angry with me. I don't think I'll be all smiles and giggles if my husband brings his ex-girlfriend's daughter into my house. I might not like Beatrice, but I don't want her happy marriage to suffer because of me." I sighed, feigning sadness.

"Like their marriage was ever happy. They are strangers living in the same house. He doesn't give a sh*t about her, and neither does she." He snorted.

"They don't? That's odd. I thought you said she was possessive about him? She literally sent you to warn me to back off when she thought there was something between me and Pablo. Surely that means there's some

    "You'll keep bugging me if I say no, right?" I asked, and Michael nodded like a puppy. "If this will get you out of my hair, then fine. It better be worth it, though. If you serve me trash, I'll throw you and it in the garbage bin." I scowled. "You should be worried that you will fall in love with me because of how good my food is. I heard girls prefer men that can cook." I winked as he grabbed my hand and pulled me to the kitchen. "Even if you put a love potion in it, it won't work." I scoffed. "I might try that. I know a good voodoo doctor who can help me with a good success rate." He joked. "Black magic doesn't work on me." I rolled my eyes as we got to the kitchen, and I sat on a stool by the kitchen island. "So what would you like to eat?" He asked as he opened the large pantry. "I thought you said you were making pasta for me?" I asked as I wondered how I was going to bring up the conversation of Beatrice without seeming suspicious. "I meant, what type of pasta d

    "Is that so?" Pablo replied completely unfazed."I know it seems crazy, and I swear I'm not making this up. Early today when I was taking myself on a tour of the house, I overheard her talking with someone on the phone. She was ranting about how hard it was to live in the house with you, and she can't bear it anymore. She also said something about Logan catching Pete, and she was worried if he would squeal. I swear I'm not making this up because she's being a b*tch to me. She actually said so." I said.He was quiet for a few seconds, and I bit my lips as I wondered if I had made the right decision to tell him. Even though they weren't on the best of terms, it didn't mean he would think she was capable of killing him."I understand your concern, Gwen, but it seems you misunderstood what she said." He finally replied."No, I didn't. I know what I heard." I insisted, though my hope of him believing me had deflated."You did because I know what Beatrice is planning." He said."You d

    "Really? Really, really, really? Or are you joking? You better not be joking, or I will cry and throw tantrums like a toddler." I gasped as I tried not to sound too excited."I'm not. Lorenzo isn't as bad as I said he was. I admit, I overreacted a little bit." Pablo said."A little bit?" I teased, and he rolled his eyes."Yes, a little bit. At least I didn't kill anyone." "Because I told you not to." I replied."I could have decided not to listen, but I did. Lorenzo... Lorenzo is a good business partner and mafia boss, honestly better than his brother, who was my friend. But I don't like his promiscuous behaviour of having b*tches here and there, but unfortunately it's normal in the mafia world." He grunted."Gabi told me you're one of a kind. Different, dignified, and set apart from the others because if your good, monogamous behaviour." I grinned."I guess you can say that I’m not like other dons." He boasted as he rubbed his beard. "But at least Lorenzo isn't a playboy; he

    "Don't give me false hope, Gwen. With all that I said that night, there's no way she doesn't f*cking hate me." Pablo groaned."But she didn't. What you did hurt her, but my mom didn't hate you. She still loved you despite all that happened. I'm sure she suspected you had a reason to do what you did because she always told me you weren't with us because you didn't have a choice." I replied."She probably did that so you won't grow up thinking you had a deadbeat father." He lamented."You know, it would have been easier for her to do that, but she always spoke well about you. Why did you think I was eager to move in with you? Because I wanted to know the man my mother described as a wonderful person, and honestly, she wasn't wrong." I smiled."Thank you, Gwendolyn. You don't know how much this means to me. I spent most of my life calling myself a monster because of what I did to her." He sighed as he lifted his head."You're a good person—well, as good as a mafia don can be." I jok

    "How could she? That's awful." I said softly as I quickly ran back to his side. "You're the first person I ever told this. I was too ashamed. Who would believe that a man like me was taken advantage of by a woman? No one. I would be the laughingstock of the Vipers. F*ck, my father would beat me up and disown me for being f*cking weak, and honestly, I won't blame him. I was a f*cking fool and a weak-ass p*ssy." Pablo groaned as he gripped his hair."Don't say that about yourself. R.ape is r.ape, whether it's done to a man or woman. F*ck, Beatrice is such a f*cking disgusting piece of sh*t." I hissed as my hand itched to strangle my b*tchy stepmother, but I swallowed my anger. I needed to find out the truth. "Can you tell me what happened?" I said softly.Pablo stayed quiet, and I almost slapped myself for asking a sensitive question without thinking."You don't have to say anything—""To answer your first question, Angela and Beatrice were supposedly best friends; at least that
