My Cousin Tried to Steal My Place as the Don's Heir Chapter 12
The music started, and Reece and I glided hand in hand onto the dance floor.Every eye in the room was on us.Reece's gaze, in particular, burned into me.We moved across the floor together.He laughed softly and said, "Princess Sorrel, you dance beautifully."I smiled back at him."Do I? My grandfather taught me."Reece was surprised."The Don taught you himself?"I spun into a graceful turn."That's right. He's the best teacher I've ever had."Reece, do you know how to shoot?"Reece paused."I've had lessons, but my aim isn't great."I laughed.As soon as the music ended, others came over hoping for the next dance.I politely turned them down and turned back to Reece."Want to step out for a bit?""Of course. It would be my honor."We talked quietly.Before we knew it, we'd wandered into an empty side room.Reece was careful not to overstep.Even when I pressed him against the wall, he held my gaze and restrained himself."Sorrel... Princess."Reece's breathing quickened."Anyone cou

My grandfather had fallen ill.He'd been shot several times when he was young.He'd pulled through every time, but his body had paid for it.The family doctor said he'd lived with nerve pain from his old gunshot wounds for years.It was only his iron will that had kept him going this long.For years, he'd lived with those old wounds. Now they'd finally brought down a mafia Don who'd called the shots his whole life."My girl, you're here."My grandfather beckoned me over.I bent down and leaned close to him.He stroked my hair."I heard what happened a while back."It looks like you haven't forgotten anything I taught you."He gave a proud little smile."Sorrel, you did very well."I rested my head on his chest and listened to his heart, still beating strong."Of course. I'm your granddaughter. How could I let you down?"My grandfather nodded, satisfied.He looked at me like he wanted to say something more.I took both of his hands."I know what you want to say."Don't worry. I'll prote

When Morwen learned Ron had given up the underboss seal for good, she threw a fit.She didn't get physical, though.She sat in their room and had her first real screaming fight with Ron."You're just going to accept this?"You built this for ten years, and now you're throwing it away?!"Ron had only one answer. "It was never mine."Morwen stopped speaking to him completely.The next day, she packed her things and went back to her parents' house.Before she left, she came to see me one last time.She stood in my doorway, her expression much grimmer than it had been when she'd first married Ron."Those ten villas. You really don't want them back?"I shook my head."What I gave you is yours."Whatever you do with them is your business."She paused, probably not expecting me to really let it go.But Morwen would have to repay the five million euros Vesper had taken.As for the ninety-million-euro bill she'd drawn up for me, I had someone make a copy and mail it to the Locke family.I didn'

That night, Ron came to see me alone.This time, Morwen didn't come with him.He didn't bring a contract or any papers.He sat across from me in silence for a long time.In the end, I spoke first. "What do you want to ask me?"Ron stared at the family seal on the table."So what was I, all those ten years?"I blinked."You were underboss."He gave a bitter laugh."The one-year-at-a-time kind?""Right.""So it wasn't just them humoring you?""No."Ron closed his eyes."But back then, the Don told me... to go through the formality with you every year."I thought about it for a while, and then I remembered."Right. He wasn't wrong."Ron looked up."What do you mean?""To me, it really was just a formality."Because for ten years, I wanted to choose you every single time."He went still.I handed him the roster Vincent had sent over.Every January second, a new letter of appointment went out to every territory."You saw me stamp your renewal papers without a second thought each year."You

I'd thought Morwen would keep her head down after learning her lesson a few times.Instead, she turned right around and invited the Kellis family over.I had just finished reviewing the casino's transactions for the past week when someone knocked on my study door."Mrs. Kellis is here with the Kellis heir to pay a visit."I sighed."Who invited them?"The maid didn't say anything.The answer was obvious.When I got to the reception hall, Morwen was smiling and having tea with Mrs. Kellis."Sorrel's here."Morwen waved me over."You were just throwing a tantrum the other day. Mrs. Kellis has wanted to meet you for ages. It would've been rude to refuse."Mrs. Kellis looked a little uncomfortable.The Kellis heir stood right up."Princess, forgive me for coming unannounced."I have to ask. Did you agree to this marriage yourself?"Morwen tensed."Marriage is a serious matter. The Princess can't be expected to negotiate it herself."I ignored her."No."The Kellis heir gave me a slight bow

Ron was quiet for a long time.After the capos had gone, he pulled me aside."Sorrel, let's talk. Just us."I didn't say no.After ten years together, I owed him the chance to say his piece.Ron closed the door and got straight to the point."I'll admit I had the Colin family's rules wrong."But replacing me without warning might not be wise."That made a lot more sense than Morwen's nonsense.I gestured for him to go on."I'm the one who brought in the arms suppliers we use now."On the big contracts we signed last year, the bosses will only talk price with me."And everyone on the shipping line, from the captains to the shipowners, has worked with me for six years."You voided my underboss seal today."But a seal can't replace those relationships."I nodded."So?"Ron looked at me."Renew my appointment this year, as you always have."I don't need the permanent contract."I'll keep Morwen in line too."Once you find someone who can replace me, I'll step aside."He said it calmly.It
