Semua Bab Falling For My Mafia Lord : Bab 31 - Bab 35

DanteThe clink of cutlery was the only sound filling the dining room. Nicholas was already seated, scrolling through his phone like he owned the world. Aria sat beside him, legs swinging off her chair as she spooned cereal into her mouth, her hair tied in two uneven puffs. Sophia was across from them, politely quiet, stirring tea she hadn't sipped.And me? I was nursing a black coffee.Then she walked in. Kate.Her hair was loose, a little wild like she didn't bother taming it this morning—and fuck, I knew exactly why. She was in a simple shirt and jeans, nothing dramatic, but my mind pulled up the image of that same body naked, writhing under me, breathless, begging.Goddamn."Good morning," she said, her voice smooth, untouched by guilt. She leaned over and kissed Aria's cheek, smiling.And then her eyes met mine. A flash of something—something that shouldn't be allowed at a breakfast table with others present—passed between us. My grip on the mug tightened. Her lips, slightly red.

KateI was definitely going to get in trouble for this.Scratch that—I was already in trouble. Dante had told me to drop it. His exact words? "Leave it alone, Kate." And of course, I didn't. Because when a child's birthday is just a few days away, and that child happens to be the only bright thing in a house, you don't just leave it alone.Especially not when the child is Aria. Bianca stood on a stool beside me, stringing the pastel pink and white balloons I'd ordered behind Dante's back. Her sleeves were rolled up, her face flushed with quiet excitement. Arthur had taken on the job of hanging streamers and setting up the small table with a cake stand I borrowed from the kitchen. Sophia was organizing the gift bags we'd put together earlier that morning, carefully arranging them into neat rows.And me? I was in the middle of it all—passing tape, tying ribbons, barking soft instructions like I hadn't just ignored the order of the one man who hated being disobeyed.But I didn't care.
