Semua Bab Divorced But Desired by the Mafia King: Bab 91 - Bab 100

[Hunter]There is nothing in the world as soothing as the sound of her sleeping, the feeling of her warm body lying next to mine, the touch of her gentle breath on my neck as she curls into my chest. “This is dangerous,” I trace the edges of her curls as I memorize the contours of her face with my fingertips. “If he figures out the truth, he’ll take you from me too.”Closing my eyes, I let my body relax, and make my best attempt to fall asleep. But as soon as my heavy lids droop, flashes of my sister’s dead body flood my vision, fresh and red with blood, as if I were seeing it rather than remembering it, causing it to jump. Addy's body startles in response, her face twisting in pain as she murmurs something in her sleep. I soothe her shaking frame and she settles into me. She’s still asleep, but her dreams must be just as dark and heavy as mine. “What happened to you, Addy, to make you so afraid?” I wonder aloud, remembering her reaction to the yellow roses the other day, and how she

[Addison]Pointing at the line on the document, I look up at Mr. Craig. "Can you tell me more about this?"How is it that Hunter could possibly be interviewed at the time of my family's death? I'm shocked and also confused. This happened over 20 years ago, Hunter couldn't have been more than 10. Which means, the Mr. Grant they are talking about would have been his father, George. But why would the Grants be anywhere near the scene of my family's death. We had been on our way back home from out of state. Why were they there too? Sweeping the paper back towards him, he squints and then his eyes open wide. "Ah, I can see. Well I might not have all the answers for you, but something tells me that your employer might be able to shed a bit of light. You could always approach him?"But how do I ask Hunter about this without raising his suspicions or worse, showing him my lack of trust. Before the events of last night, I was beginning to really trust him, to see Hunter as my protector. But

Charley doesn't move from her spot, and her hands are shaking when I hand her a cup of coffee, but she manages to keep her voice steady as very slowly, she tells me about her troubled past. As the words tumble from her mouth a picture is painted of a sad and tragic childhood, without love and support. "My family was a mess," she confesses, smiling to soften her statement. "My father was in and out of jail, and my mother had to do a lot of desperate things to keep me and my brothers fed. Drug deals, prostitution, it ain't easy for a poor black woman in NYC."She grins, and I do my best to keep my expression neutral. Even though I've had my own tragedies, there is no way for me to truly relate to her experience. I'll never know what it is to be in her shoes. All I can do is listen compassionately as she shares what must have been some of the darkest moments of her life.“When I was 11 I dropped out of school. I was in 6th grade, and because of my mom’s…activities, it became hard for me

[Michael] Evelyn asked me a question, a strange one, that chilled me to my core. “Is your son still the beneficiary of your ex-wife’s will?” “Yes,” I remarked casually as I gobbled down a fried egg. “Why do you ask?” “No reason,” she smiled sweetly. “I just wanted to consider his future. Do you remember if she had Life Insurance?” When I explained to her that we both have over a million dollars in coverage, that we did this to make sure that Jayson would be cared for if anything wer

[Addison]The room is dark except for a small light hanging above us, dim enough so that it doesn't show through any cracks along the secret panel, it is hardly bright enough for me to make out Livy's face at first. After several minutes, my eyes adjust, and I smile once her sweet face becomes visible, her arms tightly clenched around her book. "Auntie, are we going to be okay," she whispers and my heart clenches. "Of course, sweet girl," I kneel to her level, pulling her into my arms for a hug. She melts into me and I realize there is nothing in this world scary enough to make me leave her. I'd fight Heaven and Hell to keep her safe.  "We just need to stay brave.""Like when that mean boy tried to hurt me," Livy's talking about the day that Jayson handc
