Semua Bab The Mafia's Frozen Bride: Bab 111 - Bab 120

[Sinclair]After dinner with my colleagues, I had a video call with my son. He told me about his activities and reminded me of our Saturday plans. I didn't have any commitments with him, but I agreed anyway.Saturday and Sunday were my time with him. No matter what happened, I wouldn't leave without him. Therefore, I didn't make any appointments or attend any events on the weekend. My colleagues and clients knew that, even though they didn't know Dashiell was the reason.Reading a new message from Scott, I glanced at the clock at the top of my phone. I decided to stop by before continuing my journey. I asked Neil to pull over at a flower shop. Red roses were Darcy’s favorite flowers, so I bought them.I wasn’t surprised when the woman ignored me upon seeing me holding the bouquet. If her heart were easily swayed, our marriage would be boring. How she spoke and looked at me was like seeing my reflection in a mirror. Maybe that was why I felt at ease with her.“I don’t need your capital

[Darcy]I had to meet Mason on Monday. It was my only day off. If my guess about the Cullen inheritance was correct, I might have enough money to pay off my father's debt to Sinclair. I had to break away from that nightclub.I needed to meet with a lawyer I could trust to handle my divorce from Sinclair. I didn’t care if the man refused to sign the papers or withdraw the case from court. I would keep filing for divorce because I couldn’t forgive his mistake.Why should we stay together if I can’t stand to look at him or touch him? I was not God. I was only an ordinary human who couldn’t easily forgive such a great mistake.“Are you and Sinclair fighting again?” Kirsten asked, breaking my reverie.We had just finished practice. “Why do you say that?”“I know you’re living with him.” She glanced at my right hand. “You’re married.”I covered my hand with a towel. “Since we’re done practicing, may I leave?” I asked, changing the subject.Kirsten smiled meaningfully. “Of course. You need t

[Sinclair]“Do you really want to have a mother and brother? I asked, stalling for time.“Yes, Dad. You work every day and don’t play with me. If I had a mother and brother, I would have friends at home,” he answered.I looked around us. There were twenty workers in the house. They didn’t work twenty-four hours a day because they only served Dashiell, Darcy, and me. The rooms they cleaned daily were only ours; the other rooms were not.The servants liked to accompany my son while he played. They would be in the playroom, garden, or viewing room. Dashiell was never alone. Yet he felt he had no friends at home. I understood. The presence of servants was not the same as the role of a mother and a sibling.“You have a big responsibility if you have a younger brother, Dad,” I said.“What is responsibility, Dad?” he asked.“Responsibility is a task you must do. If you have a younger brother, you have some older brother’s responsibilities. Do you want to love your younger brother?”“Yes! I c

[Darcy]Scott overreacted last night. After experiencing a shooting and a helicopter crash, I wasn't afraid of a similar situation. If I showed fear, Sinclair's enemies would make me their punching bag.I locked my door before going to bed. Sinclair was stubborn at Savannah's wedding reception. I didn't care if people called me a liar. He shouldn’t have come and announced our marriage by sitting beside me or dancing with me.That declaration wouldn’t change my mind. I wanted us to divorce. Therefore, Sinclair had to train himself to sleep in his bedroom and stop coming to my bed. Unfortunately, he managed to get into the room. I didn’t know how he could open the lock from the outside when there was a key stuck inside.“Which one of you opened my bedroom door last night?” I asked Scott and Rocco.The two men exchanged glances. “We’re not boss’s assistants or bodyguards,” Scott replied. “He might have asked Neil for help.”“Damn it,” I muttered.“After the boss kept entering your apartm

[Sinclair]The car pulled into the west side of the house. I got out before it came to a complete stop. Lionel opened the door. He didn't say anything, only glanced toward the hallway where Darcy's room was.I hurried toward the bedroom. Darcy hadn't locked the door like she had the night before. I entered and heard the sound of running water. I walked into the bathroom and saw the woman standing under the shower. I took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.I took a bathrobe from the rack and opened the shower door. I turned off the water before covering the woman's body with it. Darcy complied as I led her to the bedroom.After she sat on the edge of the bed, I used a towel to dry her hair. Darcy remained silent, saying nothing. I took the hair dryer from the bathroom and helped dry her hair.I took her to the walk-in closet. Darcy chose her clothes and dressed herself. I took her robe and placed it in the laundry basket in the bathroom. The woman had put on her nightgown when I left the
