Semua Bab In Bed With Daddy’s Best Friend : Bab 391 - Bab 400

“I could have just run away and lived my life, I suppose,” I say. “But I suppose I have some of your genetics too. I couldn’t just let it go, in the same way you can’t let it go.”“So what is it you hope to achieve from coming back here?” he asks. “Have you changed your mind about the statement? Have you realized that you actually miss the life I’ve given you?”“Oh no, nothing like that,” I answer casually. “I want you to tell me the truth. Before I leave and never see you again, I want to hear you tell me what you did. And say it to my face.”“Why?” he snaps.“Let’s just pretend I’m trying to learn a skill. What if one day I too want to send someone off to die in prison? I need to learn from the best.”“Don’t be ridiculous,” he laughs. “You don’t have it in you.”The irony in his statement almost makes me burst out with laughter. Clearly, he has no idea what I am really doing back in his office.“Then tell me because I want you to admit to me what a terrible man you are,” I say, losi

“That sounds great,” he says. “And I wouldn’t mind a pizza.”“On it,” Mattia laughs.I am freshly showered and have a belly full of pizza when we finally sit down at the table to discuss what has happened. I can’t help but notice the absence of Aria and it makes me increasingly nervous. When they play the recordings of her conversation with her father, I fully understand the risk that she has taken for me.“We have him confessing to everything,” Dalton says with a smile.“I can’t believe she did this for me,” I say. “This was a risky plan. I do wish you would have told me about it.”As the recording continues, I find I have a bitter taste in my mouth. Gabriele talks to his daughter with so much hatred. I can’t imagine any parent being that way, and yet he is.“Where is Aria now?” I ask. “Can I speak with her?”They press play and let the recording finish. I listen as Gabriele has his daughter dragged away and locked in a room. I listen as the guard tells her to look for my face on the

AriaI’ve been fast asleep for hours, the deepest sleep I’ve had in days. The sound of the door to my room opening wakes me and I suddenly become aware that I’ve hardly moved in my sleep. The side of my body fitted to the mattress aches as my eyes flutter open.First, a few guards enter and I am certain that my father will follow. The guards wait on either side of the door for him to make his entrance. I am faced with the brutal reality that I am, once again, my father’s prisoner. I sit up, and for the first time since yesterday the adrenaline in my body has faded. I have no idea if Mattia and Dalton received the recording of his confession, and my father has no idea that it even exists, if it exists at all.My father walks into the room and he looks even angrier than yesterday. He says nothing for a while as he inspects some of the items in the room. I know this tactic well. He taught it to me. The best way to intimidate someone is to take your time with everything. I know his tricks

“You’ll never get my statement,” I interrupt.“You ran out of here like a child lost in the wilderness,” he laughs. “And then you came back here to fight with me. You had your chance to win your freedom and you wasted it. So, now you will stay here forever.”My father tucks his hands into his pockets. He is oddly casual about keeping his own daughter as a prisoner. And I know that if it hadn’t been for the device taped to my chest last night, he would likely get away with it. For years my father’s influence in the government and police force has made him nearly indestructible.Nearly.“This is no life for me here,” I say. “I have nobody and nothing to do. If I am going to stay here forever, it can’t be like this.”“Don’t be ridiculous,” he says. “You have everything you need here. You have safety, food, a television for some entertainment. What else would you be doing with your day otherwise? You have no experience with practical matters and you’re the daughter of a Don, it’s not as i

“When exactly would you like it done?”“I’ve instructed Jay to let you know when we descend on the property. At that time, I want you to send it. That way, by the time we have Aria and we are out of there, the police are already arriving at his doorstep. I want to stop him in his tracks.”“I’ve gone through the recordings again,” Dalton said. “And I’ve prepared the transcriptions too. Gabriele has not only confessed to lying and bribery of a judge.”“There’s more you think you can get him on?” I ask.“Yes, that girl of yours is very clever. Technically, he’s confessed to holding her captive too.”“The charges just keep piling up,” I say wryly. “Remind me to buy her something really special when all this is over.”“We’ll tip the kidnapping charge from you onto him,” Dalton laughs. “It’s going to be brilliant and the media is going to have a field day with this. I look forward to it, boss.”“I’m glad you do,” I say. “But we’re going to have to cross all of those bridges when we get ther
