Daughter of the Mafia のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

*Rosie Fay-Donovan*I woke up with a terrible migraine the next day, even though I had slept almost past noon. I couldn’t remember a time when I had slept for that long, but in my defense, I had been exhausted from the preparations for the party. And the amount of champagne I drank last night also helped me pass out completely.The image of me and Archie making out in my room before I went to bed flashed in my mind and I allowed myself to relive it, even if for a moment. I felt my cheeks burning as I remembered the feeling of him kissing and touching me like that.It had been an entirely different level from what we did on the night of the annual gala. I let myself wonder if I hadn’t said anything, if Archie would have gone all the way through and had sex with me. I guessed I’d never have the answer to that. Not this morning at least.I groaned and turned on my bed, trying to decide if I should just stay there the entire day. We had the day off in the office, and I didn’t have anythi

*Archie Donovan*On Wednesday night, I gathered the men in my office for our last meeting before my trip to Greece. It irked me to leave things behind and somehow out of my control, but I had come to an agreement with myself that I couldn’t handle everything and still live a normal human life.I had to rely on others, and I had the best f*cking team watching my back, so that was somewhat comforting. That’s why I wanted all of them here tonight, so I could lay down the rules for when I wasn’t around.I wasn’t normally out, and when I was, I wouldn’t go that far. I was always a few hours away, so I could be back in the blink of an eye if needed. This was the first time I’d be traveling this far, and even though it’d be less than a week, I still worried.“I want a full report every day, at least twice,” I demanded, already feeling the anxiety camping in my stomach for the next few days. The only thing keeping me sane was that I knew Rosie would be there with me the entire time, so I woul

*Rosie Fay-Donovan*Greece was definitely a paradise. Just looking out the window on the drive to get to the boat astonished me with the incredible view. The weather was just perfect—warm and breezy, a huge contrast to the chilly air in New York at this time of the year.As we got to the boat, I could already spot the private island from a distance, and even I had to admit I was impressed with its beauty and size.The resort was visible from this far, all its lights lit under the moonlight. I could tell the suites had balconies and windows made entirely of glass which allowed the guests to have a full view of the beach outside.I had been to luxury places with my father before, but this was another level. Logan had really outdone himself this time.Archie helped me out of the boat once we docked, and we were both greeted by some of the staff. But before they could guide us inside, Logan showed up, yelling our names, his arms wide to welcome us.“Son! Rosie, my darling. I’m so glad you

*Rosie Fay-Donovan*“What do you mean?” I asked with a frown. Why was everyone implying that Archie acted differently when it came to me? Was I the only one blind enough not to see it?Liam seemed to be having fun with my confusion, laughing and dragging from his cigarette. “Are you going to tell me or continue laughing at me?” I complained annoyingly.Liam turned to look at the sea, absorbed by its beauty just like I had a few minutes before.“I know my brother hasn’t been the best husband to you,” he started, and I had to hold my jaw in place so it didn’t fall.“Did he tell you that?”“Yes, and no. He told me some things and I assumed others. I know Archie, and I know the type of man he thinks he must be,” he explained, but for some reason, I wasn’t following.“You're going to have to be clearer than that,” I retorted.“He was tossed into this life and raised to be the leader of a legacy that runs for generations. A family that isn’t even his, to begin with,” Liam continued. “Can

*Rosie Fay-Donovan*The rays of sunshine warmly greeted my face the next morning. I stretched and slowly opened my eyes to see the beautiful view outside of my balcony. It took me a moment to appreciate the sight and be grateful for being able to experience such a nice place.I couldn’t wait to start my day and get to know the island. I assumed the resort was pretty much all I had to see, but that alone was already a huge thing that would probably take me more than a day to visit every spot.As I turned on my back, I spotted Archie sleeping by my side, so peacefully and quietly that I had even forgotten he was there in the first place. His face was so ethereal in the morning—no hint of the serious, intimidating expression he normally wore while he was awake.He looked like a boy, someone who had no worries in the world, and, for a moment, I wished he could be that person one day. But leading the lives we had, I doubted that would ever be a possibility for us. Even if we did manage to
