Semua Bab Daughter of the Mafia: Bab 51 - Bab 60

*Rosie Fay-Donovan*As I struggled to get out of Royce’s grip, I tried to gather all the strength I had to make it harder for him to touch me while I kicked and screamed. I wasn’t sure what he was planning on doing, but I had a good idea of what it could be, and I wasn’t going to let him have his way without a fight.Royce seemed to be having a hard time keeping me still while he fumbled to keep me pinned to the floor. He tightened his legs around my waist, his hand still holding mine above my head. I saw his other hand move to the hem of his pants, and that’s when I officially freaked out. The scream that left my throat was horrifying, but the idea of being touched by him made me want to be dead instead. If he could only make it quicker. It didn’t seem like anyone was coming to my rescue. Archie was probably thinking I had made it to the hideout.Tears blurred my sight, but I gritted my teeth, not wanting to surrender and give him the satisfaction of knowing he won. I forced my mind

*Rosie Fay-Donovan*Archie drove us both to one of our hotels after all the men headed home and the police were finally gone. I was too exhausted to think about the next steps and everything we had to handle the following day. I knew he’d have to organize the funeral and everything, and I felt sorry for Archie to have to deal with all of this by himself. If I was suffering, I could only imagine how he must’ve been feeling. I wasn't ready to go back to that house, no matter how hard I thought about it. I wouldn’t sell it—not yet—but for now, we’d have to find another place to live.“What do you think about living in Manhattan for a while?” I asked Archie as we stepped inside the presidential suite of the hotel where we’d be spending the night.“What do you mean?” he asked with a frown. I knew he was distracted, probably thinking about everything that had happened, but I wanted to help him take his mind off things for a bit.“I was thinking we could move into one of Dad’s old penthous

*Rosie Fay-Donovan*Archie was right when he said his men would be thrilled to get a paid vacation from their boss. He made sure that a well-planned schedule was put into place so everyone could take some days off while things were still being taken care of back home.As soon as everything was settled in the penthouse and Tyler made sure it was okay for us to leave the country for the time being, Archie and I jumped on a plane as quickly as possible, eager to leave all the madness behind us for a bit.Liam and Logan eventually learned about the ambush, and Archie struggled to ease their minds, telling them we were all well and safe. I felt bad for Logan who looked really preoccupied and also guilty, but I didn’t say anything.Despite everything, I was really eager to see the Northern Lights. I had never been to Finland before, so I was particularly looking forward to this trip. Also, the fact that this was supposed to be our honeymoon put me on edge, unsure of what to expect.Sure, it

*Rosie Fay-Donovan*The days that followed were like something out of someone else’s life. Archie and I had never had that much time to ourselves without people interrupting us or his phone buzzing insistently as someone tried to reach him.We made a deal that we were only going to check on things when it was time to return home, and even though I could see it was hard for him to do just that, he kept his promise for five days until it was time to pack our things and go back to reality.I wasn’t sad to leave because I kind of missed things back home, but it felt a bit bittersweet not knowing when we’d have time to enjoy a moment like this again.“Can we try to take a vacation at least once a year?” I asked as we packed our things. I grabbed one of my coats from the hanger and carefully folded it to fit into my suitcase. “I mean, it’d be nice to have some time off like this every once in a while, don’t you think? We can give the guys paid vacation too.”Archie didn’t look at me as he c

*Archie Donovan*As I waited for Mrs. Byrne to arrive, I stared at the paper card Sami had given me as if it was a lotto ticket, my mind wandering to places I hadn’t allowed myself the luxury to go to before. But after Rosie mentioned the idea of building a family and having children, it felt like a new Archie was born inside me. Of course, the idea had crossed my mind before, but I never indulged it for too long, leading the life I had, it wasn’t something I could dream about.I had avoided Rosie for so long during our marriage, that to think about having babies was too far from my reality. But now, it suddenly felt like I had a new purpose in life. Every plan I had and every single dynamic within my companies and the gang were met with a different determination and approach. With the FBI in the picture, I tried to put together a good proposition to offer to the executive assistant coming to meet me today.The deal I made with them before Royce was arrested was superficial and bre
