All Chapters of One night with Dimitrio Falcon : Chapter 21 - Chapter 27

MELI join Jonah and the rest at the party, acting like I didn’t just have a steamy kiss with another man.Marcia is standing alone by the margarita fountain but there’s no sight of Dimitrio. Did he leave? “Attention, everyone. I have to make a speech to my lovely parents.” Jonah hits a teaspoon against his glass.“You don’t have to.” Mrs. Agatha says, her face lifting in a smile.I’ve always thought of her as an elegant woman. One might wonder how she gave birth to a scumbag like Jonah. But then, his father isn’t any better.“You both are my world. You gave me the world, taught me everything I need to know about life and marriage. That's why I ended up with my blessing, Melody.”I nearly choke on my margarita.Way to go, Prince Charming.“We’re here to celebrate you both, not just as my parents but the pillars of the Andrea international Group.” Jonah presses a remote in his hand, and a projector lights up, showing the stocks and leading progress of the company.Is he trying to rag

The doctors were able to stabilize her, she lost a lot of blood.”A breath of relief escapes me.“And the ba…”“The baby survived too, Mel.”I swallow hard.“Oh, thank goodness.” “You don’t look so thankful.”Trying hard to avoid his gaze, I stir the conversation in a more posi

MELMr. Sullivan takes me back to the mansion. Thank God for Dimitrio’s car that keeps the reporters away.My mind keeps circling back to the Andrea’s. They must be furious that this slipped.I’m trying so hard to push the conversation I had with my parents and Mara out of my head but I can’t. I let out a heavy sigh.“Is everything alright, miss?” Sullivan asks. “Everything is fine, Sullivan. Thank you.”I didn’t notice before because the last time I was here, everything felt rushed and this morning, I had to think of Mara’s condition.The mansion is huge.Its pathways are made with grey brimstone that shimmer like diamonds.Inside, the house is empty. I remember Dimitrio saying he only keeps Sullivan around.But… Why?I’m not sure I can count how many rooms are in this building.Moving past the elevator and into the hallway.
