Lahat ng Kabanata ng In Love With His Coldhearted Mafia Brother: Kabanata 51 - Kabanata 60

The plane touched down in New York just before noon, and the moment we landed I massaged stress on my shoulders like a concrete blanket. The private terminal was quiet when we got to the same black car waiting, Dante quickly got into his own car and drove away. Vanessa gave me a look I couldn't read and followed him in another car. I stood there on the tarmac for a moment, my suitcase in hand, watching the two cars disappear through the gate. Then I climbed into the back of the other car, gave the driver the hospital address, and leaned my head against the window as the city blurred past the windows.I couldn't wait another second to see her.When I arrived, the nurses at the front desk smiled when they saw me. “You're back. How was the trip?”“Like every other, stressful.” I pulled out a bag of snacks and souvenirs I got for them and placed it on the counter. “Here.”Both of them on duty broke into a wide smile. “Thank you Ms Bishop.” The first one grabbed it.I nodded. “Where's she

I woke up the next morning to sunlight streaming through the blinds and the sound of Mira's phone buzzing somewhere on the floor. She was already dressed, sitting on the edge of the couch with her shoes on, scrolling through something on her screen. Chloe was still passed out on the other end, her mouth open, one arm hanging off the cushion like she was mid-sentence when sleep took her."You're up early," I said, my voice still thick from sleep.She looked at me and smiled, but it didn't reach her eyes. "Couldn't sleep. I'm going to head out.""Now? It's barely seven.""Yeah, I've got things to do." She stood up and grabbed her bag. "I'll see you guys later."She was out the door before I could ask what things. I sat up and stretched, my neck stiff from sleeping on the couch, and looked at Chloe's peaceful face. She wouldn't be up for hours.Maybe days.I grabbed my clothes from my room, showered quickly, and got dressed.I quickly made a sandwich and took some of the snacks I bought

I stared at my phone after the call ended, the lawyer's words ringing in my ears. Jace was actually going to do this? I stared at the phone, my thumb hovering above his number. If I call now what do I say? He's obviously only going to mock my desperate ass, but what do I say?Stop? I'll give you what you want? How much do you want? Why are you doing this?Maybe I really should be desperate, ruin this before he goes far.Ahh!!This is driving me crazy, all of this is driving me crazy!I sprang up and grabbed my mug and headed for the kitchen. If I sat down for one more minutes I'm going to lose my mind.The kitchen was half empty when I got there, just a few people grabbing snacks and washing mugs. I was about to rush to the coffee machine not being used, I gave way for a lady holding a hot mig but befote I could take a step further, I still bumped into her.Her coffee splashed everywhere, and unto my hand. The hot thick liquid soaked through my sleeve and onto my fingers before I co

EVA"Go," I said. "Both of you. Just go."Chloe stepped toward me with her hand out, her face crumpled like she was about to throw up. "Eva, don't say that—""Go!" I yelled, and for a second the urge to just keep yelling filled my head. The relief it brought. "Just leave me alone."Mira grabbed Chloe's arm and pulled her back. “Come on.”“No, let me go.” She yanked her arm off Mira's hand. “We can't leave her here.”“I don't visit the gym Chloe, you also don't. So there's no way to take her with us. Sitting here and crying will change nothing.”Chloe sniffled, about to say something but Mira shook her head and dragged her away. They turned and left, their figures stumbling through the sand and soon disappeared through the trees. I fell back to the sand and dragged my knees to my chest.“Stupid.”I sniffled and wiped the tears soaking my sleeves, scoffing at myself and the pathetic sound of my own breathing.I looked up at the cloudy sky and took a long gulp from the bottle. The sky w

I slowly walked to the bed and sat, if I moved any faster those shorts would fall off.He stood in front me and began drying my hair, the towel rubbing against my scalp in slow circles that almost felt like a massage. I cleared my throat and stared at the floor."I'm sorry," I said. "For what I said, earlier . At the beach."He didn't stop moving the towel. "What happened?"I hesitated. The towel moving in faster but gentle rhythm, blotting the ends of my hair."Jace is suing me for custody," I said. "Over Lily. I got a call this morning from his lawyer about it."His hands paused for a second then continued."And..." he prompted.I swallowed. "And my friend's house burned down a month ago. Neither of them told me about it, I had to find out on my own, on my way to work."He stopped and lifted my chin with his fingers, turning my face up toward his. His grey eyes staring right into mine, it's almost scary."Don't you see the similarity?" he asked.I frowned. "What?"“Running off and s
