The Mafia Boss And His Contract Wife (Book 3)
One by one, all the books on the shelf slid off the racks and fell over us, our hands, chest, and head.
“Step back!” I growled at Mariella.
She didn’t. She pursed her lips instead and pressed her brows. Standing on her spot, she bore through the torture until all the books were on the floor, disarrayed in a pile. I heaved a sigh as our eyes met. Fear floated in hers and she tore her gaze to the pile.
“Let me adjust the shelf,” I said to her. “Don’t move or it’ll fall on us.”
She nodded. Making sure her hands were sturdy, I grabbed the end of the shelf and angled it back on the wall so that it wouldn’t fall over or slip back. I huffed, shaking my hands and cracking my knuckles.
