Falling for my enemy’s daughter is a big fucking mistake.

––––––––

We should have dinnerwith your father this weekend. Set it up.

Asshole.

I might not be the head of the Mancini mafia, like my father or my brother, but I grew up surrounded by some of the most powerful and influential mobsters on the planet.

And while I might not want to be a part of the mafia business, I’m not stupid.

The thoughts nagging me for the past few days since having lunch with my father start to get loud. He wants something more from me than just sex, I’m sure of it. Me or my family?

After demanding to see my father, I’m sure it has something to do with my family.

I’m hurt and angry with myself for thinking our relationship is more than it is. A contract. But I’m determined to find out what his secret is. Starting with what’s inside his locked-up office.

Like I say, I’m not stupid.

Mobsters are a lot of things, including thieves, so I know a lot of ways to get inside places.

While Connor thought I was scrolling on my phone, I was videoing him. A trick I learned while listening to two of my bodyguards several years ago.

I’m not sure if it worked, or if I got the angle right, but when I press play on the video and pinch the screen to zoom in, I know it’s right.

“Yes!” I whisper, despite no one being here.

George is downstairs, waiting for me. He doesn’t know I’m not going into the office. Well, I am, but I’ll go in a little later.

I lied to Connor. But then again, I think he’s lying to me, and I’m not going to sit around any longer and let it continue. There might be nothing but boring office stuff, but I find it weird he has it so locked up when he lived by himself.
