Forbidden Temptation My Mafia Fiance's Alpha Father

Chapter 42

Chapter 42 Brooklyn

For all the drama the day I chose my wedding dress-Aden's reaction to me in it, the wine and secrets I shared with Jayde, the porn room, the violence I witnessed-the next several days are unremarkable. As I fall into the routines of the Kenwood house, I'm surprised to find that I'm quickly bored by them.

A little of me, I think, expected everyday mafia life to be more exciting.

Aden's top guys-mostly older gentlemen-drink their tiny glasses of espresso at a table in the corner, bantering. Lower-level guys, dressed in thousand-dollar sweatsuits, run briskly through, reporting and getting new orders.

Guards are everywhere, watching everything, but mostly wishing that they were important enough to be included with the others.

As the day passes, everyone spreads out to do their work.
