Forbidden Temptation My Mafia Fiance's Alpha Father

Chapter 96 Brooklyn

I jump backwards as the figure hurries past me and then down the stairs.

He's got a hoodie pulled up over his head, so I can't see who it is, but he's certainly young, and with the height and broad shoulders of a guy.

Suddenly, I hear the noise of Hudson's door snicking shut down the hall and my mouth drops open as I put the pieces together.

Hudson had a guy in his room last night!

I giggle to myself, pressing my hand over my mouth to contain the noise.

He'd told me he was interested in someone, but I hadn't realized he was sleeping with them.

How long had this been going on?

I take a few steps into the hall, peering down the steps, but whoever it is has disappeared.

I shake my head, then, starting down the stairs myself as I consider that this is certainly not a mark in the be-loyal-to-Hudson category.

Clearly, he's not being loyal to me-not even really pretending to be.

Oh well. A problem for another time, I think, walking down the hall and pressing the door open to the kitchen.

It's very early, but there are still a few people here, getting their day started.
