Forbidden Temptation My Mafia Fiance's Alpha Father

Chapter 104

Chapter 104 Aden

Without hesitating, I pull a pen from a cup on my desk and slide it across the desk to Brooklyn.

Hudson tries to grab it, but she swats his hand away, snagging the pen and hastily signing her name to the bottom of the fourth page.

"Brooklyn," Hudson exclaims, putting his head in his hands. "What did you just do—"

"It's everything I've ever wanted, Hudson," she says matter of factly. "A way to help my family, to stand on my own two feet. And you and I-we can still be..." she hesitates.

She shakes her head, not able to get the words out.

But when she turns to me, her expression is grateful.

"Thank you, Aden," she says, her words sounding genuine. "I'll do everything I can."

Hudson pushes his chair back hard as he gets to his feet, storming towards the door.

"I'll never forgive you for this, Dad," he says, staring at me hard as he yanks the door open. "She was the

only one I had on my side, and you took her from me."
