Chapter 56: Stop Thinking About Other Things and Focus On Me

My brows furrowed more as Mason's words sank in. None of this made sense. I couldn't understand what was happening.

"Don't fall in love with your killer," Mason said, turning my world upside down. "Try telling him that you're my real sibling, not Evangeline. I doubt he'll let you live the second he finds out." "What do you mean?" I asked, confused.

"Mafia," Mason answered in a low tone. "All our businesses are just a front. The company wasn't the real reason we're rich. It's because of the mafia. We kill, do illegal transactions, and engage in things you can barely imagine." His words sent a chill down my spine. I'd suspected they were involved in something like this, but hearing Mason admit it was a different story. My fear only grew.

"You're the next heiress, and the Coleman mafia wants you dead because of it. Ash was assigned to kill you, and I heard it loud and clear. That's why I asked Evangeline for help-she's good in a fight. Mason was trying to stay calm, but his voice was shaky.

"If you really like him, here's where he's staying for his internship."

He typed something into his phone, and a moment later, mine vibrated. It was a tracker to find Ash if I wanted to see him.

"Go to him. Tell him everything," he dared me, pushing the door open and shoving me slightly. "But remember, I warned you," he added before stepping out.

Mason must think I won't go through with it because he assumes I'm afraid of him.

But it's the opposite.

"SAPPHIRE?" Ash asked me in surprise as he opened the door to his hotel room. He was wearing only a towel around his waist, his hair still damp. "How did you know I was here?"

I swallowed slightly because of the sight, but I remembered my purpose for being here, and it wasn't to feast on the sight of his body in front of me now.
