MY Possessive Mafia Men

Chapter 138: Let's Revisit The Contract Chapter 138: Let's Revisit The Contract Angelia

James and Kent had been friends for a couple of years, they used to be right until James found out how he acted with women, all because of me and maybe others as well. A creep didn't become one overnight, sure he had apologized and it might have been sincere but I wasn't desperate enough to have him as a friend to take that chance. "What are you doing here?"

My grocery bag was momentarily forgotten as I stood in wondering what Kent had wanted with me. His expression had definitely been sad and there had been an almost desperation in his voice when he asked me to give him a minute of time. It could be possible that I had wrongly judged him and if that was the case, I was a complete *** for screwing up his friendship with James. But of course, I didn't have the luxury to not be wary of from feeling bad about it, though.

Deciding to let the meeting go from my thoughts, I put on some feel-good indie music on my phone and started making dinner. I soon found out it wasn't the same at all cooking alone as it
