The Mafia Bride (Katrina and Silas)

Chapter

61

As the car pulled up to the mansion, a knot tightened in my stomach,

There's still time to turn around and run, there's still time to run off.

I gave myself a little pep talk as 1 crossed the distance to the entrance.

I shouldn't be afraid; after all, I was returning to my father's house.

But each time I remembered the reason I came back, the thought of what Marcos would do to me if he found out sent chills down my spine.

I wanted to give up and just throw everything I had with Sila away, but I couldn't.

His pinning gaze sent waves and waves of fear through me but lug my fingers into my palm.

You can imagine just how terrible my childhood was for me to be this scared of my father. "You came back, Marcos said, his voice flat.
