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.

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.
