The Mafia Bride (Katrina and Silas)

Chapter 86

Katrina's POV

The betrayal hit me like a punch to the gut and Silas's words echoed in my mind over and over again.

All these while and I thought I actually meant something to Silas, but it seemed tjay was far from the case

His words replayed on and on im my head and I could barely believe it.

"Katrina is the key. If this goes south, we'll use her as leverage."

Leverage? Me? I was his wife, wasn't I? Or maybe I'd been lying to myself this whole time, thinking I mattered to him.

I mean, it was right in front of me.

Pressing my back against the cold wall, I tried to stop my hands from shaking.

I wanted to believe he didn't mean it. That he wouldn't throw me to my father like I was nothing. But deep down, I knew better. Silas always did what was best for the mafia-no matter who got hurt. And he never said he cared about me, we never had that talk.

Iwas just the one who had actually assumed shit just because we we're touching each other now.

But could you blame me?

Looking back at where Silas and his men stood, I realized one thing.

I had to get out of here before it

too late.

My breathing was labored as I stepped back, trying to make myself as invisible as

possible.

I couldn't let them see me. If Silas found out I'd overheard their plans, I didn't know what he would do. And let's not talk about this men.

The random realization that I hadn't seen Phillip in a while and I made a mental note to ask Silas about it later. For now I had to leave here alive. The floor creaked under my foot, loud enough to make my heart stop.

Well, fuck.

"Did

you

hear that?" one of the men asked, turning to where I stood. Luckily for me, there was a wall I front of me and it made it hard for them to see me.

I froze in place, not daring to make a single move. My breath caught in my throat as I saw Silas turn his head toward the sound as well, staring straight at me. -God please. I'd do whatever you ask of me if you let me escape from this.

I pleaded, folding my fingers. I had listened to something I wasn't supposed to, now I wasn't certain if Sila would let me go if
