Fall For My Ex's Mafia Dad

Chapter 0147

“That’s so weird,” Daniel whispers, all in a rush, and then collapses back onto the bed.

| smile at Daniel, laughing a little, but then my laughter fades as | look carefully at the dress in my hands and wonder...well, wonder if | maybe got too used to this. Maybe | haven't thought enough about how weird this actually might be.

As | study the dress | consider that Kent controls pretty much every aspect of my life now. He decides what | wear, what | do all day, where | go, where my money comes from, where my sister and my father live. And while I've accepted a lot of that as part of living under a mafia boss's roof and enjoying the luxury of my situation...is this really what | want for my life?

I sigh, tossing the dress onto the bed, looking at it. It’s a delicate, pretty thing - where was Kent imagining me going in that dress?

Did | want to go there? I shake my head.

“Okay, Daniel,” | say, clapping my hands and making him groan at the noise. | laugh and move to the side of the bed, shaking his shoulders and making him wake up. “Go away! You've outstayed your welcome! Leave me alone so | can get changed!”

“No!” He shouts into the pillows, laughing too. “I want to sleep! Leave me be! You just get changed — | won't look.” “Get up!” | shout, laughing and grabbing a pillow, which | start hitting him with. “I'll see you in twenty minutes at breakfast, lazy.”Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Daniel grumbles his assent and climbs out of bed, stretching and yawning. | see him eye the white box as he heads for the door, and then he brings his eyes to mine, curious. | just shake my head. “You don’t want to know, Daniel.”

“You're right,” he murmurs with a sigh. Then, he blows me a little kiss, heading next door to his own room to get ready. He pulls my bedroom door shut behind him.

As soon as he closes it, | move to my wardrobe, my mind made up.

Even though | just said that I'd meet Daniel at breakfast, | actually have no intention of doing that. | pull some of my riding clothes out of the back of my wardrobe, as well as my shiny black boots. Then, | hastily get ready for my day, eager to get to breakfast before anyone else does.

Or, more accurately, past breakfast, and to the garage.

Because today, | have no real desire to hear what Kent has planned for me in that blue and white dress. Today, | want to do precisely what it is that | want to do. And today, | want to see my horse.

Forty minutes later, after successfully evading everyone but Jerome, who | made give me keys to the car, | pull up to the stables just as the sun is coming up. | park the Lexus in the spot closest to the barn doors — the one usually left open for Kent. But today, | decide, it’s for me.

| give some of the workers a happy smile as | rush down the aisle to Heathcliff’s stall, pulling open the latch to the door as | beam at my pretty boy.

“Hey, handsome,” | murmur to Heathcliff, who gives me a happy little whinny and huffs atsryboe) ering fora sion ob ige him, pulling a sugar cube from my pocket that | snatched from the espresso bar when | snuck into the kitchen for just one sip of coffee before | ran for the garage.

“Did you miss me?” | softly ask my horse, scratching his forehead

And then | take the little box of grooming tools off the shelf at the top of the stall and ehtawouO""! shing heathbi’s coat until it shines and braiding his mane. | take my time with it, relishing the feeling of having all day to do this, to do precisely as | please. Please read the

But also, a little thrilled at the anticipation that...Kent isn’t going to like this. That I’ve defied him, again. Avoided him, again. And that | have every expectation of seeing him later, all pissed off at me. Worked up into a fury.

Just how | like him.
