Fall For My Ex’s Mafia Father
Chapter 206
Slowly, the guard shakes his head. I turn my attention back to Ivan, but his eyes are on the
guard.

“Can you give us a minute?” Ivan says to Kent’s man, using a tone that reminds me that Ivan,
too, is the head of a criminal organization. The guard hesitates but Ivan twists his head a little,
his mouth tightening, letting the guard know that it wasn’t really a question. Sighing, the guard
goes back inside, closing the door behind him.
Chapter 206
“Can I tell you something Fay? Before you go?” Ivan asks quietly, his voice more serious than
I’m used to, and definitely too serious for dawn. “Just between us?”
I cock my head to the side, some instinct in me prodding me to pay attention, so I sit up and
look him in the face. This is…different, than the carefree Ivan I know, who always acts like he
can handle anything. Instead, now, there’s real worry in his eyes.
“Okay,” I breathe. “Sure.”
“You need to be careful, Fay,”
Chapter 206
Ivan urges, his voice tentative. “I wanted to tell you this last night – but we got distracted. And
now time is short, so I’m sorry that this is abrupt, but…things are changing in the criminal
sphere. Something big is coming – I don’t want you to get caught up in it. But you’re very close
to some of the big players in this war. I’m worried that you could get swept away in it.”
I feel myself go pale as I listen to him, fascinated. I knew that there was…discord between the
families, but I never thought…

“Are you one of these players, Ivan?” I hear myself ask, my voice steadier than I thought it would be as
my mind races to think of Kent

“I am,” Ivan says quietly, nodding slowly and raising a hand to cup my cheek. “I can protect you, if
you…if you’ll let me.”
Slowly, I reach out and take his other hand, needing to know more. “Are you suggesting that… maybe
Kent can’t?”
“Fay,” Ivan whispers, leaning
Chapter zuu
closer to me. “I can’t – I don’t
want to say anything that will make it worse, or get you into hot water at home. But…” he looks at me
seriously, his eyes locked on mine. And then he swallows, like he’s made a hard decision, and speaks
all in a rush.
“Kent’s going down, Fay,” Ivan insists, moving his hand from my cheek to behind my neck, wrapping
his fingers softly in the hair at the nape. “He’s on the wrong side of – of everything. You have to get out
of that house while you can. If you come with me, I can protect you.”

I move away from Ivan suddenly, shocked – scared – glancing over my shoulder towards the door, my
heart starting to race.
“No,” Ivan says, urgent, his hand slipping from my neck to my shoulder, pulling me back.
“Not right now
there’s time
everything’s fine, I didn’t take you out of there last night to like, make a move while you were gone.”
Ivan shakes his head and I watch him
closely.
“Just think about it,” he concludes softly, his eye wide. And deep down, everything in me tells me

that…this is not a play for power. Or if it is, that beneath that play is a real concern for me. A desire to
keep me safe.
“Thank you, Ivan,” I say, biting my lip. “I will think about it.”
And then I lean forward, pressing a kiss to his mouth, letting myself linger for just a moment
with my eyes closed, wondering if this….
But then I pull away and stand up. He watches my every move.
“I have to go,” I whisper, holding

his gaze for – well, maybe for too long.
And then I turn, and leave,
nodding to the guards in the house to let them know I’m ready. And as I walk out the door, I
know Ivan is behind me, watching my every step.
