Fall For My Ex’s Mafia Father - Chapter 212
Chapter 212
When Kent moves his eyes back to Daniel’s face he’s surprised by the rage he sees there. He had
expected shame, embarrassment, but this –
“You’re going to ruin her life, dad,” Daniel growls, leaning over the desk to bring his face closer to
Kent’s so that he can see. that his son means every word. “And if you do that, I’m going to ruin yours.”
Kent leans slowly across the desk, meeting Daniel’s fury with his own deliberately cool gaze. He opens
his mouth, then, intending to say “try me,” but he’s honestly surprised when another set of words leave
his lips.
“You lost her, Daniel,” Kent whispers, his eyes narrowing at his son. “And I’m not giving her back. Go
find another beard to pretend to be your wife. Fay is mine.”

Daniel stands up stock straight at these words, paling a little, and Kent suddenly realizes what he said.
The knowledge he just confessed to knowing, without…without meaning to do it –
Daniel backs away from the desk, staring at his dad, fear stark on his face. Kent merely straightens,
watching him go, not letting Daniel see that he messed up. Inside, there’s an impulse to reach out a
hand to his son to apologize, to tell him that

he’s doesn’t actually care.

But in reality, Kent knows that this was, in some ways, an act of war between him and Daniel. To be…
different, in a family like this, was in some situations a death sentence. And Kent has not intention of
punishing Daniel, or making him change, or ever letting anyone else hurt him for who he is
But in a situation like this, revealing his knowledge as he just did as a way to intimidate and get him to
back off? It was every inch a threat.
And Daniel knows it too. He backs towards the door, holding his father’s gaze, shaking his head a little
bit. Kent’s stomach turns as he watches his son twist the knob, leaving the room and closing the door
behind him without another word.
It will be fine, Kent tells himself. We’ve spent too long with that ‘secret‘ between us anyway. It’s better to
have it out in the open, at least between us.
But a deeper part of him wonders if he’s just crossed a line he can’t uncross. If he’s lost Daniel’s trust
for good, without meaning to do it. All in pursuit of Fay.
Kent raises a hand to his face, covering his eyes, repeating the words in his mind that he had thought
when he left her room. This girl will be the death of me.
He didn’t…he didn’t fuck up like this before she had come around. He had been in complete control.

But there’s no time to dwell on the thought. A knock comes immediately at the door before Kent can
indulge in the question any further, or come up with a solution on how to approach Daniel next.

“Come in,” Kent calls, dropping his hand, his voice returned to its steady timbre.
The door swings open and Marco and Gianni come in.
“Good,” Kent says with a nod, gesturing towards the two chairs across from his desk. “We have work to
do. We need more intel
– much more.”
