His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 377

Chapter 377

Aria

Fooling Vince and making him believe it was absolutely necessary for us to stop by every warehouse to stop the feud between our men made me feel bad.

It was important, but not half as important as me figuring out whatever was going on in that basement.

“He’s going to hate me for this,” I told Angelo, who wouldn’t be joining me today. According to him, that would only create more distance between Vince and me, and after seeing that hot new tutor-distance was the last thing we needed.

I didn’t intend to call Vince a terrible husband, but he left me no choice.

“Just play the game, gain his trust, make sure you end up at the factory-and get to that basement,” Angelo spoke. “Whatever is down there could be of value to the family.”

“I know,” Isaid. “That still doesn’t mean I can’t feel bad

“About what?” Angelo’s tone changed. “A man that doesn’t want you?”

At times his direct words were enough to make me drown, but until now, all Angelo said was reality.

“Angelo, did you see Luis’ new tutor?” I wondered, thinking about the woman who could give me a run for my money. She didn’t look bad at all, and unlike Serena, she was probably not married.

“I did,” Angelo said.

“Who’s hotter?”

“What is this, high school?”

“Just answer the damn question.”“

“She looks good, yes.” Angelo stepped closer, staring down at me. “But that’s all.”

“That’s all?” I asked for confirmation. Angelo chuckled, leaving a few inches between us. His finger moved to my cheek.

“There is no one who comes even close to you.” If this was his way of making me feel better, it was working. “You’re beautiful, intelligent, amazing and Vince is an idiot for missing out on that.”

Maybe I should’ve married him instead.

No, I couldn’t think that way-I was married to the man I wanted.

It was just that he was everything I had expected Vince to be.

It was no lie that Angelo was handsome, but he was also a hard worker, caring, friendly, and honest-he knew how and when to say the right things.

Was I attracted to him?

Taking a chance, I grabbed Angelo’s shoulder to pull him closer and rested my forehead against his, wondering what his next move would be.

Would it make me feel better if he kissed me instead of the other way around?
