MY Possessive Mafia Men

What about you."

"Sorry, it has been a long day." | dragged my hand through my hair, already tired of this conversation.

"No problem, | admire a hard-working man and you are the most hard-working man | have ever met." She winked

as she lay on the bullshit too thickly.

| was hardly the most hard-working man she had met, both of my friends worked way harder than me.

"You do look a bit tense." She muttered.

"You know, | will give you a fantastic massage if you ever need one." She added.

"lI am perfectly fine, Adanna. If | were to get a massage, | would hire a professional one." | said firmly.

"Hmm, | would think your submissive would take better care of you unless...maybe it was too much for her?

Can't she handle you guys?*

What she implied hung in the air, that she could do a better job made my chest swell with protectiveness over

Angelia.

"You are stepping way out of the line here, Adanna." My voice rose with the anger | felt.

"She takes better care of us than anyone else ever could, including you.

Angelia was worth billions to her and any other woman. She stiffened slightly before she chuckled, her hand

slapping my arm.

"I was just teasing you, | didn't mean anything by that. | am sure she is wonderful."

"Yes, she is." | grunted, sounding more like Kingston than myself. | despised the thought that anyone would even

think about putting down Angelia's worth to us.

"lI am sorry, | shouldn't have even joked about that."

"You shouldn't have, be sure to never do that again."

"I won't," she promised.

She moved closer to me, her eyes squinting at my chest. With a hand, she reached out to pluck something off

me.

"You have a lint right here, hold on and | will get it for you."

Chapter 178; | Have No Interest In You, Adanna.

"Adanna..." | began to protest but froze mid-sentence, my eyes catching on someone standing at the end of the

hallway. The splace where Adanna had cfrom only a moment ago. Angelia's eyes were wide as she took

us in, noting how close Adanna was standing toand she was most definitely seeing the hand she currently

had on my chest. My mouth opened to say something to Angelia, to tell her that this was definitely not what it

looked like, but | soon closed it again, trapping any words that wanted to cout. | couldn't let Adanna know

Angelia was a student here, goodness knows what she would do with that information. I didn't trust her as far as

| could throw her, and with my aversion to touching her, it wouldn't be a throw at all, but more like a slight push.

That was how long | could stand being in physical contact with her. A second later, Angelia turned around and

vanished from my view.

"There, it is gone." She said with a flirty smile.

If | thought she would givespace back, | thought wrong. With a sigh, | took another step back and gave her a

tired look.

"Adanna, | want you to be clear about one thing. | have no interest in you, and | do not look at you as anything

other than my sister's friend. Nothing will ever happen between us."

| had never spelled it out because, honestly, | had thought she would lose interest seeing how uninterested | had

been. But that hadn't been the case and | was tired of her come-ons. Not giving her a chance to react or cause

at my place of work, | asked curtly. "Now, what are you actually doing here?" | was starting to get not only

annoyed but pissed too.

| hated Angelia seeing this shit and probably thinking way too much with her overactive brain. Our girl had a

vivid imagination, that much I had figured out after spending twith her and getting a look inside that

beautiful but active mind of hers.

"Oh, that." She said, her voice growing colder than | had ever experienced, because | took that as a good sign. It

meant she was starting to understand where | stood. "Yes, that."

| was close to losing all my patience.

"Your sister tried to call you, but you didn't answer." My brows scrunched up.

"Why didn't she callon my work phone?"

| remember | had forgotten to turn off the flight mode on my private phone after my last class. It was still in my

bag, but that shouldn't

have been a problem. Ava had my number to my work phone too, just in case.

"She did, it was disconnected."

Shit! | had forgotten to charge it, and it had probably turned itself off by now. It was something | never forgot to

do, but the streets of these recent days had my mind elsewhere. "Anyway," she continued..

"I was in the neighborhood and told her | would swing by your office to let you know."

"Thanks, did she say anything about what this was about?" | asked, | was worried. If she had sent her friend after

me, it would have been

serious.

"It is probably best if you talk to her, it is about your dad."

Father, | corrected silently. | didn't like to think of him as my dad. Dad would imply a man who had been there for

the children. Dad was a word associated with love and care. Father, on the other hand, sounded much more

distant, more cold and that suited our relationship

better.

"Okay, well, thanks for dropping by to tell me. | will go ahead and caller now which was soo but boredo

"You are welcome. See you later."

The first thing | saw when | finally turned off airplane mode was the countless texts and missed calls from Ava. 1

Truthfully, I didn't really care about that old bastard, but | did care about my sister, and | never wanted her to furt

"I swung by his office and found him collapsed on the floor. H...he wouldn't wake up, Marshall" She informed me,

her voice thaking wi

distress.

My heart ached for my little sister, while | had distanced myself from our father. She still cared about him, | had

grown out of the desire for his love and make him proud, but she never did. She still craved the type of love only

a parent could give their children "Which hospital are you in? | am coming right now." | said, | put her on speaker,

needing my hands to stuff paperwork into my bag and grabbing whatever | would need to continue my work

later when | got home.

"Onyx hospital," she said, and also toldwhich floor | would find her on and the wing she was in.

It felt like | had forgotten something as | hurried out of my office and towards the parking lot. At that moment,

everything else faded into the background, my mind focused on getting out of here so | could be by my sister's

side. But still, while | got into the car, something was nagging atin the back of my mind, like there was

something else | should be doing too. What could it be?
