Chapter 8 - The Confession
Tears finally spilled over Emily's eyelashes, streaming down her face. She couldn't hide the pain or the secret anymore.
"He told me he would kill him," Emily sobbed, her voice breaking completely. "He told me if I stayed, my son would never take his first breath. You told me I was weak, Grant. So I left. I left so my baby could live."
Grant closed his eyes. A tear escaped the mafia boss’s eyelashes, sliding down his harsh features. He had called her weak. But she had been infinitely stronger than he ever was, sacrificing her entire life, working on her feet for eight months in cheap, worn shoes, entirely to protect his child.
Grant opened his eyes. The sorrow vanished, entirely replaced by a terrifying, protective fury.
He turned back to his older brother, who was groaning on the floor, trying to crawl away.
"Call the cleaner," Grant commanded the terrified restaurant manager, who was shaking in the corner. "Tell him to bring a very large bag to the service elevator."
Victor’s eyes widened in sheer terror. "Grant, no! I'm your brother! You can't!"
