Forbidden Temptation My Mafia Fiance's Alpha Father (Brooklyn and Aden) novel Chapter 47

Chapter 47
Brooklyn

As Remington’s family life explodes behind me, I follow Lucas and my other guard out of the room and into the hall.

The three of us hurry towards the door, confusion roiling in me. I had no idea that I would be the cause of so much strife.

Before I step out the door, though, I hear a little voice call out behind me.

“Wait!”

Logan is running down the stairs, a book in his little hands. He dashes to meet me at the door.

“I found this in my closet!” he says. “A long time ago.”

He holds the book up to me, and I can see that it’s a photo album. I take it from him gently and flip it open, shocked at what I see.

Images of my mother’s wedding day to Alpha Remington.

And, wow… I’m in them.

“That’s you, right?” Logan says, peeking at the pages of the book, pointing at the picture of my mother.

“No. That was my mom. Thank you for showing it to me, Logan,” I say softly, looking down at him gratefully.

I push it back towards him as the noise escalates in the next room.

“No, you can keep it,” Logan says, smiling up at me. “And maybe, when you come back, you can bring me a present.”

He gives me a big, mischievous smile, and I can’t stop myself from laughing. Kids are resilient.

“A fair trade,” I tell him and then jerk up at the sound of a crash I hear from the sitting room.

“You’d better go,” he says, nodding at me.

“Will you be okay, though?” I ask.

“Sure,” he says, grinning at me with confidence. “This happens all the time.”

I hesitate.

“Miss,” one of my guards says, again tugging at my arm.

“Okay,” I say, following my guard. “I’ll be back, Logan. I promise.”

Logan doesn’t look concerned. “With a present,” he says, and smiles again.
