Chapter 118

• Who’s Baby
• Mandy’s POV
• Matteo and I leave Mel’s apartment after he is done grilling us. On the way back to my house, he gets a phone call. I can hear that it is a woman’s voice on the other end, but can’t make out what she is saying. From what I can put together of the conversation Matteo is going to see her tonight. My suspicions come true when we pull up in front of my building and he doesn’t get out. As we sit in the back of the SUV in silence, all I want to do is snap at him and demand that he gets out of my way. But after the incident with him showing up at Mel’s place, I don’t really want to push him further. It seems like he is hunting a reason to punish me. I space out thinking about everything that went down this morning with Don Mucci. ‘It was the best and worst mistake I have made in my life. The results of this fatal error could be my death sentence. If my husband ever found out, without a doubt he would kill me.’ I’m so deep in my thoughts I don’t hear Matteo speaking to me at first. “Mandy, are you listening to me?” Realizing that I have no idea what he said, I shake my head and apologize. “I’m sorry I was I kind of blanked out there for a second. Let me take a guess though you’re not coming in with me?”
