PEGGY POV
I was happy to know that he was in love with mom. I thought she was just a plaything to him. Maybe he lied to me when we first met because he didn't want anyone to see how a woman messed up his life. A mafia boss shouldn't fall in love, the enemies consider it a weakness.
"Dad, I'm glad I was able to talk to you. Will you stay here for good? My sisters can stay here too. The house is huge, we can all fit in here." I suggested.
He pinched my nose and smiled.
"I can't. If they find out I'm here, your lives will be in more danger. I have to find a way to stop the Rossi's. But can you let your sisters stay here even when I'm gone?" He said in a gentle voice.
When he said the word 'gone', I suddenly felt anxious again. As if he was leaving for good and I would never see him again. I wanted him to stay but I know he would still insist on leaving to protect us.
"Okay. But can you stay for a few more days? Spend time with Caden?" I pleaded.
