Su Paloma (Mafia Series #3)

UNRAVELING

Kieran's pov

I arrived in the park as soon as I received the text from my men that it was a secure location and nothing seemed off.

They made sure to interfere with any security camera transmissions within a 10 mine radius all around.

We would be completely unsupervised.

As I arrived and exited my vehicle I began to think of a plan to persuade Emerson to spend the night with me in my home.

With my son.

I wanted a night with them to myself. And why not a better moment than now. My son would find out I am his father and we would faintly meet.

Perfecto.

I approached the waterfall where Emerson told me to meet her. Next to the waterfall was a set of playing equipment for children.

As I got closer I spotted my son playing with a smaller girl with a head full of bouncy curls.

My son is going to be quite the ladies man like his father.

I smiled and began to try and spot Emerson. When I spotted her I saw her talking to a man, I know this man.

Raphael Contzenza, Vidalgo Scioccos right hand man. What the fuck is he doing here?!

I didn't approach any further, instead I stood near a rock climbing wall and watched.

I saw Emerson gain a hard face as she pointed a finger in his face clearly confronting him with something.

The look he was giving her mirrored guilt and frustration. He nodded and yelled for someone, when he did the little girl with curls came running.

When he was going to take her in his arms, Emerson stopped him and told him a few words. She seemed to be assuring him that the small child would be fine without him.

He debated it for a few seconds before kissing the girl on the cheek and motioning for her to resume her playing.

He eventually nodded in agreement to Emerson's words, squeezed her shoulder and pointed in a direction before going that way.

When he was finally out of view I took no time in heading in Emerson direction.

She was quietly sitting on a bench with a book in hand while watching our son and the little girl play.

I didn't announce myself, but I knew better than to think she wasn't aware of my presence.

I taught her well. She is a smart woman and even without my assistance she is very observant.

I sat down beside her and didn't say a word. We had a two foot gap between us when she began to speak. "You look nice."

I looked over and took in her attire. She was wearing a white hoodie with grey sweats and gym shoes with her hair up in a bun that sat on her head perfectly.

My wife was damn stunning even in casual clothes.

"You look beautiful." I was wearing black sweats with a grey hoodie and a black cap over my head blocking most of my face. The only clearly visible attribute was my beard.

"Why is Contzenza here?" I didn't look in her direction as I spoke keeping my eyes locked on the curly haired boy that was running around.

"Vidalgo sent him as protection as well as a buddy for junior. I had no clue of his plans until he showed up in my office with Junior." I hummed catching on before I could get a word out she scooted closer to me.
