Welcome to the Family

Part 8

I put my jacket on and walked down the stairs, whistling for Boomer as I went. No one was home so I didn't have to tell anyone where I was going. Mi padre y hermanos were still not back from their business trip. They probably wouldn't be back for a month or so. Padre was showing them different corporations that they could be apart of.

I was a little sceptic about letting Boomer and Sasha have a play date, but that's what Damon asked for and I knew I had to make it up to him for taking care of Boomer. Walking outside, the weather was warm with a little breeze coming from the ocean.

The ride to the park wasn't terribly long, we got there in less than 20 minutes. Once I pulled up, I could see Damon and Sasha off in the distance playing ball. Boomer tore off toward them, but I laid back. Taking my time getting there. The feeling that everything was in motion to result in a big thing was forming in the pit of my stomach. I had to mentally remind myself that I was strong and could handle anything.

Finally reaching Damon, he turned toward me and smiled a genuine smile. "I didn't think you'd come." He glanced at the dogs but his gaze returned to me.

"Well I kind of had to. I promised." I gave him a ghost of a smile, before running off to Boomer and Sasha. Mind as well enjoy myself while I'm here. After all I did get myself in this situation. But I knew nothing would come of this. I couldn't risk everything I worked for. Glancing back at Damon I saw him watching me. That's all it took. I saw everything that could've been, should've been, but would never be. He was basically my equal, it's my job to know all the other mafia leaders, because I've heard everything he's done in the last couple of months and I found out about his father. Poor thing. Just because I was Jezebel Salazar doesn't mean I don't have feelings.

Sadly though I knew duty came first and I knew what I was signing up for when I became leader. I'm sure it would have been fun while it lasted, but no.

Sighing I shook my head with a laugh. "Enough of the gushy stuff. Welcome to the Family Jezebel."

Okay I'm really really sorry, but this book is going on hold. This chapter is kind of a closing one for now until I can bring myself to write more. Sorry it isn't longer.
