Sold To the Grizzly Don (Alcee and Bruno) novel Chapter 90

Chapter 90

“Okay, what was that all about?” Alcee asked Genevra as they locked themselves into the theatre room.

“My brother cannot keep me in his condo because he’s out running around like a chicken with his head cut off for Torq looking for Corrado and his fools, so I’ve been forced to stay in Kylen’s place. Kylen has been monitoring things on his computer. Do you know he has these black rimmed glasses which look sexy as hell on him? Men who are already desperately good looking should not wear sexy glasses. It is unfair!”

“I see.” Alcee drawled out slowly.

“I don’t see,” Lorita commented seriously. “What happened?”

“He treats me like I’m a child!” Genevra stomped furiously. “I swear the last person who treated me in such a way was my nonno and he’s been

dead ten years.”

“How exactly did he treat you like a child?”

“Let’s start with, he put me in the room his niece stays in when she comes

comes to visit.”

“She’s six and it’s pink with a canopy bed.”

“Oh.” Amal’s rounded mouth was comical as she looked around the room. “He has a room in his condo with a pink canopy bed?”

“For his niece. Apparently they talk every single day. He told me when he’s talking to her I’m to sit with my mouth shut because he doesn’t introduce strangers to her ever.”

“He did not. It’s not like he’s introducing a lover to his own kid. He’s literally your bodyguard and it’s his niece.” Amal snorted derisively. “What a jackass.”

“I’m still stuck on how he decorated a room entirely for this little girl.” Susana was very generously pouring wine into the glasses..

“There’s even a picture next to the bed of him and her playing tea party. I guess his sister was married to a marine and he died or something when she was pregnant. Kylen stepped in and helps out. His sister is a nurse and when she has overnight shifts and their mother can’t babysit, Kylen takes her. It made more sense to give her a room of her own.”

“Well, I mean if the room is all set up already this way.”

“There are three other guest rooms which are not decorated for a child. He was putting me in my place.”

“Oof,” Lorita pulled her head back in surprise. “What did you do to deserve such relegation?”

“I was pissed off. I did not want to be there. There is no reason I can’t stay at Bastiano’s unattended or at the hotel room. I might have been yelling at Bastiano about how unfair it was to be shipped off to be babysat by an old man with bad manners. He told me if I were going to be a child and throw temper tantrums I could go in the little girl room. Dickhead.”

The women all giggled at Geneva’s words.

“I made one stupid mistake and they’re going to be at me forever.”

“Just one?” Alcee called her out,

“One long one?” Genevra tried with a half–smile pulling her lips.

“What did you do?” Larita asked curiously.

“I fooled around with a married woman for the trinkets she bought me. Needed to be pulled out of the country quick because she tried to kill me when she realized I wasn’t loyal to her and was messing around with her husband and then I stupidly posted I was in New York when we landed. Bastiano was in the photo. It let everyone know we’d actually landed, and we got shot at. Then I was really frazzled about it, and I didn’t even. want to be here and so I was lashing out and maybe I shot my mouth off at Alcee and tried to fire her.”

“I think this counts as at least four mistakes, Genevra, Amal laughed at her. “Did you really sleep with a woman for trinkets?”

“She bought me a Gucci purse, Amal, and the sweetest pair of Chanel sunglasses.”

“You’re a brand whore.” Susana giggled.

“She took the weird track suit thing you
