Chapter 24: Two Lawyers One, Mobster.

Pauly’s POV.

“Pauly.” Eleanor’s soft voice briefly soothed me.

My temper was frail, my nerves were made of glass, and my emotions were too close to the surface. I was too tired to control myself. It was either get angry or punch a speedball.

This kitchen held two of the three females that meant more to me than they knew. More to me than I could frame words around. The reminder of how precious both of them had become clear to me. Even Eleanor in such a short time was enough for my anger to quickly fade.

Though I knew with certainty that Olivia wouldn’t do anything purposefully to harm Eleanor, I also knew what she was like when she had her mind set on something. Olivia became a woman possessed. It didn’t matter the person on the other end just mattered that they held the key to the solution she needed.
