BETROTHED TO THE ITALIAN ALPHA MAFIA BOSS 47. Boss Baby
The location for Mr. Rossi’s party had been changed to the mansion, and I overheard the children’s excitement about coming here. The event was set to start at one in the afternoon, and the anticipation in the air was palpable.In the kitchen, the cooking was nearly finished, and the atmosphere was light, almost celebratory. The girls and I were chatting and laughing, trying to keep things upbeat. Despite their energy, I couldn’t shake the weight pressing down on me. Last night had been brutal.I cried throughout the night, letting out all the frustration, anger, and helplessness I felt about my situation. I didn’t care if the girls heard me. They probably did, but none of them mentioned it. How could they understand how trapped I felt? No matter how much they tried to make me feel welcome, this place wasn’t home—it wasn’t even close.But I had a plan, at least in my mind. I wasn’t going to stay here forever. I’d find a way to leave, to escape this suffocating isolation and carve out a

--Cassie--“Did my dad come with him?” I asked Michelle, my voice betraying the faint hope I’d been clinging to.“No,” she said flatly, her answer like a pin popping the fragile bubble of expectation I’d held onto. The disappointment was instant, a heaviness settling in my chest that I couldn’t shake.Without another word, I pulled out my phone, scrolling through the contacts in my phonebook until I found his name. My thumb hovered over the call button for a moment before I pressed it.“Dad,” I said as soon as he picked up.His voice was rushed, concerned. “Why? Is something wrong?”The panic in his tone made my stomach twist, and I hurried to reassure him. “No, no, it’s nothing like that. You didn’t come back with Alessandro, and I was worried.”There was a pause before he sighed. “Oh, I thought something serious had happened. I had to fly back to America—something urgent came up. I’ll come to visit you another time, okay? Take care, and please, don’t forget to answer my calls.”The

--Cassie--The party was in full swing at the back of the house, a vibrant display of joy and energy. The yard had been transformed into a child’s paradise, complete with a trampoline, inflatable slides, and various games scattered around. Children’s laughter filled the air as they ran about, their faces glowing with happiness as they explored every activity. The colorful decorations—streamers, balloons, and banners—added to the lively atmosphere, making it feel like a scene straight out of a storybook.I chose a chair tucked slightly away from the bustle, hoping to stay under the radar for a while. Sitting there, I observed the chaos of the party with a distant gaze, my mind wandering. I wasn’t particularly in the mood to mingle and planned to retreat back into the house soon enough. My eyes scanned the crowd, unconsciously searching for Alessandro, Mr. Rossi, or even his ever-present best friends. None of them were anywhere in sight.“Looking for someone?” a voice interrupted my tho

--Cassie--“We will be cutting the cake now!” the MC’s voice boomed, snapping me out of my thoughts. My eyes instinctively moved to where my so-called friends and Alessandro stood together near the massive cake table. I caught sight of Mr. Rossi looking directly at me, his expression a mix of amusement and expectancy.“The young gentleman here is looking for his friend, Mrs. DeLuca,” the MC announced, and suddenly all eyes turned in my direction. The weight of their stares pressed on me like an invisible force, making my heart race. A part of me wanted to disappear, but I forced myself to rise from my seat. Straightening my top, I walked over to join them, keeping my face neutral despite the turmoil inside.The girls tried to strike up a conversation as I approached, their voices tentative, but I ignored them. Their betrayal was still fresh in my mind, and I wasn’t ready to pretend everything was fine. Instead, I made my way to Mr. Rossi and stood beside him, silently granting his uns

--Cassie--"Cassie," Hailey called out, her voice hesitant, muffled through the door.I didn’t respond. Instead, I sat on my bed, eating the food Alessandro had brought, my thoughts swirling. I wasn’t in the mood to face them, not after everything that had happened. Yes, it was their personal lives, but we were supposed to be more than just friends—we were sisters. The sting of their secrecy still burned, and I didn’t trust myself to speak without letting my emotions spill over."We’re sorry. Can you please open the door?" their voices chorused through the door, pleading. But I wasn’t interested in their apologies, not now."I’m disappointed, girls," I finally said, my voice steady but laced with hurt."We know," they replied softly, their regret evident."It’s time for dinner," they said, trying to coax me out."I’ve already had my dinner," I replied curtly, slipping on my headphones. I needed to drown them out, to create a barrier between their voices and my churning thoughts. I did

--Cassie--I was ready. Every fiber of my being buzzed with excitement and nervous energy as I took a deep breath, steadying myself.“Thank you, Valentina,” I said, wrapping my arms around her in a quick hug. Her presence was comforting, a reminder of stability amidst the chaos swirling around me.The rhythmic hum of a helicopter filled the air as we made our way outside. Valentina carried my bag, rushing alongside me. Hailey and Michelle stood nearby, their luggage neatly placed beside them, their expressions a mix of anticipation and curiosity. Alessandro’s best friends lingered around the helipad, exuding their usual air of confident nonchalance.“Let me have her bag,” Alessandro said, his tone firm but calm as he reached for it. Without waiting for Valentina’s consent, he took the bag from her and turned to me. Then, without warning, he reached for my hand.I froze, glancing down at our joined hands in disbelief. Was he out of his mind? My first instinct was to pull away, but I he

--Cassie--I don’t know what came over me as I suddenly flung myself into his arms. He looked taken aback, his body stiff as I hugged him tightly, but I didn’t care. For once, I needed to lean on someone—someone I could show my vulnerability to, someone who wouldn’t judge me. I wanted to feel the release of being seen for who I truly was, even if it was just for a moment before I had to put myself back together and return to being the person I was expected to be."Shhh," he said softly, his hand gently patting my back. His touch was comforting, like he was trying to soothe the storm inside me, but it didn’t stop the tears from spilling down my face. I couldn’t hold them back anymore. They poured from me, soaking his white shirt, but I didn’t care."It’s okay," he whispered, his voice filled with something raw—something I hadn’t expected. It was a rare vulnerability I hadn’t heard from him before, and it made the tears fall even harder."Why does everyone dislike me?" I asked, my voice

Reluctantly, I opened my eyes, blinking to adjust to the dim light. He was right; we were in the car. I glanced around and noticed the partition separating us from the driver. We were entirely alone, the space intimate and quiet. My gaze shifted to Alessandro, and he was already staring at me.His eyes—those piercing blue eyes—locked onto mine, holding my attention in a way that made my heart skip a beat. They were impossibly intense, like the ocean after a storm, deep and unwavering. The silence stretched between us, filled with unspoken words and emotions I couldn’t yet name.I felt my breath hitch, and the blush I had been trying to suppress returned with full force. "You—you could’ve just woken me up," I mumbled, my voice barely above a whisper.Alessandro’s lips curved into a small, knowing smile. "And miss the chance to have you in my arms? Never, bambina."My heart raced at his words, and I turned away, trying to hide my flustered expression. But Alessandro reached out, gently

"I was busily eating my food, savouring every bite. I was enjoying it so much. When I felt a sharp pain sear through my abdomen."Ahh!" I screamed, dropping my spoon as I clutched my belly."Why, what is wrong?" Alessandro came to my side immediately, looking all scared with fear as well as concern written all over his face."I feel so much pain," I said to him as the pain became more and more unbearable as I struggled to find my breath."Let me get the doctor." Without looking at me, he ran out of the room."Hailey and Michelle rushed to my side while Auntie Emily told me to breathe in and out as everyone looked scared of what was about to happen. ‘’Breath in and out, dear,’ Aunty Emily said, despite the tension in the air.The door opened and a nurse rushed to my side. "Can you please raise your legs? I would like to check", the nurse said to me Sensing the tension in the room as wellI obeyed, wanting to have this baby out of me soon."You are now eight centimetres dilated," she

--Cassie--The massive doors of the mansion swung open, and Alessandro drove through the entrance, the car gliding smoothly over the stone-paved driveway. The house stood in silent grandeur, its towering structure bathed in the soft glow of moonlight.As I stepped inside, I noticed the eerie stillness that had settled over the place. It seemed like everyone was already asleep. Not wanting to disturb anyone, I made my way straight to the kitchen, determined to prepare my meal myself. The hunger gnawed at my stomach, urging me to move quickly.I gathered the ingredients I needed, placing them neatly on the counter. With a flick of my wrist, I turned on the stove and cracked an egg into a sizzling pan, the rich aroma instantly filling the air. The gentle hum of the toaster and the quiet bubbling of the oatmeal on the stove created a soothing rhythm in the otherwise silent kitchen."Amore," Alessandro's deep voice called from the hallway."I'm in the kitchen!" I yelled back, keeping my fo

--Cassie--“Bambina,” he murmured, his voice low and rough, thick with restrained desire. The husky timbre sent a shiver down my spine, making my breath hitch. My heart pounded against my ribs, a frantic, unsteady rhythm that mirrored the sudden heat surging through my veins.His dark eyes roamed over me, devouring every inch as though he were memorizing the sight, branding it into his soul. There was something primal in his gaze, a possessiveness that made my stomach tighten and my knees weak. Slowly, deliberately, his fingers reached behind me, brushing the curve of my back as he deftly unclasped my bra. The whisper of fabric against my skin sent a fresh wave of anticipation coursing through me. The delicate garment slipped away, leaving me completely exposed beneath his heated scrutiny.A sharp gasp escaped my lips as I took in the intensity of his expression—raw, hungry, reverent. The evidence of his own desire pressed insistently against the fabric of his boxers, a silent testame
BETROTHED TO THE ITALIAN ALPHA MAFIA BOSS 97.Nine months pregnant
---Cassie--I am officially nine months pregnant, and honestly, I feel like a whale."Cassie, what have you been eating?" Aunty Emily exclaimed when she saw me.I just smiled at her, unable to find the words to explain that it wasn’t just cravings—it was hunger that never seemed to end.Aunty Sophia and her mate had just returned from a cruise after being away for about three weeks. This was the first time they'd seen me in all this time. Today, we were having a family dinner at her house, and she had invited Aunty Emily, Hailey, Lorenzo, Marco, Alessandro, Stephanie, Lalia, and me."The babies are both four kilos each," Alessandro said, his voice tinged with awe as he looked at my swollen belly."Are you serious?" Aunty Emily laughed. "Then they already weigh more than you did, Alessandro."Everyone chuckled, and I couldn't help but smile, though I could feel the weight of the truth in her words. I was carrying a lot of extra weight, but it was for a good cause. "Hello," her mate s

--Cassie--A sudden knock at the door broke the comfortable silence in the room."Someone’s knocking. Check who it is, Alessandro," I murmured, nudging him lightly.He groaned, stretching lazily before getting up from the bed. We were both curled up under the covers, waiting for the extra bed the nurse had promised to bring in an hour. Until then, Alessandro refused to leave my side, insisting he needed to be close to me.I watched as he made his way to the door, his steps slow and reluctant."Come in, Aunty Emily," Alessandro said, pulling the door open."You’re awake!" Aunty Emily’s voice was filled with relief and joy as she stepped inside."Yeah, I am," I replied with a small smile, watching as she made her way over to the sofa."I brought you some chicken soup, rice, and fresh fruit," she said, setting a bag down and beginning to unpack the food. The aroma of the soup instantly filled the room, making my stomach growl in anticipation."Thank you, Aunty Emily," I said sincerely, w

--Cassie--We couldn't stop staring at the nursery. Everything had been put in place yesterday, and the room now felt complete. The soft pastel walls, the carefully chosen decorations, and the neatly arranged furniture created the perfect space for our baby.I felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude toward Dennis—he had been a tremendous help, making sure everything was set up just right.The rocking chair was positioned beside the crib, a cozy spot for late-night lullabies. The changing tables stood just beside the chair, creating a seamless flow between the essentials. In the corner of the room stood the wardrobe, already filled with tiny outfits I had carefully folded and placed inside. Each little onesie and blanket held the promise of the moment I would finally meet them—our babies.A warm smile tugged at my lips as I ran my fingers over the soft fabric of a baby blanket. But before I could fully savor the excitement, a sharp pain shot through my abdomen."Ugh!" I groaned, doubli

--Cassie--The sharp trill of my phone broke through the quiet, drawing my attention away from the half-eaten toast in front of me. I glanced at the caller ID. Genevive.“Hello, Genevive,” I said, pressing the phone to my ear.“Cassie! Tell your bodyguard to let me in,” she snapped, frustration coating her tone.I frowned, confused. “Blake?”“No, it’s someone else. I’ve never met him before. And, honestly, he’s driving me crazy!”“Okay, give me a minute. I’ll sort it out,” I replied, trying not to laugh at her exasperation. I hung up and turned to Juliet, who was setting plates on the dining table.“Juliet, who’s on duty at the gate today?”“A new guy,” she replied without looking up.“What? Where’s Blake?”“He has gone to hospital appointment with Marcy,” Juliet answered, placing a glass of orange juice beside me.I let out a sigh. “Can you tell him to let Genevive in? She’s waiting at the gate.”Juliet nodded and moved to the intercom at the far end of the room. Her voice was calm a

--Cassie--Today, Alessandro decided to start setting up the nursery since the baby would be arriving soon. I eagerly offered to help, but he insisted that he just needed me there to guide him on where I wanted things placed."Bambina," I heard him call from the nursery."I'm coming!" I responded, quickly slipping into my pants before stepping out of our bedroom.The nursery was right next to our room, and as I walked in, I noticed that Alessandro hadn't started yet. He stood in the middle of the room, arms crossed, surveying the empty space."You haven't started yet?" I asked, raising an eyebrow."I was waiting for you," he said with a small smile. "I want to know where you think the wallpaper should go."I walked further into the room, imagining the layout in my mind. "The crib should go here," I said, pointing to the far wall. "So, I definitely want the wallpaper behind it. Something soothing, maybe a starry night theme."Alessandro nodded thoughtfully. "And where will you keep the

--Cassie--It’s already twelve o’clock, and guests will start arriving soon. “Go and get ready,” Aunty Sophia said, heading towards the kitchen.“Looks like I’m right on track,” Lalia remarked, following me.We entered the elevator together and rode up in silence. Once inside my bedroom, I sank onto the plush sofa, Lalia sitting beside me.“Alessandro still hasn’t arrived?” she asked, glancing at the time.“No, I was just about to call him,” I replied, reaching for my phone resting on the sofa cushion. Just then, Alessandro walked through the door.“Sorry I’m late, Bambina,” he said, his voice laced with exhaustion. “There were rogues around, and we had to take care of it.” His usually neat hair was disheveled, a clear sign he had been running his fingers through it in frustration.I offered him a small smile. “I understand.”“I’ll get ready in the next room,” Alessandro said, heading into the closet to grab his pink shirt.Lalia shot me a puzzled look. “Why is Alessandro wearing pink
