The next day came and Rosella laid awake on the king-sized bed. Her eyes were wide open but she didn’t feel alive.

Strangely as it seemed she felt like a part of her was missing and she couldn’t stop her gaze was darting to the empty space beside her.

Everything felt different, even the smell felt foreign to what she’s been used to for the past months.

What is this feeling? She wondered.

It made her heart void and at the same time it felt heavy. How was it possible to experience such?

She couldn’t wrap her head around it, she just lay there slowly moving her hand to the empty space.

“What am I doing?” She groaned in frustration and retracted her hand before hurriedly getting out of bed.

“I’m not thinking straight right now, that must be it! I didn’t sleep well so that makes sense”

Even though she said this, she still moved like a ghost to the bathroom, did her business and went down for breakfast. There the maid informed her that Marcus had already left. That was good news to

    “Presenting the Queen of the Night’s Aria!”The loud voice of the announcer rang in Rosella’s ears. The renowned composer Mozart was known for his happy tunes but let’s be f*cking honest, there was nothing joyous about the Queen of the Night’s lyrics, if anything it was the complete opposite!This very contrast described Rosella’s existence. Dressed to the nines for this Opera display, she looked as beautiful as a flower but none of that mattered as she cried her eyes out in the hallways. Everyone else enjoyed the show while she wept bitterly against the resounding instruments echoing through the walls. No one knew but her how stupid she felt, all the years spent on loving one man stared back at her in mocking delight, making her a slave to regret! The sounds ringing in her head wasn’t the sharp and melodious voice of the Prima Donna, instead it was the words told by Jake her supposed fiancé! Moments ago, these hallways knew the sound of his voice but right now she was barely st

    Rosella’s POVIt took just a month for my smooth-sailing life to crumble before my face and the captain of the wrecked ship was none other than me! Rosella Beauregard!When did things start going wrong for me?Was it when my father was killed and I was left alone in this world five years ago? Or when I trusted life for a second chance by devoting my heart?My guess is neither…I know exactly what went wrong and that’s ‘Love’I loved wrongly, for five years I kept watering a poisonous plant and eventually it bloomed and poured out its venom.I still remember the bright smile on my lips as I tried on various wedding dresses. The fitting was going smoothly and the attendants praised my beauty. I wasn’t new to such compliments but I felt especially pleased on that day and I wondered if it was because Jake was a few steps away. I know, I should’ve gone for the fitting with a friend but welcome to my antisocial life. I had no friends and I’ve grown quite used to being alone.In any case

    Rosella’s POVThe words rang in my head like a siren, I was flabbergasted to the point my lips only opened but I didn’t speak. That was the most outrageous thing I’ve heard all my life. I hoped he would say it’s a joke but it wasn’t. He looked dead serious staring into my eyes but I said nothing. For love I actually considered that ridiculous offer and that terrified my being to its core. For Jake’s sake I was willing to do it! I felt trapped in my mind and next I heard him explain the process in his pursuit to convince me.“You won’t ever meet him Rose, it’s just a medical procedure. You know, IVF. Once the baby is born you’ll hand it over and we can be together peacefully, there won’t be any contact between you two…”He kept on rambling as though I don’t know what a surrogate would do. I, on the other hand stayed numb in silence. In my mind was a battle of love and hate and as foolish as it sounds the hate I had for Donovan wasn’t enough to subdue the love I had for Jake so I a

  • Becoming The Mafia’s Surrogate   Chapter 4: Bring her

    Rosella’s POV‘How bad is my luck?’ I mumbled under my breath as I slowly lifted my head, but my neck paused midway. For one I realized he wasn’t talking to me! Those instructions were for the maids as every lady present already had their chins up and back straightened in a dignified posture so only I was left looking like a crooked bird!I took that as my cue to stand erect with my gaze shooting forward, purposely avoiding the tall frame of a man whose peppermint cologne had closed our distance even before his figure. His footsteps on the marble flooring rhymed with my racing heartbeat. Each one slamming against my ribcage.“Welcome Mr Donovan”The head maid was the first to speak and his strides finally ended along with the entourage of hefty men suited behind him. He had his sides facing me and then with a suave that was almost noble-like he turned and our eyes jammed. Those cold emotionless eyes stared at me like it could see my innermost soul and read my darkest thoughts.

    Rosella’s POV For a hot minute, my brain refused to process his words so I just stood as stiff as a board, my feet were already growing roots into the ground before I got a hold of the situation. “What are you talking about? That wasn’t the agreement-”“That’s not for you to decide” he cut me off and I took a deep breath to regulate my emotions. “Then why didn’t you tell me sooner? You allowed me to sign the contract only to drop such a bomb on me?”I was being responsible enough by holding this conversation but this man kept stepping on my last nerve!“You seemed excited to sign the contract and now you feign ignorance. I’m sure your fiancé explained the terms to you”Now I was really starting to second-guess everything. The things he said earlier about Jake I brushed them off as false allegations but it seems there are sides of the story I’m not aware of, or is this just a trick?!I decided to place my trust in Jake.“I don’t believe you, Jake would never agree to such terms.

    One month ago. The day of the Surrogacy announcement…In the high-rise building of Maston Corp. the hundredth floor which happened to be the highest level where Donovan’s office resided. The gloom of a man In his late twenties swamped the majestic swiveling chair where he sat with his eyes closed.At first glance he looked like he was asleep in dreamland but a closer look showed a man trapped in his nightmares! His eyes were squeezed showing signs of resistance and sweat beads formed on his forehead while his fingers crawled into the chair’s arm. The wrinkles of his brows kept getting deeper until the sound of the door opening snapped him awake and made him subconsciously blurt out a word. The word was a name and that name was…“Rose!”The intruding figure took a bow and walked closer until the moonlights shining from the huge windows behind Donn brightened his frame. “Franklin…” “How long will you continue to torture yourself?” A young man that seemed around the same age of Do

    The horror stricken face of every man around wasn’t enough to quantify what’s to come?! But the person in question who has shaken forbidden waters had no idea or maybe he got his boldness from staring death in the face because he kept on talking.“You know Marcus is a better leader than you! One day the Dalgliesh empire will fall and all your men will pledge allegiance to the Heinrich clan, I know it!”“Argh! Huff!”The man speaking received a whiplash that cut across his back. The men couldn’t stand to watch the blasphemous words falling from his mouth, if it wasn’t for the fact that they had to receive orders to end him, he wouldn’t be alive till now!The gloom over Donn was intense enough to melt anyone who dared to come close and his eyes were sharp as the viper staring deep into the soul of the nearly lifeless body. With a calm but thundering voice he commanded.“Pull out his teeth”Horror instantly filled the man’s face, he thought all that awaits was death but he seemed to f

    “Hello, am I speaking to Mirable?”Franklin’s voice formally came through the cell of a twenty-two year old girl. With shaky voice she replied.“Y-yes, I’m Mirable”“Congratulations, you’ve been hired for the secretary position. Starting Monday report to Maston Corp hundredth floor”Her hands went over her mouth, shock and relief graced her expression but mostly gratitude. It took a second but she finally regained her composure and answered.“Thank you-”The sound of loud clashes of broken glass interrupted her. It was loud enough to even capture Franklin’s attention over the phone and before he could ask about the situation the call dropped. Something felt terribly off and he wasn’t wrong for thinking that, because over there at Mirable’s house hell had set loose!She didn’t know when the phone in her hands fell to the ground but she found herself in the kitchen dragging her father off her mom with all her might!As usual, her feeble hands were no match for an aged man, just a

    Rosella’s POV What should I make of this? How is my birthday the passcode to his most secret possessions?I didn’t want to answer these questions and kept my head on the price. I walked into the room and saw the shelves arranged accordingly with stacks of documents labeled alphabetically. “I have to be fast” I followed the arrangement and found the document lying there. For a split second I hesitated, the thought of putting an end to my plans and going back to bed tugged my heart but I closed my eyes and hardened my heart. “I promised to find my father’s killer with concrete evidence so I can’t be swayed by unnecessary emotions” With this thought I grabbed the document and exited the room and I didn’t look back as I exited Castilo Manor while placing a call to Marcus.“Hello”“I got the papers”I overheard him release a dry laugh and I had every right to be worried about that! But then again, when has Marcus ever been normal?“I’ll come pick you up. Stay put” Like I had a cho

    Rosella’s POV I couldn’t say another word before he kissed me again. The truth was, even if I wanted to fight against my desires and make a run for it, there was simply no way out. He had me trapped underneath his body and it was clear there was no escape for me, still, I tried!“Donn… I’m not ovulating right now. Remember our agreement, you have to keep it” I said in a hurry, why wouldn’t I? He seemed extremely impatient, he already had his head buried in my chest.It was hard enough for me to focus and bud actions weren’t helping matters. “Isn’t that what you want?” His movements stopped and he locked eyes with me. His gaze was hazy but the desires in them were clear as day. I gulped subconsciously and his watchful eyes followed the lump on my neck. The already ignited tension fueled even more and I couldn’t help but inquire.“What do you mean?”There was a moment of silence, his eyes were searching mine and when he realized I really had no idea, he finally spilled the tea. I

    Rosella’s POV I knew I was always stuck between a rock and a hard place but this is just ridiculous! What sort of timing is this?“You can easily call a driver. At most I would stay with you until a driver arrives”“No! I want you to take me home”He stubbornly tightened his grip around my waist and I felt a headache coming. I could barely breathe properly but that was the least of my problems right now. “This isn’t the time to be selfish! -”“How is it that wanting to be with my wife is selfish? Am I not even allowed that much?” His voice sounded muffled buried inside my neck and I genuinely felt speechless. All my attempts to make him forget that was meaningless were proven futile, he called me his wife with so much conviction that it felt almost illegal to keep on rejecting.“You heard what Felix said. It’s an emergency so I need to -”“Are you his doctor? What would you do if you go? How would you help?! I’m in this situation because of you. I took the drink in your stead an

    Rosella’s POV The whole place rested in silence. The type that was mixed with unimaginable shock. Olivia had the biggest shock written on her face and I wasn’t exempted from the mortifying experience.Of course, only Donovan had a relaxed expression. Why wouldn’t he? After he had successfully sabotaged my life?!Before anyone could speak another word he dragged me by the hands and headed straight for the car where he literally bundled me inside and circled the car to take his position behind the wheel. Any day this man drives, my life is filled with one unfortunate scene after the other! “Donovan what is the meaning of this?! How could you tell everyone about that?! I told you we are actually married! Do you know the gravity of what you just did?!”Clearly, I was the only one pissed. Donovan had his brows relaxed, he looked especially pleased with the outcome of his thoughtless actions and I was the only one raging like a dog! He didn’t even have the decency of responding to my wor

    Rosella’s POV Although, I hate the idea of going to a party organized by Olivia and her minions, but the getting ready process allowed me to see Mirable after some days. I knew she was working so I didn’t want to disturb her but I can’t help but feel I caused such a mess that night at the club. After all it was my exclusive idea to drag her along, she was against it and look what a mess happened. Maybe it was because of guilt but I didn’t communicate with her like I normally do when we go for dress fitting and styling. Or maybe I just didn’t have anything to say because my mind was busy thinking of Felix. I still haven’t reached out to him and I wondered if he would even have me. “All done” The attendant announced and I stared in the mirror. I looked stunning but my countenance wasn’t on par with my looks. “Mirable…” The moment I called her she had a call and shot me an apologetic look. It was a business call so I understood and while she left to take it I also left to attend th

    Rosella’s POV I was cornered by his chest and the look in his eyes told me he was highly suspicious of me but it still had a flicker of flirtatiousness. I knew I needed to save myself immediately!“I was looking for you, I just got a little carried away by the sculptures and antiques” I said in one breath and the smirk on his lips broadened. “And why where you searching for me, Rose?”I was racking my brain to think of an answer and I suddenly blurted out. “Because when I woke up you weren’t there”What the hell am is saying?! My words would only give the wrong idea and they did just that!“So you missed me that much?” His eyes widened a little with surprise and his appearance evidently got lighter. He was in a good mood over the wrong thing!“That’s not what I meant” I gritted out either way. It’s best I think of a different excuse. “Then why?” He questioned and covered the last straw of distance between us. How was I supposed to think with such proximity?! My brain immediatel

    Rose had no intention of holding back her tears and she definitely had no intention of stopping. She grabbed onto his shirt and bawled her eyes out. Retching out the pain that was killing her inside. “What did I ever do wrong?! I wasn’t the best daughter but I wasn’t irredeemable either! I was so young! She could’ve waited a little bit longer! She could’ve been my mother for a few more years, then I wouldn’t resent her this much! Arrrrrgh!”Donovan didn’t say anything, he just let her cry to her heart’s content while gently stroking her head and patting her back. “If only I could meet her once, just once in this lifetime, that’s all I ask. I’m not hoping for a reunion or anything, I’m not that naive. I just want to know why she left me that night. I want to scream my lungs out and say. Why did you abandon me, Mother?! You told me to wait! You said you’d be back! Wasn’t I worth it?! Was I not f*cking worth it?!”“It’s okay, I’m here for you, Rose”Those soothing words from him fel

    Rosella’s POV“What?” Before I could comprehend what was going on he pulled me by the hand into the now empty theater. He really sent everyone out! I stared at him in disbelief. I held his gaze for a minute longer and suddenly stared laughing. I wasn’t just laughing, I was wheezing. For odd reasons, I found the reality very absurd. The fact that Donovan actually has the potential to go crazy was exhilarating. The heavens really shared problems for everyone. Why was he so paranoid over such details? “Are you done laughing?” He sounded pissed. Maybe I did overstate the problem but it was still award-worthy. I cleared my throat and adjusted my hair.“Since you already chased everyone away like a petty two-year-old, I guess we have no choice but to see the movie, alone”Wait, alone?! I just realized that the jokes are on me! I’m trapped here alone with Donovan! What could be worse than that?We sat for the movie and after a moment the film started rolling. Maybe if I focused o
