Becoming The Mafia’s Surrogate Chapter 14: A deal is a deal
Shock and horror bore appearance on Mirable’s face. She had barely done a month’s work and she was already getting fired?!And for such a reason!Rose blinker repeatedly, she clearly didn’t see that coming. Why would Donn suddenly fire his secretary for her mistake? The air was tight and so was Mirable’s chest. She just stood with her fingers pressing down on the files in her hands. She couldn’t utter a word as she watched her future crumble down before her eyes.Getting this job was a dream come true for her, heck! It was more like a miracle sent from the heavens to deliver her from the monster she calls father. But she soon realized that the dream wasn’t all sunshine and rainbow. From the moment she stepped foot in Maston Corp as Donn’s secretary all eyes were piercing her like a dagger.Stares of envy were being shot at her from all directions but she stayed unfazed. She thought it’ll all be worth it. In a few weeks she had to mingle with all kinds of mighty people. Pe

The day unfolded pretty smoothly for Rose, until Mirable brought the drafted contract for the surrogacy, this time with new terms! From the information she gathered Donn had left Castilo Manor. It was noon by the time she got her hands on the contract so she got busy reading through it. Of course she had no plans to actually see this through. The only thought in her head was how to escape this place in one piece!Right now, she sat in the balcony, glancing down at the vast landscape. She watched the gardeners spray some liquid and trim the bushes. From above they drew a pattern that looked like a flower.A rose flower, although the bushes were green, anyone could still picture out the rose hidden in the garden. Rose didn’t find it strange, she didn’t even give it a second thought before retracting her gaze back to the white document in her hands.Her eyes were fixed on it but she wasn’t reading a thing.All she could think of was the incidence with Jake and how to leave this

The elaborate preparation didn’t dwindle her resolve. She was still interested in learning about the terms of the contract from Donn!As said earlier, she was taken to the kitchen. For Rose it was far too luxurious. After all, only Donn lived here, why did he need such a big kitchen?! Her entire apartment could fit in and there would be space for her lawn!But she didn’t dwell on the fact. The kitchen staff immediately dropped their hands and walked over. “We’ll take your instructions”The feeling was new to Rose but she couldn’t deny that it felt good. Everyone was at her service and it made her remember her younger days when she was the princess of the house. A nostalgic feeling swept through her but it soon vanished. The very reason why all that disappeared was because of Donn! So there was no way she would bask in the things he had prepared for her. If this was compensation for ruining her life then he better count his losses. “Alright for main course let’s have Spaghett

“Do I have your word?”Rose ears perched up, he was actually considering it?! The feeling of uncertainty made her nervous, maybe he really wasn’t allergic to raspberries and she’s just foolish herself. She thought.But her mind remembered the awkward look on the chef’s face. She looked bothered, that must’ve meant something right?“Yes, you have my word”Rose bit the bullet and decided to trust her gut instinct. The feeling of uneasiness have barely settled in her stomach when she watched Donn take a mouthful portion of the pie. He swallowed a big slice, not a portion or a piece!The discovery caused Rose to stare at Donn for a little longer than expected.She couldn’t tell what he was thinking and this marvelous feeling wasn’t as pleasant as it seemed. She blinked repeatedly, it looked as if she picked the wrong answer.Donn was fine, in fact, after a few more slices of pie he stood up and walked over. Rose who was lost in thoughts only realized too late when he was stand

Donn stood facing the window and undeniably flexed his broad back at her.That’s right! His upper body was bare and Rose eyes observed his toned muscles. She was a woman after all! Such a scene was a delightful sight to behold, not even all the hatred of the world could prevent her from taking a good look at his well carved body. The lighting in the room was soft, unlike the last time she was here and all she saw was darkness.Now the highlights of his room came to being in her pupils.“You look well”Rose broke the ice and Donn finally turned. If she thought his back was hot, now she was on fire when she laid eyes on his chest abs. She was trying hard not to look but Donn wasn’t making it easy.“Why? Are you disappointed?”Before she could reply, he added “I’m sure you know the rumors of my allergies”“Yes, it’s just a shame they were baseless rumors. You look hale and hearty”There was no hint of enthusiast in her tone as she spoke but Donn laughed in response. His steps clo

Rosella’s POV What in the world is going on?!In all my anti-social years of living I have never heard my phone beep two messages at once, not to mention over a hundred messages were buzzing my phone in real time! My message box read nine hundred and ninety nine plus and that’s when I knew there was a problem. For weird reasons the first thing I opened was my high school group chat. Everyone kept tagging me and I had a feeling why! Of course it had something to do with my dear ex fiancé and his new found love, or should I say old love! Apparently I was the newbie in their blossoming love, most comments didn’t seem shocked about the discovery. Their discussions were divided into two, Some said they always suspected something going on and that made me feel like the biggest fool of the century!While others were genuinely surprised and shared their pity for me. Either ways, the group was in a frenzy. Especially with the reunion coming up, they seemed to have a lot to talk

Rosella’s mind was in a messy state, she kept rethinking her decision.Not that she could change her mind now. It’s far too late already, still she had a gut feeling that her actions were going to haunt her for the rest of her life. She muted her phone so now only the vibrating feeling notified her of the numerous messages popping in.Her class group was the most active and she could guess their topic of discussion!The news of her and Donovan has spread like wild fire so typically everyone in the group had something to say. She didn’t bother reading through the messages or even opening the chat, she was more focused on what tonight held!What does the universe have install for her?Jake was sure to attend and since the theme was ‘come in pairs’ Adriana would stick to him like a mutt to light! It was noon by the time Mirable knocked on her door.“It’s time, I’ll take you to get ready. This time we will go out”The thought of going out excited Rose, In no time she was ready and i

Rosella’s POV The shining lights and flashes from cameras told me to brace myself because I knew the minute I step on that red carpet with Mr. Dangerous, there was no turning back. Even now it was simply impossible for me to change my mind.My heart pumped louder against my chest as Donovan circled the car to get me. The second my six-inch stiletto touched ground my ears were invaded with loud sounds of chattering.Earlier the car’s sound proof blocked it out. I wasn’t expecting such noise to instantly fill my brain and subconsciously leaned on Donovan for support. By the time I realized my mistake his hand was already wrapped around my waist protectively. I didn’t know if it was to provide support or for the eyes of the reporters. My guess is the latter!We talked side by side and I fixed my face by flashing a smile that wrinkled my eyes. “Can you answer some few questions- ”“We want to have a word with Miss Rose- ”“Does your decision to become Mr Donovan’s surrogate have

Becoming The Mafia’s Surrogate Chapter 100: My Wife
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
Becoming The Mafia’s Surrogate Chapter 99: I need you
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
Becoming The Mafia’s Surrogate Chapter 98: An invitation
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
Becoming The Mafia’s Surrogate Chapter 97: The rain and snow
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
Becoming The Mafia’s Surrogate Chapter 96: Blonde and beautiful
Rosella’s POV “I already gave you my cycle report. I’m not ovulating now so give it a rest, will you?” I tried to act nonchalantly even though my heart was pumping blood faster than normal! This man might really end up killing me with a heart attack if he keeps this up. He wasn’t saying anything so I took that as my cue to slip away because no good could come from being naked in his presence. I was finally out of the puddle but he suddenly held me by my wrist.“Let’s help each other shower”“No!” I shouted instantly, I was against any unwanted attraction and I’m sure as hell the only reason why he was holding back was because of the injury otherwise, I would’ve really been in trouble. Still, I don’t have much time. His wound got so much better overnight, on that note he wasn’t lying, he even removed his IV drip. How audacious!“Why not?” He had nerves to ask after just threatening me with a dark promise. The reason was quite clear in my opinion.“Because I’m perfectly fine. Als
Becoming The Mafia’s Surrogate Chapter 95: Body Heat
Rosella’s POV I came into the room soaked from the rain, it was only a small distance I ran but the rain was so heavy that I got drenched in a matter of seconds.But when I entered the room, all thoughts of myself that clouded my mind ceased. The food tray I dropped on the shelf remained the same. It wasn’t even touched and the heavy wind from the window blew the curtains like it was going to cut from the rails any minute. Yet, my attention was on Donovan who was shivering so much. I didn’t know what else to do but call his name and run over to his side. “Donovan!” I nudged him and he responded to my call but his body vibrated more and that was due to my cold wet hands. “Sorry” I retracted my hands “I’ll go see if Alice is around to check on you” I stood to leave but he caught my wrist. “Don’t go” It was just like when he was asleep but this time he was awake, even though the illness caused his eyes to be barely open, I knew he was awake.“I’ll be back, let me just find he
Becoming The Mafia’s Surrogate Chapter 94: My Home
Rosella followed behind Odessa and was led to an outdoor balcony. Today was a sunny day so she wore a sundress and had a light scalp over her neck. Its blue color highlighted and ocean eyes and made her look refreshing in the midst of the swirling breeze while Odessa on the other hand, was on her usual heavy makeup with a red lipstick that stood out any day. If you were looking for the perfect woman to describe an aristocrat who doesn’t hold back in blinding everyone with her elaborate fashion sense. That position would already be taken by Odessa!And if no one told you, you definitely wouldn’t guess that she was in the medical field because she had a wild feel that made her perfect for the entertainment world yet, she was trapped in an office with a lab coat hanging from the coat holder. “You asked to speak with me” Rose was the first to break the ice, watching her sip a glass of juice and stare at the sky wasn’t really what she expected when she followed her all the way here, p
Becoming The Mafia’s Surrogate Chapter 93: Lingering lips
Rosella’s POV What in the world is wrong with this man? I didn’t reply and increased the pace of my cleaning, the faster I’m down with this the better for us all because he kept staring at me like I was a feast for his eyes. It’s a good thing he’s currently injured otherwise… I’d rather not think that because I’m still freaking sour from last time!I cleared my throat nervously for letting my mind wander and I carried on my act diligently but that’s not to say someone had the decency to curb his behavior and stop staring at me like that. “I’m done” I announced and that’s when he finally took a look at my hard work. He had the nerve to look skeptical about my cleanup.“I think you missed a spot” He said pointing to his lower abdomen like a four-year-old. For odd reasons, I found his behavior funny but I quickly regained my composure.“How would you know if I missed a spot when you had your eyes someplace else the entire time” I argued but he was just as thick-skinned as ever, ne
Becoming The Mafia’s Surrogate Chapter 92: Locked doors
Rosella’s POV Donovan holding my hand in his sleep and telling me to stay was definitely not the outcome I expected. I couldn’t even leave if I wanted to because his grip on my wrist was made of iron so I lay there and miraculously he calmed down.His brows relaxed and his breathing stabilized. An intrusive thought tugged my heart but I brushed it off. Why on earth would he be dreaming of me and it looked pretty serious like he was scared I’d leave. I shook the thought off my head and slept and thankfully when my eyes opened it was morning. The bright sunny weather reflected from the huge curtains and sliced through to meet my cradled figure. I felt extremely comfortable clinging to my pillow and I didn’t want to wake up. I hugged it tighter but it suddenly made a sound that scared the living daylight out of me!“Ah!” I shot open my eyes and raised my head only to be staring Donovan straight in the face and my supposed pillow was nowhere in sight. I met his relaxed gaze and fel
