Becoming The Mafia’s Surrogate Chapter 56: His property
Rosella’s POV “Mr. Donovan please take it as a belated gift and a present for Mr. Dalgliesh. Don’t get me wrong, my package is very special to both of you”I watched in the sidelines as she spoke ever so eloquently and no one opposed or denied her the chance to display her so-called special package.Anyone with a kin eye could detect the tense air floating around these four persons. Marcus stood closer to his mother protectively. What a filial child! So he knows how to be reasonable!Donovan had me close to his side as thorn is to a rose and Mr. Dalgliesh was fairly in the middle of this arrangement. We watched the attendant bring the gift over and Mr. Dalgliesh did the honor of unraveling it.For a second my gaze darted toward Marcus and I instantly regretted it! I only wanted to steal a glance at the mother and son duo but I didn’t expect to catch a set of resilient eyes that were glaring at me. My gaze faltered and I broke eye contact. I should be the one pissed at him, w

Mirable’s POVSo far the party has been going smoothly, I’ve taken the necessary actions to note down the reasonable potential companies that show interest in a partnership. I headed for the drink section to get a mocktail, looking back it’s a good thing I never ventured into drinking alcohol. Just one time and I’m still not done cleaning up my mess. That Mitch of a man is a handful!“What are you thinking of?”I jumped in fright, even spilling a generous portion of my drink. Has he ever heard to personal space?! I wonder. How ever did he know I was thinking of him? I turned to face him, his voice was already etched in my memories thanks to the outrageous things he said in the hospital. “So what do you say about my offer?” Oh, I felt a headache coming. These spoilt children of aristocrats don’t know when to draw the line between frivolous offers and downright nonsense! “I already gave you my answer Mr. Mitch” I adjusted my specs and walked right passed him but he was like

Rosella’s POV Jake’s tolerance was growing slimmer and that’s exactly what I wanted. Anytime we turned I would shoot Donovan a distressed expression and then quickly fix my face once we spun again. I did this for the bulk of the dance and by accident my gaze landed on Marcus who was staring at me with an expression that could see through my lies.He obviously watched me long enough to deduce my plans but I didn’t care. He wasn’t part of my scheme, I only hope he doesn’t try butting in! “My patience is running out, Rose” Jake lowly stated in a threat, and needless to say I was the least blessed with patience.But the process of riling Donovan couldn’t be rushed, when it’s ready it’ll come as sudden as a tidal wave on a summer sea. Tick-Tock!It was finally time to switch back partners. Everything was at its peak now, even Jake couldn’t hold back anymore and pressed his fingers into my shoulder. A move that was much needed! “Fine, I’ll tell you…Lean closer” I urgedEvery other

Rosella’s POV The fear I thought I felt earlier was nowhere near the kind I was experiencing now.The crippling feeling enveloped me and it seemed almost suffocating to breathe. I watched the two hefty men who pulled the man over, stand stiffly beside him, it was like they were robots awaiting Donovan’s orders and he was more than ready to exert dominance!“Take off the wrap”Immediately the black cloth over the man’s face was removed and tossed aside revealing his bruised cheeks and swollen eyes. My fingers subconsciously rose to my lips in bafflement. How long has it been since Jake had him take my pictures, yet in so little time the man was beaten to a pulp with a face that was barely recognizable?“Point your gun to his head” His second command forced my head to stare at him. Was this man trying to kill me of a heart attack?“Wait, don’t kill him” I said this with great difficulty. I can’t believe we’re debating about someone’s life! A man who was just some steps away fro
Last Updated : 2024-10-31Becoming The Mafia’s Surrogate Chapter 60: Sister-in-law
Rosella’s POV Like every other boring day I had breakfast alone and scrolled through my phone. I’ve been so distracted lately that I only just had the time to read through the group messages. Apparently, my high schoolmates are planning a reunion. “What is this?” I was tagged a number of times. My eyes widened at the sight before me. Why was I put in charge of the venue when I had no idea there was going to be a reunion?!Of course, no one could contact me because they didn’t have my contact details. The only person who would’ve been able to reach me was now sitting in my father’s company!I read the text and I immediately understood why they put me in charge of the venue![“We all voted to use Cambridge Lounge so let’s put Rose in charge of booking the venue”][“Yes, that’s a good idea, since she’s close with Mr. Donovan, she should be able to get us that place”][“I agree”]One by one they all agreed without my consent! It’s funny that they assumed I would be interested i
Last Updated : 2024-10-31Becoming The Mafia’s Surrogate Chapter 61: Wrong answer
Rosella’s POV My vision was still black but I seem to be awake and my eyes were opened.For a crazy second I thought I had gone blind until I realized something far much worse was happening.I have been abducted! And I’m certain my head was covered with a black cloth.Oh, where have I see this before?!Donovan that psychopath! I was seething with rage and that seemed to set off the signal that I was awake. Their voices sounded muffled but I could make out the command to remove the cloth from my face. The footsteps approached me and with one swift move the cloth was dragged away and the shinning bulb above forced light into my eyes.‘Curses!’I squinted my eyes in pain and lowered my head. I was ready to give Donovan a piece of my mind but when I slowly lifted my face I was petrified. This… who are these men that abducted me?“Such a pretty face, Boss” The one closest to me which I suspect was the one who removed the black cloth said. He licked his lips lavishly but I was more

Rosella’s POV I was being carried away and I kept slipping in and out of mind. My head was dangling over his shoulder and after that I didn’t know what happened.The next thing I felt was a rain of cold water touching my hair and running all the way down to my feet.My eyes peeled open and I gasped for air. The first thing that came to view was Donovan’s figure, it took me a minute to realize my surroundings. He held me in his arms and regulated the water temperature, it was still freaking cold!Was this man tryna freeze me to death!Soon my body was shivering from the cold intrusion and as my head rested on his chest I became aware that his body was the remedy to my current madness.It was almost like every other element of the world was too severe.The air was too sharp, the water was too cold. My body felt too hot but his skin was the balance I was desperately searching for.I wanted more of it, I was like a traveler stuck in a desert and finally stumbled upon a lake. All

Rosella’s POV“You…!” I pointed my finger at him with my other hand supporting my head. “Do you have no shame? How can you do that to someone who was drugged?!”My breathing was chaotic and I was trembling from uncontainable fury! Just how low is this man going to get?! Or am I the problem? Did I offend someone deeply in my past life and I am not paying dearly for it?“Why aren’t you saying anything? Have you suddenly developed a sense of self-worth?! How could you take advantage of my intoxication?!!”I was fuming mad, I knew it wasn’t entirely his fault but I’d deal with myself later. Right now, I needed to express my utmost bitterness and disgust! It greatly irked me to see him seated with a calm expression while my face had turned ashen from rage. “In that case should I have left you to die?” He asked with his huge hands folded across his chest while still partially covered by the duvet. My head was throbbing. I reached for a nightrobe and clothed myself. At the very least

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
