Becoming The Mafia’s Surrogate Chapter 68: You owe me
Rosella’s POV Talk about the worst timing!Donovan’s figure came into view in all his glory and I swallowed the rest of my words. The earlier lively room became gloomy, if Donovan isn’t the seed of discord, I don’t know what is!Even the delivery man stood on edge, poor guy just wanted to do his job but he was having a hard time ignoring Franklin’s death stares. I stayed silent and acted like a series of questions wasn’t thrown at me a while ago. Mirable immediately made a bow and exited the room and Franklin followed behind.To be honest, I was more interested in the discussion soon to happen between Mirable and Franklin than anything Donovan had to say!Sadly, I was left alone with Donovan. “Why did you send a bouquet if you were going to show up anyway?” “It’s the finishing touch” He replied and I stared in confusion. If he was referring to his presence being the icing on the cake then I would gladly add narcissism to his list. “I heard you’re getting discharge, how

Rosella’s POV Is my life not comical enough? Why does the universe keep toying with me?!“I can’t do that, for the love of God I don’t even plan to attend the reunion! What they do is none of my business, I honestly couldn’t care less!”My outburst caused his gaze to narrow. Right, I was too agitated about it, of course he’d find my reaction suspicious.“… The thing is, I don’t care about such events, to me it’s pointless, we all have our lives to live so there’s no point to a reunion” “Is that really all there is?” His response was still filled with scrutiny and I immediately answered.“Yes”“I don’t believe you”My expression cracked, why ask if you’re not going to take my word for it?!My lips drew a thin line and I remained silent. “Of course, I can’t force a kiss from you. You still owe me”He finally straightened his posture and released my shoulders, a sigh I didn’t know I was holding leaked from my lips.I wasn’t completely out of the ditch but at least I have es

Rosella’s POV “One more thing” I stopped their strides and they stared back at me with impatience.“I’ll only speak with your boss”I knew for a fact the arrogant ringleader wasn’t the mastermind behind this and just as I thought he swayed his body in his usual manner and clicked open a burner phone.“Why don’t you relay whatever message you want now?”He really was calling his boss! And I tried to keep up my confident demeanor while my inside trembled with uncertainty. “Hello” My breath hitched in fear but as the voice over the phone continued speaking a new emotion clouded my heart and as if the thug was reading my mind, he suddenly said.“Simon August, that’s the name of our boss. He owns a certified loan company, so we’re backed by the law”He thought he was being smug but my expression of shock was from something else. It’s no wonder the voice sounded familiar. Simon August, the same Simon I have a bone to pick with! The rep of my class in high school and the guy who used

Rosella’s eyes stayed glued to her phone. She wondered why he sent a text but she forgot it was her doing. She left her phone on do-not-disturb mode, it was the rule in Bright Valley now, since they started allowing them to use their phone during shifts. “Rose” Felix called out and stole her attention. It was like she never got the text, she focused on him and said teasingly. “Shouldn’t you call me ‘miss’? I’m older than you, aren’t I?”His face rapidly turned red from embarrassment. “I’m not that young…” he mumbled. “I heard you” She snapped “But it’s true, I’m eighteen, and you’re… nineteen?” He raised a brow in questioning but Rose was enraged beyond reasoning.“Nineteen my foot! Hey! You should call me lady, in fact, call me Aunty! I’m twenty-one!… well, in three months’ time, that is. Argh! Whatever!” Her feet stomped against the ground in frustration.She was well aware of her petite figure, many times it has caused similar misconceptions but it sucks every time it happens,

No one saw that coming, not even Rose! The baffling announcement left her at a great loss and even Felix couldn’t help taking a step back in shock.“Donovan, have you lost your mind?!” She roared. The condition of their marriage contract was to keep it a secret from a third party, not even Mr. Dalgliesh was aware of this! Then again, she didn’t refute it since the divorce papers would be signed along with the contract dissolution. But now what?He was parading the information around like a trophy! He didn’t bother to respond and pulled her hand from Felix, immediately exiting the room before Rose could utter another word. One thing was certain, a hell of a chaotic ride awaited.Donovan matched to his parked Koenigsegg Gemera.“Get in!”For some reason, he was in a foul mood but Rose wasn’t interested in finding out why, the display he left behind still haunted her, if anything she should be the one raging with anger, not him!“If you have something to say, say it here. I’m not in

The tension outside the car was weighing on Rose, her palms were all sweaty and her body shook from fear but she kept her eyes up, watching Donovan take majestic steps to the center of the space. Their leader had a wide grin plastered on his face but when Donn spoke, the smile instantly disappeared. “You’re right about one thing, I chose a perfect place where no one can locate and no one could hear screams… that’s because I always clean up flawlessly” His gaze darted between the men and the atmosphere instantly grew to a cutting-edge point. “Cut the crap! - Arghhh!”The rest of the leader’s words got stuck in his throat when Donovan fired a shot to his leg, automatically bringing him to his knees while the rest of the men watched with horror. It was the look of instant regret, just like the saying. ‘Who brings a knife to a gunfight?’From the start, their aim was to capture Rose, so with their numbers they didn’t think it’ll be difficult, especially with the metal bats in thei

Rosella’s POV What happened next? Where am I? My lashes feel too heavy to lift and my neck hurts like crazy.Eventually, I struggled to open my eyes and slowly turned over but my body jerked back in shock. I sometimes forget that I share this bedroom with Donovan, I don’t think I can ever get used to it. He just sat with his back against the bed frame watching me with his fixed eyes and it made me extremely uncomfortable. “I’m the one who took a hit on the head yet you’re the one who fainted. How should I take this?” He questioned with a slightly raised brow. Has he been itching to ask this all the while I was sleeping? He seems so eager! I also didn’t realize I fainted, thinking back at how worked up I was last night, it’s no surprise. Fainting was always a thing that happened easily to me ever since my dad died. “If you want an apology, I can give you” I answered indifferently, he was simply just trying to rile me up and I didn’t have the strength for such a sport. “Why s

Mirable’s POV“Miss Mirable, please sign here”The sight of another delivery man traumatized me. I was really going to lose my mind if this continued. I turned to the side of my desk and saw the stack of different flower bouquets. All delivered this morning!There was no point in guessing, I’m well aware of the not-so-secret conversations going on at the desks next to me. Everyone had so much to say and at first, I didn’t care, but this was really getting out of hand.In the end, I signed the papers, and the bouquet of roses was dropped off. That Mitch of a man has done more than enough!“What are these?”I heard Franklin’s chilling voice from above and immediately locked his gaze. Why was he acting like he doesn’t know all about my struggles with Mitch?“I’ll take care of it” I stated and brought out my phone, I glanced at the numerous missed calls which I purposely ignored and decided to call back. Immediately the call connected. “Hello, I knew you wouldn’t be able to resist”

Becoming The Mafia’s Surrogate Chapter 158: THE END
Six months laterThe air at Dalgliesh mansion buzzed with excitement. Workers bustled around, ensuring every detail was perfect for the evening’s celebration. It was a special day, not only a family dinner but also Mr. Dalgliesh’s birthday. Unlike previous years, he had chosen to keep it intimate, inviting only family.The dining table was set, and the first to arrive were Rosella and Donovan, each pushing a stroller. Inside lay their two-month-old twins: baby Eli and baby Ella. The two cooed happily, oblivious to the world around them.Mr. Dalgliesh, waiting in the hall, ignored the couple entirely and went straight to the strollers. He leaned down, his face lighting up as he reached for Ella and cradled her in his arms.“My sweetie pie, you’re so cute,” he crooned. “Don’t mind your parents for not visiting more often. They act like they’re still on their honeymoon, and they haven’t even had a proper wedding. Humph!”He turned to Donovan and swatted at his arm, mock scolding. “Why is

The air was heavy with tension, and two battles were unfolding simultaneously, each in different corners of the world but tied to the same fateful thread.In the Dalgliesh mansion, Rosella set her teacup down and summoned her courage to confront the man seated before her. Mr. Dalgliesh, with his graceful yet aged demeanor, seemed almost serene as he sipped his tea, the epitome of calm.“Was it true?” she asked, her voice steady but laced with intensity. “Were you the one who orchestrated all of this? Did you put Jake in a position where he had no choice but to offer me up for the surrogate selection?”Mr. Dalgliesh lowered his cup and flashed a faint smile, one that revealed both wisdom and mischief. “Truly, all things hidden under the sun must be revealed,” he said cryptically, his voice rich with age and experience. Then, with a quiet chuckle, he added, “I really thought I’d die with the secret, haha.”Rosella’s breath caught. “Why? Why would you do something like that?”Meanwhile,
Becoming The Mafia’s Surrogate Chapter 156: The truth
Rosella’s POV The next day, I went to the hospital with Donovan by my side. He never left me alone these days, always hovering protectively, and I couldn’t say I disliked it. It made me feel safe, like someone was always there to catch me if I fell.As we reached the ward, I felt a hand grab my arm. Startled, I turned, only for Donovan to react before I could. He moved like lightning, grabbing the man by the collar and slamming him against the wall.“Who the hell do you think you are, touching her like that?” Donovan growled, his tone low and dangerous.The man struggled under Donovan’s grip, his face pale and drawn. My eyes widened as recognition struck me. It was Jake. My ex-fiancé.“Donovan, stop,” I said quickly, placing my hand on his shoulder. “Let him go.”Donovan hesitated, his jaw tight with fury, but my touch seemed to ground him. With a warning glare, he released Jake, though his stance remained tense, ready to act if needed.Jake coughed and straightened his shirt, his ey
Becoming The Mafia’s Surrogate Chapter 155: Eat or you can’t have me
Mirable and Franklin arrived at the hospital to take over watching Mirable’s mother. It was clear from their subtle touches and soft exchanges that they were now a couple. Rosella noticed it too, but she didn’t comment, simply offering Mirable a small smile before allowing Donovan to guide her toward the car.Usually, Rosella would have argued to spend the night by her mother’s side, but the news of the twins had left her too dazed to argue about anything. Meanwhile, Donovan was practically radiating joy, looking like a man who’d just won the biggest lottery in history.The minute they reached home, Donovan didn’t give Rosella a chance to walk. He swept her up into his arms bridal style, ignoring her half-hearted protests.“Donovan, I can walk, you know,” she said, trying not to smile.“Not when you’re carrying our twins,” he replied with a wink.She sighed, shaking her head, but a small smile tugged at her lips.Once inside their room, he gently set her down on the bed. “Stay here,”

Rosella began to push herself up, her hand reaching for the edge of the bed to steady herself. She was intent on leaving to check on her mother, but she failed to notice the pained look on Donovan’s face.“Rosella, please,” Donovan said suddenly, his voice soft but filled with emotion.She froze mid-movement, her attention finally turning to him. That was when she saw it, his strained expression, his eyes full of worry and frustration.“What is it?” she asked, her tone hesitant, almost fearful of the answer.Donovan took a deep breath, his jaw tightening as he tried to keep his emotions in check. “I know you’re worried about your mom. I know it’s hard. But… you can’t keep doing this to yourself,” he said, his voice trembling slightly. “If anything happens to you, Rosella, I… I don’t think I’d be able to go on.”His words hit her like a blow to the chest. For a moment, she couldn’t move or speak, only stare at him. The weight of his feelings, the depth of his fear settled over her like
Becoming The Mafia’s Surrogate Chapter 153: I need her
Another month had passed, and the hospital room had become a second home for Rosella. She sat by her mother’s bedside, wiping her face and hands gently with a soft napkin. The steady beep of the heart monitor was a constant reminder that her mother was alive, but the silence that lingered over the room was deafening.Donovan was in the VIP ward too, never straying far. He leaned casually against the doorframe, his tie loosened and his sleeves rolled up, watching Rosella with a mixture of tenderness and concern.“What do you want to eat today?” he asked, breaking the quiet. “And don’t say you’re not hungry. Pregnant women are supposed to eat a lot, crave weird things, and make their husbands run all over the place to find them.”Rosella smiled faintly, though it didn’t quite reach her eyes. “I’m conserving your funds,” she said lightly, focusing on smoothing the blanket over her mother.Donovan chuckled, walking closer to her. “You don’t have to do that,” he said. “I have enough to fee
Becoming The Mafia’s Surrogate Chapter 152: Her smile
The morning sun poured gently through the windows of Rosella and Donovan’s home, casting warm, golden light across the polished floors. Rosella sat quietly on the sofa in the living room, her hands resting on her growing belly, her eyes distant as they stared at nothing in particular. It had been a month since her mother fell into a coma, and the days since had blurred together in a haze of worry, sleepless nights, and moments of hope that felt too fragile to hold onto.Donovan entered the room, his presence always grounding yet protective, like a storm-ready lighthouse. He approached her cautiously, sensing the heaviness she carried. “You okay?” he asked, his voice low with concern clear.Before she could answer, a knock at the door broke the silence. Donovan stiffened immediately, his sharp instincts flaring to life. “I’ll get it,” he said firmly, striding toward the door with the practiced confidence of someone who’d spent his life prepared for danger.When he opened the door, he
Becoming The Mafia’s Surrogate Chapter 151: A Miracle
The tension in the hospital lingered in the air like an uninvited guest, heavy and suffocating. After the doctor delivered the news that their mother had survived the surgery but was now in a coma, neither Rosella nor Mirable could breathe a sigh of relief. The hope of her waking up was the only thread holding them together, yet it felt too thin, too fragile.Rosella’s knees buckled, her strength waning, but Donovan’s strong arms shot out and caught her before she could collapse completely. His grip on her was firm yet gentle, his eyes filled with concern. “You need to rest,” he murmured softly, but she barely heard him, her mind too occupied with the image of her mother bleeding out in her arms.The room where their mother was moved to was quiet, save for the beeping of machines and the faint rustle of nurses shuffling about. The doctor informed them that they could visit, but before they could take a step, Mirable turned to Rosella and Donovan, her expression conflicted. “Rosella… c
Becoming The Mafia’s Surrogate Chapter 150: Revenge
Blood spattered on the ground, pooling beneath the crumpled body of Rosella's mother. The sound of the gunshot still echoed in Rosella's ears, even as chaos erupted around her. Her body froze, rooted to the ground as the weight of her mother's falling figure pressed against her chest."No-No, no, no!" Rosella cried, catching her mother in her trembling arms. The air seemed to thicken, bullets zipping past her in the ensuing firefight. She didn't flinch.The world blurred, focusing solely on the woman bleeding out in her arms. ‘Why did she throw herself in front of me?’ Rosella’s mind was pinned on this thought. "Mom! Stay with me!" she screamed, shaking her gently. Blood seeped through her mother's dress, staining Rosella's hands and knees. "Please, don't close your eyes, don't do this to me!"Her mother's eyes fluttered open, her irises clouded with pain yet filled with a strange serenity. "Rosella..." Her voice was barely audible, a faint whisper under the chaos.Tears streamed d
