Third-Person POV
Action
Most kids want toys, candy, or a new puppy. Pearl Reed wants a dad. And not just any dad—she wants Detective Alex Ramos. Ava Reed is perfectly happy as a single mother. By day, she’s a world-class surgeon, running the most prestigious private hospital in the city. By night, she’s The Godmother, ruling one of the most dangerous mafia syndicates in the country. Saving lives on one end. Taking them on the other. Romance? Not on her agenda. But when her too-clever-for-her-own-good daughter pulls off the matchmaking stunt of the century, Ava finds herself sitting across from a man who is as charming as he is infuriating. Alex never saw it coming. One second, he was working a case. The next? He was being blackmailed by an eight-year-old into dating her mother. One fake date? Fine. One viral post announcing their engagement? Not fine. Being summoned for dinner by an eight-year-old with a five-step plan to make him fall in love with her mom? …Yeah, he’s in trouble. Ava has no interest in love. Alex has no interest in marriage. But Pearl? Pearl has other plans. And when Pearl sets her mind on something, not even a mafia war can stop her.

I Found My Mafia Mom, A Cop Husband 010. Proposal Dinner...
AVA’S POV“Ready to start the night?” he asked, flashing that too-easy smile of his.I gave him a slow blink and lifted my wine glass. “You’re late.”“Traffic,” he said smoothly. “You’d be amazed how many people think rush hour’s over by eight.”I hummed. “How tragic.”The waiter approached with a bottle of red. I nodded absently, barely listening to what he said after that. My arm throbbed beneath the sleeve of my dress, right where the bullet had grazed it. I shifted slightly, trying not to wince as I leaned forward. Alex didn’t seem to notice. Good.The wine helped. A little.The waiter returned to take our order. I went with something small—nothing too messy, nothing too heavy. I didn’t trust my hurried stitches to hold through a full course, not with the pulsing burn along my side.Still, I forced myself to sit straight, mask perfect.Dinner began with awkward silence, followed by the safe topics.“So,” he said as the first course arrived, “it’s kind of cooler than it usually is

NOTE: Please accept my quick apology, but this chapter will include a few POV changes to better show the different narratives, so please bear with me.—ALEX’S POVMy phone buzzed on the dashboard.Pearl: Are you back from work? You should be getting ready for your date with my mom.I smirked. “Date,” I muttered to no one. It had been an unexpected request, but Ava had reached out to me if we could have dinner, and well… I didn’t say no. My hands tightened on the steering wheel as I took the next turn. “God, if only she knew.”Another buzz.Pearl: Don’t make her wait. I like you and want you as my new dad, so… don’t ruin this.Alex: I will try my best…I didn’t add the rest: to crash this deal and return just in time for the dinner date.I tossed the phone into the passenger seat and pulled onto the overpass, slowing as my contact’s text came through.Rico: Warehouse 12, dockside. Twenty minutes. The La Rosa shipment is moving. Word is that the Godmother herself is coming in.I leane

AVA’S POV“Confirm your engagement.”I blinked. “To who?”My mom’s lips curled up as she replied. “Detective Ramos.”I stared at her. “That’s— Are you serious?”“As cancer.”“You want me to fake a relationship. Publicly. And not to anyone, but to a detective.”“Why fake it?” she shrugged. “The man is attractive. And you’re clearly… interested.”“Interested in finding out if he’s a risk to my daughter, yes.”“Isn’t that what all relationships are?” she mused. “Risk assessments in pretty packaging?”I got to my feet. “This is insane.”“No, darling. They are. The board. The donors. The gossip hounds. They’re insane if they think they can back you into a corner. You’ve always been at your best when they underestimate you.”I paced, dragging a hand through my hair. “Even if I wanted to pull something like that—which I don’t—I barely know the man. We’ve spoken twice. This isn’t a game.”“And yet the world’s already playing it,” she said. “You’re trending. They’ve already written the love st

AVA'S POVI stared at the screen in front of me, half-empty coffee cooling on the corner of my desk. The hospital had long since quieted for the night, but my mind was still wide awake.Alexander Ramos.His name sat at the top of the search bar. I’d already run it through everything I had access to—legal databases, police logs, credential checks. Commendations. Internal Affairs. Community awards. Every single report came back clean.Too clean.I typed in a few case numbers, the ones I remembered catching news coverage over the last few years: high-risk operations, missing persons, and a trafficking sting that fizzled out. I traced the details again, one after the other. Alex’s name was there—lead detective, sometimes attached as a negotiator. And every single time, the outcome was the same.No arrests. No reports. Just… silence.I sat back in my chair, arms crossed. No family listed. No next of kin. Even that felt suspicious.A few union reps were on record backing him. A couple of p

“Do you want me to get rid of him, boss?”Ava was lost in her thoughts when a deep, familiar voice broke through. She turned to see Rafael Torres standing there, his dark suit making him look even more imposing in the dim light of the dining room. He filled the doorway with his broad shoulders, and his expression was as neutral as always. The scar on his jaw reminded everyone of the trouble that came with crossing him.Ava sighed, pressing her fingers to her temple. "Rafael, no. I don’t need you ‘getting rid’ of anyone."Rafael stepped closer, his boots clicking softly against the wooden floor. He stopped just a few feet away, crossing his arms. "I don’t like him. He’s a cop. A detective.""You don’t like anyone," Ava replied dryly, moving to pour herself another glass of wine.Rafael didn’t smile. He never did. "This one’s different."Ava sipped her wine, turning to face him fully. "Alex Ramos isn’t a threat. He’s nosy, sure, but Pearl likes him, and he hasn’t crossed any lines. Yet

Dinner began cordially.For all of ten minutes.The table was set with the finest china, the wine was aged to perfection, and the food was exquisite—Ava had to admit that, if nothing else, her mother knew how to host a dinner that screamed high society.But as soon as Eleanor Reed put her wine glass down and looked directly at Alex, the real conversation began.“So, Mr. Ramos,” Eleanor said calmly, placing her hands on the table. “What are your plans for my daughter?”Ava nearly choked on her wine. Oh, for the love of—Alex, on the other hand, merely smirked as if he’d been expecting the question. "Would it reflect badly on me if I said I don’t know and I’m still figuring that out?"Ava scoffed before her mother could respond. "He has no intentions.""He does.” Pearl beamed. “He just doesn’t know it yet."Ava shot her daughter a warning look. "Pearl."Pearl let out a dramatic sigh but then picked up her fork and took a bite of mashed potatoes—only to perk up a second later. "But Gran

Ava gripped the steering wheel, exhaling sharply. The car ride home had been quiet for the first five minutes, but she could feel Pearl glancing at her every few seconds.Finally, Pearl spoke. "So… what do you think about Mr. Ramos?"Ava didn’t take her eyes off the road. "I think you need to stop meddling in my life."Pearl huffed. "I had to. You weren’t doing anything about it."Ava shot her a look. "Because I don’t want to do anything about it.""But you should." Pearl leaned forward in her seat with a serious expression. "Mom, don’t you ever get lonely?"Ava’s fingers tightened around the wheel. "I have you. That’s all I need."Pearl sighed dramatically. "But I want you to be happy, too. And I think Mr. Alex is perfect."“Switching to first names already?” Ava rolled her eyes. "You barely know him, Pearl.""I know enough," Pearl said smugly. "I know he’s brave and smart, and he didn’t run away screaming when I asked him to be my dad."Ava pressed her lips together. "Yet."Pearl gi

Ava Reed’s Apartment – MidnightAva opened the front door and sighed as she took off her heels. She felt tired from the night, but she didn’t stop. She headed straight for Pearl’s room.The door was slightly ajar. As she stepped inside, her gaze softened.Pearl was curled up in bed, her dark curls sprawled across the pillow, her small hands tucked under her cheek. Peaceful. Innocent. Completely unaware that she had single-handedly turned her mother’s world upside down yet again.Ava clenched her jaw and let out a slow breath.This wasn’t the first time Pearl had asked for a dad.It wasn’t even the tenth.Pearl had been asking for a father for years. Always watching other kids with their dads, always sneaking hopeful glances at couples in restaurants.But this was the first time Pearl had taken matters into her own hands.Ava had given her everything—a life of luxury, safety, the best education. But she couldn’t give her that.She let out a slow breath and leaned against the doorframe.

"Everyone in position, Rafael?""Yes, Godmother."Ava Reed adjusted her black gloves as the dim city lights cast sharp shadows on her face. Dressed in all black with her long coat fluttering in the cool night air, she looked like a spy, an assassin, or even a ghost. Her dark-tinted glasses shielded her bright green eyes, but her cold, stiff posture left no doubt about who she was.She was The Godmother.From her vantage point on the rooftop of an adjacent building, she gazed down at the brightly lit minister’s office. The luxury suite on the top floor screamed power and wealth—evidence of the corruption she had come to cleanse.She flexed her fingers inside her gloves. Time to begin.With a single nod, she signaled Rafael. Within seconds, the plan was in motion.Ava watched as her men slipped inside the building. The security cameras blinked out and went offline. The power inside the minister’s suite was cut off remotely, forcing his guards to switch to backup generators. By the tim

001. Arranged Date With... An Eight-Year-Old?
The soft light from chandeliers lit up the restaurant, creating a cozy and elegant atmosphere. People chatted quietly as silverware clinked on fine china, soft jazz played in the background, and the delicious smells of grilled steak and aged wine filled the air around tables covered in clean white tablecloths.Alex Ramos adjusted his badge and checked his watch. Again.Across from him, his partner Jenna took another leisurely sip of her wine, clearly entertained by his impatience."Well, your matchmaking effort was a total waste today," Alex muttered, shooting her a look of mild irritation. "She isn’t here, so I should probably take my leave."Jenna rolled her eyes. "You’re impossible, you know that? Maybe she just got caught up in traffic.""Or maybe she wasn’t interested in a blind date with a detective.""Or maybe you should stop acting like this is a murder investigation and relax," Jenna countered. "God, no wonder you’re single."Alex exhaled through his nose, already regretting...
