Mafia’s Property. Hundred & Forty: Examination.
Natalia's POV: Little whimpering sounds…The first sound that greeted my ears as I slowly began to regain consciousness. I felt weak and light headed. It felt like I needed two months’ worth of sleep…What happened to me? Oh, right. I remember. I went to the ballroom for the wedding preparations, I talked with Ava and Angela and I passed out–“Why did you bring the kid with you? You'll only freak her out!”“She already saw it happen, why take her away?!” “But she's crying now!” “Aless—”“Stop it, you two!” That was Caterina, definitely her. I said internally. I tried to open my eyes or say a word but I was too weak to do so and in the process, a soft groan escaped me.“She's waking up!” I think that was Angela. “Ava, see? She's waking up, she will be alright!”“Please move so I can examine her.” They called Doctor Camilla? Wasn't that a bit dramatic? Everyone faints at some point in their lives, right? Especially when you've barely had food in days and are always crying.I felt

Natalia's POV: I don't know if it was from fear or embarrassment, but my heart dropped to my stomach so hard it almost felt like I could throw up in a few seconds from now.“Why… why are you asking me that?” I refused to look at Carlo. Just no! But from the corner of my eyes, he looked just as shocked as I felt. Okay, I need to disappear from here somehow! “Please answer the question, Natalia,” She urged softly and I panicked. I fucking panicked because I couldn't remember. I… I wasn't keeping count and with everything going on.. I….I dropped my face into my palm. “I'm so fucked. I'm fucked!” It wasn't what I was thinking right? People do forget these kinds of things and also, it is normal to have late periods. I have been stressed, barely ate anything—that could mess with your hormones, I've heard that before!“What's going on?” Carlo asked carefully, putting an end to my spiralling thoughts and I felt my back stiffen. “Nothing serious, I just need to rule out every possibility

Carlo's POV: Patiently waiting outside the door was driving me nuts. It felt like a century. I was sure the maids and guards passing by were wondering why I kept pacing outside of Natalia's room like an anxious thief. And anxious I was, alright? Could she possibly be pregnant? Like carrying my child? I felt my heart jump and my insides grow warm at that thought. A baby… What could this mean for us? For me? ‘No need to get ahead or yourself, Carlo. It could be nothing or just fatigue like Camilla said.’ Cazzo. The not knowing was killing me. How much longer do I have to wait? This might make Natalia pissed, but I was done waiting, I was too anxious to stay still. Decision made, I strolled over to the door and pushed it open. Two pair of eyes stared back at me as I clicked the door shut behind me. I could feel a pit opening in my stomach as I stepped closer to them. When Natalia looked away, I felt my chest squeezing tightly. I shouldn't have come in. “I-I …

Carlo's POV: ‘You will no longer be marrying Natalia.’ My voice was deep and firm as I passed my message. Luca's eyes stayed trained on mine, brows drawn together as if he was replaying my words in his head so he could understand.And he should.Because I meant every word I said.Silence stretched for a few seconds before he broke it, muttering, “You're joking.” “I'm not,” Came my firm reply.And then he burst into a hysterical laughter, head thrown back, mouth wide open, shoulders trembling. I remained unfazed and calm, watching him laugh. ‘Let him have his moment.’ I thought.Eventually, his laughter died out and his eyes were back on me—blazing with fury as he struggled against his restraint. “That's bullshit!” He snarled, trying to break free from the chains. “You gave me your word. You said I could marry her, hell our wedding is in a few hours. You never go back on your word!” I know, but this was important. “Well, unfortunately. I am going back on my word now, Luca. I've ch

Natalia's POV: A life was forming inside me… I still can't believe this.“You're going to make yourself sick crying like that,” Doctor Camilla said softly as she patted my back soothingly but I didn't say a word back.What was the point? She wouldn't get it. No one would. I kept my face buried in my soft, fluffy pillow, letting my tears seep into it as I struggled for air.So this was my life now? Pregnant for the father and getting married to the son? Imagine being in such a fuck up situation? Imagine being knocked up by a man who doesn't love you, a man like Carlo who's just….It was my fault. All of it. Why didn't I ever insist on condoms? Why didn't I place myself on birth control? Why? Why? WHY?!!!!! Well, it was too fucking late for questions. I thought as more hot tears flowed from my eyes and onto my pillow… I'd made my bed and I had to lie on it… I didn't want to get rid of the baby, no. Never. But what in God's name do I know about motherhood? How do I care for a

Carlo's POV: I lifted my fist to knock again but just like the last four attempts, I let my hand fall to my side, while my heart thumped at an unnatural pace.“I can't believe I lived long enough to see you nervous,” Enzo mocked and I pinned him with a deathly glare. Of course, he didn't flinch. “Just knock and ask to see her, how hard could it be?” Was he fucking for real?He wasn't here when she'd been so angry, it was almost like I could see hatred in her eyes. It caused a dull ache in my chest for reasons I couldn't fully explain.“Should I do the knocking?” He teased further.“Shut up, Enzo,” I gritted. And then I turned back to the door, lifting my hand again to knock with much determination this time. But just as my knuckles were about to rap on the door, it swung open and my breath caught in my throat.“Camilla,” I muttered, stepping back.Her surprised expression morphed into an amused one as she stepped out of the room, closing the door behind her. When she opened her mou

Natalia's POV:‘I want to stay here with you.’My stomach tightened.‘Do not read meaning into it, Natalia. Do not.’ “You don't have to.” I tried again, hoping he'd really go away even though it was the last thing I wanted but I didn't want to be desperate. I was still so mad at him.Thick, warm fingers brushed a stray strand away from my face and my belly flipped. No, not this!We're supposed to stay mad at him, remember?! “I want to spend some time with you,” he admitted. The sincerity in his voice was crippling, I was forced to shut my eyes and take a deep breath. “Matter of fact,” he continued. “I do not mind staying the whole day locked up in here with you.”Fuckinghell!What was he up to now? First he was more than willing to send me away and now?The baby.Of course it was the baby.It had nothing to do with me. At that moment, I felt my chest tighten with anger and I slapped his hand away from my hair.“Go away!” I meant to yell, but I only sounded like a petulant child a

Natalia's POV: I'd always known Carlo was stubborn but not THIS stubborn. Even after I'd told him off, he remained by my side. Not that he was speaking while moving, he was just ‘watching me.’ I didn't hate it though, not one bit, I reveled it but of course I had to keep a scowl on my face the whole time…I won't be going back on my word though, he'd hurt me. He can't just slip back into my life like nothing happened.At some point. I broke the silence and asked him to go away but all he said was, “Please.” And I kind of felt like shit. For a brief second actually.It had taken the arrival of Caterina, Angela and Ava to get him out of my room and even then he was hesitant.Cute. He crouched down in front of Ava and whispered something to her that made her giggle and I frowned. When did those two become friends? When she placed a kiss on his cheek my eyes grew to the size of saucers.Okay, I had lots of questions.He rose to his full height, ruffling her hair and with one last glanc

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED & EIGHTY-NINE: Natalia's POV: My eyes fluttered open and the first thing I noticed was the big hand resting on my waist and I stiffened.Carlo?Carefully and slowly, I turned around coming face to face with a sleeping Carlo. Like this, he looked so peaceful and even more gorgeous. So he came back to bed, cuddling with me. I thought. I could stay like this for hours—days—and not move, I love being in his arms like this, I love being this close to him. For the next ten minutes or so, I lay quietly, until his eyelashes fluttered open revealing those gorgeous eyes to me.“You're awake,” he mumbled in a deep, throaty voice and I smiled.“Yes,” I whispered. “I was watching you sleep,” I said before I could stop myself, almost like my mouth had no filter.He smiled. “You enjoy watching me sleep?” Maybe more than I'd like to admit. “I don't know,” I lied, avoiding his eyes. “I'm thirsty, could you move your arm?” “Don't stress yourself, I'll get water for you,” he i

I couldn't stand being close to him like this out of guilt but I couldn't leave his side either. Of course, being the man he was, he didn't blame me, in fact, he was relieved I had gotten home safe. Can you believe it?I was the reason he almost died and he was worried about me?‘Tell him what happened and watch if he'd still care about you,’ A voice mocked in my head and I shut my eyes tightly to make it go away.Every day was an internal battle with my head and heart. Do I tell him or not? I know if I didn't there would be no way of him knowing since none of the people who already knew were going to spill it anyways.But it was eating me up inside. No one knew how I kept reliving that day every time I shut my eyes, no one knew how I kept looking behind me. How could they tell I could still feel those bastards moving in and out of my mouth?They

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED & NINETY-ONE: Carlo's POV: My knees buckled. I can count on a single hand the number of times I've felt this way. Helpless, frightened, powerless.“Don't you dare lay a finger on her!” I barked, my voice trembling. “I can't promise that, Carlo,” the bastard drawled. “Your cooperation determines how this goes. If you do as I say, she gets to walk free, unharmed.” “What do you want?” I gritted, grabbing my phone so hard it was a surprise it didn't Crack. “Name your price.”“You, Carlo?” I could hear the smile in his voice. “You're the prize.” This fucking bastard. “Fine!” From the corner of my eyes, I could see Enzo shaking his head, saying no but my mind was made up. “You will come to the location I've just sent you,” he ordered. “Come alone, Carlo. I don't need any of your minions, just you. You in exchange for your whore.” I didn't wait for any more babbling from me, I hung up, checking the location he sent as Enzo walked up to me.“You can't go there alo

Mafia’s Property. Hundred & Eighty-Eight:
Carlo's POV: I don't know what I'm feeling, but I can't say I didn't understand it either. I do and that's what terrifies me. I might be overreacting, freaking out because I was slowly realizing that things have completely changed for me, that my normal was now a completely different thing. And I see it now, what Camilla had been trying to tell me, Enzo too. But how could this have happened? When did the lines get blurred? How did I get here? It's just been months, how didn't I see this coming?“Don?” My head snapped up at Enzo's voice. How hadn't I heard him come in? “Enzo,” I muttered, watching as he closed the door behind him and walked in. “You're up late.” He pulled out the chair from across me and lowered onto it. “Yes, I had to round up some things,” he laced his fingers. “I noticed you walking aimlessly in the garden before coming here. Are you okay?” I should tell him, shouldn't I?He understood me better and was my most trusted man.I heaved a sigh rubbing a finger o
Mafia’s Property. Hundred & Eighty-Seven: Complicated.
Natalia's POV: “Are you asleep?” Carlo asked, his fingers toying with my hair was already taking me there…“No.” We lay together on his bed, after a good round of sex, we'd showered together and now, I had my head on his chest and his arms wrapped around me.A beat passed. “How do you feel about going to university?” Huh?!I jerked up to look at him. “I don't understand.” He smiled, and pulled me back down to his chest. “I don't know, I just thought you might want that. Maybe after you've had the baby or maybe you can start now,” he shrugged. “I heard even pregnant women attend university these days. Anyone you're comfortable with is fine.” Wait…. Am I dreaming?“You're for real?” I asked carefully.“When have I ever joked about something so serious, monella?” He planted a kiss on my hair. “I'm serious about this, you can attend university if you want. I don't know if I'm wrong, but it was your dream, yes? To go to school. I do not want to take that away from you…” he trailed off
Mafia’s Property. Hundred & Eighty-Six: Adorably amusing :)
Natalia's POV: I'm easy and cheap. I thought to myself as I melted against his bare chest. His arms came around me, holding me so close as if he was trying to merge us together and for a moment, we just stood like that. And then one hand came up to my hair, stroking it gently.“You confuse me,” he murmured. “I do not know what to do with you, how to deal with..” He trailed off and I was tempted to ask him to continue but I didn't want to ruin the moment.“I didn't mean to ignore you,” he continued. “And you're right, I should've communicated better. I guess I didn't think it was important… I …I.. I've never done this…”This? What did he mean by that? “I'll do better, monella,” He whispered softly. “I'm sorry.” He didn't have to keep saying sorry because I'd forgiven him the moment he held me back. You see? Easy and cheap. But then, he was apologizing wasn't he? Didn't that mean I was a little bit important to him?‘Because of the baby!’ A little voice in my head snapped and I
