The Mafia Don's Secret Chapter 78~ What The Hell Was That For?
MATEOI was not a restless person.No, I was far from that. Now why on earth have I been feeling uneasy all day?I had myself convinced that it was because of how I acted out of character yesterday but even I knew that was bullshit.The only reason why I felt like this was because I knew that Clara was currently alone with Dominic and I hated that.I hated the close relationship and no matter how hard I tried to ignore it, it kept getting on my nerves. Constantly.As if I had conjured him, Dominic walked into my office with a smug look on his face.“Why are you looking at me like you know something I don’t?” I asked, struggling to keep the frown off my face.“Enough with the act, Mateo. I know you have questions for me and I’m here to answer them so ask anyway,” he replied.“I don’t have any questions for you and I would prefer it if you go back to work,” I told him but he ignored my words and sat down anyway.I sighed. “Since you seem to have so much time on your hands lately.

CLARA“You’ve got to be kidding me, girl. Please say that this is a joke,” Lucaa begged.I shook my head and took a sip of my latte. It was decaf of course.Oh, how I missed caffeine.“I’m not kidding, Lucaa. I don’t think I want to do it,” I replied.“But that’s like the chance you have to receive free gifts. Babies aren’t cheap, you know?”I took another sip of my latte and set it on the table. “I’m well aware of that but I don’t want to take advantage of people’s generosity,” I told her.She sucked back her coffee and glared at me. “You’re not taking advantage if they really want to do it for you.”I shrugged. “Still, it still doesn’t feel right.”Lucaa sighed. “What the hell am I going to do with you?”“You have no choice but to love me forever,” I replied.“This is not the time for jokes, Clara. I’m dead serious. You need to have a baby shower.”“This is not why I asked to meet you, Lucaa. Mateo’s mom asked me about it and I want you to help me come up with an excuse so that she

CLARAIt was late afternoon before Lucaa and I said goodbye to each other at the coffee shop when I returned to the house.I was greeted by Christopher at the door.“Hi, Christopher,” I greeted.“Hello, Ms. Clara. You were gone before I had breakfast ready,” he said.I smiled at him and said, “I apologize. I had to meet with my friend at our spot.”“The coffee shop?” he inquired and I nodded. “I hope you at least got something to eat,” he added.“Yeah, I ordered a muffin with my coffee at the cafe,” I replied.Christopher shook his head. “No, that won’t do. You need more than a single muffin and I’ve got just the right thing for you.”He grabbed my hand and dragged me towards the kitchen.“Sit,” he ordered, pointing to the high stool by the kitchen island.I took a seat and asked, “Don’t you think it’s too late for breakfast?”“I know, that’s why I’m going to serve you lunch,” he replied. “You have more than just yourself to think about so you need to eat well.”“But I am eating well

CLARA"Are you sure about selling your eggs?" the doctor asked as I sat in his cramped office. His voice was calm, almost too calm, as if this was just another routine day for him.I glanced at the stack of paperwork in front of me. My hands were trembling as I grabbed the pen. I didn’t want to be here. This wasn’t what I wanted for myself.But my phone buzzed again in my pocket, and I knew exactly what the message said without even looking."If you do not pay within three days, your aunt’s operation will be canceled."Three days. That was all the time I had. And I barely had enough money for food, let alone the operation fees.I sighed heavily and shoved the phone back into my pocket. Aunt Maggie’s medical bills were piling up, and the hospital wasn’t going to wait for me to figure things out.“No,” I admitted quietly, “I’m not sure about this.”The doctor’s face softened. “You don’t have to go through with it. There’s still time to back out.”Lucaa, sitting next to me, leaned forwar

Chapter 02~ A Tough DecisionCLARAI sat in the bathroom, staring at the pregnancy test in my hand. Positive.I still couldn’t wrap my head around it. How could this have happened? I hadn’t… I couldn’t… It didn’t make any sense.My thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door.“Clara? ” Lucaa’s voice came in.“I don’t understand,” I called, my voice shaking.She walked in and shut the door behind her, her face was pale. “I need to tell you something. And you’re not going to like it.”I frowned. “What is it?”She hesitated, running a hand through her hair. “The clinic… they made a mistake.”“A mistake?” I repeated, feeling my stomach drop.She nodded, guilt written all over her face. “They did the wrong surgery. You didn’t have an egg retrieval, Clara. You had a fertilization operation.”For a moment, I couldn’t breathe. The words didn’t make sense. “What are you saying, Lucaa? That I… that I’m pregnant because of this mediacal incident?”“Yes,” she said quietly.I stared at her, m

CLARA It didn’t take long for the whispers to start. “Did you hear about Clara?” someone would say at the market. “She’s pregnant and not even married.” “She used to be so involved with the church,” another would chime in. “What a shame.” I tried to ignore it, but it was hard. The church had always been a place where I felt safe, but now, even the pastor’s wife gave me cold looks. It wasn’t long before I stopped going altogether. Every Sunday morning, I would hear the church bells ringing, and my chest would ache. But I reminded myself that I didn’t need their approval. My focus was on my baby. At my next antenatal check-up, Lucaa smiled as she looked at the screen. “The baby’s growing well,” she said, pointing at the little shape on the monitor. “It’s ten weeks now and stable.” I couldn’t help but smile. Seeing the baby made everything feel real. But then Lucaa’s expression turned serious. “Clara, it’s still not too late to think about your options. You can choose t

MATEODeath had a smell.Tears, blood, sweat, and fear.The room was cold, dim with the little lightcoming from the single overhead bulb that flickers every now and then. The manin front of me was trembling, his wrists tied to the arms of the chair, and hisankles bound to the legs. His face was already bruised, his lips splitfrom the last hit. Yet, he still had the audacity to lie to me!I crouched in front of him, with my gunresting lightly against his temple. His breathing hitched, his body stiffened,but he still wouldn't talk. "You know," I muttered, tapping theside of his head with the barrel. "Loyalty is a virtue, but lying? Lyingis a deadly sin." "I swear, I don’t know anything," hesobbed, with his eyes wide with terror. "I told you the truth! I don’tknow who the donor was or who the sperm was sold to. Please, believeme!" I chuckled, shaking my head. "Believeyou?" I repeated. "You think I’m stupid? You work in that clinic. Youhandle the records. Yet you expec

CLARA The blinding white light of the hospital room made my head pound as I slowly opened my eyes. My body felt heavy, and my limbs refused to cooperate. The events of last night rushed back, leaving a sinking feeling in my stomach. Before I could sit up, my uncle’s angry voice filled the room. He was pacing, muttering to himself, his face covered with anger. “You’ve ruined everything!” he spat, spinning around to face me. “Pregnant? You’re pregnant?” I didn’t respond. My throat was dry, and my heart was pounding so fast. “For all the years I’ve put up with you, this is how you repay me? You’ve destroyed everything!” His voice grew louder as he stepped closer to the bed. “What are you talking about?” I managed to croak, my voice barely audible. "What am I talking about, huh?" He leaned over me, I could perceive the smell of alcohol reeking from his breath. “I'm talking about this bastard in your womb. You're getting it out as soon as possible." "Uncle Mark..." Be

CLARA“Clara, like I said, everything seems to be in order so far so good.” Nurse Linda remarked as she prepared to leave. “Dr. Simmons will be in shortly to discuss the results with you.”Not quite long after Nurse Linda had left, Lucaa showed up. “Hey, you didn’t tell me today is your check-up day.”I never forget to notify Lucaa about my checkups since she was the only person who was there for me on occasions like this. But yesterday was so hectic for me that I had to sleep way earlier than I do. And to talk of what happened this morning, I wouldn’t blame myself for not remembering either.“How is the baby?” She asked, concerned.I shrugged. “The nurses said he’s fine. Doctor. Simmons will be here soon.”She gave me a nod.“Did you see Dominic when you walked in?” I asked, but she acted like she didn’t hear me. “Lucaa?”“Why is it taking the doctor so long to show up?”“Lucaa, don’t act like you didn’t hear what I said.” I frowned. She looked at me and sighed. “Clara, can we not h
The Mafia Don's Secret Chapter 76~ Something's Fishy
CLARAI stirred, slowly opening my eyes and immediately realized that I was wrapped in Mateo’s arms. It startled me because I never expected to wake up in such an intimate position. Our arrangement was strictly contractual, a practical understanding, not a meeting of hearts. However, there I was, lying against him as if we had shared an intimate experience. I untangled myself from him and sat up slowly.I could make out the light of dawn filtering through the curtains and tried to remember how the night had ended. I had been so tired that I called it an early night after having dinner. Although; Christopher might have also contributed to that. I was getting spoiled by his mouth-watering meals.I threw my legs over the bed and finally stood up. I stopped for a moment and glanced at Mateo’s sleeping form. I didn’t hear him come in last night and wondered if I should say something to him. I shook off the thought and headed to the bathroom. I dressed silently, the fresh morning air makin
The Mafia Don's Secret Chapter 75~ Just Enough Proof
MATEONight came sooner than I expected. Funny enough, I wasn’t done thinking of ways to have Renzetti pay for what he did to my father. It hurt me even more knowing that I had gotten to know about this at a late hour. But it wasn’t too late to have my revenge on him.I went to the dining room to have dinner. Christopher already has my ordered meal ready on the table. The sight of it already made me full, but I was too hungry to neglect it.Christopher came to pour me wine in my glass cup when he sensed the trouble on my face. “Is everything alright, Sir?” He asked.I nodded, trying my best to have the slightest smile on my face. “I’m fine, just a bit stressed out.”“Then you must get some rest.” I nodded.As he turned to leave, I called him back. “Have a seat.”“Sir?” He looked surprised. It was rare for me to do such a thing.“The meals are much for only me, you should join me.”“I’m not hungry, Sir. And besides...”I furrowed my brows at him, and he could sense the look on my face
The Mafia Don's Secret Chapter 74~ She Doesn't Like Me!
MATEOWhen Bruno left the room, I couldn’t help but feel a twinge of discomfort. I’ve known Bruno for a long time and he was not the kind of guy to retreat from a fight or in this case a confrontation which made me believe that something was definitely up with him.Also, I now knew for a fact that he was desperate.Desperate people tend to do stupid things, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that Bruno was hiding something from me. He might look all innocent, but trust me, I know him more than that.I shifted my gaze to Dominic who’s been standing still for long even after Bruno left. “Are you just going to keep standing there, or are you going to make yourself comfortable?”He walked to my desk, sitting on the same chair Bruno had sat. “You know, I’ve been meaning to ask you this for a long time now.”“I’m listening.”“I know you did say you and Bruno haven’t been quite the cool Mafia guys, but then...” He paused, as if searching for any reaction. “Don’t you think we should give him a
The Mafia Don's Secret Chapter 73~ Trust Issues
MATEO "I'm going to ask you this one question, Bruno." I leaned closer, eyes fixed on him. "Whose side are you on?""What's that supposed to mean, Mateo?" He snapped."It's just a question, Bruno."He scoffed, nodding his head. I leaned back in my chair, arms crossed, watching his face twist in frustration. He didn't want to show off that he was vexed at my question, but I could hear the slight tremor in his voice. He was angry, maybe even insulted, but underneath it all, he was desperate. "Don't you trust me?" he asked, narrowing his eyes. I tilted my head slightly, pretending to think. "At this point, Bruno, I’m not sure if I should." My voice was calm, but I knew he could feel every bit of it. "And you know... it’s not too late for me to have you killed." Bruno’s eyes flashed with fury. He scoffed, shaking his head. "And what exactly am I supposed to do to prove my loyalty, huh?" His hands clenched into fists on the table. "Because after a threat like that, do you really th
The Mafia Don's Secret Chapter 72~ Whose Side Are You On?
MATEOThe phone buzzed in my hand, and I answered without thinking. Dominic’s voice came through, low in a whisper. “Bruno wasn’t the one behind the men.”I sat up straight. “What?” “We roughed him up, threatened him to talk, but he wouldn’t say a word about who he met today. If Bruno was in on it, he would’ve cracked.”I exhaled sharply, running a hand through my hair. If it wasn’t Bruno, then who the hell was it?“Since you said it’s not Renzetti, and from our attack, it’s not Bruno either, then you’re right. There’s someone else in the picture.”“I’ll figure that out soon.”The call ended, but the words stuck with me. I tossed the phone onto the nightstand and laid back, staring at the ceiling. My mind raced with countless thoughts, trying to place the pieces together. If not Bruno… then who? Renzetti’s name floated in my head, but something inside me refused to pin it on him. He had power, sure. But he shouldn’t know I had eyes on him this close.Damn it. I clenched my jaw. I
