All Chapters of How to Hide the Mafia Boss' Child: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Thalia Disappointment. From the moment I was born, I was already a disappointment. Coming from a family of guards, we are never expected to break the tradition. My grandfather, the past consigliere, and my father, the current head of the caporegime, are influential people in the mafia world. Our family, the Ricci’s, swore to devote the entire bloodline to one family—the Romanos. The Romano family is infamous in the mafia scene. The leaders of the pack. The most lethal clan there is. And we, the Ricci’s, worked alongside them for years and years, protecting them from the countless threats they face every single day. Produce the best protectors—that’s what my family always wanted. That’s why they had always preferred sons over daughters, and they had damn good luck in that department too. My grandmother gave birth to five sons, and all of them became part of the caporegime, with my father being the highest-ranked. Much to their delight, those sons gave birth to only sons too. My

Thalia“This is it,” I whispered to myself as I looked at the large house right in front of me. I let out a sigh as I let my eyes wander through the cold exterior of the place. Everything about it just seemed dark. However, I need to get used to it—this house will technically be my home from now on. “Best of luck, Miss Thalia,” I heard Ben, our chauffeur, call out from the car. I turned around with a small smile on my face. “Thanks, Ben. Take care of Rosie for me.”He nodded his head. “I will, Miss Thalia. That little retriever is already making her way inside my heart. I’ll send you some updates from time to time.”“That’d be much appreciated.” Although, I don’t even know if I can use my phone that often from here on out. “Do you need help with your luggage?” he asked. I shook my head as I fixed the position of the duffel bag on my shoulder. “No need, Ben. I’ll take it from here.”I didn’t bring much stuff anyway since I knew that we wouldn’t have the luxury of having our own sp

Thalia “Are you just going to stand there or what?” I snapped, crossing my arms in front of my chest. I looked at the very attractive man in front of me and kept my head held high. I followed him out of the gym since he told me so, but now he’s keeping silent. He looked at me with raised eyebrows, his eyes showing a suspicious glint—one of surprise, or maybe even amusement. I sighed and uncrossed my arms, impatiently running my fingers through my hair. “Look,” I took a step towards him. “If you’re going to keep on staring at me without saying anything, then I’m going back to the gym to train. Your taking up the time that I could use for lifting weights.”I was about to walk away from him when he held onto my wrist. I gasped as I felt his warm and rough hands against my skin. However, I didn’t let him know that I felt flustered, and instead swallowed my feelings down.“What? Let go of me!” I tried breaking away from his grip, but he only persisted on. He tilted his head to the side

Thalia“Once again, congratulations to the newly-graduated apprentices. You came from a group of 30, and now, your numbers have been cut by more than half. After much struggle, you made it to the end. You can finally exercise your privilege as guards.”We formally clapped our hands, signaling the end of the ceremony. After three months of suffering, we had finally come to the end.A lot of our fellow apprentices were eliminated along the way, but fortunately, I was able to make it to the final 12.I looked around the place with a small smile on my face. The graduation was upheld in our training grounds, and as much as I would hate to admit it, I feel like I’m going to miss this place—rather, the memories that I’ve made along the way.My smile quickly fell, however, when I realized that I was surrounded by multiple families celebrating their children’s graduations. Proud smiles and excited chatters filled the hall—all of them celebrating another milestone in their lives.My eyes straye

ThaliaI sighed in relief when I saw that the program hadn't started yet when I entered the auditorium. I wandered my eyes around for a vacant seat and saw Daisy waving me over to the seat next to hers. I pursed my lips together in a tight smile and hurriedly walked over to where she was. Daisy looked at me suspiciously as I sat down on the chair. "Where did you go last night?" she asked. I merely shook my head. "I don't want to talk about it." However, she continued to rant. "I thought you could handle your alcohol well since you told me so, but you were only on your third glass when you got drunk." I sighed. Alright, maybe I did bluff a little bit last night. I just wanted to drink in celebration of my graduation. And apart from that, I also wanted to forget that no one ever came to the special day. "Sorry for the trouble," I said. Daisy huffed. "You should be sorry, alright. Do you know how worried I was last night? The first second, I was holding onto you to drag you back to
