SONIA’S POV

“Sonia!”

“Hey Carla,” I wave at James Brooks’ secretary, a curly-haired brunette who looks up from the copy of NextDay’s latest magazine volume she’d been skimming through.

Her forehead slowly creases when her eyes land on my belly, and I immediately know the next question she’s going to ask. “Aren’t you supposed to be on leave?”

Right.

“Turns out I can’t stay away for too long.” I keep walking without slowing my steps. I’m kinda hoping she drops the topic, but of course, she doesn’

  • The Mafia’s Pregnant Bride   CHAPTER 075: NEW LEAF?

    ANTHONY 'S POVIt’s quarter past midnight by the time I drive out of the garage, heading to the one place I’m certain to find Dexter at this time of the night, since the man has some sort of allergy to his house.As soon as I’d heard that soft, pretty snoring of Sonia’s, I had left the bed as quietly as I could, dressed back in my slacks and white shirt, and left the house, but not before clearing the dining table of our dinner plates.I’d taken into consideration what Sonia said about grandpa wanting me to take it easy on my cousin, which is why I’ve decided to talk to him.That option hasn’t always been my go-to, but it does have its uses.Either way, I’ve brought my pistol with me for extra measure. You never can tell what’s going to happen, and maybe, just maybe, I might be lucky to see that my cousin will be spoiling for a tiny bit of violence. If he does, I’ll be more grateful to engage.The lights in the building where Grandpa’s men’s club is situated are still on, which isn’t

  • The Mafia’s Pregnant Bride   CHAPTER 074: CAT'S OUT

    ANTHONY’S POVI feel every inch of muscle in my body tighten on hearing those words come out of Sonia’s mouth.“Come again,” I say, knowing damn well that I heard her clearly the first time and that she isn’t referring to any other cousin that isn’t Dexter fucking Romano.“Dexter. He cornered me in the parking lot on Wednesday.”“And you’re only just telling me this now?” I manage to ask while at the same time trying to keep my cool.I know Sonia tried hiding it. When we were together, I saw how ramrod straight her back went, voice even, and her eyes flicking away just a little too fast. It’s what gave her away. But on my part, I’d opted to give her time until she was ready to tell me what had been bothering her.Right now, her jaw is tighter than usual. She’s holding herself like someone who’s trying not to break. And I can’t help the anger that threatens to slip out.All anger is being directed at my idiotic cousin. The bastard. Having the guts to approach my wife.“What happened?”

  • The Mafia’s Pregnant Bride   CHAPTER 073: FLIRT

    SONIA’S POVBy noon, I gather my things and sign out of the office, ready to be back home and in the familiar comfort of my bedroom. Leaving the office floor, all I try to do is to be in my best mood.I want to push all Dexter said to the back of my mind, because if I’m being honest, it’s not like I didn’t know what I was getting into when I accepted this deal with Anthony.After he’d announced the date of our own wedding like he’d just casually announced the date of a trip or something, I knew that he wouldn’t make things easier for me information-wise.So, just like every other day, I paste one of those smiles on my face. It’s my way of convincing myself that all is well, and I’m not bothered.After I’ve made my way to the first floor, and I’m almost through the glass doors of the building, a brief image of something black and familiar catches my eye.I come to a halt and take one step back, whipping my head to the left as my gaze lands on the person seated in the waiting room on th

I’m kinda hoping she drops the topic, but of course, she doesn’t. It’s been the norm around here lately. Everyone has a comment or two about why I seem to be overworking myself even though I’ve promised them that I’m fine.“That’s not nice,” Carla shakes her head, looking back down at her magazine as she flips another page. “For the peanuts you’re being paid, you sure are dedicated.”I shrug internally because she isn’t wrong. My salary here would barely cover half of my bills were I staying alone. But I wasn’t here because of the money, so I wasn’t bothere

  • The Mafia’s Pregnant Bride   CHAPTER 071: NO WIFE, NO BABE.

    AUTHOR'S POVThe grandfather clock stood tall on one wall of the men’s club, dinging faintly as midnight came.Axel sat at one end of the round table shuffling cards for their next round, while Dexter sat at the other, staring at nothing in particular, long lost in thought.All Dexter seemed to think about was how time wasn’t on his side anymore. He was lagging so far behind, that it made his insides churn.And it was all his grandpa’s fault.Or maybe, it was also his fault for underestimating the old man.When his grandpa, Alistair, had brought up the idea of giving his prized estate away to one of his boys, Dexter didn’t think he’d heard straight. He couldn’t believe his ears. That wasn’t how he’d planned on acquiring the vast estate someday. He had hoped to talk Grandpa into doing it someday, likely before he passed on.Being the cunny, old man his grandpa was, Dexter was so sure that he would have been made to take a series of tests to make sure he was prepared to own, manage, and

  • The Mafia’s Pregnant Bride   CHAPTER 070: OFFICE STEAM

    SONIA’S POVLucia did say to give her brother some time. But I figure three days is more than enough, and now’s the time to make my move. Josh drives me to my favorite café to get some treats, because who goes to visit someone else empty-handed? Twenty minutes later, I walk out of the building holding a cup of Matcha tea and a box of donuts for him. Everybody loves donuts, so why not?Having been to his workplace that one time with Taylor, plus with Josh’s help—seeing as he’d been Anthony’s driver and would therefore know his way around, we arrive at the building in swift time.The journey to his office is even swifter, seeing as his secretary Janet doesn’t intend pissing off her boss like the last time she’d tried holding me back. I didn’t blame her, though, and I still don’t. She had only been doing her job. Lord knows I also wouldn’t have let some random, red-headed, spectacularly good looking (If I do say so myself) chick, who hadn’t even booked an appointment, come strutting in,

  • The Mafia’s Pregnant Bride   CHAPTER 045: TAYLOR’S ADVICE

    ANTHONY’S POVMy jaws have clenched so much, I fear I’m at risk of losing my molars for good. The fucker’s right, and when I don’t give him a reply again, he knows that the answer to his question is a yes. “Not every woman you meet will be a Jey, man. Has Sonia ever given you a reason to think tha

    ANTHONY’S POV“Just so I’m sure you understood what I said earlier, we aren’t leaving here for another thirty minutes.” Taylor reminds me, taking a seat on the other side of the table separating us. “Yeah, I heard you the first time,” I reply him without looking up from my tablet as I lean back in

    SONIA’S POVWhen I arrive home later that night, the lights are turned on, and I immediately know that Anthony is home. Goosebumps feather my skin at my observation, and I have to remind myself to stay cool. I’ve just recently learnt that my body isn’t a girl’s girl. She always finds a way to betr
