Lahat ng Kabanata ng THE MAFIA QUEEN: Kabanata 51 - Kabanata 60

I sat around my room, waiting for something, anything really. It's only been a couple of hours since Valeria has been here and I already feel like a prisoner. Everyone else was holed up in the office because of Valeria but that didn't stop Vin from texting every two minutes to see if Rose had texted me. It was nice to know that he's giving her the space she asked for but it's getting annoying.Suddenly, my phone buzzed once again. I let out an exasperated sigh as I roughly grabbed it and checked who it was.Honey, the balls been pushed back a few weeks- DadWhy is he telling me this?We need to talk- MarcoWhy's my brother texting me now too? This is some next crazy shit. Marco and I don't really interact. We just tend to stay away and out of each other's way. It's easier for us like that. He's taking over my father’s mafia soon so he's always pretty busy.When? -DaphneNow. Sneak out- MarcoI turned my phone off and shoved it in my pocket. Hopefully, she hasn't told security to stop

Now that we were both fully clothed, we were now panicking. "I'm not on birth control," I said as I paced back and forth."Can you not take it now?," he asked."Morning after pill, yeah. But not birth control ones.""Take it then!," he said.I narrowed my eyes at him. "Do you not think I would if I had the fucking pills?""Shit.""Sebastian, we have things to do," his mother said, stopping him from leaving and going to the store for me.He let out an annoyed sigh. "I have things to do too," he said flatly as he ushered me out of the door with him."She's definitely going to flip out when we come back," I said as I slid into the car. He shrugged his shoulders."I'll drop you off at Rose’s and I'll go get the pills. I got some other stuff to take care of.""Why didn't you leave me at home then?," I asked."So I can worry about you?," he scoffed out."My mother would eat you alive.""She'd love to bury me alive too. I'm shocked she hasn't found out about us yet. You've made it so obviou

Daphne’s POVMy head throbbed. I slowly opened my eyes before closing them again. The sunlight burning them harshly. The smell of disinfectant made it almost hard to breathe. The beeping noise next to my head gave me a headache as it seemed to get louder and louder. Finally, I managed to open my eyes. I glanced around the room.An IV was in my arm as I was hooked up to something. Wires upon wires came out of my nightgown connecting to a machine. I was in an empty hospital room. Before I even moved, the door pushed open and a doctor walked in.He checked my heartbeat and all the other random stuff they do before giving me a cup of water and leaving. Just as he left another person entered. I drank the whole cup of water like it was a shot before slamming it down. I licked my cracked lips, feeling the need for some chapstick.My eyes widened in shock. "You miss me?,"Stephan asked with a smile on his face. He was acting like everything was normal."Where've you been this whole time?," I

Daphne’s PoVI didn’t sleep.Not even for a second.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Sebastian.Then I saw the crash.Then Stephan’s face.Then one word echoed over and over again.Pregnant.I sat curled up in the corner of the room, my knees pulled tightly against my chest.If he was lying…Then good.If he wasn’t…I instinctively rested a hand against my stomach.“I’ll get you out,” I whispered so quietly I barely heard myself. “I don’t know how… but I will.”A knock sounded outside.Three slow knocks.Then the door unlocked.Stephan stepped inside carrying a breakfast tray.Pancakes.Fruit.Orange juice.He smiled as though yesterday hadn’t happened.“As long as you’re carrying my family, you need to eat.”I nearly laughed.“My family?” I asked.“Our family.”“It’s Sebastian’s child.”His jaw clenched.“I said eat.”“I’m not hungry.”“You are.”“No.”His smile slowly disappeared.“You’ll hurt the baby.”“Then let me leave.”“No.”“Then stop pretending you care.”His eyes darkened

Daphne’s PoVThe diamond sparkled beneath the bedroom light.It was beautiful….Cold….Lifeless.Exactly like the man kneeling in front of me.“I’ll give you a moment,” Stephan said softly.His smile never faltered.“I know this is unexpected.”Unexpected?My entire body wanted to scream.Instead, I forced myself to breathe.The woman behind the wall had been right.Tomorrow…Everything happened tomorrow.If I refused…Would he force me?If I accepted…Would it buy me time?The answer came almost immediately.Time.I needed time….More than pride….More than anger….More than anything.I slowly looked from the ring to Stephan.“…If I say no?”His smile stayed exactly the same.Only his eyes changed.They became empty…..Dangerously empty.“I’d be disappointed.”The words were gentle….The meaning wasn’t.“And if I still refuse?”He stood.Slowly.Closing the velvet box.“You won’t.”“I asked what would happen.”He walked closer.Close enough for me to smell his expensive cologne.His fingers bru
