Dumped by Boyfriend, Queened by Mafia

"I have to hurry! Dave has to know about this."Zoe walked with a pounding heart towards Dave's apartment. Her hand tightly gripped the strap of the bag slung over her shoulder with the pregnancy test results and the envelope containing the doctor's examination results. The two red lines on the device made her chest overflow with happiness and nervousness all at once. Today she was going to tell Dave the good news, that they were going to be parents."Dave? Are you in?"The woman rang the doorbell of Dave's apartment several times as she called out to her lover, but there was no answer. She glanced at her watch, which still showed 7 am."He must not have left for the office yet," she whispered.When the door felt unlocked, Zoe snorted softly. "Habit! What if someone comes in?"Without thinking, she decided to go in. Dave often forgot little things like locking the door, so Zoe didn't think it was strange. When the door opened, the warmth of the apartment greeted her, but the quiet atm

"Family of patient Zoe Anderson?"Zayn, who was sitting down, got up. "Me, Doctor! I'm her brother."Zayn immediately approached a doctor who had just come out of the emergency room, where his sister was being treated."What about my brother, Doctor? What happened to him?" Zayn asked impatiently."We'll talk in my room." The doctor answered calmly.Zayn nodded, then said to Barra, who was still with him, "You wait here; if anything happens, let me know.""Alright." Barra nodded in understanding before Zayn and the doctor finally left.Inside the room, Zayn immediately sat on a chair and again asked about Zoe's condition and what happened to her. Zayn really could not hide his concern for his sister, the only family he had.Then, with a long sigh, the doctor began to explain Zoe's condition."Her condition has stabilized; your sister is dehydrated and malnourished.""Oh! But she's fine, Doctor?"The doctor nodded. "She just needs to rest and watch her diet.""Thank goodness ...." Zayn

"What happened to me? Let go!"However, no one answered him. The place was so quiet that Dave couldn't even see anything because his head was covered with a black cloth.Dave kept struggling to break free when he realised that he was suddenly in a strange place with his hands tied. Even the influence of alcohol that had been controlling his consciousness was slowly wearing off."What a noise! We haven't done anything yet," said Jack, one of the black-clad gang members.Dave, who heard the chatter, was furious. "I'll get back at you if anything happens to me! Who's your boss? Bring them here and face me!"The gang didn't respond back, but instead laughed at Dave's seemingly powerful demeanour.Dave was even more furious that his ramblings were not responded to and instead humiliated, he struggled even more and continued to shout at the gang until the chair kept shifting until it fell over with Dave tied to it."You're so hard to tell, what a nuisance!" said Jack, just as he was about t

"Do you know when Zayn will be back?" Zoe asked.Barra fell silent for a moment, staring at the woman who was still lying weakly, her face pale after regaining consciousness. He took a deep breath before shaking his head."I'm not sure, but he will return as soon as he’s done with his business."Zoe scoffed. "What kind of business takes this long? Is it more important than me!?""I believe... you are the most important person in Zayn's life," Barra admitted.Zoe glared sharply at Barra, her brows furrowed, before turning her face away toward the window."Annoying."For a moment, silence filled the room. Zoe felt incredibly weak, her head was still spinning, and the unease in her stomach had yet to subside.She gazed blankly out the window, her thoughts drifting back to the recent events that had troubled her, especially the reality of being pregnant and having to give birth without her husband by her side.She remained lost in her thoughts for quite a while until, suddenly, her eyes b

The car Zayn was driving had now arrived at a crowded and unfamiliar place. Many people could be seen lining up to enter.Before getting out of the car, Zayn made sure of his appearance by adjusting his wig and the colored contact lenses he wore as part of his disguise. His blue irises were now hidden behind brown lenses, and his blonde hair was covered by a black wig."Alright, this should do. They won't recognize me."Zayn stepped out of the car and confidently joined the long line. Everyone entering the place had to go through a security check—even a body search—to ensure they weren’t carrying anything dangerous like weapons.Eventually, it was Zayn’s turn. With his almost unrecognizable appearance and calm demeanor, he allowed the guards to frisk him without resistance. Once cleared, he was permitted to enter."Thank you," Zayn said before walking away from the guards.He continued forward, greeted by the chaotic atmosphere of the nightclub. People were cheering, enjoying the musi
