The Mafia Boss's Pregnant Bride 326. With That Face
Later in the day, Valerie was busy in the kitchen so Suzi decided to walk to the garden alone.The gravel crunched softly under her shoes as she wandered toward the stone bench by the rose bushes. That was when she noticed him, one of Antonio’s guards, standing near the iron gate at the far edge of the property. He was speaking into his radio, his posture tight, eyes scanning the tree line beyond the fence.Suzi slowed, almost instinctively moving behind the shadow of a hedge. The guard’s voice was low but urgent. “No, not yet… just outside the perimeter. Two minutes, maybe less. Hold position until I confirm.”Her pulse quickened. She didn’t know who he was talking about, but the way his free hand rested on the grip of his weapon told her enough.He turned slightly, glancing back toward the house. When he spotted her, he straightened, quickly ending the call. “Mrs. Costello,” he said with a polite nod, but his tone was clipped. “You should be inside.”Suzi hesitated, glancing toward

The next day, two black SUVs pulled up in front of the mansion, Landon stepping out of the lead vehicle before the others. Behind him, Antonio’s men moved with quiet precision, opening the rear doors.Max was lying on a stretcher, his face pale but breathing. His head rested against the padded headrest, and for a moment, Suzi could only stare.Landon came to her first, lowering his voice. “Room’s ready?”She nodded. “Yes.”“Good.” His gaze softened a fraction. “We’ll bring him in slow.”They carried him through the front door, Antonio following close behind with a protective watch in his eyes. The moment they entered the bedroom, Suzi felt her chest tighten. Sunlight poured across the fresh linens, the framed drawing on the dresser, the flowers Valerie had sent.She stepped forward as they lowered him to the bed, her hand hovering for a moment before she let it rest lightly over his. “You are home,” she whispered.Landon’s voice was gentle when he spoke from the doorway. “You’ve got r

The dining room smelled like coffee, toast, and something sweet baking in the kitchen.Antonio sat at the head, while Valerie poured herself coffee. Landon leaned back in his chair with a mug in hand, Daphne across from him, coaxing Ella to take another bite of pancake.Suzi sat quietly for a while, her fork pushing scrambled eggs across her plate. Max’s absence was an ache she couldn’t quite swallow, no matter how warm and bright the room felt.Finally, she set her fork down. “I’ve been thinking…”Five pairs of eyes turned to her. Even Ella paused mid-chew.“I want Max to be moved to the new house,” she said softly. “The one he bought for me.”Valerie’s brow furrowed. “Sweetheart, the doctor said it’s best not to move him too much right now.”“I know,” Suzi said quickly, her voice gentle but steady. “But he bought that house for us. For me. It’s our home now, and when he wakes up…I want him to be there. Not somewhere temporary.”Landon set down his mug, studying her. “You’re sure? It

Rodrigo’s eyes darkened, a flicker of something ugly sparking to life. “Careful how you speak to me, girl,” he said, his voice low. He stepped closer, his hand starting to rise.Before he could touch her, Suzi stood. The movement was so sudden that it stopped him mid-motion. Her voice was quiet but laced with steel. “If you lay a hand on me again, it will be the last thing you ever do.”His hand froze in the air, shock flashing across his face. “Excuse me? What the fuck are you saying?” he barked.“You seem to forget,” she went on, her gaze locked to his, “I am not just your daughter anymore. I am Max Costello’s wife and Antonio Costello’s daughter-in-law. Do you understand what that means?”A muscle jumped in his jaw, but she did not back down.“It means if you hurt me, you answer to his family,” she said, her voice steady. “And you know what they do to men who hurt their own, don’t you, Daddy?”Her mother’s breath caught, her eyes wide, but she did not interrupt.Suzi took a slow st

Two days had passed.Max still had not opened his eyes.Daphne slipped into the room, balancing a paper cup in each hand. “Okay, I come bearing caffeine,” she announced softly, her tone light. She crossed to the bed, placing one cup on the small table beside Suzi. “Decaf for you, because I am a responsible sister in law and Valerie would murder me otherwise.”Suzi managed the smallest curve of a smile but did not lift her gaze from Max’s face.Daphne perched on the edge of the chair near the bed. “You know, I once saw Max sleep through an entire thunderstorm, three missed calls from Landon, and Alma vacuuming right next to him. You’re just dealing with his most stubborn nap yet.”A faint huff of air left Suzi’s lips. It was half sigh, half reluctant laugh.“That’s better,” Daphne said, her smile widening. “If I can get you to laugh twice today, I’m buying myself a crown.”Suzi shook her head. “I do not feel like laughing.”“That’s exactly why I’m here,” Daphne replied. She leaned forw

Suzi wasn’t sure if she heard him right.“I…” Her voice faltered, her fingers curling tighter in the blanket. “What?”The doctor gave her a reassuring look. “It is early, but the result is clear. I will run a blood test to confirm, but I am confident.”She stared at him dumbfounded. Pregnant. Her. Right now, when Max was lying next door, when she did not even know if he would…Her eyes darted to Valerie, almost pleading for her to deny it, to tell her the doctor was wrong. Instead, Valerie’s face lit up, her eyes shining with warmth and a spark of joy. She reached for Suzi’s hand, holding it tightly.“Oh, Suzi,” Valerie said with a bright smile. “This is wonderful news. Do you know what this means? Max is going to be a father. And you, my dear, are going to be a mother.”Suzi’s chest tightened. “But…” She could not finish.Valerie leaned closer, her smile softening but never fading. “I’m sorry sweetheart. I’m just so happy that I didn’t ask how you feel. Are you okay?”Suzi’s gaze dro
