The Mafia Heir’s Secret Baby If you are reading this, they found us.
(Sofia)My blood ran cold.I stood frozen beside the door while my heart pounded so hard that I could hear it in my ears.The man outside knew my name.Not because I had introduced myself.Not because we had met before but because he already knew who I was.Another knock sounded against the door.It was three slow taps.My stomach twisted painfully.Every instinct told me not to open it.“Who are you?” I asked.My voice came out weaker than I intended.For several seconds, silence followed.Then the man spoke.“My name is Daniel.”That didn’t help.I didn’t know any Daniel.“What do you want?” I asked.“I need to talk to you.”His voice was calm.Too calm.The kind of calm that somehow made everything worse.I took another step backward.“I don’t know you.”“I know.”“Then why are you here?”Another pause.Then he said something that made my entire body go still.“I knew your mother.”My breath caught.For a moment, I couldn’t speak.Couldn’t think.Couldn’t move.Because this was the
The Mafia Heir’s Secret Baby Finding Her
(Luca)I should have forgotten her by now.At least that was what everyone kept telling me.Three months wasn’t exactly a long time, but it was long enough for most people to move on from a woman they had only spent one night with.Unfortunately, Sofia had never felt like a woman I could forget.I leaned back in my chair and stared out the glass wall of my office while pretending to read the report sitting in front of me.Pretending being the important word because I had been looking at the same page for nearly fifteen minutes.My thoughts weren’t on work.They were on her. Again.A knock sounded against the office door.“Come in,” I called.Marco walked inside carrying two cups of coffee.The second he looked at me, he sighed dramatically.“There it is again,” he said.I frowned.“There what is?”“That look.”I accepted the coffee he offered.“What look?”Marco sat down across from me.“The Sofia look,” he replied.I rolled my eyes.“I don’t have a Sofia look.”“You absolutely do.”“
The Mafia Heir’s Secret Baby Exactly who she was
(Sofia)Losing my job felt strangely unreal.The morning after Henderson fired me, I woke up at my usual time and immediately reached for my uniform before remembering that I no longer had a reason to wear it.For several seconds, I simply sat on the edge of my bed staring at the folded fabric resting on the chair across the room.Then reality settled over me all over again.I was unemployed,pregnant and running dangerously low on options.“You’ve been staring at that uniform for five minutes,” Maya said as she walked past my bedroom door.I looked up.“Have I?”“Yes,” she replied as she stepped into the room carrying two mugs. “It’s starting to get creepy.”Despite everything, I laughed.A small laugh.A tired laugh.But a laugh nonetheless.Maya handed me one of the mugs.“Drink.”I accepted it gratefully.For a moment, neither of us spoke.Then she sat beside me.“What are you going to do today?” she asked.I sighed.“Panic.”Maya chuckled.“Besides that.”I took a sip of tea.“I n
The Mafia Heir’s Secret Baby Exhausted
(Sofia)The next morning started badly.Unfortunately, it only got worse from there.I had barely slept after everything that happened at the diner the previous day, and every time I closed my eyes, I saw the photograph of my mother staring back at me. I kept hearing the stranger’s voice. I kept remembering the way he had looked at me when he realized I recognized her.Most of all, I couldn’t stop thinking about the fact that he knew my name.Not Sofia Rossi.My real name.The name I had spent months trying not to use.The name attached to a life I had left behind.“You look exhausted,” Maya said as she entered the kitchen.I glanced up from my coffee.“Good morning to you too,” I replied.Maya chuckled as she opened the refrigerator.“I’m serious.” She said.“I know.” I replied tiredly.She turned toward me and frowned.“No, seriously, Sofia. You look terrible.” She stated seriously.“Thanks.” I said either way.“You’re welcome.” She replied in a taunting voice.Despite myself, I lau
The Mafia Heir’s Secret Baby Finding Him
(Sofia)I didn’t sleep properly that night.Not even close.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw the man from the diner standing in front of me again, calm and composed like he hadn’t just turned my entire world upside down with a single photograph and a single sentence, and every time I tried to convince myself it was nothing, my mind reminded me of my name on his lips like I belonged in his world even though I didn’t belong anywhere near it.By morning, I already felt exhausted.“Sofia, you need to eat something,” Maya said as she pushed a plate of toast toward me.“I’m not hungry,” I replied automatically.“You said that yesterday,” she replied.“I wasn’t hungry yesterday either,” I said quietly.Maya sighed, sitting across from me at the small kitchen table.“You can’t keep doing this,” she said.“I’m fine,” I replied again, even though my voice didn’t sound convincing even to me.She watched me for a long moment, then she said something that made my stomach tighten.“You think he’l
The Mafia Heir’s Secret Baby After shock
(Sofia) I stood frozen behind the counter long after the man left the diner, long after the bell above the door stopped ringing and the normal noise of customers slowly returned like nothing unusual had happened at all, yet my mind refused to settle back into anything resembling normal because the way he had looked at me, the way he had said my name like he already knew it, kept replaying itself over and over again in my head like a warning I didn’t understand. “Sofia?” Maya called from the coffee machine, snapping me slightly out of it. “I’m fine,” I said quickly, even though my hands were still shaking faintly as I gripped the edge of the counter like it was the only thing keeping me steady, and I forced myself to breathe normally even though my chest still felt tight. “You don’t look fine,” she replied, narrowing her eyes at me as she walked closer, her voice dropping slightly as if she already knew I was about to lie again. “I just… I don’t know,” I said, exhaling slowly,
