The Mafia's Boss Surrogate Bride

Serena’s POV I slid a silk dress off the rack and handed it to the sales attendant without looking at the price tag.“That one too,” I said, pointing at the sequenced gown. “Wait. Take the bolts by the window. Oh Good heavens, no, take that skirt away. It's ugly.”The attendant nodded, her arms already full. My bodyguard followed me, his expression blank while he helped the attendant. I wasn't in a hurry. This was my life. After three more stores and fifteen bags, I swiped my card without flinching. The girl at the counter repeated her usual dialogue. “Thanks for shopping with us today, Miss Serena.”I gave her my usual polite smile and walked out of the store, heading for my car. Shopping was therapy for me. I was twenty three, young, rich, beautiful with a father that loved to spoil me. What more could a girl ask for? “Let's go home,” I ordered, taking off my glasses and sipping my cup of cappuccino as the bodyguard nodded and slipped in beside me after putting all the bags in

Serena’s POV His voice thundered over me and I struggled to breathe. “I want my money in full or I'll have you pay it up another way and trust me,” he said, walking to me and grabbed my chin. “You won't be able to pay even in death.”My eyes widened and I shuddered. “Do you understand?” He asked and I shook my head repeatedly until he let go. “Please, I need more time. You can have the first part. I swear I'll pay you. Please.”Maria appeared and she ran toward me but he pushed her off. “Don't hurt her, please!” I yelled and then pulled my hair harder. My scalp hurt and my neck felt like it would break. “You have three days,” the first man said, blowing out smoke. Three days? Where was I going to get two million in three days? “I can't do all that in three days,” I begged, but he smirked at me. “My time is expensive. And you're wasting it. Three days is what you get. No more, no less. If you don't then you'll give up the house or …” his eyes twinkled as he looked down, checking

Serena’s POVIt was a Tuesday morning and I was helping Maria in the kitchen when my phone rang. I rinsed my hands and rushed to pick up the phone when I glanced at the screen and froze staring at Dr. Kane’s name. “Aren't you going to answer that?” She asked, and I slid the answer button. I took a deep breath before answering. “Hello?”“Good morning, miss Serena,” he responded. “The client has gone through your file and he is ready for the surrogacy to commence. We can schedule the procedure this week if that's fine with you.”I had completely forgotten about it. Somehow, there was a sting of regret resting in my heart, but there was no turning back. “This week?” I asked. “Yes,” he replied. “We need to start as early as possible. How does tomorrow sound?” I held my breath, and calmed my nerves. I already took the money. What more could I say? I looked around the kitchen, and smiled at Maria as she hummed softly while chopping the vegetables. “Yes,” I said finally. “Tomorrow is f

She looked right into my eyes and spat the evil words. The itchy liquids escaped her lips and found my face.“Uhm, I'm sorry, I'm here on a contract…”A loud hiss escaped her lips as her feet echoed against the floor loudly, the anger brewing in her chest hit the roof. I was really trying to maintain my cool. Besides, I'm pregnant, I can't get into a fight now.She advanced speedily, her eyes burning with disgust. My cold feet retreated, moving slowly until my body thud against the wall.Her hand gripped my neck, her long witchy nails dug into my skin, her long lashes blinking like a bird flapping it's wings.To be honest, she's a fool, for the record. She has lost my respect, her first impression was totally devastating.However, her hand slowly tightened as she grabbed me forcefully, my pupils dilating and liquid escaped my eyelids.That was when loud footsteps echoed down the stairs, slow growl escaped his lips.“Serena!” His voice echoed from above.She lessened her grip and I yan

My heart hammered in my chest as the low hum of the car outside filled the silence. My palms were sweaty and my eyes had lost focus.I didn't even have enough time to prepare for this. Adrian said I didn't really need to talk much as he'd handle most of the questions. All I needed to do was smile and laugh when necessary.The dress I was wearing only made matters worse. It was a body hugging green leather dress that Adrian had specifically chosen for me. It did fit my figure perfectly,but my body rejected it.The leather dress stuck to my skin. Sweat ran down my back, trapped under the tight fabric. Every move made the leather squeak, reminding me how little air could reach me. My hair clung to my neck, damp, and the room felt even warmer with each breath. I stood still, pretending I wasn’t melting inside the glossy prison he'd given me to wear.He moved closer to me and leaned in. “Smile,”I rolled my eyes.“And be nice.”The large doors opened and they walked in. Dressed in luxuriou
