SONIA’S POV

“You are one hell of a woman,” He mutters.

“Me?” I scoff. “You’re the one who keeps making things difficult, Anthony. I’m trying to show you that I care here, but you keep pushing me away. Jesus!”

He gets up on his feet to turn on the heater, but he doesn’t come back, creating enough space in between us as his hands remain in his pants pocket and he stares at me from the distance.

I almost laugh. As if that can keep me away.

  • The Mafia’s Pregnant Bride   CHAPTER 070: OFFICE STEAM

    SONIA’S POVLucia did say to give her brother some time. But I figure three days is more than enough, and now’s the time to make my move. Josh drives me to my favorite café to get some treats, because who goes to visit someone else empty-handed? Twenty minutes later, I walk out of the building holding a cup of Matcha tea and a box of donuts for him. Everybody loves donuts, so why not?Having been to his workplace that one time with Taylor, plus with Josh’s help—seeing as he’d been Anthony’s driver and would therefore know his way around, we arrive at the building in swift time.The journey to his office is even swifter, seeing as his secretary Janet doesn’t intend pissing off her boss like the last time she’d tried holding me back. I didn’t blame her, though, and I still don’t. She had only been doing her job. Lord knows I also wouldn’t have let some random, red-headed, spectacularly good looking (If I do say so myself) chick, who hadn’t even booked an appointment, come strutting in,

  • The Mafia’s Pregnant Bride   CHAPTER 069: GIFT

    SONIA’S POVIf Anthony got back last night, I certainly wasn’t aware. Not until I woke up this morning and saw the text he’d sent at around 9 p.m. saying he wouldn’t be back for the night and that I also shouldn’t stay up waiting for him.That had to be the last straw for me, and I wasn’t exactly sure why. But in my defense, in the three days Sam had been here, he didn’t stay out late. Not once. Not even on the night he’d told me that Taylor had woken up.But I do know one thing: I’m at fault for the change in his behavior. There’s no saying otherwise. He’d told me two weeks ago about his cousin, Dexter’s, wedding, which was now coming up in two weeks, and how we’d been invited as family to the groom.He obviously said we weren’t going, I mean, no surprises there. The two men would practically finish up what they’d started on the day of Taylor’s tragic accident. But then grandpa called me and asked me to convince Anthony to please show up at least, it didn’t matter if it would even be

  • The Mafia’s Pregnant Bride   CHAPTER 068: LEAVING

    SONIA’S POVTurns out that when you’ve got both good company and things that keep you preoccupied, the days tend to go by much more quickly, making you forget that your husband still hasn’t said more than three sentences that weren’t “How’s Hailey?” “Anything she wants is at her disposal. Let your friend know that, okay?” And “See you when I get back.”Either way, I’m great, thank you for asking.It’s been three days since the chain of events that brought Sam to my doorstep. Sam, on the other hand, has been healing quite nicely. Her back doesn’t hurt anymore, her ribs are still a bit sore, but thankfully, the doctor did assure us that nothing had been broken, so she’ll live. Her face is also beginning to look like it used to. Except for the little scar on her lips and the stitching on her neck, every other thing seems to be good.Unfortunately, Sam leaves today.She’d insisted that she was fine to go back to her place now, but when I’d told Anthony, on the occasion he hadn’t been a d

  • The Mafia’s Pregnant Bride   CHAPTER 067: ONE WORD

    SONIA’S POV“Water, ma’am?” Both I and Sam’s attention flickers to the sound of the voice below us. Hailey. Little Hailey, as I so fondly call her, stands in front of Sam’s stool, holding out a glass of water in her small hands.“Thank you, darling.” Sam bends as carefully as she can, wincing a little due to the pain in her back, as she takes the glass from Hailey’s grip and takes a sip out of it before placing it on the kitchen counter. This little display of Hailey’s has been a constant since she walked into my room in the middle of the night after Sam had woken up and I’d helped her out of her clothes and cleaned her up properly.Hailey had stood at the foot of the bed, mouth slightly agape. She stared at Sam’s almost naked body seated on the bed, as Sam was in the process of examining her bruised face with a mirror. We had both stared at the little girl, not sure of what to do or say if she asked about Sam’s state. About a minute later, she picked her jaw off the floor, climbed

  • The Mafia’s Pregnant Bride   CHAPTER 066: UNEXPECTED GUEST

    SONIA’S POVSam’s presence here comes as a surprise to me. During the few times she drove me back home before Anthony got me a car, her trips here only ever ended down at the garage, and then she would do a reverse and be out on her way again, refusing to come up with me no matter how much I tried to change her mind.I always thought she didn’t trust me enough to take our friendship to that stage. Which I honestly found weird at times, since I wasn’t a man interested in pursuing something romantic with her. I thought it was either that or she didn’t want to intrude on my privacy, or she didn’t want me to see her as a bother, even though I’d always been the one inviting her in. Insisting on having her. But looking at her now, her eyes being hidden behind those big, familiar, shaded frames of hers – the same ones she’d sometimes worn during office hours, I’m now beginning to piece a whole lot of things together.Sam hasn’t been avoiding my place all these months since we’d met because

  • The Mafia’s Pregnant Bride   CHAPTER 065: LACK OF RATIONAL THINKING

    SONIA’S POVEven after a week has gone by, the image of Anthony switching things up on Elena always finds a way to creep into my thoughts. It’s been hunting me, but in a good way. Whenever he’s on a work call, barking commands to the poor soul on the other end of the phone, it just takes me back to the things he’d told Elena and the domineering way in which he’d said them.I feel hot again just thinking about it.Apart from the time where we had sex in his room that morning when I’d thought he would be swimming with regrets after the line we crossed, we’ve been at it a few other times, mostly in his bedroom since Hailey’s bedroom is right next to mine, and we wouldn’t like to risk anything with her.Hailey, on the other hand, has been a gem. She has been the sweetest little thing, speaking nonstop about any and everything the instant she got back from school at noon. Her favorite place to be has been the nursery. She squealed with excitement the first time she saw it, and ever since
