Chapter Twenty Well Played
"Mama, before you say anything more, I'd like to explain." She gives me a huge smile. "There's nothing to explain Hunny, we all make mistakes. The more important thing is, I'm finally going to get a grandchild from you."
What? I strain my ear to hear the rest. Am I going to be a father? What the hell? I realize I really shouldn't be eavesdropping, but Tati's been acting so weird lately. Maybe her mother could tell me why now I understand what a horrible idea that was.
After hearing noises down the hall, I decide it's best to walk away. I would rather someone not catch me eavesdropping. I am almost to my room when Adriano stops me. Great! What does this asshole want? He doesn't say anything. He only hands me an envelope. This guy gets stranger by the minute. I raise an eyebrow at him. What?
"I told you this wasn't over; I suggest you leave before this gets out." The pit of my stomach drops. What gets out? I say nothing and begin walking to my room. Once I'm safel

"What are you doing here?" He stands in the corner of the room, his eyes roaming me hungry like I'm a piece of meat. My skin begins to crawl, and I don't want to know what he's thinking. "Tati, he's not right for you." "Adriano, I've told you a million times, I'm not interested. What I do with my life shouldn't concern you."I look at him and snarl my lip. "He can't love you like I can, please, Tati. I've loved you since we were kids." He walks towards me, his fingers reaching out to caress my face. "You mean since I was a kid, your sick, Adriano. Your almost my father's age." I wrinkle my nose in disgust and move away from his touch. "You'll see soon enough, Tati, and then you'll beg me to marry you." He smirks like there's something I don't know. "Please leave, Adriano; I need to get ready!"I raise my voice, hopi

The Mafia's Princess Chapter Twenty-Three Engagement Party
"Tatianna, is everything alright?" Her beautiful face is now a ghostly shade of white. She hasn't said anything since I've made that toast. How stupid could I be? Why did I have to confess my love for her so soon? Yes, our relationship is oddly unusual, but I thought she felt the same way about me."I'm fine, Axon; I'm sorry you've just completely caught me off guard. I think I'm falling in love with you too."Tatianna says while looking at me, her blue eyes gleaming in the moonlight.Letting out a breath I wasn't even aware I was holding, I grab her and hold her in my arms.While I kiss her forehead, she softly whispers, "but I'm scared."I don't think she's even aware she's voiced her fears.

"Are you?"Axon says as he stares directly at the trash where the pregnancy test lies.Staring at the toilet, wishing I weren't here, I avoid his gaze. I can't believe this is happening to me.

I still can't figure out why my birth controls failed me. Crap! Stupid antibiotic. I was sick right before we did the deed, so I had to take antibiotics. I forgot all about it canceling out my birth control. " Tati, please!" He begs me to look him in the eye.I shouldn't feel ashamed after all; we are getting married, but somehow this isn't at all how I envisioned my life to go.

I hear Axon call out.I holler back, "I'm in the bathtub."Shortly after, Axon comes strolling in, wearing a crooked grin. Bending down, he pecks my lips.

How were yours and our little peanuts day?"He rubs my none existent tummy, making me feel warm all over.I bet Axons is going to be the best father. I let out a yawn.
